Mercury rules Gemini and the 3rd House (Air) and Virgo and the 6th House (Earth). Venus rules Taurus and the 2nd House (Earth) and Libra and the 7th House (Air). Uranus rules Aquarius and the 11th House.

Air and the Human Experience

Each elemental group process all the various life experiences through the nature of the element. Air sign individuals rely on the mind and intellect to make their way through life.

Love

Air Signs can be playful, curious, and studious about love. They get turned on by wit, intelligence, information, philosophy, communication, and knowledge. The way to an Air Sign heart is through their heads.

Work/Career

Air Signs prefer to do the mind and communication work of any profession. If they are in the business of match-making, then they will want to design the questionnaires, analyze the data, and promote the marketing.

Every profession functions on communication, information, and knowledge; and Air Sign individuals will want to take on those roles so they can get the most out of their jobs and careers.

Family

If there is a family reunion, find the Air Sign to organize it. The Water signs may have an emotional investment in getting the family together, but the Air Signs will make sure everyone knows where and when. As parents, Air Signs tend to favor fairness, justice, and logic over material concerns (earth), independence (fire), and nurturing (water).

Money

Money is an interesting idea for Air Signs; and they know it functions as a means to communicate, assign value, and network goods and services between producers and consumers. Trading, investment strategies, interest rates, and exchange rates between currencies would all be examples of Air energy tied to money.

 

4 Key Traits of the Air Element

Whether you are looking at an Air Planet, Air Sign, or Air House, the element has certain key traits it expresses that define it separately from the other elements.

Air Energy Defines, Names, and Categorizes

Naming, defining, and cataloging is one of the dominant traits of this energy. Everything that exists, we name, define, and differentiate. Air energy loves categories, sub-categories, and naming variations.

There is a fruit we call an apple, and there are multiple varieties, with different textures and tastes. The physical apple and how it tastes is the “Earth” element; what we call it and how we describe it is the “Air” element.

Air Element Energy Interprets

We are constantly processing information and it is the energy of Air that handles this activity. Whether we are deciding if a movie is “good” or “bad”, or a certain car is the one we should buy, we first have to get the information before we know how we “feel” about it (water), will act (fire), and have to deal with the impact of it (earth). The act of interpreting begins with information coming into our brains through the “airwaves” of life.

Air Energy Decides

Judgment, decision-making, and analysis are categories and actions under the umbrella of the element of Air. We may make decisions motivated by our emotions (water), inspirations (fire), or material needs (earth), but reasoning, judgment, and decisions use Air energy to move forward. Choosing to act a certain way or following a pattern of reacting (of having no choice) is the responsibility of Air energy.

Air Energy Communicates and Networks

Each element “communicates”, but Air is the element that attempts to be precise and comprehensive by using words, spoken and written to allow people to communicate with one another. The “letter of the law” is one of many ways that Air energy attempts to network people and society together.

Instructions that come with products and brochures that promote services are Air “efforts” to communicate what needs to be known to complete tasks or get needed help. Translation programs that take words from one language and replace them with another language represent the communication energy of Air, as do the individual languages themselves.
