Once upon a time, our ancestors, who lived in ancient times, determined that the basis of all things are four elements: the element of Fire, the element of Earth, the element of Air and the element of Water. An element is a dominant element that has the most direct influence on health, relationships, career and many other important life aspects of an individual. Almost all experts say that the elements are the foundation on which a person can build his life! If an individual does not know anything about his element, then it will be quite difficult for him to achieve even minimal success in any areas of life!
Why? The thing is that it is the elements that determine the main advantages, characteristics and disadvantages of a person, his priorities, views on certain important issues and trends in personal development. And if you recognize not only your element, but also the element of your loved one, then building a trusting and strong relationship with him will be much easier, since you will know in advance what to expect from this relationship.
Every person living on planet Earth belongs to one or several elements. Some people can determine the element using intuition, but not everyone succeeds. If internal sensations do not allow you to do this, then you should turn to external signs for help and find out your element by the year and time of birth, by your zodiac sign, by Feng Shui and by tarot cards.
You should not be embarrassed or worried if you find out that you have not one, but two or three elements, because a pure substance is very rarely found in nature, since it almost always contains certain impurities. An ideal and balanced personality, according to Chinese astrologers, is precisely the personality that combines the best qualities of two or three elements!
How to find out your element? Having the necessary knowledge, this is quite easy to do. After reading the useful, important and valuable information that we are happy to share with you in this article, you will not only learn to easily and quickly determine your element and the elements of other people, but also expand your knowledge about the elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth!

Dragon, Monkey and Rat are representatives of the element of Fire
The element of Fire includes people born in the year of the Dragon, Rat and Monkey. They, like an open and not always controlled flame, sometimes burn painfully, and sometimes they gently, delicately and very carefully warm with their own warmth. These smart, attractive and determined people sometimes give the impression of being calm and calm modest people, but inside them there is a raging volcano of emotions, which at any moment (not always the most appropriate) can burst out!
People who belong to the Fire element are very hot-tempered and have a pronounced choleric type of temperament. In any area of life, they try to achieve maximum results, but only if they believe in themselves and their strengths. Without faith, people of the element of Fire not only do not move up the career ladder, but also cannot find their soulmate and create a full-fledged family. People born in the year of the Fire element understand love issues much better than representatives of other elements.
The element of Fire combines best with the element of Earth, and worst of all with the element of Water.
Snake, Rooster and Bull - representatives of the elements of Earth
The elements of Earth include those people who were born in the year of the Snake, Rooster and Bull. They are very wise, logical, prudent, disciplined and cautious individuals. They give practical and correct advice, but only to those people they really care about and really love. Representatives of the Earth element often experience self-doubt, and therefore tend to inflate big problems out of minor details.
People of the Earth element are very frightened by the unknown. They often become depressed and have doubts about everything. Individuals born in the year of the Earth do not like to be in the center of everyone's attention and never demonstrate to other people their superiority in anything.
The element of Earth is best combined with the element of Air, and worst of all - with the element of Water.
Horse, Dog and Tiger are representatives of the Air element
The element of Air includes people born in the year of the Horse, Dog and Tiger. They are quite generous, wise, open people who love to experiment and try something new. Representatives of the Air element will never refuse to help if they see that a person really needs their support.
Almost all people born in the year of Air grow up very early and begin to lead an independent life. They don’t like it when someone actively and shamelessly barges into their personal space and tries to establish their own rules there.
Representatives of the Air element love to explore the world, so they often travel and create families with people living in other countries. Some of them, over time, begin to manipulate those close to them and use their charisma for personal gain.
The element of Air is best combined with the element of Water, and worst of all - with the element of Fire.
Goat, Pig and Cat – representatives of the element of Water
The element of Water includes those people who were born in the year of the Goat, Pig and Cat. They are very attentive, friendly, kind and tactful people who know how to find a common language with almost any interlocutor. That is why representatives of the Water element always have many friends to whom they can turn for help if a critical situation suddenly arises.
Water symbolizes creativity and art, so people born in the year of Water love to turn the most incredible ideas into reality. They are not afraid to study and learn something new. Foreign languages are easy for such people.
Representatives of the element of Water are excellent at keeping not only their own secrets, but also the secrets of other people, therefore they enjoy the respect and trust of others. Individuals born in the Water Year are well versed in the intricacies of psychology, therefore they know how to skillfully manipulate other people and win them over to their side in any dispute.
The element of Water is best combined with the element of Fire, and worst of all - with the element of Earth.
Lack of Air
Too little air element, on the other hand, creates a condition where there is not enough air to ventilate the cellular structure. And since the cells stick together, they become unable to replenish or detoxify to maintain their existence. In ascension this leads to more decay rather than restoration.
The solution is to learn to breathe deeply while walking or swimming. Shallow breathing has become characteristic of modern man. At the same time, everyone moves with consciousness into the past or into the future and enters a fictional reality (the reality of fantasy). To step out of your fantasy and connect with your soul and ground yourself to the Earth, inhale deeply, or take several deep breaths in a row, or go for a walk, inhaling for every two steps and exhaling for the next two. This practice brings about significant alignment with Mother Earth, bringing you into the present time and also engaging the diaphragm to collect oxygen and further convert it into blood sugar, naturally nourishing the cellular structure to maintain your vibration.
The most important gas that is collected through breathing as you ascend to 6000 is oxygen. Each crystalline cell in the form requires oxygen content, along with sugar and water. The crystalline diaphragm collects oxygen and converts it into sugar to supply the crystalline cells, which require oxygen 24 times a day to thrive daily, unlike cells that are built on a 2-unit pattern. Ascendants living in contaminated regions may find the oxygen they lack in ascension. In this case, you can supplement your diet with liquid or gaseous oxygen until you are able to move to places that better support your intention to ascend. It is the same when traveling in crowded buses, trains or planes, each initiate, as an ascending being, can feel deprived of oxygen. Carrying a bottle or cylinder of liquid or gaseous oxygen with you is a useful remedy in such circumstances to reduce the number of dying cells that die during the trip due to oxygen deprivation.

