Planets in the elements
After looking at Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Moon in the elements in yesterday’s post, we now focus on Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn.
We will briefly elaborate on each planet in each of the 4 elements and give more details in subsequent posts.
Sun in the elements
The sun sign element reveals many things. To begin with, it can indicate the basic inner force that motivates the rest of the chart. The element can also show to what realm of experience a person is attuned to and how they see life.
Air sun signs live in their thoughts and are motivated by concepts that will be used to give these sun signs a perspective on life.
In order to maintain their positive and enthusiastic nature happy and content, a sun sign in the fire element will look for activities and actions that inspire them.
Deep emotional yearnings are what motivate a water sun sign and determines its behavior.
Finally, the sun in the earth element finds its bearing by being grounded in the world of material needs.
Jupiter in the Elements
Jupiter’s element shows what experience and activities one seeks in order to express faith and confidence in themselves, and generate opportunities.
Jupiter in the fire signs is at its utmost expression when it is willing to take risks in his self-expression, try new things.
In the earth element, Jupiter finds its faith by tuning into the senses, assuming responsibilities, and being, in general, practical and dependable.
The Air element stimulates Jupiter to express new ideas to a wide range of people in order to promote social improvements and goals.
Finally, Jupiter in the water element is best manifested when it uses compassion, imagination, sensitivity, and intuition to follow its own yearnings.
Saturn in the Elements
Saturn in the elements often indicates where the individual is tied up in knots and has a difficulty in mastering the area of life that pertains to that element. Only a consistent effort allows Saturn to overcome this blockage and function properly.
In the water element, Saturn often shows a fear of emotions. Those with this placement are often overly sensitive emotionally and try their best to conceal this fact from anyone or anything that could threaten the status quo.
Saturn in the air signs has a tendency to get caught in negative thinking that prevents them from communicating clearly and practically and from handling their social responsibilities. In this element, Saturn needs to develop a detached perspective.
The earth element, Saturn has to overcome its reluctance to deal with mundane affairs, daily responsibilities. Learning to control the physical world via discipline and efficiency is the doorway to conquer this blockage.
In the fire signs, Saturn often feels inhibited in his self-expression and creativity, believing he is incapable of regular and objective creativity.
Can you recognize yourself in any of these descriptions? How well have you been handling the energy of the element? Has it helped you or hindered you in your ability to express the planets?
