Each element has it own strength in he Zodiac and each has their own contribution to make in the functioning, harmony and balance that is to be achieved. The four elements are fire, earth, air and water. Each element has three zodiacal signs within it the initiator, the fixer and the balancer.
Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are the fire signs and they contribute abundance of energy. They offer the world with zest, enthusiasm and zeal. Energy is dynamic and allow for movement We need energy to accomplish work of any kind. We learn from the fire signs that everything is dynamic and everything is temporary. The negative side of this quality is that fire can be destructive.
Aries generates energy, Leo focuses the energy and Sagittarius controls the energy
Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo is the earth signs and they bring strength. Think of the inner forces that makes it possible to build a bridge. Strengths keep structures in place and ensure order. We learn from earth signs stability. The negative quality of earth is immovability, getting stuck or unable to change.
Capricorn designs strength, Taurus fixates structure and Virgo is the balancing force
Libra, Aquarius and Gemini is the air signs and they bring leverage. Without these air signs we will forfeit being effective and efficient. They provide the lever and the fulcrum to move things and enable action to take place. We learn from the air signs pervasiveness and mindfulness of everything that is and which potentially can be. The negative aspect of air is that ideas may remain ideas and might never be realised in action if there is an obsession with the idea only.
Libra initiates ideas, Aquarius turns ideas into practical solutions and Gemini test and discuss ideas.
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are the water signs and they bring power and longevity. Think of the might of water flowing down the river carving a pathway through bed rock. Such is the power of the water signs. The cleanse and bring transformation over time. Water can not easily be stopped. The negative aspect of the water signs is that they can be relentless in pursuing their goals and not consider others.
Cancer holds water like a dam, Scorpio releases water like the floodgates of a dam and Pisces direct the water’s flow.
The insight of today is to acknowledge what each sign manifest into the world.
Fire – Energy – initiated, fixed and controlled
Earth – Strength – designed, structured and balanced
Air – Leverage – created, solved and tested
Water – Power – held, released an directed
In truth none of these elements is better than the other, each has a role to play and a function to fulfill. True knowledge is to realise that all these elements are manifested in the human body and when they are brought into balance then the process of alchemy begins. The key is to become conscious of each element in each situation and to know when to apply the correct element and in which capacity to apply it.
