In astrology, the twelve signs of the zodiac are grouped into four categories called elements. These elements are air, water, earth, and fire. Each zodiac sign is governed by one of the elements, meaning their personality traits are influenced by it. Today, we will focus on the air signs of the zodiac. The signs that are governed by this element are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Let’s first discuss the traits of an air sign and then we’ll dive deeper into the individual traits of each of these signs.
Traits of Air Signs
Air signs of the zodiac are known for being intelligent and analytical. They seek out different perspectives in a situation before making a decision on what they will do. Being the natural communicators they are, air signs are very social and love to receive and distribute information. Air signs also tend to be intellectual, curious, adventurous, and ever-changing, just like the wind. Other traits of an air sign include being innovative and sometimes rebellious. Although the air signs share these qualities, they are different in other ways. Let’s find out more.
Gemini ♊
(May 21st – June 21st)
The Twins of the Zodiac
Gemini has a very youthful energy. They are playful and curious, they love to be entertained, and they love to entertain others. However, because they are governed by the element of air, they can sometimes seem aloof or somewhat cold in their demeanor. This air sign is known for being spontaneous and they enjoy taking risks. Because they need constant stimulation, they are often anxious and restless when they don’t receive it. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, Geminis are social butterflies. They make friends easily and often have many of them at any given time in their lives.
Interestingly, Mercury is also associated with the brain, the nervous system, and respiration. This may be another reason why Geminis are often nervous and have trouble relaxing. Another trait of this sign is their indecisive nature. They are known to dwell on different aspects of a situation, vacillating back and forth, trying to decide which one is best. Because they can’t choose, they often refuse to commit to anything. Because of their dual nature, this zodiac sign is known as a chameleon, seamlessly shifting between personas and perspectives.
Aquarius ♒
(January 20th – February 18th)
The Water Bearer of the Zodiac
Aquarius is known as the water bearer of the zodiac, which causes some people to think it’s a water sign. However, this is not the case. True to being an air sign, Aquarians are deep thinkers who love to analyze things. Known for being independent in their thoughts and actions, they do not like to be told what to do. This air sign is great at problem-solving and can see patterns in things that others cannot. Just like the other air signs, Aquarians are intellectual and communicative. They have a very curious nature and a great capacity to think outside the box. This air sign is also known for possessing a great deal of emotional intelligence.
Aquarians are also known for being empathetic, however, they often seem quite the opposite. This is because their demeanor sometimes turns cold and it can be hard to read them. Just like Gemini, their attitude can change like the wind. This air sign also has a strong need for personal freedom. In their relationships, they can seem emotionally distant because of this need for freedom. It is very important to understand this trait of Aquarius when in a relationship with them as they need their personal space in order to function and thrive.
Libra ♎
September 23rd – October 22nd
The Scales of the Zodiac
Thinkers and communicators, Libras definitely meet the qualifications of an air sign, especially when you consider their analytic nature. The individuals belonging to this sign are very social and they care about others. As the scales of the zodiac, they use their energy to create harmony and balance in their lives. Libras are very focused on having strong connections in their relationships. They are also peace-makers and are very skilled at mediating conflicts between others.
Just like the other air signs, Libras are often indecisive. This is mostly due to them spending so much time weighing all sides of a situation. This sign is also known for being flexible and adaptable, adjusting very well to different situations or personalities. True intellectuals, they have a very curious mind which serves them well most of the time. Ruled by Venus, the goddess of love, they enjoy giving their time and resources to other people. They also have a strong sense of justice and fairness, and they highly value equality.
Final Thoughts
The twelve zodiac signs are each governed by an element that contributes to the different characteristics of their individual personalities. The four elements in astrology are earth, air, water, and fire. Gemini, Aquarius, and Libra are the three air signs of the zodiac. Because they are all air signs, they have similar traits. These include being very analytical, curious, and indecisive. These signs are also natural communicators and love taking in information, and then disseminating that information.
