Chapter 1: General Characteristics
Your fundamental needs, values, and orientation towards
life are symbolized by the four astrological elements. Each
person has their own unique balance of these four basic
energies: fire (warmth, inspiration, enthusiasm), earth
(practicality, realism, material interests), air (social and
intellectual qualities), and water (emotional needs and
feelings).
Your "elemental make-up" is described below. Remember that
most people are "unbalanced" or lopsided, and if you are lacking
or deficient in a certain element (or elements), it simply means
that you need to consciously develop that aspect of yourself to
learn to appreciate and/or to work harder in that dimension of
life.
Sometimes we overvalue the element that we are least endowed
with, sensing it as a lack within ourselves, but more often we
neglect or ignore it. The qualities described below will be
reiterated and explained in more detail in the following
chapters.
You have a great capacity to relate to, appreciate, and
understand different people and points of view, and you tend to
be quite liberal in your attitudes. You are primarily a thinking
person who requires much intellectual and social stimulation,
conversation, and interaction. You comprehend abstract reasoning
and concepts very quickly and like ideas, language, and culture.
You can't imagine being happy in a world without books, films,
or interesting companions.
There is an androgynous quality to you, and you relate
equally well to men and women, having both male and female
characteristics in nearly equal measure yourself. You tend to
see someone as a person first, rather than identifying them
solely with their gender.
Friendship is very important to your sense of well-being.
You thrive on camaraderie, teamwork, social participation and
sharing. However, you are also quite objective about them and
there is often a touch of impersonality or detachment to your
relations with others.
Your mind is your real gift: thinking clearly, logically,
and creatively, planning and organizing efficiently, and
communicating intelligently. However, you tend to live in your
head - reading about, talking about, and observing life without
becoming completely immersed in it. Avoid becoming a dabbler.
You need to develop constancy, stability, and depth.
Fortunately, as you will read in the next chapter, you have
a down-to-earth attitude towards life which prevents you from
becoming lost in your airy ideas, concepts, or ideals. You have
a healthy touch of practicality.
