The Air Signs are the Zodiac's intellectuals.

The Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius represent energy that is directly concerned with ideas, information, intellect, opinions, facts, perspectives and communications skills. They relate to others intellectually, share thoughts and experiences, listen to feedback, and combine information into new ideas and possibilities.

They value curiosity, provide intellectual stimulation, and love to play with communications media -- reading, writing, telephone, computer, etc. They love technology, new advancements, toys, gadgets, and "the latest" applications for personal expression. They can be distinctly inventive and experimental in their use of concepts, theories, and tools.

They pride themselves on being objective, innovative, clever, ingenious, and concerned with education and the good of the social order. They are adaptable -- at least in the sense of taking other people or other minds and viewpoints into account. In that sense, sociability, the existence of "society," and the advantages of group effort are more important to them than to the other signs.

They work with information and ideas.

They observe, ask questions, conceptualize, combine pieces of knowledge into new forms of expression, synthesize, evaluate, and "broadcast" the results. They can be extraordinarily verbal when dealing with their areas of special interest -- and want to be appreciated for their intellectual expertise.

They can also be paradoxically both detached and cooperative -- by turns and simultaneously. Collectively, they represent the human mind's capacity to learn by acting independently and by working through group effort.

Under stress, the Air signs can become scattered, high-strung, illogical, "tunnel-visioned," and erratic.

These are the Air Signs.

  • Gemini gathers knowledge through a variety of experiences. It may know a little bit about an amazing variety of subjects -- but not much in depth about any one in particular. It loves to learn and discover -- and it loves to talk and tell what it knows. It combines ideas and information into new patterns and solutions. It is known for being innovative and clever, both with its hands and with its words, but it can get so busy telling a story or arguing multiple sides of an issue that it winds up being two-faced and inconsistent.

  • Libra shares viewpoints and information with partners and arrives at consensus. It is the most "partnership" oriented of the signs, greatly preferring teamwork and cooperation over independent action. It is known for its diplomatic skills, its love of fairness and justice, and its ability to weigh and balance data in order to make comparisons and promote compromise. It can take multiple view points into account, but it may place too high a value on harmony, appearances, group unity, and "keeping its options open."

  • Aquarius applies acquired knowledge to achieve progress in the larger social order. It works through inspiration, ingenuity, experimentation, and independent effort done for the "good of humanity." It is idealistic, intensely future-oriented, able to network disparate elements and talents together to support a common cause, and often shows an intuitive grasp of universal principles. It usually sports a far-reaching network of friends, social acquaintances, and professional contacts, but it can be eccentric, willful, and defiantly rebellious in doing things "its own way."

Thank you for stopping by!

If you've always known there was more to Astrology than Sun Sign material and the three line daily horoscope in the newspaper, climb aboard and follow this blog. You'll find a world of wisdom detailing how you were designed to work with life ... and why you are the way you are -- all in quick-to-read, easy-to-digest-and-remember, written-in-plain-English essays that offer plenty of food for thought.

Little by little, I'm doing a set of articles that talks about all the elements in your horoscope and what they have to say about you. If you "know something" about Astrology -- or know something about your chart placements, that will help you get more from this material.

If you don't ... well, this is one place you can learn. We all have to start somewhere ... because we aren't born knowing this stuff. Meanwhile, if you've never seen your horoscope ... and don't have a clue how to work with it, maybe it's time to find out. There are lots of "chart services" on the internet -- some of whom produce decent, readable charts "for free" and some are so awful and confusing that even I can't read them easily -- and I've worked with charts for decades.

One extremely user-friendly chart site is here: AstroLabe I recommend them if you want a simple, easy-to-read chart. I think they even give a reasonable little interpretive reading of your horoscope as part of the package. You'll need to know your birth information -- day, month, year, time and geographical place. Without all that your chart will have limited accuracy.

Or, if you want to get serious and really talk about this, upvote this post and start a conversation in the comments section sometime in the next six days from the time of publication. We'll go from there depending on what you want to know.

Questions about any of this? -- Upvote this post and talk to me in comments. It's a terrific way to build value for yourself and the community ... and it will give me ideas of what to write about in future posts. Believe me there is lots to say about the way The Sun, The Moon -- and all the other elements in a horoscope, all the other components of Astrology -- work together to interpret you and your story -- and what it all means to the person you've become.

This is who I am.

About the art in our visual essays ...

Although sometimes the background pictures in our visual essays support the topic and text, they don't always. Sometimes the connection is clear. Sometimes it's symbolic and subtle. Sometimes, there's no connection at all.

The scenes depict landscapes and natural features, buildings and wildlife. They were chosen because they show something lovely or interesting ... or simply because the photo appealed to me.

Our spectacular and remarkable planet is changing at astonishing speed. Rarely are these changes for the better. Few people seem to know ... or care ... or have the will and power to do anything about this. It may not be long before the world humans have known and lived in for centuries is forever lost. We certainly won't be able to make repairs as fast as we destroyed it.

So a few years ago I began collecting pictures of the way things were ... and still are for now, a record of the beauty we have while it is still ours to love and honor.

The photos here are part of that collection, with sincere thanks to the artists who saw these moments ... and with their cameras ... preserved them. All of us at Enchanted Spirit are profoundly grateful to them for their generosity and skill ... and for the added grace, depth and dimension their art brings to ours.
