Understanding your sign

Zodiac is a combination of polarity, element, and modality. It portrays the twelve primary energy patterns of our universe. All human beings have basic four elements in them. Fire consolidates plasma, water represents the liquid state, the air is the gases, and the earth is solid. These four elements are the building blocks of the living organism.
Different natures of human beings depict different elements. Fire represents the identity of the person. Earth depicts all the material substances. Air represents mental and intellectual growth and Water depicts feelings. These four elements combine to derive the zodiac sign.



Symbolisation of the elements

The Fire Signs: Identity

"Give me a spark of nature's fire
That's the learning I desire."
- Robern Burm

Three signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius symbolizes the fire sign. Fire is the sign of active life forces within you. It is the principle that keeps you energetic, lively, and enthusiastic. The zodiacs symbolizing this sign tend to have a high spirit. These are the people who are always motivated and willing to work hard. The vibes and energy of the people lying under this category are at their peak. People with Fire in their signs are born to inspire others. They express themselves with their remarkable actions. They are a great example of a motivator for people around them.

Surplus of fire in a person

Excess of anything can be harmful. Exaggeration of this principle can change the whole positive perspective into a negative one. Contrary to assertion it changes to aggression. The nature of Fire signs can highly influence and change enthusiasm into fanaticism. These people, if not paying attention, can transform their daring nature into recklessness.

Deficiency of fire in a person

A person who lacks fire has a lack of energy. They are lethargic people and need a lot of motivation to do their work. Opposite to the people with more fire, they lack joie de vivre and zest in them. They are not cheerful and happy people.

The Air Signs: Social and Mental

The Breath of Nature
When great nature sights we hear the winds
Which, noiseless in themselves
Awaken noises from other beings,
Blowing on them.
From every opening
Loud voices sound. Have you not heard
This rush of tones?
- Chang Tzu

Three signs portray the quality of air: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.
Air personifies the mental and intellectual ideas where thoughts become things. It also signifies the energy of breath in human beings. Individuals having the quality of air are good at communicating and sharing. They have conceptual knowledge and logical thinking. Signs lying under this category are social and friendly.

Water Signs: Emotional and Soul

The highest motive is to be like water.
Water is essential to all living things,

Rather it flows humbly to the lowest levels.
Nothing is weaker than water,
Yet, for overcoming what is hard and strong
Nothing surpasses it.
-Lao Tsu

We can group fire and air. And water and earth go hand in hand. Fire and air are outgoing and they are self-expressive. The keyword of fire and air is freedom. Earth and water on the other hand are in-going and self-expressive. They are a magnet and can attract what they need. They conserve their energies within themselves. The keyword of earth and water is security.
According to ancient cosmology, there is a distinction between the two signs. Fire and Air differentiate from Earth and Water. Their characteristics are like north and south poles. They are two complete opposites of each other. Ancient cosmology describes them as two opposing forces or polarities. You can see one as light and the other as dark. One as positive and the other as negative.
Ancient Chinese philosopher’s active forces and positive forces as YANG. Whereas, they call negatively charged forces and receptive forces YIN.
Positive and active force yangs are fire and air. Whereas, negative and receptive force yins are water and earth.

It depicts the following things:

Birth Chart Compatibility

"Birth charts are like individual fingerprints."
- Stephaine Rowell

Understanding only the upper and common planets does not help in making a good prediction. A good examination of the birth chart takes place only when all the planets are considered. Inner planets of the solar system also play a crucial role in the analysis of in-depth truth. For the comparison of compatibility between two people, all the planets cover different aspects.
For understanding and reading birth charts you need real and exact details. Ask your partner's birthplace, date, time, day, and every minute detail. Make sure all the details are exact and correct. Even the slightest change in the details can change your entire birth chart.
Different signs in your birth chart depict different characteristics. It should be analyzed adequately. Sun indicates temperamentally in your relationship. Moon indicates emotional stability. Mercury measures intellectual rapport between partners. Mars is for physical compatibility. Venus romanticizes your relationship. Jupiter deals with ideological agreeability. Saturn is for potential long-term unity and Ascendant sign is for social agreeability.

Same sun and moon sign

Since the sun sign depicts your outer self and the moon sign depicts your inner self. If both the partners have the same sun sign and same moon sign then they will be able to understand each other better. They will be more compatible as their emotional needs will be the same. Besides the emotional need, basic identity also matters. Partners with a basic identity that is the same sun sign can interact and understand each other's intellect. The moon sign helps them to understand each other's inner and hidden selves. It is a myth that opposites attract. For being compatible you and your partner need to understand each other. Understanding only happens when you two have something in common. Having the same sun sign and moon sign is like hitting a jackpot for couples. Whenever making a comparison between you and your partner, always look at your sun and moon signs.

Same moon and venus sign

Having the same moon and venus sign is like speaking a love language to your partner. Moon means your emotional needs, it shows your need to feel love. It depicts how your partner can make you feel important and worthy in their life. Making your partner feel important plays a major role in relationships. It nourishes your's and your partner's soul and makes the two of you feel alive. Having the same venus sign represents similar relationship needs. It portrays what you need and wants from your partner. If you have similar needs to your partner then you will easily be able to understand what your partner wants from you. Fulfilling the needs of your partner in this manner will be more possible. Thus having the same moon and venus is like drinking the coffee with the same straw with your partner. Both make you feel loved.

Same sun and venus sign

If your sun and venus sign is the same or lies in the same elements then you share similar interests with your partner. Having a similar taste in things makes relationships easier for you in the long run. As the sun depicts your outer self and venus depicts the way you show your affection it becomes very easy for you to love each other. The relationship goes in a flow and nothing is forced. You and your partner have a lively and fun relationship together. You two share a comfort zone. Your love flows naturally when we are together. This makes your relationship easygoing.

Same venus and mars sign

When the same venus and mars sign align the atmosphere gets spicier. Venus is the language of love and signifies a romantic relationship. Mars on the other hand rules sex life. When a couple of the same Venus and Mars sign align with each other their love life becomes spicier. Besides being good in bed they are amazing in understanding each other's love language. But sometimes their compatibility can also turn out to be an argument.
Overall they have a relationship where the spark never dies and the relationship stays alive.

Supportive Saturn aspect

Saturn is the greatest teacher in our karmic world. This planet is known for its stability and structure. Your Saturn placements must be compatible with building a long-term relationship with your partner. In this case, having the same sign as your partner is not the best. It is important to share supportive aspects when looking for a long-term relationship with your partner. A Saturn sign is very good and can be very bad too. If it creates conjunction it can increase fear and restriction in your relationship. It is very important to analyze your Saturn sign by a professional when calculating compatibility. Having a strong karmic relationship is the true aspect of achieving success in your life as well as your love life.

If not compatible!
