Raising her hand "Earth is a Female gender. But Fire and Air are both male genders. Fire signs are compatible with Air signs. Earth signs are compatible with Water signs. If you try to throw water on a fire, what happens? It puts the fire out. The same can be experienced when a fire sign and water sign get together. Air causes Fire to grow and expand creating a compatible energy. The same can be seen with Earth and Water signs. Water helps the earth grow and blossom and without the earth, water would have no home."
