The Four Elements
Earth signs
Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.
Earth represents practicality, stability, materialism, realism.
Practical and dependable, earth signs provide the resources necessary for the functions of life. There is usually a deep affinity with nature. Earth signs are the builders of long-lasting structures.
Someone with 2-4 planets in earth signs is resourceful and possesses talent in dealing with reality and material things, such as money, business, or crafts.
A person with 5 or more planets in earth signs can get so stuck in the material aspects of things that they do not see the deeper meanings.
A person with 0-1 planets in earth signs usually does not have to worry over finances. Bill Gates, for example. Although they do tend to be impractical and out of touch with their bodies.

Air signs
The air signs are Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Air symbolizes mental processes, language, intellect, reason, human communication and social relationships. Air signs provide the ideas that make things happen.
An airy chart represents a person with many ideas to share. He may lack grounding, however, and tries to do too many things at once.
5 or more planets in air in a chart often manifests as someone who feels disconnected from what is happening around her.
People with 0-1 planets in air usually have no problem with the intellectual side of life and are often highly educated.

Water signs
Water signs are Cancer, Scorpio , Pisces
Emotion, psychism, mysticism, intuition.
Water signs are the —feelers,?? the nurturers, the caretakers.
A person with 2-4 planets in water is a very sensitive and emotional person. He will have intuitive and even psychic abilities.
A person with 5 or more planets in water signs is so sensitive that she holds back, and may appear detached or aloof.
A chart with 0-1 planets in water does not mean the person has no feelings! In fact, they are quite emotional, although sometimes are out of touch with their feelings.
Each sign corresponds to an element (these are fairly well-known) and a modality (these are not so well known). The 3 modalities are cardinal, fixed, and mutable.

A Preponderance of the FIRE element
A preponderance of Fire signs planets exemplify high spirits, great faith in self, enthusiasm, and direct honesty. Your fire sign nature projects a radiant, vitalizing energy that seems to glow with warmth and exuberance. You need a good deal of freedom to express yourself naturally, and you will usually display a fairly unrelenting insistence on your own point of view. You put all of yourself in whatever you do. You are intensely assertive, individualistic, active and self-expressive. Fire sign energies stimulate people who are more lethargic, but often your energies overpower or exhaust the more retiring or more sensitive type. Good natured and fun-loving, you have many friends and you are generous with your time, energy, and resources. You place a far greater value on having a good time than on material possessions. For all the natural generosity displayed by the fire signs, they are also famous for the big egos they frequently demonstrate. You may believe so strongly in your own powers and abilities that you overlook and frequently fail to take advantage of the talents and abilities of others. You try to do it all yourself and don't delegate well. Despite this damaging flaw in your managerial ability, you belong to a group that is the most daring and capable inspiring in a management sense; the natural leaders. In battle, sports or business, it is usually the fire signs out front leading the charge. You are the type of leader that is very independent and individualistic, rarely consulting with others for advice. You are constantly out front or "on stage" and you need to be recognized and admired for your attainment and accomplishments. Appreciation is more important than money in your estimation. Nothing hurts more than being ignored. The fire sign sense of honesty is straightforward and often child-like. Thus, you believe everyone is, like yourself, an open book. You may be somewhat gullible and naive.

Fire Signs — Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Those who have a lot of planets in fire signs tend to be courageous, enterprising and confident. Their love of excitement causes them take risks and they are often extravagant or careless with money. Fire people are generous to a fault, idealistic and helpful. They are quick to anger but also quick to forgive. Fire people are usually honest, in many cases to the point of bluntness or tactlessness.
Fire people are energetic and often athletic. They are assertive and in some cases aggressive or argumentative. Impulsivity can lead to poor decisions, financial disasters and unnecessary conflict. Extroverted and easily bored, they seek attention and tend to be affectionate and friendly.
Earth Signs — Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Those who have many planets in earth signs tend to be responsible, reliable and trustworthy. They can usually be counted on to provide stability and practical help. They are loyal to their friends and not inclined to be fickle, though when someone crosses them, they can be quite ruthless in cutting that person out of their lives forever. Sane, reasonable and diplomatic, those whose charts are weighted toward earth are slow to anger but also slow to forgive, tending to hold grudges.
Those with a preponderance of earth in their charts tend to be physically strong and high in endurance. Although passionate and sensible, they are generally reasonable unless severely provoked. They are inclined to achieve success through hard work, and their innate cautiousness, fear of change and need for security keeps them from making rash decisions or gambling excessively, though it can also cause them to miss opportunities or get into ruts. While not exceptionally innovative, they have good follow-through, and are able to finish what they start.

