finding your element.

By, your zodiac sign.
Here are the following elements for each sign:
Aries=Fire
Taurus=Earth
Gemini=Air
Cancer=Water
Leo=Fire
Virgo=Earth
Libra=Air
Scorpio=Water
Sagittarius=Fire
Capricorn=Earth
Aquarius=Air
Pisces=Water

also there is your ascendant ( the sign that is rising when u are born) which is like a secondary element..

It's not always your zodiac sign, sometimes it can just be the element that you feel most comfortable with.
For example, you could be an Earth sign but you are more comfortable with Fire.
In this case (its an example only) your element would be Fire.

your example is exactly correct in my case.

This thread has been moved to General Info from Welcome.

@ xxrubyxx what if you are equally comfortable wiht more than one element?

Then jtd you go to the element you're the most comfortable with then to the next one and ect you get it.

I like Reborn's suggestion.

Disregarding what I usually suggest- meditation, trials and error etc... etc...
Following your instincts is actually quite a helpful thing to do when finding something as spiritually significant as one's element.

I tend to fall into that there is 2 elements for eweryone.
One where you have you 'bace or focus' in.
In my case. (the one of my sodiac) eart.
My energys have a 'grounded calm'

And a 'ackting' element.
In my case wind. Where I can comunicate with the winds. And change it. (but not in a forcing way)

also the combinding efeckt of those.
That I have a 'flying but still grounded, down to eart'
kind of energys. Or like when the wind blows the trees.

That's an interesting outlook on it, Myrdin.

I usually speak of multiple as well but any number really.

Primary- what you seem to call the acting element.
Secondary- usually one of choice that one doesn't find quite as inherent as their primary.
And then Subsidiary- any others that are being focused on or tend to emit a pull or draw the person.
