Do you know the personality of each sign?
In case you don't know, your zodiac sign, or sun sign, reflects the position of the Sun at the exact moment you were born. With a strong influence on your personality, your character and your emotions, it is a powerful tool for understanding yourself and your relationships in the world.
Besides all this, it can also show you the best way to a life of fulfillment and achievements. In this article, we will address the main personality traits of each zodiac sign, including their positive and negative aspects.
Initial ideas about the personality of each sign
To better understand the personality of each sign, it is interesting to clarify some basic principles of astrology. Check out below some important information about this practice and its relationship with the dimension of personality and character.
What is the sun sign?
The sun sign is the main information in your horoscope. It corresponds to the position of the Sun in the sky at the moment of your birth. The Sun is the main star of our zodiac and it carries with it all the symbologies linked to the "I".
The Sun says a lot about the personality of one's sign. It represents our personality, the ego, the spirit and everything that makes us unique. It is our identity and our image in the world.
The astrological chart
The birth chart is a kind of photograph of the sky which contains all the planetary coordinates at the exact moment of your birth. Each individual has their own birth chart, also known as a natal chart, and it is completely unique. The location, date and time of your birth are the information needed to calculate it.
Visually, the birth chart is shaped like a 360 degree circle, divided into 12 sections. Each section is named after one of the famous constellations - the famous zodiac signs. The major stars are traced on the wheel to see which sign they fall into. For example, to calculate your sun sign, we look at which constellation of the zodiac the Sun was ruling at the time of your birth.
The signs and astrological houses
One way to put the elements of your birth chart into a more realistic context is to examine it from your twelve astrological houses. Each house deals with a different aspect of our life. By examining the position of the planets in the various houses, the picture of your "astrological makeup" becomes even more accurate.
The first sign of the zodiac, Aries, is the ruler of the first house. Taurus, the second sign, rules the second house, and so on, until the wheel is complete. Any one of the twelve signs can visit a particular house and add its own characteristics, based on the time, date and place of birth.
It is correct, therefore, to conclude that the houses have similar traits to the planets that rule them, just as the houses can assume the traits of each planet that runs through them. However, while the signs of the planets deal with internal aspects and qualities related to the Self, the houses deal with the external world and external influences.
The signs and planets
In astrology, the studies of ten stars are considered, starting with the Sun and the Moon, also known as the luminaries. Apart from these two stars, there are eight important planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The energy of the planets influences our daily life, so it is what we do with this energy that truly matters.
The stars move at different speeds, some of them faster, like the Moon, and others slower, like Pluto. Depending on how close they are to the Sun, the faster stars (Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars) are usually known as the inner planets - those that communicate with our inner Self.
The planets responsible for our sociability are Jupiter and Saturn, while the planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto relate to the outside world.
Personality of each sign according to the elements
The elements of nature are one of the existing ways to classify the signs of the zodiac. Each of them refers to fundamental human characteristics. The elements, which are also known as triples (three signs for each element), are linked to the basic nature and temperament of a sign. See below the meaning of each of them and their relationship with the signs.
Fire Signs
Fire is associated with the signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. It also rules the first, fifth and ninth astrological houses. As you would expect, those blessed with fire are indeed fiery. They are very enthusiastic and ambitious people. However, just like a fire that cannot be put out, fire signs can burn out of control.
A fire sign is also an indicator of creativity. This element manifests itself in creative and unique ways, and those who have its brilliance are wonderfully courageous and uplifting spirits. Those influenced by a fire sign are self-reliant, spontaneous, and possess a tremendous zest for life.
Water signs
The element of water rules the signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and also rules the fourth, eighth and twelfth astrological houses. Water signs are intuitive, sensitive and feel more intensely than others. They are emotional, caring and, like a river, they are deep.
How others feel is what matters to these people, and they base their actions on feelings rather than logic or reason. Water is also about compassion and understanding, as the receptive talents of these individuals are remarkably high.
People influenced by a water sign can welcome the feelings of others, process them and come up with a win-win solution.
Air signs
The air element is related to the signs Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. It also rules the third, seventh and eleventh astrological houses. Air signs are thoughtful, intelligent and deal well with abstract thinking. They like to analyze, synthesize and probe.
These individuals like to spread knowledge, even if it is not easy. They are on the alert, curious and perceptive. Those influenced by the air signs are inventive and intelligent. They see all sides of the equation and are able to choose the best approach. For these people, balance is very important.
Earth signs
The earth element corresponds to the signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. It also rules the second, sixth and tenth astrological houses. Those graced by an earth sign in their horoscope are practical, well-grounded and reliable. They avoid great risks and prefer more guaranteed solutions.
Earth individuals like to build, work and produce. They are responsible for all the solid things that are around us.
Those influenced by this element feel better once they have accumulated a good number of possessions and riches. This behavior, however, brings with it the risk of turning them into greedy and materialistic people.

Can knowing the personality of my sun sign help in self-knowledge?
One of the main issues about knowing and trusting the personality of your sun sign is having to face the things that you may not want to know about yourself. It is quite common for you not to see yourself completely reflected in the personality of your sun sign. At this point, the function of your birth chart comes in, which is the ability to offer you a broader reading of your reality.
The astrological reading should be seen as a moment in which your birth horoscope (and, if applicable, your astrologer) can provide important information about the personality of your sign to keep you in a process of discovery and reflection. The construction of this moment has the potential to bring lasting effects on your life and all those who participate in it.
