3) Of all 4 elements they are the exact opposites!
4) Which is the best combination of elements?

1)Depends on the person and the situation to determine if fire or water is more strong.
2)Fire scares (and excites) me.
3)I think I'm more conflicting with air signs... I seem to be more opposite with aquarius, but then again, what sign isn't?
4)The best combinations of the elements are with themselves. However, in my cloud dreams, I like to think opposites attract and therefore I choose air/water. Two very essentional items to the beginnings of life. (but fire and earth are great at sustaining it as well)
5)what virgo said

Best combination is always within the same group and their polar opposites.
Powerful in what sense— which signs are you comparing? Though best combination is within same group, people getting attracted to the wrong person is quite common. I guess its a trouble in identifying ones needs vs going for his/her wants.

Air and Earth goes opposite most times in their methods and thoughts but still can be real friendly.

1) Which of the two elements is stronger?

Fire exist outside of a planet. It exist within the universe. Water only exist within a planet. There is can be no water without fire. Fire is essential for water, but water is not essential for fire.

Fire is pure oxygen (O2). Water is oxygen + hydrogen. Water is more evolved form of fire. However, water also includes hydrogen which is:

1) Fuel of sun (the most firesome object)

2) It is used for nuclear reactions.

Therefore, water includes fire. But special connection of hydrogen and oxygen creates water which is source of life.

(1) Fire speaks for itself
(2) flames require ignition..water is its own direction
(3) no schitt
(4) i assume u mean in terms of relations...id say fire and earth completely compliment one another.. even in elemental combat together these two would prove formidable opponents
(5)without earth.. fire has no grounds..lol no pun intended

so the best combination to have in ones chart is a combination of all the elements? more fire? more water? more air? DOes that actually play a role? If a person's stongest elements in the chart are air and fire... what does it mean?

How do you dissolve water anyway? Water disolves things, fire evaporates water or at least jigs it up a bit, earth gives water something tangable to cling to and merge with to form a gooey mud type thing, air just creats a sandstorm with earth, getting in everybody's eyes, earth basically stifles air so that it needs to burrow through it to get out in the open. Fire makes air go even higher into the atmosphere and conversely air makes fire's flame rise higher.

MellowDee is a piece of fart

How can I NOT understand this? You are trying to insult her by associating her with an action that is detestable in polite society. You believe farting is bad enough to bring insult.

Here's what happens....fire makes the water boil, the water bubbles over and extinguishes the fire....and neither fire nor water are the same again- each half of what they were before.
