How to Recognize Horoscope Earth Sign

It takes practice to recognize someone's astrological sign.

The 12 astrological signs are divided into broader elemental categories of air, fire, water and earth. Taurus the bull, Virgo the maiden and Capricorn the goat, are the three earth signs. Earth-sign people are generally described as well-grounded, stable and determined; however, understanding more about individual astrological signs will help you recognize an earth-sign person when you meet one. One sure way to discover if a person has an earth sign is to find out his birthday. People born under the sign of Taurus were born between April 21 and May 21; Virgos celebrate their birthdays between August 23 and September 22; and Capricorns between December 23 and January 21.

Instructions

Recognize a Taurus

1. Look for the physical characteristics of being strong and well-built. Taureans often enjoy participating in sports or other outdoor activities that require endurance. Pay attention to the colors in a person's wardrobe as that may also be a hint about her astrological sign. Taureans are often drawn to shades of brown, emerald, turquoise and russet.

2. Listen to the person's singing voice. Taureans are known for a powerful voice and are often musically inclined.

3. Ask about the person's career plans. Taureans enjoy creative careers in the arts, but their practical side is often called to a career in banking or accounting. An accountant who plays in a band on weekends is a good candidate for a Taurean.

4. Write down the person's strengths and weaknesses as you notice them. A person born under the earth sign of Taurus may be loving and determined, but often jealous and rigid. "Stable" may be the number one word to describe a Taurean.

Recognize a Virgo

1. Ask if the person enjoys books, writing, or other forms of communication. Virgos are known for being interested in all forms of communication.

2. Look for signs of helpfulness and intellect. Virgos are often interested in helping careers, especially medicine, veterinary medicine and science.

3. Ask about the person's physical fitness routine. A Virgo will most likely be physically fit, and prefer individual sports like tennis or swimming over competitive team sports.

Recognize a Capricorn

1. Look for the personality traits of leadership and conservatism. Though Capricorns have strong emotions, they can often appear cold and business-like.

2. Ask about the person's favorite sports activities. Capricorns enjoy excelling and competition, so they often engage in activities at which they can win; however, they may also channel their drive to succeed into endurance sports such as cross-country running, martial arts or body-building.

3. Find out about the person's career. The natural leadership and business abilities of a Capricorn will often steer him into a career as a lawyer, politician or executive. Experiencing success and maturation at an early age is another trait considered to be representative of a Capricorn.

4. Pay attention to the person's color preferences. Capricorns may often wear deep shades of brown, blue or green.
