Do you know your zodiac sign? Do you ever wonder why people have

certain personality characteristics? These twelve signs could explain

these questions and give you insight into your future and your

relationships.

There are two ways to group the twelve signs. The first way is to

divide them into four groups, based on the four elements. Aries, Leo

and Sagittarius are in the Fire group. Fire signs are very intense and

exciting, inspirational and imaginative. Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn

are in the Earth group. Earth signs have characteristics such as

common sense and stability. Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are in the Air

group. Air signs are very sociable and intellectual. Lastly, Cancer,

Scorpio and Pisces are in the Water group. Water signs are very

emotional and have great intuition.

The second way to group the zodiac signs is to separate them into

three modes. The three modes are based on creativity. Aries, Cancer,

Libra and Capricorn are in the first mode called Cardinal. Cardinal

signs are inclined to initiate change. They cause things to happen.

Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius are in the mode called Fixed. Fixed

signs are inclined to sustain, preserve, endure and solidify change.

They are very focused and determined. Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and

Pisces are in the last mode called Mutable. Mutable signs are very

adaptive and flexible. They take things and attempt to adapt or alter

them.

If you combine the two classification systems, you will find that each

sign has a different combination of the two groups. For example,

Taurus is fixed earth and is the only sign that has that combination.

This is what makes each sign unique and what creates different

characteristics in people.
