The last two elements that could be our primary physical element include Fire and Earth.
Fire is the most yang energy flow of all the elements. Fire's primary energy flow is upward. The facial structure is a diamond-like shape (prominent cheekbones or cheekbones being the widest part of face), or a flame shape that is widest at the lower jaw and narrows as it rises.
The main curriculum for a Fire element person involves the development of passion and purpose in life. Fires bring inspiration and excitement to any and all undertakings. They have the ability to focus on and commit to a goal or purpose, and they honor their words and commitments. Early in life, a Fire may draw experiences that shut down their passion, and do not honor their inner purpose. They may draw people to them that have a challenge with commitment, or create an experience of betrayal. These experiences all set up a Fire element person to reclaim their passion and purpose, and to learn the importance of integrity and honor in life.
When Fire element is out of balance, it can resemble its restricting element. Fire can appear to be scattered and unfocused, spending to much time daydreaming or getting lost in time or space. They can begin projects over and over without bringing any to completion, causing the feeling of scattered energy and overwhelm. To restore balance and nourish the Fire element, one should turn to the Wood element and take on a physical project or goal. Applying one's energy in the world and creating is nurturing for the Fire element.
The Earth element is the stillpoint, with the primary energy flow being still or balanced in all directions. This is the pause between inbreath and outbreath, the stabilizing energy flow. This element is identified by a square shaped face, or a face that is equal in width and height. Earth often has a wide straight jawline or straight chin.
Earth's curriculum for the current incarnation is to develop centeredness, balance, and stability, and to use their skill in this department to create stability for others around them. They have a strong ability to connect with the experience and feelings of others, and must learn how to maintain this connection without losing themselves in the drama of others' lives. Earth element people are sometimes so sensitive to the feelings of others that they can turn to addictions or obsessive behavior to try to shut off the feelings. When they are out of balance, they may appear like the wood element, focusing only on a goal in the physical world as if they have blinders on to the rest of life. They can lose their connection to others and lose their own internal balance.
In order to re-establish balance, Earth should turn to the nourishing element of Fire and laugh! Be spontaneous, make new decisions and do something different. They must find the passion and purpose again in life, the things that excite them.
Now that we have an overview of each element, it is important to see these elements in a multi-dimensional perspective. As there is a little yin in every yang, there is also a little of each element in all the others. The physical element we inherit with incarnation is only half of the equation to our constitutional pattern. The other 50% has to do with what we chose and what we experienced in past incarnations. We might have a soul body that has experienced lifetime after lifetime of incarnation as a Water, and now this time we are coming into a wood body. Can you see how unique this can make our current life assignment? In other words, the element we own physically MUST be accepted and acknowledged. But how we bring our soul's purpose into manifestation and fulfillment may be very different from how anyone else does, based on our previous incarnations. This leads us to the Palaces, or areas of focus in our lives.
On a personal note, I felt a big shift today that was beginning yesterday. It feels as if the local area has begun to awaken to the unity grid of Mother Earth! And today, at around 10 this morning, St. George experience a benign earthquake. Mother is re-aligning...
Many Blessings to all,
