We are NOT one dimensional – we have Astrological layers! There are 12 signs of the Zodiac. In addition to the characteristics that are assigned to a Sun sign, each will also have traits of one of 4 Elements – Air, Fire, Water, Earth and exhibit the behaviors of one of 3 personality types (modes) – Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable.
The attributes that are associated with these Elements and Modes add depth to the personality of our Sun sign and therefore, depth to us.
Elements: (Triplicities)
Air: Analytical, social, cerebral – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water: Emotion, sensitive, artistic – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Fire: Enthusiasm, energy, volatile – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earth: Dependable, practical, hardworking – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Cardinal: Initiators, leaders – Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn (Notice that they follow the Equinox/Solstice seasonal changes in North America)

Zodiac signs, along with their Elements and Modes, can contribute to how we operate, how we respond and often how we get along with one another.
Air signs are usually most compatible with Fire and Earth are most compatible with Water.
But, as always – it’s all good.
