Water signs, fire signs, earth signs, air signs. Every zodiac sign is under the influence of one of these four elements. Each element controls three signs, and today, we’ll talk about AIR SIGNS and their personality traits.
Just as other elements in your birth chart, these elements can provide us with an explanation and understanding of why some zodiac signs behave the way they do.
Air signs are all about intellectual and mental energy. Thinking, analyzing (and overthinking) is their way of life.
These zodiac signs are easily bored if there is no mental stimulation, including thought-provoking questions, passionate debates, etc.
If your zodiac sign falls under the air category, or if you just want to learn more about it, you’ll find all you need to know about air signs traits and how their mind works below!
What Are The Air Signs Of The Zodiac?
These are the three air signs of the zodiac: Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra. These individuals usually work as writers, teachers, editors, or in commerce because communication is their main orientation.
Unlike water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces), who solely rely on their intuition and emotions, all air signs approach things from a logical standpoint.
They are also the most social of the four elements. They are the life of the party, and they certainly don’t give a damn about what others think of them. Their air signs’ characteristics are truly inspiring.
However, these zodiac signs have some negative traits as well. At times, they can be indecisive and unpredictable. They spend lots of time thinking and re-thinking things, which makes it hard for them to make a decision (even if it’s a simple one).
With all that being said, let’s take a look at how the air element is manifested in these three air signs.
Air Signs: Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
Aquarians, ruled by Saturn (the planet of order and discipline), are visionaries and revolutionaries. They see possibilities everywhere around them. They connect the dots, find a way to make things work, and welcome diversity in all shapes and sizes.
They don’t blindly follow others but are trendsetters. They are the ones waiting for others to catch up.
For example, if a group of people is doing the same thing, Aquarians won’t be a part of it because they are born leaders and aren’t gullible. They are careful about their activities and with whom they spend their time.
Thinking outside the box and being original in everything they do are the main Aquarius traits. That is why an Aquarius man in bed wants his woman to be open to trying new things. Routine is out of the question.
Just like the Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn), Aquarians are serious thinkers. This sign is represented by the water bearer, meaning they give knowledge to the world.
They are unique, innovative, and they have a strong sense of self. Because of this, it’s really hard to change this fixed sign’s mind.
Air Signs: Gemini (May 21–June 20)
Gemini air signs are one of the most adaptable signs of the zodiac. This mutable sign is a great organizer of social events because of its versatility and adaptability.
Gemini is ruled by Mercury (the planet of communication). Astrologers describe this zodiac sign as great communicators, problem solvers, and curious people, which are indeed the three main Gemini traits.
They are constantly absorbing and analyzing information, and they are the least judgmental of all zodiac signs. Why? Because they tend to analyze situations from different perspectives instead of just their own.
Because of that, Geminis can easily get along with anyone. Also, they have the most changeable nature of all zodiacs, which can be a good or bad thing.
They don’t settle for routines and boring schedules, but they are constantly on the lookout for mental stimulation and to spice things up. If a Gemini feels bored in your company, they will not hesitate to go somewhere else where they’ll have more fun.
And let’s not forget, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about Geminis, it’s this: If a Gemini man likes you, he will not play games. He will show the entire world how crazy he is about you.
Air Signs: Libra (September 23–October 22)
Just like the fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), who are extremely passionate, Libra‘s trademark is their charming and magnetic personality.
They are also social butterflies, just like Geminis. The only difference is that they are pickier when it comes to acquaintances.
Libra is a cardinal sign ruled by Venus. This energy can manifest as a shallow obsession with appearances, which is visible in their appreciation of anything beautiful.
Being diplomatic, magnetic, and optimistic are the main Libra traits. They don’t have a problem going out of their way to put themselves in someone else’s shoes and analyzing things from different perspectives. They value fairness and harmony above anything else.
They don’t like confrontation, which can be a bad thing because they would rather be silent and suffer than deal with the problem.
Libra’s negative traits are being people pleasers and overthinkers. Once my friend did a Tarot reading, and this is exactly what they said to her. But this definitely doesn’t make them less magnetic!
Air Signs In The Zodiac Are Real Thinkers
The element of air in Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra make them great communicators and amazing thinkers. They are creative souls, social butterflies, and innovators.
When it comes to their compatibility with other signs, fire and air signs complement each other because “air feeds fire.”
Water and air signs can have a challenging relationship because a water sign can find air signs to be cold. Earth and air signs don’t really match because earth signs are too stale for air signs.
Let’s not forget, Aquarius and Gemini are TOTALLY compatible, which is perfectly explained here: Aquarius And Gemini Compatibility: A True Love Match.
