Everything You Need To Know About The Zodiac's Earth Signs: Virgo, Capricorn, And Taurus
I've said it once, and I'll say it again: I am a firmly rooted earth sign. (Capricorn sun, Virgo rising, if you were wondering.) But what does that mean exactly for the people in my life—as well as all others who come in contact with Capricorns, Virgos, and Tauruses? 'Earth signs are the practical planners of the zodiac,' says Tali Edut, one half of The AstroTwins. 'They actually make planning fun.' If that sounds like anyone you know, keep reading to get the dirt on this particular astrological group. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Do you have what I call 'group project energy'? Then you might just be an earth sign. 'Earth signs are the practical planners of the zodiac,' Edut says. 'They actually make planning fun. Whether it's putting together a vacation or a dinner party—they make sure things actually happen.' In turn, they often love having traditions between them and their friends and family. But earth signs, much like the sturdy ground for which they're named, can also be rigid and dry. '[They can be] a little bit hung up on status and [being] perfectionistic. They want to do a good job, but almost to a point of being really hard on themselves or judgmental of other people.' ...you likely need things to be a certain way in order to feel comfortable. 'You're very connected to your environment,' Edut explains. 'And whatever you're into, you're going to work hard for it. You're going to put in that work to make it happen.' ...you can come across as being serious and hardworking. 'Whether or not you are, people trust you,' she says. 'Usually they see you as this reliable person that they can count on.' ...you need a lot of structure and stability in your personal life, whether it's with your friendships or your romantic relationships. 'Earth moons tend to be more traditional [with] relationships.' Earth and fire signs can make a productive duo, though they don't always see eye to eye. 'Fire signs bring the big ideas, and earth signs are like, "Let's make it happen, and here's how,"' Edut says. However, fire signs are not into traditions or routines, like earth signs. 'They can really disrupt earth signs' inner flow and make them feel insecure.' On the other hand, earth and water signs are an easy match, since they both value comfort and security and 'know how to give that to each other.' The weirdest combo of the three—earth and air—can still 'have a lot of fun together,' Edut says. 'They can help each other to both lighten up and settle down. If they can find a similar groove, it's an odd couple match, but it can work.' As the fixed earth signs, Tauruses are the most stubborn of the three. They're also ruled by the planet Venus, meaning this sensual sign loves art, beauty, comfort, and music. 'They're very tuned into their senses,' Edut says. 'Everything's got to smell good, taste good, look good. Aesthetics are important to them.' It's no surprise then that some of the world's most famous artists are also Tauruses: Adele, Kelly Clarkson, and Lizzo, for example. The mutable earth signs, Edut describes Virgos as 'the fertilizer that causes the plant to shoot through the earth.' In short: They're the fixers of the bunch. 'They make great therapists, advisors, coaches, personal trainers, editors, and curators. They are the critics who can spot the flaws, but they're also good at coming up with ways to make things better.' Even when you didn't ask for it, this perfectionistic sign will always offer feedback. Some of the most famous Virgos are people who are celebrated for being at the top of their game—like Beyoncé, Zendaya, and Ava DuVernay. Traditionally known as the 'father' sign of the zodiac, Capricorns are the cardinal earth sign, making them the rational, objective providers and protectors. 'All earth signs want to make sure that their people are okay,' Edut says. 'Virgos have advice, whereas Capricorns want to provide something and really help.' Capricorns are also the ambitious high-achievers, which can sometimes make them elitist, snobby, or impossible to please. 'They have very high standards, probably the highest standards of any zodiac sign in some ways, but they hold themselves to that standard, too. They're here to achieve and reach their highest potential.' It makes sense why Michelle Obama, Timothée Chalamet, and Mary J. Blige are some of the most famous Capricorns. Edut: A spa day or a nature walk, for sure. Edut: Definitely something with fresh, raw produce from the earth. A big kale salad, an acai bowl—hippie food is earth sign food. Edut: A really nice bag that can fit everything. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Pisces, Scorpio, and Cancer: Everything to Know About Water Signs
