Air signs – Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius
Air signs are intellectual, communicative, and artistic in nature. There are three air signs in vedic astrology. They are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. The difference is in the movable, fixed, and dual aspects of these signs. Libra is movable and hence has the most mental currents. Aquarius is fixed and hence has the mental currents. Gemini is dual and hence in-between. The zodiac of the ascendant and the Moon sign indicate the backdrop for the person’s life. A person with lagna and Moon as air signs will be air-like. Individual planets are players in the backdrop. The natural characteristics of the planet may gel with the backdrop or be in opposition to the backdrop.
The main attributes can be remembered by considering just the following three dimensions.
- The symbol of the sign
- The sign’s element – fire, earth, air, or water
- The qualities of sign – movable, fixed, or dual
Gemini
Gemini’s symbol is twins – one male and one female. It, therefore, blends male and female energies. The symbolism is all about duality. Hence, it is the most dual of all the signs. Therefore, Gemini natives are dual minded and can have dual careers. Mercury rules Gemini; signifying communications and intelligence. Gemini natives are therefore loquacious, materialistic, and rely on their intelligence. It is also the 3rd house in kala purusha, further indicating communications.
Libra
Libra’s symbol is a balance. Therefore, Libra is the most mercantile sign. It signifies commerce and business. Libra is also a movable sign, enhancing the air-like qualities. Librans love beautiful and luxurious things. They are also known for excessive spending and self-indulgence. Saturn is the their yoga-karaka because it owns the fourth and fifth houses. Therefore, Librans are interested in politics and like public professions. Friends and clubs are important to Librans because it is the seventh sign in kala purusha.
Aquarius
Aquarius’ symbol is a man with a pitcher. This is also the most fixed of the air signs. Therefore, Aquarians tend to collect and hoard things instead of spend like Librans. Natives are unconventional, philosophical, and like new ideas. It is also the 11th house in kala purusha, representing friends, clubs, and societies. Hence,aquarians value friendship and love clubs and societies. Saturn rules the sign and therefore indicates slower progress in life.
