Influences of the Elements
Introduction to Zodiac Signs - 2
- written by Philip Graves - 1 Jan 2004
The Elements, divided into Fire, Air, Earth and Water, were named to metaphorically represent observed characteristics of the signs in each grouping. Karen Hamaker-Zondag regards the elements as representing one's psychological perspective on reality.
Each element is represented symbolically by its fixed sign, which is believed to typify it most closely. Thus, the Fire element, or Inspirational Nature, is depicted by the lion; the Earth element, or Practical Nature, is depicted by the bull; the Air element, or Intellectual Nature, is depicted by the water-bearer; and the Water element, or Emotional Nature, is depicted by the scorpion.