Whooshing waves of emotion, free-flowing tears, and mysterious depth—it's time to dive into the world of water signs. While they're frequently known as the emotional trio of Western astrology, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces have a lot more welling up inside. 'They need security, they need a safe home,' says Tali Edut, one half of The AstroTwins, ELLE's resident astrologers. 'They need to feel heard and seen and understood.' Below, learn what else lies below the watery surface. Much like water itself, Edut says water signs are emotionally fluid and their moods shift by the minute. 'They have to change outfits a few times a day.' But water signs are also sensitive to the nuances of interpersonal dynamics and need to have a feeling of security—a safe home and relationships where they feel heard, seen, and understood. 'They care about how people are feeling,' she says. 'They can also get sucked up in those feelings.' ...you're a nurturing person who's all about your family and your home. 'When you're a water sun sign, the people who are close to you, you kind of define yourself through that,' Edut explains. 'The people close to you are important to your identity.' ...you can be perceived as a 'giant mush,' Edut says. You cry at the drop of a hat and tend to be emotionally reactive. 'Very tapped into immediate vibes.' ...you're great at intuiting other people's feelings. But, as Edut explains, that sometimes means you sacrifice your own. 'When you have a water sign moon, you have to really work on being vulnerable and knowing which emotions are yours and which ones you're psychically picking up from other people.' Fire and water can mix well together, but it can get steamy fast. 'It also gets a little too hot to handle,' Edut says. 'You have to be be constantly regulating the temperature, taking breaks, and being mindful of your reactions.' Water and earth, on the other hand, are similar in that they crave a certain level of security and stability. 'Water can get earth to open up more,' she adds. Air and water are a weird mix, but they can bond over their interests in more obscure things. 'They both have this way of loving to discover quirky things. It's an artistic and creative match between them.' However, it may feel a little superficial for water signs, Edut says, while air signs 'might feel like they're getting sucked into drama that they don't really want.' Traditionally referred to as the 'mother' sign, Cancers are known to be nurturing—though only for people they care about. 'It takes a minute to be let into a Cancer's world and past their shell,' Edut explains. 'Once you are, they'll feed you, they'll remember your birthday, they'll send a card.' But know that Cancers are pretty sensitive and can easily get their feelings hurt, often taking things personally. They're also the cardinal water signs, meaning they're a bit bossy and love to take charge. 'They're really great leaders, actually,' Edut says. 'That doesn't get said enough.' Case in point: Some famous Cancers include Mindy Kaling, Ariana Grande, and Meryl Streep—all leaders in their respective fields. Scorpios are the fixed water sign and, in turn, the most routine-driven of the bunch. 'They like to sit down and go deep into something. They're obsessive in terms of their focus.' This can make them really good at coding, finance, and statistics. 'They're very much the detectives of the zodiac, but they're also very mysterious,' Edut says. 'They're secretive, they don't like to be read, they're private. Sometimes, they cover that up by being very loud and obnoxious.' Drake and Hillary Clinton? Both famous Scorpios. Lastly, Pisces are the mutable water sign. 'They're definitely the ebb and flow,' Edut explains. 'They'll disappear one day, come back.' Pisces rule the dream realm and are typically in their own world, making them amazing artists. (Take Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Millie Bobby Brown—some of our most famous Pisces—for example.) Pisces are also super compassionate and big-hearted. 'If you're okay with not being able to pin them down, they will always be there.' The most understanding of the zodiac signs, Pisces like to help underdogs, but in turn, they can make a lot of sacrifices and then disappear when they get resentful. 'They really struggle with boundaries,' Edut adds. Edut: Definitely clothes from their favorite designer. Water signs need their clothes to be conversation pieces, icebreakers, something that's unique to them. Edut: They do their best work in privacy or at least need to have bouts of privacy, even if they're working with people. A job that lets them go out into the public, but then go back to their cave and assess. Edut: I would say Yellowjackets—all about what happens [next], group dynamics, and emotions.

