In a previous article, I delved into detail about grounding. If you missed it, you can read it on our sister site. I discussed how different people attune to various elements in their personal spiritual practice. In this article, we will explore elemental affinities more deeply. Looking at how each of us can connect with one or more of the four elements.

You will know that there are four elements within the spiritual world (five if you include the essence of spirit itself, but for the purpose of this article, we will be looking only at the physical base elements): Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Each one of us can connect and grow an affinity with one of these elements. In some cases, individuals can even connect with more than one.

Some people naturally know which element they connect with on a deep level. Others, however, need to do a bit of exploring to find this out. Either way, knowing which element you naturally attune to is extremely helpful when it comes to conducting your day-to-day spiritual practice as you can use it to boost your energy.

One way to determine which element you naturally connect with is by considering your zodiac sign. Each of the 12 signs is associated with an element, often representing your natural element.

The signs and their corresponding elements are as follows:

Earth: Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus

Water: Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer

Air: Libra, Aquarius, Gemini

Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

So, for example, if you are a Virgo, it is highly likely that Earth will be your elemental affinity. To delve a little deeper, you can consider which element you are naturally drawn towards or feel most comfortable with. Do you feel at peace when gardening or having your hands on the Earth? Does being around large bodies of water feel like home to you? If you look deep within yourself and consider how you conduct yourself on a day-to-day basis, you can probably discover your own natural affinity more easily than you thought.

Each element also possesses temperament and personality traits. Are you quick to anger or sometimes feel overly emotional? These could be clues as to the element you hold within you.

Here is a quick guide to each element’s traits:

Earth: Detail-oriented, down-to-earth, cultivated, grounded, practical, deeply powerful.

Air: Witty, social, spacey, intellectual, good listeners.

Water: Imaginative, empathetic, highly emotional, nurturing, intuitive.

Fire: Brave, artistic, confident, passionate; independent; quick to become ‘fiery’.

Do you feel that one of these elements describes your personality? Once you discover which element you share a connection with, your day-to-day spiritual practice can evolve around it. A good example of this connects back to the grounding article I recently wrote. Individuals with Earth affinities will find that connecting directly with the earth is best for them, while those with fire affinities will find that burning a candle or bonfire will balance them more effectively.

I hope this inspires you to discover your own affinity and work with it. Getting to know yourself on a deep spiritual level is incredibly satisfying, and I am glad to assist you on this journey.
