What air means in astrology
Air is the element of the mind and of relationships. Astrologers associate it with communication, curiosity, objectivity and social connection. The shadow side is detachment, overthinking and restlessness. Aquarius belongs to air even though its symbol is the water-bearer: the water it pours is read as knowledge shared with others.
Libra starts connections (cardinal air), Aquarius holds principles (fixed air) and Gemini gathers and passes on information (mutable air).
