No doubt millions of people start their journey by running through the newspapers to see the daily horoscope. We want the horoscope to tell us positive things that will happen in the next 24 hours, such as whether someone will give us a good look, how quickly we will become rich, or our love compatibility. Conversely, we’re less interested in coming up with a ‘today’s not your day for love, business’s not in the stars for you today’ horror landscape.
But first of all, what element of the horoscope are you? Hmm… You really don’t know what the horoscope is? Well, the horoscope is an astrological chart for a specific person or group that correlates each zodiac sign as the Sun, Moon and planets intersect them and the position of the planets in astrology. Now, the elements Fire, Earth, Air and Water are based on ancient Greek philosophy; they are the building blocks of life: the solid earth we stand on, the running water we use as a resource, the air we breathe, and the fire that keeps us warm and helps create additional resources. The elements of the horoscope reflect a quality of human nature and also correspond to the Tarot: Fire = Wands; Land = Corners; Air = Swords; Water = Cups.
