Elements and Astrology

Elements: One of four substances, fire, water, air, and earth formerly regarded as the fundamental constituents of the universe. These four elements represent a basic kind of ENERGY and consciousness that operates within everyone. Each person is consciously more attuned to some types of energy than others. The element of any Sign that is emphasized in a chart (by significant planetary placement within that Sign) * shows a specific type of consciousness and method of perception to which the individual is strongly attuned. The elements are the energy substance of experience.

Earth: reveals an attunement with the world of physical forms and the practical ability to utilize and improve the material world.

Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. People with lots of earth are very practical. They can see how to do and use things. Those with little earth can't be objective, aren't grounded or practical.
