The twelve signs divide into four elements. Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) act. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) build. Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) think and connect. Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) feel.
Count your planets
List which sign each of your planets is in and count the elements. A chart heavy in one element shows your natural mode; a missing element shows what you may borrow from others.
Balance is not the goal
Few charts are evenly spread. The point is to understand your own weather, not to correct it.
