Do you know which element of nature rules your life?

We are all born with a certain birth chart, which is calculated through the date, time and city of birth and through this chart, we can know what kind of karma our soul brings to this period of existence. However, the circumstances that each of us will face will be related to a kind of emotional, mental and physical “programming” that we have. In other words, we get back, what we give, our way of acting and reacting, as something that goes back and forth to its source.

In addition to the 12 archetypes, symbolized by astrological signs, we also bring active and reactive tendencies, ways of expressing our feelings, thoughts and actions, related to the four elements of nature: fire, earth, air and water, and each of them has a different way of expression. The fact that you are from Aries, Lion or Sagittarius, does not necessarily make you a person ruled by the fire element. It all depends on how many planets you have in the fire element on your map. That is, you can have your sun sign in the fire element, but many other planets in water and earth.

There are four elements that rule all of us: fire and air are active and self-expressive (yang/masculine) and water and earth are passive and receptive (yin/feminine). The fire signs are: Aries, Lion and Sagittarius. of air: Twins, Lb and Aquarium. Of land: Bull, Virgin and Capricorn and water: Cancer, Scorpion and Fish.

For you to know which element governs it is simple. Calculate your birth chart in any site to do this calculation, putting your date of birth, time and city. See how many planets are in each sign and count how many are in fire, earth, water and air signs. Only in this way will you be able to know which element governs it. You can have a water sign and be ruled by fire if you have a lot of planets in that element, for example.

What are the characteristics of each element?

Fire

People ruled by fire are easily excitable, enthusiastic and often color the world with their optimism and good humor. They have an energy that flows spontaneously, they are often inspired and self-motivated. They are self-centered, impersonal and tend to feel like channels of life, exuberance and pride. Determined, aggressive, independent, free, objective and direct, fire signs need to develop empathy and sensitivity.

Air

People ruled by the air element are dominated by the world of ideas, of thought. Therefore, they can seem a little cold to the most enthusiastic and emotional. Creative and dreamers, they tend to emphasize theories and concepts. They are compatible with artistic expressions, words and abstract thinking. There is a natural dispassion in people ruled by this element.

Water

People ruled by the water element are in continuous contact with their emotions and feelings and their reactions to life events, they go through the emotional world before they are elaborated. This element represents the realm of deep emotions; that’s why people ruled by water are in touch with subtleties and nuances that the other elements don’t even notice. Empathy is his greatest trait.

Earth

People ruled by the earth element are in constant contact with the physical senses and with the reality of the here and now, of life and the material world. They trust their senses and practical reasoning more than inspiration or abstract thoughts. They are attuned to the world of form, to raw reality. They have great strength and endurance, are determined, objective, realistic and, for this reason, are often considered cold.
