✣ Fire, water, air and earth Elements and Astrological Signs Fire, water, air and earth Elements as we commonly know them are but outwardly manifested forms of the Elements themselves. Their manifestations are as follows: the element of water has magnetic properties; it nurtures and sustains. The element of fire has electrical and creative properties. Air is a detaching element and enables co-existence of the two main elements, fire and water. The element of earth binds fire, water and air in various proportions, which makes possible the formation of materials with different properties. The human organism also contains all four elements. Disruption of the delicate harmony of elements in the human body gives rise to dis-eases, especially by abusing the energy of elements or by blocking it. In fact, there are twelve human natures, which are a mix of the four elements in various proportions and you know them as the twelve signs of the Zodiac. * Earth Signs - Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo: Earth represents the practical, realistic and material side of our nature. It seeks to assert a stable, secure and structured environment into which we can function. Feel the earth under your feet, solid and steady as you walk slowly. Earth is patient and reliable. It is solid and strong. To be on solid ground encourages one to seek the practical and most logical answer to a problem. Earth can be a stabilizing force in a relationship, contributing structure and organization to achieve. The over expression of this element can be seen in a stubborn, rigid personality, one that strives to remain in the comfort zone in life, afraid to take risks. It can also manifest as a love of the material side of life, the comforts of material well-being; material worth can be over emphasized and this can lead to a stressful, worrisome situation. * Water Signs - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces : The element Water is associated with the signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces that influence the conscience and the subconscious forces that act on our lives. The element water pours forth to others. It allows one to feel their pain and suffering and offer sincere compassion. Psychic awareness is also present in the water signs and shows itself from time to time with uncanny accuracy. Water seeks to heal and nurture those around it. Uncontrolled, this element can send emotions on a turbulent path resulting in moodiness and unpredictable highs and lows, like the crest and trough of the waves. Water signs need serenity and calmness, like a gentle flowing river nurturing all in its wake and at the same time leading to the discovery of new paths. Overly expressed, there is tendency to be too emotional, deeply sensitive, and subjective. With too much emotion, depression may result. * Fire Signs - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius; It represents the life force glowing within us. This element projects self-expression, creativity, courage and enthusiasm. Feel the comforting warmth of a fire or heat when you come in from the cold. We need fire to meet the basic need of cooking our food. Fire provides a sense of security, warmth and inspiration that is shared with those around. Fire strengthens self-confidence to tackle problems without hesitation. Without fire, there is no radiance, no conviction, no expression. A spark can light up new ideas, serve as a beacon to light the way to achieve goals with conviction and enthusiasm. An over-expression of fire can turn assertiveness into aggression, daring into reckless behavior and so forth. When fires influence is out of control, it seeks to consume all in its path. * Air Signs - Libra, Gemini and Aquarius: The element Air is associated with the signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. It seeks to establish itself in the realm of the intellect. It is through the process of thinking that we develop ideas. It is through the influence of this element that we learn to communicate. Through air we gain and share knowledge. Air contributes inventiveness, originality and versatility to the personality. It gives that feeling of freedom and unattachment; it reaches out to the mental self. Enjoy that refreshing gentle breeze, allow thoughts to flow freely and nourish the creative moment. Air expresses love of people, the ability to intellectualize, to appreciate the differences in people. Accepting different perspectives, without which, there would be a lack of vision and human interaction. Thoughts are a continual force in our lives. Air is associated with meditation, where deep breathing is essential to reach that level of stillness, energy, and relaxation. Air is used for transport, flying and sailing. Let your thoughts soar to reach your intellectual pursuits and realize your full potential. An over expression of airs influence can be seen as living in a dream world with unrealistic goals and flights of fancy. Air should seek to maintain practicality and develop consistency in dealing with the real world.
