Element

Elementet Luft är associerad med tecken Tvillingarna, Vågen. och Vattumannen. Den syftar till att
etablera sig i området för intellektet. Det är genom processen att tro att vi
utveckla idéer. Det är genom påverkan av detta element som vi lär oss att kommunicera.
Genom luften vi vinna och dela kunskap.

Luft bidrar uppfinningsrikedom, originalitet och mångsidighet till personligheten. Det ger den känslan
frihet, unattachment når ut till mentaljag. Njut den uppfriskande lätt bris,
låta tankarna flöda fritt och ge näring åt den kreativa ögonblick. Luft uttrycker kärlek till människor,
förmågan att intellektualisera, att uppskatta skillnaderna i folk, acceptera olika perspektiv,
utan vilken skulle det finnas en brist på visioner och brist på mänsklig interaktion.

Våra tankar är en ständig kraft i våra liv. Det assoiated med meditation där djupt
andning är avgörande för att denna nivå av stillhet, energi och avkoppling. Luft används för
transport, flygande och segling. Låt våra tankar sväva att nå våra intellektuella sysselsättningar.

En över uttryck av luft inflytande kan ses som att leva i en drömvärld med orealistiska
mål och flygningar av fantasi. Luft bör sträva efter att upprätthålla praktiska och utveckla konsekvens
i hanteringen av den verkliga världen.

Svaghet i denna del: brist på känslor, depression, brist på samband med högre
själv, överaktiv sinne som blockerar inre frid och harmoni.



The Four Elements of Air, Fire, Water and Earth describe the four unique personality 
types associated with a sign of the zodiac. The elements exhibit profound influence 
on basic character traits, behaviour, emotions and needs. Some consider these traits 
too general, but these are reflected in our emotions, our relationships,and our ambitions 
or lack thereof, the unexpected turns and twists that add spice to our lives.

How often have we heard these words:I need some air; Oh for the Sun to shine; a 
relaxing soak in the tub; walk in the woods, or sit in the park. What is the most popular 
motivation for a holiday? Sunbathing, swimming, touring and walking, and lots of 
outdoor activities.

Astrology aims to help us focus these energies to the positive aspects, gain a better
understanding of our positive traits and deal with the negative ones; thus realize our 
full potential and give our best to this life. To my mind, to deny these is to deny life and 
destiny.After all, basically, we all need air to breathe, water to sustain our growth and to 
cleanse us, fire to shelter us from the cold and nourish us, earth to live on together 
with all the living things on it,and to grow our food.

Earth
 Astrology: Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo
 Tarot: Pentacles, Disks,
Jung: sensation

Feel the Earth under our feet, the soil that sustains all forms of life, look at the power
and beauty of the mountains, a symbol of stability and solidity of the earth. Everyday we 
experience the physical world, we walk on this earth, enjoy the beauty and bounty of
Mother Earth and feel the comfort of being on solid ground. Take a walk, walk slowly 
and feel the earth under your feet, solid and steady. Associated with the signs Taurus, 
Capricorn and Virgo, Earth represent the practical, realistic material side of our nature, 
it seeks to assert a stable, secure, structured environment into which we can function.

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 balance and harmony. 
Earth sustains growth- watch plant life grow, from an acorn does an oak tree grow; so does 
man grow from youth to maturity, and realize the immense growth in every facet of life.

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 be seen by 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.

Weakness: attachment, stinginess, materialism, resists change, too much attention to detail 
and miss the big picture.

Air
Astrology: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Tarot: Swords
Jung: Thinking

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, 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, accept different perspectives,
without which, there would be a lack of vision and lack of human interaction.
 
Our thoughts are a continual force in our lives. It is assoiated 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 our thoughts soar to reach our intellectual pursuits.

An over expression of air's 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.

Weakness of this element : lack of emotion, depression, lack of connection with the higher 
self, overactive mind that blocks inner peace and harmony.

 Fire 
Astrology: Leo, Sagittarius, Aries
Tarot: Wand, Spears
Jung: Intuition 

The signs Leo,Sagittarius and Aries are associated with the element Fire. 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 t 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.

From a spark , great ideas could be lit, 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. With this in mind we see that fire's influence, when out of control 
seeks to consume all in it's path.

Weakness: lack of interest, egotistic, excessive 
self-centeredness, self- importance. 

Water
Astrology: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Tarot: Cups
 Jung: Feelings/Emotion

The element Water associated with the signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces influences 
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. However uncontrolled, it can send emotions on a turbulent path resulting in moodiness 
and unpredictable highs and lows, like the drest 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.

When this element is over expressed, one may tend to be overly emotional, deeply sensitive
and subjective.With too much emotion,possible depression may result.

Weakness can result from being too protective  and possessive of their loved ones.Cold 
attitude  and lack of drive may also be a weakness of this element.

A Balance of the Elements
The best combination of each element type of 
personality strives to create a balance of these
lemental aspects of each, thereby resulting in
relationship that thrives on mutual growth 
and harmony.

Air-fire
Earth-Water
The element air in a relationship provides ideas and dreams that Fire can act on and 
forge into realities. The element water provides sensitivity and nurturing to the sometimes 
cold reserved earthly approach to matters, thereby laying the groundwork for future growth 
in the relationship

At the same time remember in a fire/ water relationship balance can be achieved by 
realizing that water can inject needed sensitivity and patience into the fire sign. and at the 
same time Fire can add drive and the courage to act that can be sometimes lacking in 
the water signs.

When two elements of the same type combine, harmony can be achieved when the needs 
and traits are the same for both the individuals. However, it hinders growth both individuals 
may become too comfortable staying at the point they are at and the needed spark for growth 
may be lacking.

In a Fire/Earth combination we find that fire's initiative and drive can stimulate the sometimes
laid back and reserved nature of Earth. At the same time ,Earth's practicality and discipline 
can be balancing to fire's sometimes quick to act ways.

Ideally we should strive for a balance of the elements Earth/Water and Air /fire.

The other combinations can also work as long as both partners respect the others needs 
and unique traits that both bring into the relationship and they utilize each others 
strengths to balance.
