Astrological elements history?

Is there a history of how each of the four elements was ascribed to each of the 12 astrological signs? Some of it doesn't make sense to me.

For example: Why is Aries a Fire sign? Rams spend their lives on the ground.

Why is Virgo an Earth sign? What's the Earth got to do with virginity?

Why is AQUArius an Air sign instead of a Water sign. Aqua is Latin for water. Seems like a no-brainer.

And, why is Scorpio a Water sign? Scorpions have nothing to do with water. They don't like it or live in it.

There must be more to this picture. Don't you think so?

just look at Leo constellation. you can imagine it being a bear or even a rat instead of a lion 😛