Air Signs — Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Those who have a lot of planets in air signs tend to be intellectual in outlook rather than emotional, which can lead some to view them as insensitive. They are logical, rational and detached by nature, which enables them to be open-minded and non-judgmental in most cases. Air people tend to be friendly and sociable.
Air people are adaptable, mentally flexible and easy going. They tend not to blow up at people in an anger-provoking situation, as they are more inclined to analyze circumstances than to react passionately. They are also easily bored, and need a diverse array of social companions, hobbies and other entertainments. Air people usually love change and tend to be experimental and open to new experiences. Impulsivity and curiosity often leads them to make impractical decisions or squander their money.
Water Signs — Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Those who have many planets in water signs tend to be highly intuitive, able to discern the emotions, needs and motivations of others. Water people are compassionate and inclined to care for the physically sick and the emotionally damaged. They can be very self-sacrificing on behalf of those they care about, or in some cases, even strangers.
Sensitive and easily hurt, water people often develop a tough outer shell to hide their vulnerability. They are passionate in their attachments to people and prone to jealousy. Because they are idealistic, their perceptions of people may gloss over many of their faults and as a result, they can be deceived.
Water people are sensual and creative. Given the right environment and opportunity, they can produce art, music, literature, or in some cases, inventions or scientific ideas, that have a profound effect on others.

The Qualities
The astrological qualities are fixed, cardinal and mutable. Four of the twelve astrological signs fall into each of these categories.
Cardinal — Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn
A person with the majority of natal planets in cardinal signs will be enterprising and tend to initiate courses of action. Cardinal people make things happen and transform situations. This can be done to the benefit or detriment of others.
Fixed — Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
Those who have a lot of planets in fixed signs have good follow-through. They tend to stick to a single course of action and carry out activities to their completion or conclusion. Fixed-sign people tend to be moody and stubborn, and to have intense reactions to things. They are also inclined to act as a stabilizing force or necessary anchor for others.
Mutable — Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces
Those who have the majority of their planets in mutable signs tend to be flexible and adaptable. They accept change, and adjust well to new circumstances that can throw other types off kilter. Mutable people are often better in a crisis than in a stable situation.

This explains a lot tubby, thanks for posting it.
yeah. who'd a thunk too much fire would make you shy *shrugs*
LOL Not I, I blame all the Aries in my chart for my impatience, quickly kindled temper and grab 'em by the balls mentality. Taurus is the softer, gentler side of Sears. 😉
@jason - i think it pertains to your "planets" position which if i'm not mistaken, is different from your houses.
so the signs you need to pay attention to are for...
Sun
Moon
Mercury
Venus
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto
Lilith
And maybe your asc node?
so you count up how many fire/earth/air/water in total you have and then you compare it to the above info

@jason - 6 earth signs = you'd be happy finding yourself a sexy cougar with financial stability. i say you should start targeting women 28+ who have recently purchased their own homes and have 2 or fewer children 😉
You really think that people in here (who are into astrology obviously) don't know about the elements?
What you've posted is astrology 101 .. yet, you think we don't know.
Pretty stupid of you.

Understanding the Four Elements
As recently as a few thousand years ago, Western scientists considered the whole earth to be made of 4 elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Even though science has taken a different turn, we can still use this ancient wisdom to make sense of the world.
Fire signs
As you can see, every fourth sign is a fire sign. If you were to connect them, they would form a perfect triangle, also known in astrological terms as a grand trine. In fact, this works for each of the four elements
The fire signs are Aries , Leo , Sagittarius
Fire symbolizes passion, energy, impulse, enthusiasm, inspiration, idealism, faith. Fire signs are the leaders and the cheerleaders of the zodiac. They provide us with much needed inspiration, motivation and creative energy.
A person with 2-4 planets in fire in her chart will be enthusiastic and idealistic, and could also be insecure, egocentric and impractical.
5 or more planets in fire appears deceptively quiet and shy until she feels safe enough to open up.
0-1 planets in fire indicates a person with a lower energy level who seeks out others to inspire or motivate her.
