Triplicities

The twelve signs are divided into four groups of three - each called a triplicity. Each one of these groups symbolises an element - Fire, Earth, Air or Water - and is a fundamental characteristic of the Sun sign.

FIRE EARTH
Aries Taurus
Leo Virgo
Sagittarius Capricorn
AIR WATER
Gemini Cancer
Libra Scorpio
Aquarius Pisces

Fire signs are active, outgoing and enthusiastic, and posses a real zest for life. They can, however, be rather too forceful in their actions and come across as bossy or thoughtless.

Earth signs are practical, logical, and stable. They like to create a solid world around them, feeling happiest when they are surrounded by possessions. However, this can make them appear materialistic and greedy.

Air signs are intellectual and communicative. Lively and full of ideas, they need to have the freedom to exercise their inventive minds. But beware - although they are usually easy going, they can be verbally abusive when angered.

Water people are intuitive and emotional. Sensitive and passionate in everything they do, Water signs are naturally caring and feel most fulfilled when they are helping others. They are secretive, intuitive, and artistic but often deeply insecure and unable to show their true feelings.
