Read what each element and zodiac sign says all about you…

The Air Signs: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra:

You’ve probably heard the phrase “winds of change.” This is relevant because the Air signs Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra will whisk you away. They crave for constant movement, creativity, action, and ideas. With these, some people may perceive the Air elements as a little bit of an airhead, but they are just too adventurous (and fun to be with). They are exciting friends but don’t dare cross them as they can be very powerful (as the wind) when provoked.
