My Element

**GMAN12** · 14th March 2013, 10:23 PM

I think that this part of the forum is relevant.

I once had a chat with Aunt Clair talking about my name. My name is Makena.

I recently finished reading through Bardon's Questions and Answers and close to the bottom of the book was the elements that correspond with us. I found out that I am the Fire element.

I know this is meant for me as it was never a coincidence. Getting back to the skype chat Aunt Clair, she told me that my name meant Born of Fire! Amazing right? I am also an Aries. Looking through other things reading through all the lists, I noticed only on my element a lot of things corresponded to me!

I thought it was a good piece of information that I wanted to add.

I wish we had a *Like* button like on FB.

Ok, I'll add mine.
I'm a fire element also. I've always known it, even before getting into Hermetics. I'm a Leo born during the almost-noon hour in the tropics, and even in Chinese astrology (based on the year, which I won't divulge) I'm a fire element too.

Alright, I'm Cancer, cardinal (I wasn't invited to the conclave) water and ruled by the Moon, which is bound to Sun, Leo for it's illumination.
I have 'sensitivity' problems and perhaps I can understand that via Hermetics. I studied the related topics and I think there is a great deal to be learned about ourselves but my interests gradually waned over the years.

That is pretty cool CFTraveler and eyeoneblack! I hope I can get more people to post their elements and how they relate to it.

I am Gemini so I am Air. I do live in my head a lot and often off with the fairies.

IA56 yes I mean the element. The sign will determine your element. So yes you must be water.

Hi GMAN12,
A late welcome to you,
I 've never read up on elementals so don't know anything about them but I am a Scorpian like IA56 so I must be water as well.
How are we affected by our elements?
If this means anything I know I'm in my element ( just trying to be clever there) when I go snorkelling or scuba diving.
I could stay in the water all day and feel free as if I've discovered my other world.

Thanks Susan. Yes you must be water.

So let me recap on myself.
Let me say it is very cool. I want to know if there is anything special about it either.

My element: Fire
The year I was born: The Year of the Ox. 1997 and it was the year of the Fire Ox too.
My sign: Aries which is part of the fire.

I don't know if we are 'affected' by our elements- I do think we embody them more- like we decided to be born on a certain date to make it clear to ourselves what our major element is, if we don't do a soul mirror (and really, who does?)
So I have a fiery temper, am pushy and often have trouble with water (which is funny, my husband is a water element)- it's interesting how our temperaments 'go with' the characteristics of our element.
