If you were born on the first or last day of a Sun sign, in astrological terms you were born on a cusp. If that's the case, you will probably benefit from reading your own Sun sign and the Sun sign that ends or begins right before or after your date of birth. For example, if your birth date is 22 December, your astrological Sun sign is Capricorn, but you probably have some Sagittarian traits as well and you should consider reading about both sun signs.

Zodiac sun signs are grouped into four essential elements that when combined, create the world and allow life to flourish. Each of the 12 zodiac signs falls under a specific element and the 4 elements help in understanding everybody's place in the world. The zodiac sign elements are Air, Water, Earth and Fire.

Zodiac elements are extremely symbolic with the astrology sign that they represent and will help you gain a greater understanding of people's zodiac signs and what they do in life. The astrology elements are just as important to the characteristics and personality traits of a person as their zodiac sun sign.
