Not sure I understand the question.

I did mine earlier today! it took me a while to find a method and found the exact same one. A little tricky to decipher for me since I don't know much about Astrology.

My ruling planet is Jupiter

My dominant element is Fire

My dominant sign is Saggitarius

I'm an Aquarius. I still have trouble understanding how all these come together..

Wow, I'm responding to this WAY late, I'm sorry. Your dominant planets, energy, etc is a cumulative of the energy in your chart. So while you may be an Aquarius, you may have some feelings and tendencies that more akin to a fire sign or a Sagittarius. Question, is your Jupiter in Sagittarius?

If you're very low on an element, you may even overcompensate and act MORE like the element you are missing.

For example in my chart my dominant energies are fairly evenly distributed. My most dominant signs are Pisces then Sagittarius/Libra. So my Pisces being in my dominant planet of Jupiter gets a significant boost (which also boosts my mutable energy and water element). Then because I have several key placements in Sagittarius and Libra, those signs are boosted as well.

Likewise I have more mutable energy in my chart, then cardinal, then fixed. This is because my energies in Taurus and Aquarius are VERY low while my Scorpio and Leo energy are medium to high. My dominant element is water, then fire, then earth/air on the low end.

So because I'm a little low on earth and air, I naturally compensate for the lack of those energies. If you met me as a kid you would be able to see the dominant water and fire energy easily. However as I matured I adapted, utilizing my high Libra and medium Virgo/Capricorn energies to pick up more air and earth qualities. Therefore I can appear to be more logical and stoic, but internally I'm still fueled by passion and emotion.

Since my dominant planet is Jupiter, this placement will influence my personality too. I'm still very much a Leo Sun, Virgo Moon etc, but my attitude and approach will be different than someone with the same placements who have a different dominant planets/energies/etc.

dominant signs - cap and then pisces

I was thinking the opposite actually because how would you act like the element you are missing if you don't have this energy in the first place ? And i think it's not possible to compensate too because how would you behave like your missing element if you don't know how it feels ? how it works ?

However i agree that you can compensate if all your energies are fairly shared between these elements like you have but not if you lack one completely

Human beings compensate and overcompensate all of the time. A person can lose an entire hemisphere of their brain and continue to function with almost minimal issue. The energy that a person lacks could be learned and therefore mimicked. Astrology can demonstrate how a person interacts with the world, but it does not dictate the person's entire identity.

For a more astrological explanation, remember that character traits are generally shared between numerous signs. It's tue that a person who lacks air energy may easily be more emotional and less cerebral. However depending on their placements (lets say a combination of Sagittarius and Virgo for example), that person may still be able to draw on those energies to appear logical, witty, and cerebral as if they had more air in thier chart.

I agree that this is easier to do for some people rather than others. A person who has mostly air placements may have a hard time mimicking earth traits. I do think though that traits can be learned and mimicked with practiced if there is a need for it.

Since there's been a lot of talk about the Pullen chart in the last few months, here is an easier route to this same chart: https://www.astro.com/cgi/genchart.cgi?&lang=e&gm=pu

OR

1. Go to Astro.com. Under the "Free Horoscope" tab select Extended Chart Selection in the

"Drawings & Calculations section".

2. Make sure to enter your birth information for any of these charts. Then choose Pullen/Astrolog

3. Under "Chart Type" select Simple chart delineation by Walter Pullen and click "Click here to show the chart"

4. Scroll down the chart until you see sections:

Planet: Position Aspects Total Rank Percent

AND

Sign: Power Rank Percent - Element Power Percent

(Also shameless bump)

Thank you!
