According to astrological theory, air signs are the talkers and communicators of the zodiac. Typically they are supposed to be intellectual, analytical, articulate and versatile - able to discuuss just about any topic.

At worst, air signs are supposed to be so changeable that they will not stay anywhere for any length of time, and so restless that they have trouble with serious concentration. Air signs' role is seen as providing the ideas that make the future different from the past, whereas fire signs carry out the actions necessary for this.

In human relationships, air signs are said to be gregarious and extroverted, often attracting friends very willingly. However, air signs are believed to be lacking in passion and unable to form strong, lasting relationships, with the result that astrologers believe that few air sign people are able to have a single marriage.


With most planets in air signs, astrology belives that the individual is likely to tend to try to do too many things at once and be impractical, restless, even scheming. At best, such a person could be extraordinarily bright and intelligent and able to provide new innovations. With few or no planets in air signs, astrology believes the person will be unable to articulate thoughts or ideas. they may lack social graces necessary to communicate and, at worst, are supposed to distance themselves from their own ideas.
