Me:
Water - Sun (Pisces), Merc (Pisces), Asc (Scorp), Uranus (Scorp)
Earth - Venus (Taurus), Jupiter (Virgo), Saturn (Virgo), Chiron (Taurus)
Air - Moon (Aqua), Pluto (Libra) - my S.Node's also in Aqua
Fire - Mars (Leo), Neptune (Sag) - and my N.Node in Leo

Funny thing - I seem to be most deficient in Fire and Air, but when people know me on a kinda-sorta superficial level (ie, when I was in the Army), they tended to guess that I was a Gemini or an Aries (curiously enough, two signs w/ no planets in my chart). Could that be a house-based thing (Uranus is in my 1st, my Moon in my 3rd)...?

Corri

PS - Cool start to the course.

PPS - Oh, yeah, as far as I get along w/ others heavy in certain elements and/or w/ those suns:
_Water_ - Usu. pert dern well - Cancers can be a bit wet-blanket-y; I'm cool w/ most other Pisces; and Scorps...oh...well, to be perfectly stereotypical, Scorp guys typically knock me for a loop'er'two. If nothing else, they see right into me - this one Scorp guy friend of mine did just that and said, "You know, Corri - you're so soft and feminine beneath it all. You don't seem that way - you seem brash and outgoing (and I do, esp. @ work), but that's not you. You're actually quite emotional." And he had known me for all of a few weeks. Yeah Scorp.
_Earth_- Well, but dern can they be cold and a bit calculating in personal relationships. My Virgo Sis and I are either best buddies or ready to kill one another, and one of my fave uncles is one. Taureans are cool, but we just tend to not even be able to remotely see eye to eye re: material matters (ex - Tau: "Why do you only have one towel?" Me: "I only need one." ... Tau: "I feel so weird - I need to go shopping!" Me: "..."). Cappies are cool - and there's a Cappie guy that won't leave me alone right now - but, like I said, my Gma w/ her Cappie Asc can seem so harsh.
_Air_: Good, as long as it's a superficial thing (although things can get a bit deeper w/ Aquarians; and I know some Air Suns w/ a lot of Earth or Water that get on great w/ me). W/ Gems, like I said, as long as we keep it to banter, it goes well - that being said, they and Aquas seem to be the only ones that go along w/ the goofy, nonsensical word play that I sometimes get into. Aquas tend to be some of my best friends, although they seem genuinely confused when I go through one of my little downtimes. Libras - eh, I dunno - my Pop's one; he initially tried to fit me into a super-logical mold, but after I told him that he's not a sell-out just b/c he's an accountant b/c that's what he *likes* to do, he calmed down a bit and admitted that I'm not...that I'm goofy beyond all aid.
_Fire_ - Mooosst heavily-fire peeps are a bit to much for me in anything resembling the long-term, and after a while I'm sure I'm too sedate for them. I do respect quite a few, though - when they believe something, they do so earnestly and wholeheartedly, and that's cool. But I've noticed that when they believe something they also believe that belief to be IT. But, wait - my best friend through elementary school (we still keep in touch) has a Saggie Sun and Leo Moon ... but she does have Merc and Venus in Scorp and a Cancer Asc.

It's interesting and quite easy to look at it from that "angle" as even with very liitle astrological knowledge most people understand how earth, wind (air) fire and water behave.

For example....
Someone with a lot of Fire and Water in their chart can really burn bright (like a fire) but they can also then put out their own "flames" with the water!
When someone with a lot of fire in their chart gets together with someone who is predominately water.....The water will tend to put out that fire

Amber: you have no water in your chart?! Aquarius is an Air sign!
Poops: the south node should be the exact opposite of the north node. Or have I become wacko?
Oh and me:
3 Water and North Node Pisces = 4
4 Air (M.C Gemini conj. Mercury)
2 Fire Part Fortune Aries= 3
2 Earth and Ascendant = 3

Great Terri! Well done and keep on going, it goes great!

Sun Pisces
Asc Cancer
Moon Leo

Most of my planets are in fire signs, one in air, and none in Earth. Very few plants ever survive in my home.

My friend of over 40 years is Cancer. Another friend of 30 years is Aries.
My mother is Pisces, my dad Leo, my brother Aries. My dad and I clashed a lot when I was younger (I didn't like being told what to do) but I get on well with my brother.

My ex was Aries, I loved his enthusiasm but hated his irritability and short temper. My son is Aries, Leo Asc. My daughter is Scorpio, Aries Asc. I get on well with both of them except when they are together, then I'm in the middle of a war.

Cat checked these for me, but maybe we are mistaken. ( Sorry Cat, I'm not trying to point the blame, I'm just confused now ???? )

So, would it be more likely that my N/N is Aries (4) and my S/N Virgo (10)

When Mercy said that the S/N should be the direct opposite of the N/N or she has gone wacko, I looked at my chart at thought it must be wrong

How embarassment, at least now you can see why I'm doing this course, it's a case of HAVING TOO!:BLUSHING:

I'd better run now and apply those "L" plates again!

Sorry for all the confusion, but I'm an expert at that when it comes to trying to work all this out.......

Maybe I read something wrong in Poops's former post and maybe therefor I spread some confusion. Thought Poops mentioned one of her Nodes being for instance 12 degrees and the other 4 so I was like... ??
That's why. Anyway, now it is CLEAR! Didn't mean to spread such choas!
