In astrological conversations, sun signs are typically at the fore.
A sun sign is determined by the zodiac sign the sun was positioned in at the time of your birth, according to Astrology.com.
Your sun sign influences how you naturally present yourself to the world—your core identity, strengths and weaknesses, romantic compatibility, and self-expression. Each of the zodiac signs also falls under one of the four elements: earth, water, air, and fire.
Earth element
People with earth signs—Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus—are connected to the earth element, making them the most grounded of the zodiac. They are reliable, stable, and practical, with a strong connection to the physical world.
True to their element, earth signs are down-to-earth and in tune with nature. To rejuvenate, Virgos, Capricorns, and Taureans can go for nature walks, practice grounding, do yoga, garden, cook, explore nature photography, or organize their homes.
Water element
Scorpio, Pisces, and Cancer are the water signs of the zodiac. They are the most emotional, embodying traits such as sensitivity, empathy, strong intuition, and nurturing qualities. They live from the heart and are deeply attuned to their own emotions and those of others.
Water signs can nurture themselves by incorporating water-based self-care: relaxing baths, sitting near lakes or oceans, swimming, beach walks, or meditating and doing yoga by the water.
Air element
Air signs—Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra—are the thinkers and communicators of the zodiac. They live in their minds, constantly buzzing with thoughts, dreams, and plans. Known as the social butterflies, they thrive on intellectual conversations and connection.
They recharge best through mental stimulation, such as reading, having meaningful conversations, solving puzzles, learning a new language, exploring art at museums or galleries, coloring, or listening to thought-provoking podcasts.
Fire element
Leo, Sagittarius, and Aries are the fire signs. Like fire itself, they are full of energy and passion—enthusiastic, bold, and spontaneous.
They restore their vitality through adventure and physical activity. Sporty hobbies, hiking, dancing, jogging, working out, spontaneous trips, and even soaking up the sun help them embrace and sustain their fiery energy.
