Air is connected to our mind -- it's about communication and the fact that we humans;

think! Yes, think -- maybe some of us don't do a

lot of our own thinking but that's because the mind is so easily distracted -- and always

moving from one place to another... just like the air outside -- the air in nature.

But that's because our minds are always looking for something new -- like a breath of fresh

Air! Ha! In our lives, the element Air represents the

conversations we have with people, what we read and learn, our sense of humor, our relationships

(that's a big one), who and how we socialize, and what connects us as people. It's all about

connections! Air symbolizes people who are journalists,

writers, diplomats, comedians, and idealists who make a statement in the world. Some really

great people have been born under an Air sign. People like Gandi, Lincoln, Mozart, and Anne

Frank... but also present day thinkers like Jimmy Carter, Rosa Parks, John Lennon, and

Oprah. These people all had ideas and they wanted

to share those ideas with us. So, let's not get the idea that Air is going

to be about books and studying. It can be about that... but the qualities of Air can

be found in a regular guy who makes you laugh. Someone who likes to socialize and have a

good time. If you meet someone who wants to chat you up -- I'll bet they're an Air style

person. Let's take a deeper look at Air!

What is Air? Okay, so what is Air about? Well, it's the

element that rules our mind and the way we think. But it's not intellectualism... it's

about thinking and communicating -- and we all do that!

Air is about how we use language to explain our experiences. Even our feelings are something

that we need to put words to -- in order for other people to understand where we're coming

from. We love to share what we're experiencing with

each other and Air is the element that does the job.

Air signs represent language, negotiating, and socializing

In fact, all the Air signs are social -- and the way that we communicate can be - how we

communicate with ourselves, with one other person, or with a group of people - and Air

is in charge of all of it! Also -- communication is not just talking

-- writing is also a part of Air -- and if you think of the way that email and texting

have taken off -- you can see that we love to communicate in writing too!

And just one more thing -- Air is looking for truth -- that's why humanitarians are

a part of Air. Truth and fairness! That's why it also rules humor -- comedians are always

putting the truth in our faces and making us laugh about it.
