Anyway your element is like the ultimate projection of you personality, so if you have a near death experience and start being like some whole new person, your element changes.
Example.
My Element is Water, because of my Calm, still and flowing personality, but with all these fine attributes, i tend to be very quiet in public/when i'm not with friends. So if i decided to be more outgoing, dominating and self confident, i feel my personality may change from a calm water to a self confident Fire. Get my point?
Now you may be speaking in terms of astrology ,my astrological sign is also water, but i think it's coincidence. Now people will not always match there astrological sign, and that's great :D Your astrological Element is not your personality :D
If your element was your protection,then why do people still get hurt.Plus your element can't choose your presonality(bad spelling)
Example:My elements are spirit,air,and water.Spirit:I can sence,see,and talk to.Water:I don't act calm.Air:Im don't flow easily.
Your Astrological Element might not fit your personality well from a general standpoint, but overall Astrological Charts are pretty accurate of a portrayal of peoples' personalities. I'm intellectual and reclusive and my Sun Sign is Scorpio - which technically makes my element Water. I see the characteristics reflected in my deep well of internal emotion and people seem more comfortable opening up to me. A typical therapist, in other words. However, I'm quick to anger if I'm not grounded well.
If you fix a chart for yourself, you'll start to see where everything flows together to make "you." Just because you're a water sign doesn't mean you're overly emotional. That is but ONE sign in your chart; An important one, but still just one. Look at the bigger picture.
Call me Conservative, but Astrology is pretty darn accurate if you ask me.

"your element chooses you" this sounds like the Harry potter scene with the wands? You don't gave to work with just one element. I will admit that I know very little about the elements as it has never come to me to research them beyond basic knowledge. You can choose your element to a extent, but saying that you are fire and your astrological chart and the description on the fire elements personality are completely different then there is a very small chance that your element is fire.

I have to disagree with you DarkSun.
The goal should always aim to be one with all the elements. "Changing your personality" does not mean changing your element.
In fact, I would go so far as to say that you may not fully understand what the elements are about from your example.
Water is in fact calm. Relaxing. Purifying. Washes away old and brings in new.
It is also the babbling brook that playfully glides. The 25 foot waves that crash into anything in it's path. It is both calm and destructive. Playful and dangerous.
Just like the rest of the elements.
As for the rest of this thread...
I don't buy into "elements choosing you". I believe we are attracted to particular elements when we start off.
Most of us, no matter how far down our path we are, will have a stronger bond with one maybe two elements. Having said that, I again stress the importance of bonding and working with all elements.
I am a Capricorn and I think my main element is earth, but I'm not to sure. Capricorn really is not my personality, or so I don't think anyways. I'm open to anyone telling me more about this and myself. Thanks!:)
