 Air: The Mind Gemini, Libra, Aquarius Air. It's invisible. Yet, we feel it against our skins as hot or cold, cool or warm, pleasant or unpleasant. We see its effects when it rustles through a palm tree, rattling the fronds like castanets or when a dust devil whirls up the street. It makes our planet habitable. Without it, we wouldn't live more than a few minutes. In astrology, air symbolizes the mind, ideas, thought processes, communication, perception, awareness, learning, relationships. Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. They are a collective, a family linked not by blood or DNA, but by intellect. Air signs are also concerned with information. Geminis, for instance, have an ease in acquiring and disseminating information. They seem to know something about virtually everything, even though that knowledge is sometimes superficial.

Air sign people are often as ephemeral as the element itself. Just when you think you know them, they do or say something that astonishes you, that forces you to realize you don't know them at all, that you may not have even scratched the surface of who they really are. Part of the reason lies in their intrinsic unpredictability. Never mistake an air sign's cheerfulness, charm, and amiability as an indicator that they're pushovers.
