All zodiac signs are grouped into four different elements, and so we have air, earth, fire, and water signs. In this article, we’ll focus on horoscope signs that are ruled by the elements of water and earth.
Being born under the water element means that deep emotions and intense feelings are overflowing you constantly. Your emotions flow like water, and you can never gain the emotional stability and tranquility that the earth signs (especially Capricorn and Virgo) have.
Understanding the earth signs is not difficult at all. After all, they’re known for their pragmatic and grounded nature, and they always keep things one hundred percent real.
If your zodiac sign falls under the earth or water category, or if you just want to learn more about it, you’ll find all you need to know about earth and water sign traits and how their mind works below!
1. Earth Sign: Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
You have a beautiful and blissful future ahead of you because your persistent and ambitious nature wouldn’t agree on any less than that.
A short temper and an unforgiving nature are probably the most negative personality traits of a Capricorn. They’re brutal to those who do them wrong, and even after they decide to forgive them, they keep holding grudges forever.
A Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, together with Aquarius (by traditional astrology). However, unlike the Aquarians, Capricorns aren’t dreamers… They’re the doers.
Their ambition pushes them to set goals, and they don’t rest until they reach and accomplish them. That’s why the Capricorn is known as the real boss of the zodiac. Some even refer to the Capricorn as the CEO of the zodiac.
2. 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.
3. Earth Sign: Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You have to agree with me; the Capricorn’s title is very cool, right? Well, Taurus also has one, but unfortunately, theirs is not that cool. They’re known as the most stubborn sign in the entire zodiac.
The truth is that these are the traits people hate the most about Tauruses. And, it definitely has a negative impact on their social and love life.
On the other hand, there are things we all love about Taureans. Their intelligence, ambition, and persistence are really admirable. They can and will achieve everything they put their mind to.
Taurus, as well as the other two earth signs, is focused on the material world. Their biggest aims are to achieve wealth and become famous and popular. Their planetary ruler is Venus; the planet of love, romance, and attraction. So, we shouldn’t wonder why Taurus has been voted as the best lover of the zodiac.
4. 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.
5. Earth Sign: Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
When you look for the word perfectionist in the dictionary, I’m sure you’ll find the word Virgo somewhere near it. They strive for flawlessness and perfection in everything, and that’s why they’re so great at every single thing they do.
However, their perfectionist nature makes them doubt their own worth, which greatly affects their self-relationship. Virgos are their own biggest critics, and they beat themselves up too much.
Being governed by Mercury is just a contributing factor to the statement above. Their natural ruler also makes Virgos curious, communicative, and indecisive.
At first glance, they might seem uptight and cold, but under the surface, they’re actually kind, affectionate, and very sensible people. Another interesting fact is that they have a keen eye for detail. They notice even the smallest detail; the things that other people may find unimportant.
6. 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.
