The elements of the birth chart

The Elements of the Birth Chart

Since long before written history, there’s been an understanding of the elemental balance needed to sustain life. Many indigenous traditions honor the sacred circle, formed by the four elements, and seen in the Zodiacal wheel. In your own birth chart, the mix of elements shows you what you’re working with in life. Are you grounded in earth, but subject to the tide of emotions from water? Understanding how the elements come into play in your chart can help you better understand your nature.

The Greek philosophers found the four elements in all of life, and their Zodiacal wheel of cosmic energies reflected that balance. And yet, knowlege of the elements reaches back into the primal past, as the building blocks of ancient Earth. Ptolemy is credited with making the association between the four elements and the signs of astrology in the 2nd Century AD. Using longstanding theories of the four elements, he assigned three signs to each element.

Fire signs: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are known for being inspired, energetic, instinctual, outgoing, and active. Aries are known to be natural born leaders with a strong sense of self. Leo’s embody the fire element through their warmth and compassion. Sagittarius expresses the fire element through their quick-wits, bravery, and take-action attitude, allowing them to embrace the unknown.

Air signs: Libra, Gemini and Aquarius are known for the mind, intellect, ideas, being detached, and conceptual. Libra’s believe in justice, and hearing all sides to bring balance to all aspects of life. Gemini is well-known for its flexibility and changeability. Aquarius is slow in processing and understanding situations as they think in-depth to find ways to help and support people and communities worldwide.

Water signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are known for their emotions, being imaginative, nurturing, and introverted. Cancer is a cardinal sign, which makes them able to take decisive action and manifest their dreams swiftly. Scorpio is the only fixed water sign of the zodiac. Because of their passionate nature, they’re often mistaken for a fire sign. Pisces tender hearts emotions change rampantly, it also takes them a long time to make a permanent decision preferring to day dream before finally committing.

Earth Signs: Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo are known for being practical, sensual, and grounded. Capricorns are the initiators of the earth signs they’re known to be ambitious and hardworking, enjoying control and status. Taurus’s are persistent, hard workers, reliable, and stable. Virgo’s take a systematic approach to life and they value truth and justice using their finely tuned minds to investigate situations and decipher alibis through reason.

Numerology: Ruling Number 1 Compatibility Guide

Most people are curious to know if they are compatible with someone else. It can be our significant other, boss, friend or family member.

We find this out by reducing our ruling number to a single digit. Remember: our Ruling Number (aka Life Path Number) is our complete birthdate reduced to a single digit. As long as you know the person’s Ruling Number you are ready for some interesting info. There are many combinations to finding compatibility so over the next few blogs I’ll break the numbers down individually.

Our first number, of course, is 1.

We will explore number one with the rest of the numbers 2 through 9.

Ruling Number 1 Compatibility:

1 with 1

Leadership is key with this combination. Since you both are aggressive and both want the same things, working together in harmony is the lesson here.

1 with 2

Number 1 is the leader here and number 2 is the support. This is a winning match because you compliment each other.

1 with 3

With one’s leadership abilities and three’s ability to turn ideas into real success, these two can have an extremely fruitful relationship. If they both stay focused anything can happen.

1 with 4

Even though ones are strong on leadership they are also strong on impulsiveness. Fours are cautious which can be irritating to a one.

1 with 5

Both of these people are very active and have original minds. They make a great team with the one originating the ideas and the five selling them. They have a great capacity to make a good living together.

1 with 6

People with a number six love art, beauty and the “good life”. The number one person is capable of delivering these luxuries as long as they don’t insist on having their own way all the time. A cooperative effort and this team can do great things.

1 with 7

These two people can make a spiritual connection. Ones need to give sevens the space needed for privacy and thought. Sevens can help with the impulsivity of ones. Together these numbers can make a powerful team.

1 with 8

Both numbers here are aggressive and used to things going their way. They would have to cooperate or become arch rivals. They can either do great things together or bring ruin to each other.

1 with 9

This is an interesting combination. Nine people have great vision and wisdom while one people are original and inventive. Together they can make for a very successful partnership doing great things.

That’s it for now

Numerology: Power & Master Numbers

This time we are going to talk about the three Power numbers otherwise called the Master numbers 11-22 and 33.

The Master Numbers

We do not break these numbers down to a single digit. We refer to them as 11/2, 22/4, and 33/6 because they contain aspects of their single digit counterpart.

11/2

We already talked about how elevens have exceptionally high levels of intuition and spirituality. These are the people who are the guides of mankind. They guide us into lives of compassion and awareness. The eleven also has aspects of the number 2 which includes charisma and leadership. The number two is a duality of intuition and inner conflict. The negative side of this is that not many elevens live up to this great responsibility. They are shy and have a lot of nervous energy. This can give way to fear and self-doubt.

Elevens make great teachers, artistic performers and social workers.

22/4

Twenty-two is not only the most powerful of all numbers but the most successful. The number 22 encompasses the all or nothing. Twenty-two’s can become the masters of anything they are committed to or they become lazy drifters. Remember, 22 are double 11 and they have the practical aspects of 4. Four’s express themselves best in the material world. What a great combination! They possess an immense potential to achieve with intense productivity. The number twenty-two is rare occurring in a small percent of the population.

Twenty two’s make great leaders in all aspects of life, artists, diplomats and architects.

33/6

The number 33/6 is not concerned with self-advancement. It is all about doing well for mankind. This brings with it great responsibilities and leadership skills. These people are all about serving and helping the largest number of people. The down side of this is their being able to discern where, when and whom to help or they become overwhelmed. Remember, 33 combines 11 and 22 all of which are rare numbers. 33/6 also encompasses the number 6 which is about responsibility especially to others. It also represents a take charge attitude along with loyalty. There are always two sides to every number. The negative side to 33 is to become too focused on your own agenda and to care less of others. People born under 33 make great spiritual leaders, teachers and artists.
