At birth, a man the sun is in one of 12 zodiac signs. Each sign is a combination of the two energy characteristics: the elements and type of its manifestation.
There are four elements that represent the main types of energy: fire, earth, air and water. Element shows a certain kind of consciousness and the method of direct perception, which set people. Each of the four elements manifests in three forms, which reflect the type of display, the quality and focus of the Elements: cardinal, fixed and mutabelnoy. Since the signs, showing one form or another, are crosswise with respect to each other, then such a division is called the crosses. In Astropsychology crosses symbolize the strategic behavior of the individual. Compliance signs some of the elements and bring the cross in the table:
Each man represented all types of energy. Only one expressed more than others. It depends on the total number of planets, falling into each element. We will consider the element and the cross mark of the sun.
"The element of the solar sign is usually a dominant element in the consideration of overall psychological warehouse person. The element of the sign of the Sun shows a lot of things: it reveals something of what you start. In other words, it shows you where your consciousness is rooted, in what sphere of experience, you set and from a sphere of existence and activity do you find strength. The element of the solar sign also shows that the "real" for a given person, because it is an unconscious assumption that what is real and what is not, determines how people focus their energy. It also determines the most important need of the energy replenishment, since this is the main energy that we are constantly depleted. (S. Arroyo)
ELEMENT OF FIRE
What is the element of fire? This is our life energy, physical activity, will. Fire people - people of action, strength and great faith in himself. They are very active, lively, sometimes aggressive. They are characterized by impulsiveness, enthusiasm and sincerity.
Fire signs are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
The three elements of Fire Signs passes through three stages of development. These stages and cause the presence of three behavioral strategies. First - the stage of nucleation and rapid growth. The cardinal's position. This action is in a certain direction, move toward the target, the initiative. Spokesman for the fire element in the pivotal strategy is Aries. The second stage - the stabilization and strengthening. Fixed position, symbolizing constancy, stability and persistence. Strategy fixed signs will wait and see attitude. And it is the mouthpiece of the sign of Leo. The third stage will be rebirth and transformation. Strategy at this stage will be to adapt to the environment, flexibility, adaptability to circumstances. This position is called mutabelnoy, from the English word "capable of change." And channel the fire element in mutabelnom manifestation is the sign of Sagittarius.
The synthesis of the elements and strategies, we can give a figurative description of the fire element in each sign. I like the description, which gives the AP Maximov A short course of scientific astrology: "The fire of Aries - very hot, scorching. This is a physical fire. The most impulsive." Here and now. "The fire of Leo - is not so hot, it illuminates and warms all around, he is bright, to be seen as a lot of people. The light in the scene. The fire of Sagittarius, it's no longer a fire, a light or hot air over the cooling embers. He did not burn, it does not shine everywhere, he lights the way. Sagittarius in something close to the air in its intellectual orientation. A beam of light from the top (or top).
Now, from a practical point of view - that gives you the knowledge that you or someone close to you, belongs to the fire element?
In terms of personal use you, first of all, get the knowledge of their most important needs of the energy replenishment and most powerful channel for replenishment. Fire signs derive their energy from the sun, fire and physical activity. If you feel tired or are staying in a bad mood, light a candle, when the weather is good - get out in the sun, if possible, go to the gym, fitness club, or just enjoy a some sort of physical activity. In addition, replenishing vital energy and compete successfully against stress and promotes interaction with other people a fiery type. The joint activities you can replenish each other, not applying to this special effort, and getting from this mutual pleasure.
In terms of external application, knowing that your partner belongs to the fire element, will allow you to put NLP terms, to "speak the language of his interlocutor." This will help to relate their expectations with the needs, abilities and aspirations of the interlocutor. Remember that his mind is set to consider all through the prism of the fire element - the active impact on the environment and situation. It does not attempt to impede the initiatives of Aries, it will only irritation. Try to find a productive way to channel his energy in a positive manner. Do not rush the Lion. Remember that it is - the king of beasts and take with respect to its measured actions that will surprise you with constancy, loyalty, generosity and creativity. Do not treat lightly the advice and statements of Sagittarius. You may be annoyed all his desire to generalize and philosophize. But remember that his fire illuminates the path to the goal, he is able to expand your vision of the situation, the necessary action and give you confidence.
"The element of the solar sign identifies the most important need of replenishment of energy, as is the basic energy that we are constantly depleted. We have all heard the expression that the man" is not in his element, "ie, dealing with a sphere of activity which is alien to him true nature. For example, one aircraft type, trying to give up their intellectual needs and to earn a living by working as a laborer, probably will feel like a fish out of water. If this man will not compensate for that participation in social and intellectual activities free from of time, then gradually deplete itself, because its air elements will not be recharged. In other words, the element of the solar sign - is the fuel that a person needs to feel vigorous and healthy, this is our main source of energy, allowing us to replenish their vitality to cope with the stresses and demands of everyday life. Although in theory a person can compensate for the fact that most of the time he spends at work, which feels "like a fish out of water", any person has to find the kind of work that really will fit his poetry, if he wants to satisfy this trade it for a long time. " (S. Arroyo)
ELEMENT EARTH
Earth element - it is our material world, our ability to be "here and now, practicality and realism. People earth elements are reliable and hardworking, all doing a very thorough and always focused on obtaining a specific result. Their toughness and persistence lead to admiration, but the slowness and some cold can cause nervous those with the Earth element is not enough.
