The bath was the most effective (of course). But I started thinking while laying there trying to clear my head -- water is ALWAYS the most soothing for me. Being near water, surrounded by water, swimming in water... whatever form, I am always soothed and renewed by it.

I am a Cap Sun, but with Venus and Mars in Pisces. My rising and moon are both air signs (libra, aquarius), so perhaps I live off of my Venus and Mars the most (artist).

Regardless, water is my secret to healing.

What element are you drawn to?

Does seeing Fire crackle make you feel strengthened?

Does air - breeze, flying, etc - help you release your demons and feel free?

Is the Earth grounding for you?

Or, are you like me - in need of water for all of these things?

And, what sign in your chart do you think is responsible for this?

I generally love the sky, be it day or night, and that would be air. One of my happiest memories is where I went wind surfing, and while that may seem a water thing, what made it so special was the wind...and then the clouds clearing to let the sun through which turned the waters from misty grey to bright aqua, and I screamed with the joy of life, and my feeling was that when I died I'd think all the pain in my life was worth it for that one ineffable moment.

Another memory was walking in the hills, and the clouds and sun so perfect, and the breeze flowing around me while making the trees and flowers sway hypnotically. I spread my arms and just EXULTED in being alive. (I've done that a few times, at least.)

As I think of autumnal leaves, how crisp and bluer they make the sky seem, it's just not complete without the leaves rattling in the wind.

And then there's fire. Yes, I like candles and flames...in my dreams I'm sometimes pyrokinetic (though I also have nightmares of fire chasing me).

But for real fire, I'd say that's my athletic hobbies and workout routine, especially when I go into the sauna, which I turn all the way up. I go in, sweat buckets, get out, take a cold shower (it's a moment of pain and then ecstasy, and nothing like it, not even sex, to know I'm alive) and then back to the sauna.

As a Cap sun I love hiking, and under stress my first instinct is to go for a long walk, preferably in a forest.

But still...I suppose water prevails.

Long baths, walking in rainstorms, sailing, night swimming...

And just drinking a lot of hot tea.

When I meditate I like to imagine myself resting on the side of a grass-covered hills

I love earth. I suppose that's where my love for woodwork, metalwork, earth gemstones and rocks comes from. I somewhat identify with the image of the dwarves, mining and creating lovey things.

Love gardens, flowers, fruit orchards, forests, hills, mountains... etc... Love the scent of earth/soil. Love rubbing the soil between my fingers and feel its texture.

I'm a cap sun, with a chart full of earth placements.

I have some fire placements and I suppose I like fire, like bonfire, fireworks and whatnot. But they don'y comfort me and make me feel "connected" the way earth does.

This is the relationship I have always felt I am 'Supposed' to have with the Earth... but can never quite connect the way I want to with it.

My Moon is in 3rd and so I am adapt at communicating how I feel. So usually after talking it out, I feel better.

Sometimes I want to be around a social atmosphere with the noise of chatter around me.

Not necessarily taking part per se. But just being in the "mix" of it.

I am a fire void!

Maybe an earth+water thing because how life is said to be created from the earth and also said to have emerged from water? Or maybe someone who is balanced in all elements? The fire of life and the air it breathes?

Generally both water and earth calm me the most..but with water, it's generally only the ocean and waterfalls that calm me. Moving, natural water.

I'm gonna go with earth. I love being around plants..fields..mountains..meadows..trees..sand..hills..it makes me feel safe, secure, and connected. It reminds me that there is life all around me, things going on outside of my own little head. I sense mystery, awe, and strength all wrapped up together when I'm sitting amongst plants and animals.

Capricorn Sun

My chart is all Fire and Water except for my Cap Sun and Neptune. I'm an air void.

I can see them!

I meant drawn to the actual element - not who we attract (person to person). Like, I am drawn to water (flowing water, water in a bath tub, waterfalls, rain, etc.) as a means to soothe my soul.

Fire also relaxes me. Like if I'm sitting around a bonfire with friends or even just lighting a candle in a dark room and watching it, it's soothing. I have no fire planets in my chart so I'm wondering if it soothes me because it's something that's not already in me?

BUT that is interesting you see that consistency!!

Well in that case I would definitely say water. I love seeing water I love taking baths I can stay in the bath for hours. If it wasn't dangerous I'd sleep in my bath tub while its full of water and soap ^_^ as a matter of fact, I've entertained the idea of putting a tv in my bathroom so I can watch tv and movies while I'm in the bath. I live in an apartment now but when I buy a house I'm definitely putting a tv in the master bath. Water soothes and calms me I love hearing it, even when it's raining (as long as I'm inside!) I put some good music on with some heavy bass in it and just relax and think or daydream...yes definitely water <3 I'm pretty sure it's due to all of the heavy Scorpio and water elements in my chart....

Sitting on a sand dune alone at night for hours into the early part of the morning. Watching the Moon, and the moon's light splayed on cresting waves. Flecks of phosphorous looking like speed lightning flashes as the waves form a lip that curls in and their light jumps.
Watching the contrasts of translucence in the wave crests in the night-- displayed by the Moon.
Little sandcrabs that come out to scurry around the sands edges, but freeze and their eyes glow like deer-in-the-headlights when they are alerted suddenly to your presence interrupting their dance there.

Walking through Woods... the incense of leaves, crackle of twigs, the carpets of hues of green brown mosses, the tiny tourmaline and mica flecks imbedded in large granite rocks.

Bugs? ... NO thank you. I generally really don't like bugs~~ haha

Crackling fires that take on properties that look as though they could be touched and not be hot, and live another soft nature, gentle cool of their own. A subtle joy of private liquid purifying substance...

Being with an Other in these senses... Walking in parallel with shared individual sensing, not speaking a word-- just Being IN it and appreciating what is there, along with deeply who.

Venus Taurus 5th

Water houses Scorpio 11 & 12,
Stellium Cancer 8th,
Jupiter-Uranus Cancer sextile Moon Virgo (9).
Mars Cancer.
Sun Gemini in H6
Sag Asc... (intercepted H3/9 Pisces/Virgo)

H7 Mercury Gemini trine Neptune Libra 10th, trine the cusp of 3rd (Aquarius).
H7 MarsCancer trine Neptune.

Saturn in Scorpio depths.

Air, water and earth can exist on their own. Fire needs air and earth to survive, but too much of any of the other elements and it is extinguished. So fragile but so capable of danger.

I am a fire void!

But as for what I need... water. Well, we all NEED water but I just dont think I could live far from the sea. I love the rain, it makes me feel awake and present. I love fog, which is a mix of air and water, which puts water in the air so we can exist within it, so that water can be breathed into our lungs. I think my love for fog is because I have an air sun and water moon. However, water and earth are the top elements in my chart. (They are equal)
