Before diving deeper into health astrology, I should first point out that I am not a medical practitioner. This presentation is for information only. Should you want specific guidance in medical matters, you would be advised to seek the relevant professionals.
In this blog post, I will discuss the four elements in astrology and explain how you can better understand your body and psyche by observing and analysing the planetary placements in your birth chart.
Each of the zodiac signs is assigned to one of the four elements:
- Fire (Aries, Leo, Sag)
- Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
- Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
- Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
In the simplest context, the four elements are four states of matter: light, liquid, gas and mineral.
Fire manifests as fire (hot, light, dry), releases energy, and the fuel-burning energies of the body occur through the activation of the Fire element.
Air as air (cold, light and moist) governs the oxygen action of the blood, breath, and language.
Water as water (cold, heavy and wet) rules the body’s fluids, our memory.
Earth as earth (warm, heavy, dry) rules the minerals within the body, the bones, the building of a bodily structure. It is connected to stamina, food storage and longevity.

- deficiency
- excess
