Elements-WF.jpg Elements combination: Water Fire

Dominant Water, Fire, No Air, No Earth

Dominant Water element in your chart gives you heightened intuition and sensitivity. You are compassionate, nurturing and sensitive. You care deeply about others and are motivated by emotional connection in relationships and the desire for emotional security.

Your intuitive and emotional nature is easily balanced by your secondary element, Fire. You can focus and find your drive for change and assertiveness even though it may be outside of your comfort zone to do so. You can be protective of those you love and can channel your motivation to be an advocate for others.

You have strong romantic and sexual energy and can be attractive to others because you are compassionate, nurturing and exciting. You can be flexible when it comes to empathizing with others and are quick to act when a change of course is needed.

The absence of Air in your chart speaks to difficulty being mentally adaptive. You act on instinct, intuition and impulse and incorporating intellectual information or strategies is an uncomfortable stretch for you.

You may be less trusting of data and facts than you are of your intuition and motivation. It is hard for you to understand others’ perspectives even though you may be able to sense their emotions and this can lead you to become confused.

Communication as a two way street can be difficult for you. You may assume that you know what others are thinking without being open to the cues they are giving you. You may also try too hard to protect others’ feelings and avoid certain conversations.

The absence of Earth in your chart makes it difficult for you to ground yourself. You see practical details as boring and tedious and are more motivated by emotion, relationships and passion than by budgets, income and resources.

You may mismanage money or resources because attention to details in these practical areas is just not a priority for you. It isn’t exciting or emotionally charged so you may overlook important steps in securing your resources.

You may also be impatient and it can be hard for you to slow down. Any work that doesn’t appeal to your emotions and passions will bore you and you will move on in search of more meaningful vocation.

Elements combination: Water Fire Earth

Dominant Water, Secondary Fire, Tertiary Earth, No Air

Water is dominant in your chart and as a result you are emotional, sensitive, intuitive and compassionate. You value relationships and may even define yourself by your connections to others.

You are sensitive and emotionally motivated. You care about others and want to make sure others feel emotionally secure. You are also likely to be ruled by your changing moods and this can make you feel overwhelmed and ungrounded.

You have a strong sense of willpower yet you may base your actions and decisions not on logic and study but on your mood one moment to the next. As a result you may constantly feel like you are flowing in different directions.

You may also feel overwhelmed by the intensity of your passions and emotions and can be quick to anger though also quick to release the powerful emotions and move on. You are excitable and can be sexually attractive and romantic.

Earth is your third most prominent element and this helps you to stay grounded. You can be easily swayed by emotion and desire though Earth helps counter this albeit in small ways. When it comes to career, money and financial stability you can find ways to slow yourself down and persevere rather than burning out because of your intensity.

You want stability though you may have to learn how to cope with your own emotions and handle relationships differently in order to accomplish this.

The lack of Air in your chart gives you a tendency to draw on information from intuitive sources and anecdotal stories rather than academic study. You may not entirely trust philosophy and abstract thought. You seek studies and information that will help you heal your emotions or improve your relationships or you seek to learn about topics that are emotionally charged for you.

Aside from that you aren’t interested in amassing information just for the sake of being a walking encyclopedia. You also communicate in emotional ways and don’t easily express yourself diplomatically. Instead you may take things personally or feel slighted easily but not know how to speak up until you are overcome by emotions. You may also be quick to anger or feel resentful but not know how to communicate your emotions or needs.

It is difficult for you to take the perspective of others intellectually although you are emotionally empathic. You may pick up on emotional signals from others only to misinterpret these cues and come to incorrect conclusions about others’ intentions.

Work is something you do to care for and support those you love and to create security, not something you do for status or because you love money for its own sake.
