The four elements have long guided realms of Spirituality, Astrology, Tarot, and modern Science. In this post I want to inspire you to learn about how the properties of each element guide and inspire you life, and how to harness the energy of them to facilitate growth and balance. #BestLife
Just like our beautiful World, we are each made up of the elements. Every person has a unique blend of each element within them, some may be guided more by one element than another.
Whatever element you are guided by, you have a bit of all of them within you. Discover your ruling element and the powers that lie within it!

Astrology and the Elements
In Astrology, each sign is governed by a specific element and it lends to the characteristics of that sign. Fire is the first element in the Zodiac with Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Then come Earth element with Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Next is Air with Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. And the last element is Water with Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. If you have read your natal chart, you know you have many different signs in different Houses and Planets that make up your specific life and personality.
For example, my Sun Sign (arguably the most important planetary placement) is in Sagittarius, so I have a lot of fire properties governing my life. And in my First House is Jupiter in Leo (also fire, also an important House of Personality). Along with this though, my Rising Sign is a Water element, and my Moon Sign is an Earth element (learn about your rising and moon sign here). So my three most important signs are all different elements, but in total I have Seven Earth Placements out of eleven! Wow, anyone confused?
-You can see how unique all our our placements can get!
-Simple step one, is looking at what element your Sun Sign is
-Take it to the next level and count up how many of each elements you have in your chart
Viola! That might give you a peek as to what element is more present in your life

Your Elemental Power Applied
Each element has a specific role in life, on the Earth. We need a balance of all of them or we become off kilter and things start to go awry. In the description of each element you can see both helpful and unhelpful qualities; so it can be especially important to learn how to incorporate other elements and their qualities in your life.
Your weaknesses are also your strengths
Your strengths are also your weaknesses.
It goes both ways.
Use your dominating element to direct your Life's Purpose
If you're guided by Fire, you are meant to Inspire
If you're guided by Earth, you are meant to Guide
If you're guided by Air, you are meant to Stimulate
If you're guided by Water, you are meant to Care
Strengthen the Elements
(read this post about how to balance each of the chakras mentioned below)
Fire
If you want more Fire energy (passion, inspiration) in your life, try Blessings Spray or Love Elixir roll on. Work on your Sacral and Crown Chakra and try a Visualization or Walking Meditation. Go outside or light a candle and watch the fire dance, feel the warmth and the power; think about how fire changes things in an instant.
Earth
If you want more Earth energy (balance, stability) try Good Juju Spray or Zen Master roll on. Work on your Root Chakra and try a Grounding Mindfulness meditation, such as counting breaths or heartbeats. Go outside, touch the trees and hug them; think about how the Earth supports us all with strength and comfort.
Air
Work on your Solar Plexus and Throat Chakra and try a Visualization Meditation by creating conversations and interactions in your mind's eye. Go outside and feel for a breeze on your skin, or better yet, exhale all your stale air, and inhale as deep as you can; think about how Air is necessary for life and is all around, sometimes invisible.
Water
If you want more Water energy (caring and nurturing) try Love is in the Air Spray or Mellow Mix roll on. Work on your Heart and Third Eye Chakra and try a Loving Kindness Meditation. Take a bath in hot water, feel the relaxation of being submerged and somehow safe. Find your closest river, lake, ocean and listen to the ebb and flow while thinking about the depths water can go and the strength of its persistence.
Remember friends,
A balance of all the elements are necessary for life.
Working with certain elements can benefit you in you Life Path and Manifestation Journey
So can Reiki
Many Blessings,
