I may have put this in here already, a long time ago. But I'm doing it again. Kind of for my own reference, and stuff. And I'm bored, and thinking over another stump in that darn profile I'm working on.
This was kidnapped from Wikipedia, and shortened a bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WATER (UNDA) (IAR)
Animals: Dolphin. Seal. Turtle. Frog. Fish. Astral Creatures: Undine/Mermaid. Sea Serpent/Dragon. Naiad/Oreade. Color: Blue. Represents: Emotion. Wisdom. Intuition. Fertility.
Water signs are said ot be intuitive, imaginative, deeply emotional, and sensitive (even hypersensitive), and are said topossess a great desire to help others. They are occasionally referred to as "mute signs", because they supposedly rely so much on non-verbal communication rather than direct discussion.
At their worst, water signs are supposed to be withdrawn, secretive, overly vague, possessive, and pessimistic, often withdrawing into their own private world rather than facing difficulties. Water can be somewhat untruthful, suppressing the truth by words, writing and conduct to damage another. Since Water is by nature emotional, it is prone to become carried away in the heat of a situation. Not normally violent in a physical sense, water does have the tendency to let things build inwardly, often resulting in extreme emotional abuse.
Relationship with Other Signs:
Fire - although water can be attracted to fire signs because of their ardent, passionate character; in general they will eventually find fire signs much too rude, outspoken, and honest to be comfortable with them.
Earth - Water signs are seen as being complementary to the earth signs, who provide them with the stability that they need to develop.
Air - Water signs are supposed to have strong aversity, even hatred, for air signs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FIRE (IGNIS) (DEAS)
Animals: Cats. Predatory creatures, such as the fox. Astral Creatures: Salamander. Dragon. Phoenix. Color: Red. Represents: Energy. Inspiration. Passion. Courage.
The fire signs are termed positive and extroverted, and are supposed to be active, creative, ingenious, dynamic, and highly energetic.
The worst qualities of the fire signs are seen as their tendency to be irresponsible, overbearing, impatient, and boastful to the point of hurting others' feelings. They can prove too much for more sensitive types of people who resist the criticism they can produce. By nature they are emotionally intense and quick to anger if they disapprove, but are also very quick to forgive and not sensitive to criticism.
In relationships, fire signs are generally considered to be extremely outgoing and passionate friends, but typically they are seen as requiring a great deal of love from their partner because of their assertive quality. Though said to be more passionate and committed under the right circumstance than other signs, fire signs are said to be "barren signs", probably because their focus on being center stage or on searching for truth intensely, combined with their often gregarious and friendly nature, means that they may have trouble committing themselves to a lifelong marriage.
Fire's chief fault is deceit. They are determined, spiteful, short-tempered, and vengeful. Fire is straight-forward and has no reservations about hurting the feelings of others... prone to inflict both physical and mental pain.
Relationship With Other Signs:
Water - fire signs supposedly can be attracted to water signs' passion and intensity, but generally find water signs to be too secretive.
Earth - fire signs are supposedly impatient with less extroverted people, especially earth signs, who they believe are extremely manipulative and will smother the fire of life.
Air - air signs are seen by the fire signs as able to provide them with concrete ideas to help them develop their ideals. Because air signs share their gregarious, extroverted quality, fire signs are comfortable with them.

EARTH (TERRA) (TUATH)
Animals: Stag. Boar. Bull. Sow. Bear. Snake. Burrowing animals. Astral Creatures: Satyr/Faun. Gnome/Goblin. Sylvestre/Dryad. Color: Green. Represents: Strength. Abundance. Stability. Patience.
Earth signs are traditionally associated with stability, solidarity, and practicality. They are realistic, cautious, hard-working, and dependable.
At their worst, they are said to be highly materialistic, limited in outlook, and inhibited. They are seen as negative, introverted, and not very sociable, owing to their focus on their own work and goals that tend to move them away from an active social life with others.
Earth signs are the most down-to-earth and reasonable out of all of the signs. They are not easily upset, and are good at using emotional self-control. They are calm, cool and sane- which at times can make them very likeable among others. Earth signs are said to be generally reserved and cautious yet fairly passionate, always committed to friends and partners.
Earth's chief fault is fraud. Earth is not normally prone to physical violence but, as in any given situation, there will be exceptions. Earth is mildly vengeful, liable to hold a grudge and tends to have a "my time will come" attitude. In general. When angered, Earth is quick to express such in a verbal fashion with physical violence being used only as a last resort.
Relationship With Other Elements:
Water - Earth signs are said to be attracted to water signs because the two share qualities of acquisitiveness, retentiveness, and self-protectiveness. The earth signs supposedly feel that the water signs will nourish them, whilst water signs supposedly feel that the earth signs offer them the emotional security they desperately want.
Air - Earth signs supposedly find air signs fascinating because they can be attracted by their strange thoughts and share their intellectual tendencies. However, earth signs supposedly believe air signs to be "up in the clouds" and trying to put forward ideas that never will work in practice.
Fire - Earth signs generally see fire signs as simply too careless and forceful to be of any use.

AIR (AER) (AIRT)
Animals: Birds. Insects. Other flying creatures. Astral Creatures: Not listed. Color: Yellow. Represents: Knowledge. Freedom. Friendship. Expression.
Air signs are the talkers and communicators of the zodiac. Typically they are supposed to be intellectual, analytical, articulate, and versatile – able to discuss just about any topic. Air signs are also seen as the masters of social graces because they enjoy socializing. They are often seen as so objective that they are unable to be practical and realistic.
At worst, air signs are supposed to be so changeable they will not stay anywhere for any length of time, and so restless they have trouble with serious concentration on any single job they might be required to carry out.
In human relationships, air signs are said to be gregarious and extroverted, often attracting friends very willingly and easily with their charm and ability to communicate. However, air signs are believed to be lacking in passion and unable to form strong, lasting relationships; it's believed that few air sign people are able to have a single marriage, for they are said to be as apt to try out new people as new ideas. Air signs are also thought to be extremely lacking in emotional depth.
Air's chief fault is trickery. Air is crafty, underhanded and ingenious when it comes to evil... though not prone to physical violence. At its worst, Air is the epitome of mean-spiritedness and will invariably harbor a grudge. Air is swift to express opinions and is exceedingly opinionated. Air will not hesitate to verbally express anger, but physical violence is not generally a first choice in terms of an attack.
Relationship With Other Elements:
Fire - Air signs are seen as complementary to fire signs because they provide the ideas that allow the fire signs to carry out their action. However, it is often thought that fire signs are too flagrant and impatient for the air signs to tolerate permanently.
Water - Water signs are believed to be much too passionate and emotionally deep for air signs' flighty, flirtatious nature. It's believed that air signs find water signs to be too subjective, secretive, and illogical.
Earth - Air signs are supposed to more or less understand earth signs because they share a basically rational nature. However, whilst air signs are supposed to admire earth signs' will to achieve, they supposedly find them too timid, pessimistic, undemonstrative, and cautious.
