Element
Definition of Element
An element is one of the basic building blocks of the universe. There are four elements; fire, Earth, air, and water. We need all four to survive. In astrology, every sign of the zodiac belongs to one of these elements.
Signs of the same element usually get along, because they have the same basic tenets in their foundation. The fire elements are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. The earth elements are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. The air elements are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. The water elements are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. Each sign also belongs to a quadruplicity, which helps to determine each one’s basic character traits.

Mythology is the study of the stories which explain the culture, beliefs and other events of a particular group of people. These folk tales often explain things like how the world came into being, or what happens to the Sun after it sets, etc. They’re very valuable insights into different cultures, and they’re also relevant when it comes to understanding the human psyche.
