Explaining the elements in Astrology

This is a little astrology lesson on the elements. In astrology, you will hear certain signs associated with four different elements: Fire, Earth, Air, & Water. The Fire signs are Aries, Leo & Saggitarius. The Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo & Capricorn. Air signs are Gemini, Libra & Aquarius. And water signs are Cancer, Scopio & Pisces. Here is a way to understand what energies they represent:

Fire - "Ecstatic Expression"

About: The free flow of divine creative energy in a positive, uplifting fashion.
Without Fire:  There would be no spark, no radiant expression, no conviction.
Weakness:  The unintentional identification of ego/self with the divine, creative energy flowing through oneself, leading to an excessive self-centeredness and exaggerated sense of self-importance.

Earth - "Humble Embodiment"

About: Embodying.  Focusing on the present moment, present life, and being realistic/intelligent enough to perfect this reality.
Without Earth: We would all be up in the clouds (emotions), in the air (thinking), or in the imagination (fire).  There would be no actualization.
Weakness:  Attachment and stinginess.  Clinging to physical things, resistance to change, overfocusing on physical, temporal details rather than the larger spiritual picture or the heart.

Air - "Human Relating"

About:  The love of people with freedom and non-attachment.  The use of the intellect in service to humanity.
Without Air: There would be no ability to appreciate differences and different perspectives.  There would be no unified humanitarian vision.
Weakness: A difficulty with feeling emotion, leading to depression and/or a lack of true connection with Self and others.  An overactive mind, or addiction to learning that blocks deeper peace and awareness.

Water - "Spiritual Unity"

About: Harmony with Spirit through Spiritual Surrender, leading to co-operation with Divinity, which then manifests through loving presence, service, and/or creative arts.  The removal of selfish instincts from loving, giving, and having.
Without Water: No compassion. No surrender. 
Weakness:  Attachment.  Addiction to emotional obsession, victimization, insecurity, defensiveness, and pain.  Inability to separate and work on the self before appropriate merger with others, with Spirit, etc.
