Introduction to the Elements
Before you delve into the realm of ancient Neopian astrology, it is useful to have some knowledge of the elements.
There are four basic elements present in nature: Fire, Earth, Water, and Air. The elemental faeries acquire all of their magic from these four basic elements. And because good and evil exists in nature, faeries of Light (good) and Dark (evil) also came to exist. Light faeries acquire their magic directly from the Sun while it is speculated that Dark faeries acquire theirs from the aura (or perhaps the "evil nature") of humans and other living creatures. While faeries of Light strive to maintain life, Dark Faeries seek to destroy it.
Only the most powerful faeries can harness power from more than one element. Fyora the Faerie Queen uses a combination of air & light magic and it is rumored that the Dark Faeries Ilere & Jhudora possess knowledge of earth magic.
More food for thought: Perhaps Fyora was originally an Air Faerie that turned to Light and Ilere & Jhudora are fallen Earth Faeries that turned to Darkness.
Some believe that the world of Neopia would cease to exist without these magical creatures. Each element is needed to keep nature in a perfect balance.
 The winds carry sails across the great sea of water to the edge of the many shores of green land that covers the firey core of Neopia. And yes, it's also true that the Sun is a source of life and Neopia could not exist without its presence. But the people and creatures of Neopia could not sleep without the darkness of night. And so all of these things - air, water, earth, fire, light, and darkness - they are all essential to our survival.  And each element is as important as the next.

Very few Sleepers are famed in the world of Neopia, simply because they keep to themselves. Sleepers are mysterious people who can outwardly appear cold and distant. It is their nature to be reserved when they first meet people. Once you get to know them, however, you will find that they are people worth knowing. Sleepers are wise beyond their years and have a deep and philosophical understanding of the world around them.
Sleepers are pros when it comes to managing their finances. (In fact they are adeptly skilled at anything involving math!) Some of the richest people in Neopia are Sleepers. However, you would never know it since they are secretive about their wealth status! (Go figure!)

Although many Ascenders become well-known for their deeds, they are not huge fans of fame. They tend to have a shyness of the spotlight and may disappear every now and then to escape it. Ascenders are extremely humble people that do not brag or draw attention to their achievements.

The Protector
July 23 - August 21
Element: Light
Color: Gold
Friends: Gladiators, Thieves, Ascenders
Protectors are destined for greatness. They are born leaders with unmatched bravery in battle and their magnetic charm will win over countless followers. But although a Protector may realize his potential early on, he is likely to spend a lifetime endlessly struggling to fulfill his purpose. This is because Protectors are never satisfied with one single deed; they must achieve multiple victories and successes before they will finally feel an ounce of gratification.
The great Protectors of Neopia include remarkable heroes such as King Coltzan III and Jeran, the savior of Meridell. It would seem that people born under this sign live rather charmed lives. For a Protector, victory is never far from reach. Their thirst for power, glory, and honor is the force that drives them through each waking day.

Jerdana the Aisha, King Coltzan III, Princess Sankara, Solarin the Uni, Nightsteed the Uni & Jeran the Lupe

August 22 - September 23
Element: Water
Color: Turquoise
Friends: Sleepers, Hunters, Waves
A person born under the sign of the Gatherer can be best described as having all the intuition of a Wave and the benevolent heart of a Dreamer. In short, they will touch many lives, demonstrate that actions are more powerful than words - and inspire many in the process.
Gatherers will naturally draw in followers but they will also turn them away in a matter of minutes. While they enjoy the company of others, they are extremely modest and will dissuade any form of flattery. They do not feel that they are worthy of such a following and prefer to work alone.
Gatherers are inquisitional. As children, they ask tons of questions - and throughout their lives, they will never cease to question the world around them. They tend to gravitate towards any activity that will present a likely challenge. Guided by their hearts, they will attempt to solve every problem they encounter and succeed - most of the time!

The Thief
November 23 - December 22
Element: Darkness
Color: Black
Friends: Gladiators, Protectors, Sleepers
Thieves are intellectual and cunning people that are extremely in-tune with their senses. The element of darkness makes them rather secretive and so they tend not to reveal too much about themselves. Some thieves even create personas to keep their true identities concealed from the public. Although they enjoy observing the world from afar, they are by no means anti-social! They like to surround themselves with a company of friends and close companions.
Infamous rouges such as Galem Darkhand and Heermeedjet have given the sign of The Thief a bit of a.. well, bad reputation. Although it's true that some thieves live up to their name, a strict sense of honor and virtue will always govern their lives.
Famous Thieves
Kelland the Techo, Galem Darkhand, Heermeedjet the Meerca & Nabile the Ixi