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius: What You Need to Know About Air Signs
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." When I first started learning about astrology, I admittedly took a fairly narcissistic approach. I dove headfirst into my 'big three,' learning about my sun, my moon, and my rising signs, analyzing and dissecting how these different traits manifested in my own life. But soon after, I desperately wanted to do the same for everyone else—my friends, my boyfriend, my co-workers, my co-workers' boyfriends. I had to go back to the basics: the 12 zodiac signs of Western astrology and the four elements—air, fire, water, and earth—that rule them all. Think of it like a family tree of sorts; each ruling element has its own traits and the three signs that element rules share some of those same characteristics. For example, the air signs—Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius—are breezy social butterflies who are typically good communicators. 'The air signs—probably because they flow together so seamlessly, as air does—are aware of connections between everything,' notes Tali Edut, one half of The AstroTwins, the official astrologers for ELLE. As for everything else you need to know about air signs, Edut breaks it all down below. Naturally, air signs take on many of the attributes of their elemental ruler. 'They can be breezy, they get things moving along,' Edut says. 'When they're on their game, they're the social butterflies who get everyone to connect, communicate, and think about each other.' As a result, air signs are also good communicators, researchers, and journalists. 'Geminis, especially,' Edut explains. 'Libras tend to be coaches or agents or representatives. Aquarians are the scientists and the think tank organizers.' On the flip side, air signs can also be flighty and superficial. 'They never ground themselves long enough to go deep,' she says. 'They can be so on-the-go that you can't pin them down. They can be very indecisive and will take forever to pick an option, because why should you when there are five million others out there?' Emotionally, air signs can also run hot and cold—and the latter typically happens when they don't want to discuss something. ...it's the essence of who you are, Edut says. 'You're a social being. You're somebody who needs people, needs groups, needs to find some commonalities. When you don't have movement, when you don't have people, you're going to feel like there's no fuel in your tank.' ...that influences peoples' first impression of you. 'You literally might come across as a bit of an airhead,' Edut explains. 'Very outgoing, very talkative.' Either way, people will think you're a social creature, even if that might not be who you are at heart. ...you might steer clear of heavier relationships and emotions. 'You might not be someone who's all about feelings and drowning in them,' she says. 'You don't mind analyzing them, but you can come across as a bit cool and reserved or superficial sometimes. It's not that you are, but you want everything to be kind of bubbly.' The easiest pairing for air signs are fire signs—a fanning of flames, as Edut says. 'There's sort of a friendly dynamic [between fire and air]. Air and water, if they have common interests, they'll have lots to talk about, but eventually water will start to bring it into more emotional terrain, and air might be like, 'Ugh, why are we talking about this?'' Lastly, earth signs can ground air signs but ultimately might be a bit heavy for the airier folks out there. Let's get into the three unique signs, each of which also has a modality: cardinal, mutable, or fixed. Gemini is the mutable air sign, which Edut describes as the 'ever-changing current.' She says, 'Of all the air signs, they need the most variety and change and get bored the easiest.' Some famous Geminis include communicators like Angelina Jolie, an actor and former Special Envoy for the UN Refugee Agency, or rapper Kendrick Lamar. Libras are the cardinal air sign and the more stable of the bunch. 'They're very much relationship-oriented and very firm in what they want.' So if you're looking to date an air sign, Edut suggests looking to the Libras in your life. 'I'm not saying the others aren't going to stick around, but they're not as eager to pick a lane.' Libras are also the leaders of the air signs, which makes sense when you consider how athlete extraordinaire Serena Williams and rapper Cardi B are some of our most famous Libras. 'Aquarians are fixed [signs], which is funny,' Edut says. 'You think of Aquarius as being really wacky, but they're more about data and groups.' Aquarius is also the sign of teams, giving us famous team players like Harry Styles (shout-out to One Direction) and Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time. Edut: Absolutely yoga. It's good for them to bring themselves into their bodies. Even though they may not come to it immediately, it gets them to calm down, pay attention to their breath, and that is really what gets them centered after they've absorbed all the social energy around them. Edut: An ideal date for an air sign definitely has to be out where there's great people watching. They have to see and be seen. They need to go observe and speak about it afterwards. So go see an exhibit, go to a concert, go somewhere where they can just share their opinions throughout, and it doesn't have to get too heavy. Edut: Generally a thriving metropolis full of all the cultural activities that they love to do.
