How To Guess Someone's Astrological Element

By Max Blackstone

Has anyone ever guessed your astrological element right? It's amazing when it happens but it usually requires a lot of practice and a deep understanding of astrology. Not anymore!

Here's the first step of a very simple approach that allows anyone to guess anybody's astrological element (with a little bit of practice of course).

First the good news: in total there're ONLY 4 astrological elements: Fire, Water, Air and Earth. What makes it easy is that each zodiac sign belongs to one of these four elements:

Fire Signs are Aries, Leo, Sagittarius: Passionate Doers

Generally Fire signs tend to be outgoing, inspirational and these people often are an inspiration to others. Sometimes Fire elements can become selfish, in-sensitive risk-takers. A lack of the fire element is indicated by a lack of inspiration, initiative and difficulty in becoming inspired.

The Earth Signs equal Persistent Achievers. The Zodiacs are Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

Many Earth signs tend to be practical, cautious and strive for a materialistic approach to life with the need to build solid, 'real' material success at home and in career. They like long range planning and have the determination to succeed. A lack of earth is indicated by a lack of striving for 'real' world success.

Air Signs are Gemini, Libra, Aquarius: Intellectual Speakers

Air signs tend to be natural communicative, extroverted intellectual and enjoy being exposed to different ideas and knowledge. A lack of air is indicated by a lack of the ability to conceptualize and express an idea.

Water Signs are Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces: Intuitive Feelers

Water signs are know to be quite emotional. They are also caring, compassionate and artistic. Some of them they don't show it necessarily, others tend to exaggerate feelings out of proportion and live in a fantasy world. A lack of water is indicated as a lack of the intuition for the feeling side of life and to show compassion for those around them.

WARNING: Now, clearly, everybody has a little bit of all of these element in them. So there's no one who is just a pure water sign or fire sign. However, what we are looking for is which is the DOMINANT element. And that's how it works. It's as much an art as it is a science.

HOW TO GUESS:

To guess someone's astrological element you'll have to rate the existence of traits in a person between 1 and 10 points in the following four areas. Here's how you do it: Give 10 points when a trait is very dominant, give a 1 point when there's a lack of of this trait. Give 5 points when you are undecided.

How much of a "Passionate Doer" is the person? Please rate between 1 and 10 how inspirational, passionate and energetic this person is about things that interest that person.

Does the person have the traits of a "Intellectual Talker"? Please rate between 1 and 10 how much communicative and extroverted this person is about new ideas and concepts.

Is the person a "Intuitive Feeler"? Please rate between 1 and 10 how emotional, compassionate and introverted this person is about problems and issues.

How much of a "Persistent Worker" is the person? Please rate between 1 and 10 how practical, consistent and materialistic this person is and things that the person wants to achieve.

When thinking about these questions, think of situations where this person had to show these traits in the past. If you've just met the person, ask them to tell you a story in which they tell you about their feelings, achievements, passion and ideas.

How to tell: The person's astrological element is the HIGHEST RATING one.

If there's a tie or you're otherwise unsure about the results - ask more questions and re-rate in all four areas. You'll be amazed how many times this method will be successful. Have fun with it.
