It was my interest in the zodiac that initially led me to exploring the elements and how they relate to yoga. Each zodiac sign is assigned an element: fire, earth, air, or water. This element determines the characteristics of the sign. The elements are also called the triplicities because there are three signs assigned to each of the elements.

Fire: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.

Earth: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.

Air: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.

Water: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.
