Introduction to the Elements

The elements of Astrology are the building blocks for astrological interpretation. The ancient Greeks saw these elements in everything and everyone around them. They were broken down into four simple categories: fire, earth, air, and water. Each planet and each sign is put under the label of one of those elements. The Sun, for example, is put under the element of fire. No surprise really, since one cannot help but think of the huge ball of flame that appears to float over the Earth's surface on a daily basis.

A thorough understanding of elements is essential to truly comprehending the nature of planets and the signs of the zodiac.
