Your birth chart is like a mosaic, composed of different energies, components, and traits that are a part of a larger, complex picture. Elements represent the drive and motivation of a person. We blend together the color and energy of your personality to paint a broader picture of how you direct your energy. Knowing where you have an excess or lack of energy can help play on your strengths while also identifying where you should find balance. Using trends in your chart, we calculate your elemental properties into percentages so you can see whether you’re more prone to initiate and act or emote and feel.
The nuances of astrology may seem intimidating, but knowing that these elements are divided into groups can help put a lot of it into perspective. For example, there are 12 zodiac signs in the chart, but they share similar drivers and motivations with others in their element: fire, earth, air, water. These groupings reflect your temperament, and it’s important to discern your disposition.
Your profile is based on the energies of each zodiac sign’s element in your chart. Are you excitable and take initiative in life? You may have a lot of fire signs — Aries, Leo, Sagittarius — in your chart. If you have prominent fire energy, Zebrapad calculates it as action. Your element is important since it deals with specific tendencies when it comes to action and connection in your life.
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Fire signs rule action. These zodiac signs are passionate and take charge on their goals, even if they are far fetched. They aren’t afraid to set trends or handle confrontation and they have a distinct lust for life. Fire signs are also identity-oriented, so they may struggle with connection and may need to open up to intimacy.
Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Earth signs rule reflection. These zodiac signs are practical, detail-oriented and organized people. They’re connected to the material world, so matters such as money, reputation, and habits are handled by Earth signs. Since they are pragmatic, they may resist modernity or change and may need to learn to connect to their spiritual selves.
Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Air signs rule connection. These zodiac signs are intelligent, and relationship oriented. They’re connected to the mind and their community. Because air signs are all about intelligence and thinking, it can be hard for them to truly connect to the material world and may lack the emotional capacity to connect with others on an earthly level.
Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Water signs rule intuition. These zodiac signs are imaginative, empathetic, and emotional. They’re related to the inner self, the subconscious, and deep desires. Since water signs are so connected to the spiritual and emotional world, it can be hard for them to separate their feelings and may struggle to see things objectively.
Change is inevitable and your temperament is bound to shift. Over time, your experiences and life lessons shape your outlook and how you express your energy. Although your temperament may be directed more in one category than others, you’re a blend of all these elements — and knowing the percentages of your elements helps give you a visual picture so you can put your best foot forward.
