The three air signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, are considered to be positive and extrovert, masculine signs, with the traits (strengths and weaknesses) thereof derived. They have in common the desire for freedom  of expression, thought and movement.

Those with a predominance of planets in air signs tend to put everything on an intellectual level and use their minds to make sense of their lives. With Air, there is a marked tendency to intellectualize life, avoiding psychological insight into emotional problems. Thus, there is sometimes a big gap between real life and the observing mind since analysis is constantly acting as a filter. This can lead air signs to appear detached, distant, remote, even cool . At times they will try to talk their way through feelings or analyze a situation instead of experiencing its full emotional weight.

They are usually intuitive, sociable and need to gain knowledge rather than act or feel, and they actually feel very uncomfortable when their opinion is disregarded. They are often excellent teachers, communicators, storytellers, interpreters, sellers and journalists.

Those with few signs in air planets might have difficulty keeping objectiveness. They are advised to think a little more before acting, practice meditation, go outside for some fresh air and do deep breathing exercises.