Earth signs are Taurus (fixed cross), Virgo (mutabelny cross) and Capricorn (cardinal cross). I will repeat the essence of the position of each of the cross: a cardinal cross - this action in a certain direction, move toward the target, the initiative; fixed - permanence, stability and perseverance, waiting attitude; mutabelny - adaptation to the environment, flexibility, adaptability to circumstances. Ie each of the three signs acts, waits or adapts in the Earth's elements - our material world, the earthly, physical level.
If you are a sign of the earth element, then you need to know about the great power that can give you the land. Touching the ground will tune in because of the growth of trees and plants, to feel part of nature and fill you with tremendous power. Any activity related to the subject of the material world or material values, the use and mastery of natural processes, will feel in his element. If you feel the energy depletion in the first place take care of my body: massage, salt or mud baths, any cleaning salt, masks, scrubs, peels, etc. Work with the body - this is your resource. Any body oriented therapy will help restore power. Physical relaxation, relaxation - it's the first thing you should aim for in stressful situations. But already on the body itself will begin to restore your energy, leading to rectify any situation.
If someone from your surroundings born under the sign of the earth element, remember their instinctive tuning in the material world and its practical use. When interacting with people the earth element is always in mind that they see everything through the lens of practicality, desirability and feasibility of real application. In this case, Taurus - the most opinionated, but also the most patient. Do not try to alter it. He can long remain silent about their discontent, avoiding conflict, but eventually it will surprise you by force, which will fight back when his patience will come to an end. Virgin will be able to adapt to any situation and learn from them the benefit for themselves. On the one hand, they are accommodating and chief executive, but, on the other hand, the high demands on himself and to others makes them sometimes to be too critical and grouchy. If you calmly react to their comments or harassed, we can extract substantial benefits for themselves in dealing with them because of their analytical mind and ability to soberly assess the situation. When communicating with Capricorn, remember that a foreign dryness may be hiding unmanifested sensitivity. They do not want to let into their inner world. Let them know that they are willing to share with them any feelings, but do not break the established borders. Learn from them dedication, independence, ability to plan their actions and cut off all unnecessary.
ELEMENT AIR
The element of air - this is intelligence, communication, exchange of information, abstract thinking. By air elements include Gemini (mutabelny cross), Libra (cardinal) and Aquarius (fixed). People aerial elements are easy-going, highly mobile, have a lively mind. Quickly grasp everything, but rarely something to remember for a long time. Sociable, adaptable to new ideas and people, but not always disciplined. If you are a air sign, you should know that the main sources of energy for you is the fresh air. During the holidays you better have a rest in the mountains or woods. This will help to energize a few months ahead. Ideally, of course, to live in such areas, but it is not always possible. If you live in the city, walking in parks, field trips out of town at the weekend to help recover after a work week. A great way to relieve stress and clean energy are breathing exercises. Give them at least a few minutes a day - and you contact the resource for you the elements. Feel the surge of forces will also help communication with people such as air. In general, any communication, and the collection and exchange of information - this is the best resource for you in a crisis.
If someone in your family belongs to an air sign, then, on the one hand, you should be patient, because their peculiar ease excessive rationalism and lack of emotional depth often cause irritation. On the other hand, you get an excellent opportunity to use the intellectual resources of your partner, to expand their own knowledge in a particular area. In this case, do not expect Gemini permanence and not criticized for unreliability. Useless. Better listen to what he says - but they say a lot of twins - and you will find many interesting and useful things about yourself and the world. Do not make a representative Libra engaged in heavy physical work or any activity that requires mindless application of forces. Their sophistication will not accept. Libra - perfect partners. Their commitment and flexibility will help you to see a new purpose in life. The unpredictability of freedom and Aquarius in a relationship can create the feeling that you're sitting on a powder keg. To some extent this is indeed the case. However, in Vodoleyskom quest for novelty is a plus. Their ability to generate new ideas and perseverance to achieve them must go, and you benefit, because Aquarians are always concerned about friends and loved ones.
ELEMENT WATER
Water element - it is our emotional, intuitive, sensitive. "Water signs are in touch with their feelings, they are tuned to the subtleties and nuances that other people do not even notice. The water element represents the scope of deep emotions and emotional reactions, ranging from forced passion and overwhelming fear to embracing the love of the cosmos" (p. Arroyo).
Water signs are usually vulnerable to insults and have a strong need for security. "However, the sensitivity of water signs should not be considered weak, as water has tremendous power and penetrating ability, especially if it is purposefully directed in the right direction" (S. Arroyo). To include elements of Water Cancer (a cardinal cross), Scorpio (fixed) and Fish (mutabelny).
The main sources of energy for these signs is water, especially flowing. The best pastime is hiking trip to the river, lake, sea or ocean. This will positively affect the physical, emotional and mental state. Those who belong to the watermark, the state of stress it is best to shoot with a cool shower. If this is not possible, then at least just a wash, or wait for running water. It will take away the negative emotions. And always remember that intuition - it is your most powerful resource.
If someone from your family belongs to a water sign, try to be tolerant of their resentment. Because of their sensitivity and empathy can offer you significant support in difficult times, and intuitive prompt exit from the crisis better than any long-term thinking. Provide a sense of security cancers, and they will help create a center where you will pull all his life. Skorpionskaya authoritativeness and the desire to possess are often overwhelming for others. However, their emotional intensity, sexuality and magnetism makes them so attractive, often many do not even occur to resist their influence. Fish his reverie, and the impracticality can, of course, you create problems, but intuition, spirituality and the ability to love them not to beat. Open them love - and their shortcomings will leave you in the background.
