24. THE CONSTELLATIONS OF THE ELEMENT AIR – THE SOLAR SIGNS OF FIRE (IN WESTERN ASTROLOGY - EARTH)

Air is the fourth element in each group. If we are talking about the Solar Sign, this is Fire. The planet is projected on the constellation Air and the sun on the element Fire. In the current classical western astrology the element of these Solar Signs is called Earth. They include Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Jyotish tells us that now they are Aries, Leos and Sagittarians.

This is very peculiar element of the zodiac signs. They are pronounced intellectuals, that is, "to the bone". But in contrast to the previous group, Water-Earth Elements (formerly Air), who are sociable, these people are intellectuals are closed. They do not like crowds, avoid contact with large groups of people. They are single-persons, loving reading, thin informal conversations, appreciating of art and peace. Most often they are punctual organizers, analysts are behind the scenes.

In each of these three groups of constellations this element indicates the most distant position relative to the corresponding Nucleus.

If we compare with the rest elements in the zodiac sequence, Air is located in a kind of "energy pit". What does this mean? And the fact that the total number of particles received from its own Nucleus is already small, due to the distance. And the number coming from the neighboring giant body is so small that you can’t take it into account. Of course, we are not talking about the peculiar group of constellations receiving the full radiation from two Nuclei simultaneously.

The ratio of radiations at the Solar Signs of the element Air in the greatest extent is shifted to the higher plans. This means that mainly the upper chakras are developed, but in general, even less than at signs of all other elements.

This shift to the chakras of upper level leads to a curious situation. It is these energy centers receive the greatest impulse to the development, since they are opened most of all and felt by human in the greatest extent. And he (she) inevitably becomes an intellectual, so the remaining undeveloped chakras did not distract from the mental activity.

These signs in some way are pariahs among the zodiac signs. Excessive pedantry, dry and melancholy emanate from their astrological characteristics. Nobody wants to be such.

Astrologers are right largely. Air signs (in western astrology this is Earth) really have to exert more effort than the signs of other elements to fully perceive the world around them. Ability to express their thoughts and feelings, to be spontaneous and active, is weakened at them. They have to make an effort to interact with the environment in the greatest extent.
