Characteristics of English Zodiac Group

Each of the Zodiac groups (water, earth, fire, air) have different characteristics. These groups and therefore the signs balance each other out. Here are the characteristics of each group.

Water Signs: Water signs are sensitive, emotional and intuitive. They are mysterious, and compassionate, have a soothing and calming presence, just like water. They are connected to their own emotions and feel deeply for people around them. While this makes them empathetic creatures, they can also get lost in their emotions and inner worlds, cutting ties with the earthly experiences. They may get moody and tend to easily get offended.

Earth Signs: Earth signs are the calm, down to earth ones. They relate to their name as they are resilient and grounded. They are idealistic and will do whatever it takes to bring their ideals to life, with the power of compromise. They are patient and loyal. But they can also be stubborn and their relaxed nature can go to the extreme of laziness.

Fire Signs: Fire signs are, as their name suggests, like fire. They are strong, dynamic, bold, and passionate. They can burn quick and bright one moment, and completely go out and quiet down the next. Like fire, they are temperamental. Some negative traits they possess are aggressiveness, vanity, and selfishness. They also might be impulsive.

Air Signs: Air signs are rational, intellectual, dominant, and communicative. They are more rational than emotional. They are great at linking the internal thoughts to the external world and making changes. Being great communicators, they can help others to do the same. The downside of air signs is that they might appear aloof and cold because they are more rational and practical.
