The zodiac air signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. In astrology, the air element is associated with an intellectual and communicative temperament. These signs are noted for their cerebral nature. They are idea person’s who enjoy mental activity and social interaction.

Air Signs Meaning

The Air elements live in the lofty realm of ideas and rational thought. Air is of an ethereal nature and mentally detached from the Mondial strictures of reality. Air signs thoroughly enjoy the mental exercise of discourse. Conversation and the exchange of information is their bread and butter. The Air elements are masculine or “Yang”. They are information collectors who love to work with their intellect and intuition. Verbalization, visualization and aspiration are some of the keynotes that describe the essence of this element.

The air signs have an inherent need to distance themselves from the immediate experiences of daily life and orient themselves with a more objective perspective and rational approach to everything they do. The air signs concentrate their energy on conceptualizing and bringing to fruition the machinations and conceptions their mind produces. They are both dreamers and doers but they are happy even playing with ideas and theories without any necessary application.

Gemini is the mutable air sign symbolized by the light, breezy weather of late spring. Libra in contrast, is a cardinal air sign that is representative of strong winds followed by periods of calm during hurricane season. Aquarius is fixed air that is symbolized by the still, frigid air of winter. The detached quality of air signs allow them to move in and out of various social circles easily. They are able to mix and mingle with people without feeling the need to form deep emotional connections. They instead prefer to operate in a very casual, carefree impersonal way of interaction. They tend not to get tied up with emotional baggage or over-involve themselves with other people’s worries and emotions.

With the Fire signs, Air will find a companion who shares a mutual appreciation for freedom and expression. On a symbolic level, air fuels fire’s combustion and is necessary because without oxygen, fire would die out. Air signs will feel emboldened to explore and generate ideas that can be embraced and run with by the fire element sign. Air meshes well with fire and although the two can form a fairly fruitful symbiosis, fire element signs can sometimes grow impatience with the air signs need for careful deliberation before acting or committing themselves.
