We are elementally governed by the placement of the planets in our solar system. Specifically when we are born the snapshot of the sky indicates in what Zodiac sign these planets fall in. Each Zodiac sign carries only one of the four possible elements, Air, Water, Fire or Earth that they bring into the mix as follows:
AIR ELEMENT
Aquarius – Gemini – Libra = Air/Nitrogen – Thought
Spontaneous, Light, Crisp, Upward, Bright, Disconnected, Brilliant, Free, Random,
Buoyant, Fresh, Upbeat
yin/yang
WATER ELEMENT
Pisces – Cancer – Scorpio are Water/Oxygen – Emotions/Feelings
Steady, Relaxed, Blended, Flowing, Connected, Soft, Fluid, Easy, Comfortable, Subtle, Muted, Inviting.
yin
FIRE ELEMENT
Aries – Leo – Sagittarius are Fire/Hydrogen – Life Energy
Angular, Reactive, Rich, Sure, Active, Dynamic, Substantial, Textured, Swift, Ferocious
yang
EARTH ELEMENT
Taurus – Virgo – Capricorn are Earth/Carbon – Physical
Constant, Still, Bold, Clean, Simple, Structured, Regal, Clear, Precise, Reflective, High Contrast, Keen.
yin/yang
If your planets are pretty spread out then you are lucky and you carry a balanced disposition elementally. If on the other hand you are concentrated in one element like me, I have 5 planets in Air signs, so I have strong attributes of the element of Air. Making life very interesting, especially once i understood what my elemental essence was. Spontaneous, Light, Crisp, Upward, Bright, Disconnected, Brilliant, Free, Random, Buoyant, Fresh, Upbeat.
