Thank you for your thoughtful response @MeganB, it got me thinking too
Iāve had some severe physical symptoms too, I remember one summer especially well when it was 30ā / 86ā for a whole week (a rare occasion here in Finland, I wouldnāt be comfortable living in warmer climatesā¦), I was on a cabin vacation with my girlfriend, no AC, no lake nearby, even outside was riddled with mosquitoesā¦ Shower was the only place to cool down. And I really should have used that option more often By the way I got really uncomfortable, I just could not go to the shower, even warm water felt ice cold to me. I had to slowly shower small areas of my body with warmer water, and work my way to colder temperatures, having a towel nearby to wrap myself in. I had to ask my girlfriend how warm or cold the water was, because I just couldnāt trust my own senses there. It was a bonding experience for sure, but one Iād rather not repeat
I can get that, especially if the āair equals intellectā isnāt your thing. Iām feeling that the time Iāve spent programming computers and especially things to do with computer networks, how the data moves in the wires and in the air and how to encode all kinds of things into it, has made me connect better with the intangible. I feel more of a connection to the energy / spirit than air though.
Oh my, this sounds just divine I have a complicated relationship to being underwater I love the feeling itself, but Iāve had a couple of almost drowning experiences, and on both of the times I was inhaling chlorinated water too, which burned in the lungs and made me panic even moreā¦ Having a way to breathe freely while underwater would be a dream come true for me though, I can feel the deep relaxation just thinking about itā¦
I couldnāt imagine living somewhere without AC I grew up in a state where it was over 100Ā°F all summer long. And even now living in Florida, the heat in the summer is over 80Ā°F for most of the summer Iām used to it a bit, but if Iām working outside then I have to have plenty of water, lots of shade, and a place to sit and rest.
I think that might be where my issue is with Air. I have a hard time relating Air to intellect. Itās funny, though, because I can totally relate Water to emotions and Earth to stability and the physical world. Fire I struggle with, too, but I relate to Fire on a more tangible level, I think. It makes sense the way you see Air, especially when relating to your experience in programming!
Breathing underwater is literally a dream for me. I canāt tell you how many lucid dreams I had as a kid about being in my pool swimming and realizing that I could breathe under the water even now, I would love to get my scuba certification so I could go diving in the ocean or off the reefs. Or heck, I would settle for just being able to stay underwater in my own swimming pool
This is definitely something Iāll have to ponder some more. Thank you for starting the discussion!
Oh dear, with those temperatures I wouldnāt eitherā¦
The way fire dances and spreads I can totally feel the connection to passion It has a flowy character to me thatās close to water, but quicker and lighter. Water feels heavier andā¦ deeper to me. Both also have their calm modes that feel very nourishing and nurturing
This sounds so good, the next time I have a lucid dream I definitely want to try this!
And why not other elements tooā¦ immersed in a sea of flames, swimming in lava, flying through the air (a classic ), diving into a swampā¦
Iād be half tempted to use some kind of a homemade mask and air hose solution, but Iād be playing with my lifeā¦ Definitely not without someone looking after me!
Follow up question: Do you feel most connected to the element associated with your zodiac sign? For example, Iām a Leo, but I tend to feel more connected to water than fire. Iām just curious if there is a correlation.
I think this is a great way to describe how they both feel! Fire is definitely quicker and more direct. Water is slower and moreā¦not gentle, but yeah, deeper is a good word for it.
It is so much! Theyāre some of my favorite dreams - and honestly, some of the only ones I remember from when I was a kid
Ya know, Iāve thought about it - but youāre right, I shouldnāt play with my life like that even if I had someone watching, it would still freak me out!
Ohhhā¦ this is a great question! Overall, I think I do feel a closer connection to water than anything else. Iām a Scorpio Sun, so that makes sense.
I had a peek at my entire chart and my element breakdown is like this.
Water: 4 Fire: 3 Earth: 5 Air: 2
So, I guess looking at my entire chart, it makes sense why I connect with every element excent water, and sometimes struggle to connect with fire. I wonder if astrology plays any role in our connections to the elements! Something more to ponder, I suppose!
I have so much of it in my chart, grew up around it, and have what Iāve recently been noticing is an imbalance of Divine Feminine/Yin energy- itās overpowering. Iāve been trying to work on Divine Masculine/Yang energy in my life, but itās been slow going. Although the summer solstice and peak of solar energy seems to be helping!
I love the quiz and Iām super excited to see the results- these types of questions are always so interesting to explore! Thank you for sharing the quiz, @CelestiaMoon!
The data is pretty limited, but looking at the elemental challenges we did in the past (with the Air Challenge being the least popular), the Type of Witch poll, and now the results from thisā¦ it seems like, over and over again, Air is the least popular element.
My guess is that itās like you said, Megan, that itās an intangible element- harder to work with and connect to. But maybe there are other reasons tooā¦ itās an interesting topic to explore!
Scorpio may be spicy, but itās still a water sign soā¦ yup, that tracks for my sun sign!
From what I know about you, Iād say youāre right! It sounds exactly like you
Welcome to the forum @tina28 Iām glad youāre enjoying your time here! Living in the woods is a dream for a lot of people - Iām glad it gives you the connection to all elements!
But I have always had a Love of Water. According to my Chinese chart I am a wood person with a water personality. My water aspect is higher than my wood aspect if I have read it correctly.
These are the types of things that should be taught in our schools, if public education is necessary. Give ourselves the tools we need to live our lives in knowledge instead of memorization. Allow ourselves to flow into what we Love and aspire to be. Give ourselves the freedom to become our best selves with guidance instead of indoctrination.
Also as my moon or rising sign i am a moon Pisces sign which interprets as:
With the moon in Pisces, individuals are very sensitive, and they often lose themselves in the problems and feelings of others, towards whom they are extremely receptive . They are imaginative beings, and may seem to get lost in their own fantasy world at times.
@starborn I see you stand in the crossroads too (balance in masculine and feminine, and the elements) Hecate could be a good match for you, if you feel inclined to working with deities
I used to have a connection with her for a while, but seeing the kind of passion I had she pointed me to Lilith insteadā¦
Hi. Iām a wierdo in the bunch. Just air. I do work with all the elements, but my specialty is what seems like everybody else rejected.
As for astrology, I am pretty illiterate. Can someone help me plot the elements on this mess?
Um I hope that leads to my chartā¦
Now, if you would have added Spirit to the elements, Iād say thatās where I shine. Itās been my focus ever since Dad died or since my first remembered dream, which was probably around the same time. They probably reinforced each other.

Iām a Cancer Sun, Sagittarius Rising 
I can definitely feel the shift of the seasons too
