Elements-WE.jpg Elements combination: Water Earth

Dominant Water, Earth, No Fire or Air

With dominant Water energy in your personality, you are compassionate, emotional and intuitive. You are highly empathic and sensitive and can easily become overwhelmed by the energies and emotions of others. Your decisions and goals are based on your desire for emotional security and connection with others. Romance, relationships and family are important to you.

Earth is your next prevalent element and this adds to the nurturing side of your personality. You strive to create emotional and physical comfort and security for others. You can be practical and grounded and this helps you to balance your sometimes intense feelings. You are led by emotion but easily transmute this energy into manifesting what you value.

Your career is likely to relate to your compassion and desire to heal others emotionally. You look for security through amassing material items that give the illusion of reassurance. Whether it is money, clothes, jewelry or other resources, you feel more secure when you are surrounded by your creature comforts. You may also look to food and cooking to nurture others and yourself.

The absence of Fire element in your makeup can keep you from getting swept away with intense passions and prevent you from becoming quick to anger. On the other hand your motivation is likely to be slowed down. You are compelled to act based on the desire to connect emotionally and create security but your pace is gradual and you aren’t rushed into decisions.

You may also have a hard time focusing when you need to. Rather than committing to one course of action and sticking with it when obstacles arise, you may go with the flow and shift directions when things become difficult.

You don’t easily assert your confidence and while you are not a domineering person you also may let others set the tone for your relationships. On the other hand, your secondary element being Earth helps to keep you grounded and stable so that you don’t let others overstep your boundaries.

The absence of Air and prevalence of Earth can make you inflexible at times especially when it comes to ideas and intellect. Your flexibility and adaptability comes instead from empathy and emotions and not from philosophical tendencies. You don’t like intellectual tasks and trust your intuition more than your memory or cognition.

You may have a hard time communicating with others and it is difficult for you to understand those whose mindset is different from your own. You can be creative but prefer creative interests that have a practical outcome rather than exercises in abstract thinking or expression.

Dominant Water, Earth, Air, No Fire

Dominant Water element in your chart gives emphasis to emotional, nurturing and intuitive abilities. Relationships are the most important aspect of your life. You are highly sensitive and empathic and your decisions are made based on not only what you want but also on what is best for friends, family, lovers and those around you.

Earth element backs up your Watery nature providing an additional emphasis on nurturing and seeking security. In addition to emotional security, financial stability is important to you. You are motivated to work in careers that bring healing either emotionally, physically or both.

You are also patient and grounded and when you make a commitment you are dedicated until the end. Even when others lose interest or change course you come through on your promises. You can be a traditionalist and change is something you avoid whenever possible.

You may not stray far from your roots in terms of practices, routines and even geographic location. Even though you easily attract abundance you believe your harvest is meant to be shared with others and you make this a priority.

Air is a significant aspect of your elemental makeup as well and as a result you are intelligent, diplomatic and expressive. You can be mentally flexible and concerned with learning new things though you are more likely to examine the world in abstract ways and learn about different ideas yet follow the same routines and not rock the boat too much.

The absence of Fire in your chart speaks to low initiative and lack of confidence and assertiveness. Earth helps to make up for this to some degree as you respect and value yourself but you aren’t likely to push through challenges or confront obstacles head on. Instead you may dig in your heels and wait for others to conform to your wishes or simply procrastinate rather than taking the lead and inviting change.

You avoid anger and controversy as well trying hard to make sure everyone feels secure and cared for but not always setting boundaries or limits with others.

The Air element is absent in your chart and as a result you are not primarily intellectual or academic in your approach to life. This is not to say that you are not intelligent, but simply that your motivation is not to gain information for the sake of being a wealth of knowledge on any subject.
