Which Element Are You: Earth, Wind, Water, Or Fire?

411 Shares

Astrology has been around since the Babylonians and been co-opted by numerous civilizations since to figure out seasonal changes and agricultural patterns. Almost everybody knows exactly which Sun sign they are, which is calculated based on the hour of their birth in "siderial" time (beginning with the sun's position at the spring equinox to follow Earth's year-long rotation around the sun). But not everybody knows that these twelve signs are then dived up into four elemental categories: fire, water, earth, and air.

While sun signs already provide clues towards character tendencies and flaws, the elemental categories help sort out how some of the signs relate to each other. For example, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are known to be the intuitive signs. Odds are these are your friends with high emotional intelligence who you go to for advice and reassurance. Of course, not everyone born within the same month will have the exact same personality. There are other more specific ways to calculate someone's horoscope based on the exact hour of their birth, its location, etc. Zodiac signs are a fun way to understand your personality and the relationships you share with others.

Answer the questions below and we we'll tell you the astrological element that aligns with your personality. (Or the one that should align)

Question 1

How do you react when plans change at the last minute?

How flexible are you when it comes to the small things? Some people like to control every aspect of a situation and can't stand it when it feels like the rug is pulled out from under them. Other people can compromise or even change their viewpoint to reflect the new circumstance. Where are you on this spectrum?

Question 2

How predictable are you?

Some Zodiac signs are known for their predictability and rootedness. Others are perceived as being all over the board (but in the best way possible). In our world of changing circumstances, how much do your thoughts and actions change?

Question 3

What is your demeanor when you meet new people?

Some Zodiac personalities are predisposed to socialization. They make friends with everybody and have no qualms about big groups. Others of us make the situation so awkward because we don't know how to be ourselves in front of strangers. How good are you at interacting with new people?

Question 4

What would you say is your intellectual strength?

All of us are gifted in one way or another to fill that gap in group projects or to have somehow managed to get through geometry. How did you achieve this? Either you studied hard at home in a determined frenzy or you knew how to collaborate with others to trade history homework for an A in math.

Question 5

Which is your favorite jewel?

Everyone knows that astrological signs are paired with a precious stone. But do you know yours? Odds are you might not like it if you did. So go ahead, imagine you could choose which one would correspond with your astrological symbol. Which one below was always your favourite?

Question 6

What would you do if your significant other cheated on you?

If you haven't been confronted with this situation then you are good at picking them, well done. Hypothetically how would you react if this occurred to you? Would it depend on the circumstances? Or would you be out of that relationship faster than they could say 'jack rabbit'?

Question 7

If you had to describe your personality in two words what would they be?

Some Zodiac signs are predisposed towards certain types of work and lives. There are those who are extremely empathetic and there to give advice. There are others who are resourceful and have an insatiable thirst for success. Where do you find yourself?

Question 8

Where do you spend most of your days off?

Where do you feel most secure? Many of the signs have certain preferences regarding their environment and social surroundings. Some astrological signs prefer nesting at home perhaps making a good meal while others need to travel. Where do you prefer to spend your time?

Question 9

Which is one of your flaws?

How does your emotional frustration come out? Have you noticed you are having the same sort of problem with certain people? Are you just not compatible? Or do you need to change yourself? We all have flaws and it is beneficial to at least be able to recognize and work on them.

Question 10

Which stereotypical personality were you in high school?

Where did you fit in your high school's social schema? For a lot of us this was a painful time because we were just discovering our own independent thoughts and likes. However overly extroverted people generally thrived in this period. Who were you?

Question 11

If you were pulling a bank heist with your friends and one of you got caught, how might you react?

Entirely hypothetical, we know. But say you were pulling a bank robbery with your friends, what would be your first instinct if one of them got caught? Would you take all the loot for yourself or would you sacrifice your freedom for theirs? Would you try to pull diplomat and bribe the guards?

Question 12

When you were growing up did you know what profession you wanted to be in?

Some people are passionate, have direction, and are good planners. What a relief that must be. The rest of us either have no idea what we want or are working with what we've got. Where do you fit on this spectrum? Have you found a career direction?

Question 13

Which is your favorite animal?

Astrological sun signs are paired with animals. They stand for certain traits assigned to each sign. But if you got to choose from the options below which would you be? Which animal (including homo sapiens) is your favorite? Do you know your own astrological animal?

Question 14

If you were a food what would you be?

How adventurous are you with your appetite? Is your diet all about nutrition? Some people like to try everything and anything they haven't heard of before. Others stick to classic favourites. If you are a mystery meat you are indecisive and unpredictable (who knows, it might be good).

Question 15

Do you hold a grudge?

How rational are grudges? Psychological studies have shown they only make you more emotionally tense. Still, sometimes it is difficult to let go of an action that affected you so much. How do you stand on grudges? Does the type of transgression matter when it comes to trust?

Question 16

If you ask a friend how they're doing and they respond with "fine" what do you do?

It is always painful to see a friend in need. It is even worse if they don't want to communicate their issue to you. How do you react to this barrier? Would you instead suggest something else to get their mind off of it? Or would you press into the issue so they can receive closure?

Question 17

Who are you in a relationship?

Which of the four choices below best describes your role in previous and current relationships? Compatibility relies on balance and communication. Your traits will differ from your partners and your friends. Which title best describes the things you bring to your relationships?

Question 19

If one of your friends get caught lying to their parents how do you react?

We think you've all been there. What do you do when one of your friends gets in trouble with their parents? Do you step in and handle the situation? Maybe you can't lie because your face is too transparent. Perhaps you see the situation is escalating fast and you just want to get out of there. What do you do?

Question 20

Which was your favorite of the movies below?

What genre do you turn to when you want nice Friday night entertainment? Are you always looking to further your real world knowledge?

Question 21

If your roommate's trivial things are lying around at home what do you do?

How do you deal with things that are just left lying around? If you are a Virgo, you know this is your biggest pet peeve. Some signs will have a tendency to wreck this havoc on your collective house. Does this sound like you? If not how do you react to these situations? Do you reach out and communicate?

Question 22

Which TV character do you most identify with?

Which protagonist from these popular TV series do you best identify as? Be honest. Not everyone can be as brave and independent as Daenerys Targaryen. Some people instead have an inherent sense of moral righteousness like Annalise Keating in How to Get Away With Murder.

Question 23

What is your favorite colour?

Though Zodiac sun signs are not related to color, the elements they correspond with are. So, which best corresponds with how you see your personality? If you are active and passionate, red is for you. If you more associate yourself with foundations and rootedness choose green.
