The Element of Air

The Element of Air is attached to the Signs Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. It is rarefied air which usually surrounds those graced by this Element, as this is the marker of the intellectual. Airy people are smart thinkers and handle abstract reasoning well. They love to analyze, synthesize and probe. Do you have a dilemma? Hand it over to an Air Sign and watch them go to work.

Air Signs are also about communication. These individuals want to get the word out, and it's not likely to be fluff. They are alert, curious and perceptive. The world as seen by an Air Sign will be an interesting one, as their analysis and subsequent explanation (hopefully in terms we can understand) will indicate. Those influenced by Air are inventive and clever. They see all sides of the equation and are able to glean the best approach. Balance is important to these airy folk.

So, are Air Signers fresh as a summer breeze or howling like the wind? Probably both, depending on when you catch them. While these folks are often cool, calm and collected, they can turn cold if their equilibrium is upset. A word to the wise: there's little upside in baiting an Air Sign.

Another plus with Air is that it manifests itself in a most humane way. Those influenced by Air can truly wear another's shoes, as it were. They are objective, cooperative and really want to help make a better world. There's no prejudice with these folks, just a bright and shiny idealism which can accomplish much.

Air Signs are communicative, intellectual, clever and fair. They can blow hot and cold, though, so beware of a chilly draft!

Those who have a lot of planets in air signs tend to be intellectual in outlook rather than emotional, which can lead some to view them as insensitive. They are logical, rational and detached by nature, which enables them to be open-minded and non-judgmental in most cases. Air people tend to be friendly and sociable.

Air people are adaptable, mentally flexible and easy going. They tend not to blow up at people in an anger-provoking situation, as they are more inclined to analyze circumstances than to react passionately. They are also easily bored, and need a diverse array of social companions, hobbies and other entertainments. Air people usually love change and tend to be experimental and open to new experiences. Impulsivity and curiosity often leads them to make impractical decisions or squander their money.
