At the moment of your birth, the Sun, Moon, and eight planets were each in certain signs; additionally, a particular sign was rising -- the ascendant. The fire signs are Aries, Leo, Sagittarius; the earth signs Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn; the air signs Gemini, Libra, Aquarius; and, the water signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.
While it is accurate to state that your Sun-Sign depicts your "inner self" and the purposes and goals you are consistently driven to accomplish, it alone does not describe the ways and means you will take to seek their accomplishment, or how you act and react. Furthermore, the ascendant (through which your inner or real self is "filtered" and through which the outer world "looks in" on you) may not accurately represent or reflect your motivation-response profile -- unless it is of the same element as the highest number of natal heavenly bodies in a single element.
Considering there are four elements and ten heavenly bodies, a "perfect" distribution would be 2.5 planets in each element -- an impossibility without actually splitting two planets. Therefore, any number above 2.5 indicates an above-"average" concentration in that element; while fewer than 2.5 denotes a less-than-"average" elemental emphasis.
To use the information following for exploring the elemental profile of your horoscope, count and list the number of heavenly bodies in each element. Fire_____, Earth_____, Air_____, Water_____. (If addding your ascendant's element is necessary to get a clear majority in a single element, do so. Otherwise, disregard the ascendant -- rising sign -- for this exercise.)
After listing the numbers of planets (and ascendant if required), study the explanations below to gain a better understanding of your response profile.
6 air, 4 fire, and 1 earth, counting my air ascendant.
(AIR) 5 or more: You are potentially among the best of communicators, one who's never at a loss for words, ideas -- or opinions. If anyone desires your opinion about anything, they only need to ask. Ideas, solutions, and revelations tend to come easily. It's entirely possible you could allow this inclination to get so far out of control that others might accuse you of being a gossip, someone who cannot be trusted with a secret, or a know-it-all. Try to cooperate with your innovative and creative intellect so you may bring into the world as many useful ideas as possible. You could be in line for very special honors.
(WATER) 0 (none): Your basic capacity for experiencing the emotional aspects of life is practically non-functional, if not non-existent. Any ability to love deeply or accept non-physical love is something you have learned or acquired through experience as the result of marriage, parenting offspring, etc. It's probable you were raised in an environment that was without much overt affection. Because your parents may have seldom, if ever, demonstrated their affection for one another or to you, their example may inhibit you regarding outward demonstrations. For you, love for others (non-family) may require that the relationship include sexual gratification or other rewards that are tangible and "real" -- not just promises or idealistic dreams.
(EARTH) 1 or 2: Being below the earthy "average," the practical, results-producing qualities of your basic nature may work satisfactorily at times relative to certain matters, but may prove inadequate in other, perhaps more important, ones. Therefore, you need to maintain an ongoing vigilance to assure worthwhile, comnon-sense results from all efforts important to success and happiness. While it's true you may not measure progress or success by the amount of money you have in the bank or the quality of your wardrobe, certain obligations -- food, housing, etc., have to be met regularly -- with or without your approval. Keeping accurate records of all material matters will help.
this is true.
