Each of the zodiac signs relates to one of the four elements (earth, fire, air, water), and that is how the elemental earth signs, fire signs, air signs, and water signs came into existence. Today, we’ll talk about fire and water signs.
This distinction of zodiac signs into elements combined with the three modalities (cardinal, fixed, and mutable) helps divide each one of them into a set of unique personality traits and characteristics.
For example, fire signs are known for their passion, inspiration, creativity, spontaneity, and competitive spirit, while being born under the water element means that deep emotions and intense feelings are overflowing you constantly.
If you’re interested in learning more about this, below you’ll find specific personality traits of all fire and water signs and their significance.
1. Water Sign: Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces is the last sign on the zodiac wheel. Some astrologers say that this is the reason why they’re so deep and emotional. They easily become overflowed with emotions and are emotionally unstable in general.
Lack of self-esteem is just another one of their curses. Pisces feel unworthy, and they’re prone to seeking approval and validation from others. Long story short, they’re unable to identify their own abilities and they need other people to point them out.
Pisces is governed by Neptune, and that makes it the most creative and artistic sign on the zodiac wheel. And, since they’re a mutable sign, being impressionable is one of their main characteristics.
That’s also a reason why they have such an emotional and empathetic nature. They feel other people’s emotions deeply, which affects them and creates frequent shifts in their personality.
2. Fire Sign: Aries (March 21-April 19)
Aries is the first sign within the zodiac. Given that Aries is a cardinal sign (the born leader of the astrology pack), action and impulsivity are the main Aries traits.
Aries has this tendency to act before speaking and face challenges head-on. Competitiveness is their fuel because they like to be first in every aspect of their lives.
This zodiac sign is great at starting new projects because their commitment and passion for new tasks are really strong, but sometimes they have problems finishing them. It’s because they like to do things ‘right now’, and they often ignore potential consequences.
This is totally expected because Aries is ruled by Mars, the God of war. We all know that warriors are a symbol of recklessness and fiery personality. This means when an Aries woman is done with you, you’ll know it for sure.
3. Water Sign: Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
This water sign is also known as one of the most emotional star signs. That’s probably because they’re so highly intuitive.
People born under this zodiac sign can pick on other people’s emotions, and they possess strong empath abilities.
Cancerians are also in touch with their own feelings, and they struggle with letting go of the negative ones. That’s probably a reason why they’re known as one of the biggest grudge-holders in the entire zodiac.
Cancer is truly a marriage-material zodiac sign. They’re nurturing, devoted, loyal, and caring. They are not afraid of commitment, and their partner can be sure that they’ll never cheat or betray them in any way.
They care for their loved ones and are always emotionally present for their friends, family, and romantic partners. If you have at least one Cancerian in your life, you should truly consider yourself lucky.
4. Fire Sign: Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Leo is a fixed sign. This means that his Sun sign falls into the fixed quadruplicity, and it is linked with traits like stability and determination.
Fire sign Leo is great at hiding their weakness from the world and revealing their strengths to the world. This astrological sign is also open to constant learning of new things and sharing their knowledge with others.
Just like air signs (Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra), Leos are great thinkers. The new moon helps them achieve their goals because it fills them with a double dose of the lion’s fire and can-do energy.
Artistic, inspiring, and passionate, Leo’s traits are truly impressive. However, sometimes they have this tendency to be attention-seekers.
If any of you ladies is wondering how to satisfy a Leo man in bed, keep in mind that you cannot go wrong with giving him the royal treatment.
5. Water Sign: Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpio is the eighth zodiac sign and one of the most powerful ones. Their strong will, ambition, and determination make this sign the zodiac’s powerhouse.
I said above that Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, but this star sign actually has dual rulership. Mars is Scorpio‘s co-ruler. It’s no wonder why this zodiac sign is so complex and hard to understand.
People with the Scorpio sun sign are brutally honest. They will always tell the truth, even when they’re aware that the truth may hurt another person’s feelings.
Scorpios are extremely focused and strong-willed people. Once they put their mind to something, there is nothing that can stop them from achieving it.
One of the greatest Scorpio traits is being loyal. They never but never hurt or let down those they love, and once they commit to someone, their commitment is forever. They’re also the most amazing and caring friends.
6. Fire Sign: Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarians are super flexible and easy-going individuals. They are passionately devoted to learning and exploring the world around them. They are always on the lookout for new languages, travel, and ideas.
Ladies, when a Sagittarius man ignores you, it means he’s starting to feel caged. It’s because this zodiac sign is ruled by Jupiter (the patron planet of expansion).
Astrologers describe this astrology sign as cultural, spiritual, and diverse, which are legit fire sign characteristics. Once a Sagittarian feels inspired, they can do whatever they set their mind to because they aren’t quitters.
On the contrary to water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) who are emotional and intuitive, Sagittarians can be extreme overthinkers. Overthinking and being cold-hearted in certain situations are some of the negative Sagittarius traits.
