FIRE and FIRE
When Fire meets Fire, the resulting higher and hotter
flames may create a conflagration, which will either
consume itself and burn out -- or light the darkness,
and melt the ice and fear of negative
thinking. The choice lies equally with both individuals.
AIR and AIR
When Air meets Air, there is complete freedom of
movement, little or no restriction. This blend can result
in a glorious mental, emotional and spiritual uplifting.
But Air becomes stale and polluted without the winds of
change, and Air can be whipped into the frenzy of a
tornado under certain conditions. The choice lies equally
with both individuals.
EARTH and
EARTH
When Earth meets Earth, this blend can build itself into
a tall mountain of faith and strength -- or can instead
become a dry desert, depending on which direction it
takes. When agitated, the result can be an earthquake,
with volcanic repercussions. The choice lies equally with
both individuals.
WATER and
WATER
When Water meets Water, there is no resistance, resulting
in a continual stream of inspiration, flowing eventually
into a greater ocean of enlightenment -- or on the
negative side, it may trickle into a stagnant inlet,
where there is no escape. Water cools the thirst but,
when out of control, brings destructive floods. The
choice lies equally with both individuals.
FIRE and AIR
Air fans Fire, and causes it to burn more brightly,
stimulating enthusiasm and excitement -- or inciting
passion and anger. Too much Fire can burn up the oxygen
in Air, making it difficult to breathe -- and too much
Air, such as a strong wind, can cause a flame to flicker
ever more dimly. The choice lies equally with
both individuals.
FIRE and EARTH
It is always obvious which is the stronger and more
enduring of the two elements. Earth remains where it is,
unless moved by inner explosion, or through outside
forces. Fire charts its own course, ever reaching toward
the heavens. Fire can scorch Earth but never completely
destroy it. Earth will support Fire, forming a stable
foundation for its flame; yet too much Earth can bury the
brightest Fire. The choice lies equally with both
individuals.
FIRE and WATER
A large Fire can dehydrate or dry out a small amount of
Water, with excessive heat. On the other hand, large
quantities of Water can extinguish Fire, put out its
flames. Therefore, Fire instinctively either fears or
respects Water, and vice versa. Both subconsciously sense
the danger - that each is capable of completely
destroying the other. The choice lies equally with both
individuals.
EARTH and AIR
Earth contains Air and needs it, but Air neither contains
Earth nor needs it. Earth is obligated to remain where it
is, moving only through earthquake, volcanic or outside
forces. Air has freed itself from such restrictions,
moving above the Earth at whim, neither changing Earth
nor long remaining. Earth is detached from Air, seemingly
unaware of its existence, until strong winds disturb the
plants and flowers growing on its surface, rooted in its
bosom. The outcome is determined by choice, which lies
equally with both individuals.
EARTH and
WATER
Water seeks a home, which it finds within the Earth,
penetrating Earth and moistening it, which is a blessing
to the Earth - for it is Water's penetration alone that
allows Earth to 'mother' all forms of living plants,
trees and flowers. Without the enrichment of Water, Earth
is dry and useless. Without the Earth to moisten, Water's
course is aimless and equally useless. These two elements
were designed each to need the other. But too much Water
can turn Earth into mud or quicksand - and too little
Water can be lost, can disappear within the mountainous
masses of Earth. The outcome is determined by choice,
which lies equally with both individuals.
AIR and WATER
Air penetrates Water...stirs it, churns it into lashing
waves...then moves away... an infiltration or attack over
which Water has no control. When Water penetrates Air in
the Form of moisture, it causes Air to be heavy. But, in
the process, it also brings to all of nature the blessed
relief of rain, magically changing Air into its own
element, a transmutation over which Air has no control.
In the final analysis, there is no choice of outcome for
either individual -- only through Destiny's Higher Will.