Synthesis sign
Having determined the dominant element\elements and the cross\crosses, we can determine the sign of synthesis. The sign of synthesis is just such a sign that combines the dominant element and the dominant cross. For example, if fire and the mutable cross are dominant, then the sign of synthesis is Sagittarius, it relates to both fire and the mutable cross. But often more than one element or more than one cross dominates. In this case, there may be more signs of synthesis.
What does the sign of synthesis mean? It is important to understand that he does not bring anything new. It only helps to understand how such a combination of the elements and the cross manifests itself, what sign it looks like.
The dominant elements and crosses are the so-called integral indicators. Integral indicators are calculated from several others, when we consider not one planet, but several or all at once, and generalize.

Too little Earth
Earth is equivalent to amino acids, lipids, sugars and minerals used in building the body. Often people who lack the earth element are thin in shape. Therefore, adding earth to the mixture of elements permeating the etheric body will help the form gain significant focus in holding a higher vibration during ascension. It is not uncommon for earth-deficient people to experience a fear of grounding themselves to the Earth. In reality, to be in the body, that is, to be grounded, means to experience all the emotions that you evoke when living physical life. There are many cases where individual members of the human species are descended from a deva or an angel
as a soul, and after birth experience difficulties with grounding, which has already been noted by some ascenders.
Devas and angels do not like to exist in form, for they are more akin to formlessness and the all-encompassing nature there. However, as an ascending initiate, one cannot ascend if the soul is outside the body; therefore people with this predisposition must learn to ground themselves in the form; and also ground yourself to Mother Earth. When the initiates perform this task, everyone will find that the pain weakens and goes away; and at the same time everyone will feel safe and loved, loved by the Earth and their soul. And then everyone will grow to the size required to easily maintain their own vibration.

Too Much Earth
An excessive amount of the earth element forces one to go to the other extreme - excessive fullness or massiveness. Therefore, balancing the earth will eliminate excess weight that is not required for ascension, if that is your predisposition. Often people with excess earth element tend to unconsciously take on other people's pain, anger and fear and store these vibrations in the excess fat of their body. When ascenders predisposed to such realities learn to return all of others' karma and pain back to those to whom it truly belongs, they learn to process only that which truly reveals only their own ancestors.
People with an excess of the earth element were called Kapha in Vedic Medicine. Kapha tends to have a slower metabolism than Vata or Pitta and is therefore often predisposed to weight gain. The same applies to Watha. Sometimes weight gain occurs from an inactive thyroid gland. During ascension, this gland is restored and includes a more refined modality of metabolic command. Therefore, for those who are excessively heavy, during ascension there is an opportunity to balance - by adding the missing elements, in particular, air and fire. The air ventilates the mold, causing it to lighten; the fire will provide the chi that has been collected in the fat to maintain the vibration of the form, thereby allowing excess weight to be lost through ascension.
How to find out your element using tarot cards?
To find out your element using tarot cards, you need to select court cards from the deck. The court cards are kings, queens, knights and pages. Boys and young boys should determine their element with the help of four knights, girls with the help of four pages, mature men with the help of four kings, and married and mature women with the help of four queens.
Look carefully at the cards, and then arrange them in a row depending on your like or dislike for the characters depicted on the cards. Intuitively, you will associate yourself with the personality archetype that best matches your element. The same personality archetype that completely does not correspond to your element, you will intuitively deny and push away, so it will end up last in the row.
