Im new. I know nothing about astrology, but i really really want to learn...so im so excited about being here!!!

My birth data is: October 23 1980, Camden, NSW, Australia, at 5:40am.

So i think my sun is in Libra... everyone used to tell me to read both libra and scorpio signs as i am on the cusp, but i think with my birth time it is Libra, am i right? Think my moon is Aries? and that my Ascendant is Scorpio... which would not suprise me, as when i used to look at both Libra and Scorpio signs i felt i could have some scorpian traits.
But im certain i am a libra!!! (which i proberly just demonstrated by having a mini debate with myself here!!! hehe)

But im really not sure!!! If this is right then I am Sun-Air, Moon-Fire, Ascendant-Water. So what does that mean?

I just wanna make sure i have this info right in the first class

Thanx, Jax.

ok coming to the questions asked in the start..

Fire

2. How do you feel this element expresses it’s self in your daily life?

Vibrant energy, enthusiasm, optimism, passion, temper, lask of patience, can take risks,,,n yes honesty and straight forwardness!

3. In terms of compatibility, signs are considered compatible if they belong to the same element. Do you agree or disagree?

I have found compatibility with fire and earth signs..

4. Have you seen this in your own life?

Yes

Welcome to the course. I had so much fun lo those many years ago when I first started learning astrology. I wanted to tell you that if your ascendant is Capricorn, it is an Earth sign.

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius are Fire
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are Earth
Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are Air
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are Water

This may explain why you get along with Fire and Earth signs

Fire:sun(A),moon(A),mars(L),neptune(S) (4)
water:mercury(P),uranus(S), (2)
Air: venus(G), pluto(L) (2)
earth:jupiter(V),saturn (v), (2)

so i hv 4 fires, n 2 of each of the rest

I just joined the course today and am hooked already!!
I'm a Sag (10 Dec 69) born 09:45am Fulham, London, England. As a typical Sag I'm keen to learn and understand all I can on this subject.

So i am primarily air.... but with three personal planets in water signs, i feel the effects of the water greatly.... "i feel" (need i say more)... not much fire, and i notice it physically...i need a bit more get up and go... same with the earth... i am rather scattered, i have a problem keeping up with my day to day chores, i am scattered a lot (literally) and i get lost in my thoughts and feelings....

interestingly enough, most of my friends are Aries, Leos, Capricorns and Geminis... i went through a faze of Libra boyfriends when i was younger...but for the last while if has been Capricorns who have captured my heart.
(i have beautiful friends in all the signs and elements i guess, but i have mentioned the multiple numbers only)
I am the product of a Water mother and Air Father...
I don't know what to say about the compatibility thing.... my experience has been all over the board... i know i have a STRONG affinity with the above-mentioned signs.

For me..... overall I tend to attract other Virgo's - but that's really women friends also a lot of Scorpio women friends. Re men - I tend to attract Aquarian's -which "on the face of it" is not the best match for me but interestingly enough they all have had Sagittarius Rising - so their Ascendant has always been conjunct my Sagittarius Moon...

I'm a Virgo and my chart is mainly earth & fire. I only have one planet in water (Uranus) but an interesting thing about elements is that you also should look at the amount of natal planets you actually have in the natural element home.
Using myself as an example. Although I only have one planet in water - the other planets in my natal chart are mostly in the 4th, 8th & 12th which are the natural water houses. So on first look at my chart, the lack of water jumps out...but on a closer look I have a strong water influence due to the planets I have in the natural water houses. Does that make sense? Hope so.

Which houses are your natal planets in? Are they "loaded" in the houses of a particular element? It does add depth & insight to your chart.

Not sure if you already know but the natural elements of the different houses are as follows....

Fire = 1st, 5th, 9th
Earth = 2nd, 6th, 10th
Air = 3rd, 7th, 11th
Water = 4th, 8th, 12th

Pisces sun and asc.
I have a lot of water, about the same amount of air and fire and no earth. In my daily life i am constantly trying to escape the battering of my sensitive water nature. I am extremely sensitive to sound, but most significantly am often overwhelmed around people as I can feel their every mood extrememly deeply. I need alot of space from abrasive, unhappy, angry or negative people. My family are most accustomed to my "escaping" from them.

I am very emotional but not very comfortable with this aspect of myself and often hide by being 'mysterious' or pretending im extrememly unemotional (deceptive pisces sun). It will not surprise you that i have 3 planets (sun,venus,mercury) and asc in my 12th house. escapism and seclusion abounds!

I have learned to listen to my intuition and just 'trust what i know' even though i may not be able to explain it. i am artistic and love beauty in all its forms. I love listening to people on a deeper level and in my element being understanding and sympathetic.

As for compatibility with other signs i find water signs calming and easy to be around - 2 ex-boyfriends cancer. I find my shackles prickling constantly with fire signs - i find them harsh and too 'in my face'. a couple of aries ive know have been very concerned with their "image" to others - and ive found them fake. My parents are both fire - it has not been an easy upbringing for (over?)sensitive me.

The love of my life (to this point - we're not together now) was an aries, and although we had a lot of clashes and he exasperated me there was a lot of passion and a deep connection and emotional understanding - i always wonder if i'll find this again, and it doesnt really make sense to me astrologically. Maybe its an 'opposites attract' and a learning and growing exercise?

I find earth signs yes dependable etc.. but also boring and materialistic. I had an unpleasant clash with a 'hard-jawed' aquarius at work.

no

i'd say intuitive... very much a gut instinct person.....

i've had some interesting dreams, and i saw a fairy zipping around my house twice, a couple of years ago....
there's been some profound spiritual experiences... stuff i can't explain.
i practice reiki as well... and i am practicing communicating with nature (my dogs, trees, birds, bugs, etc)

but i wouldn't say that i am psychic.

Sun - Gemini (air)
Moon - Virgo (earth)
Mercury - Gemini (air)
Venus - Cancer (water)
Mars - cusp of Leo and Virgo (fire/earth)
Jupiter - Cancer (water)
Saturn - Leo (fire)
Uranus - Scorpio (water)
Neptune - Sagittarius (fire)
Pluto - Libra (air)
Ascendant - Sagittarius (fire)
so that gives me 3 fire, 3 water, 3 air and 1 earth and stuck between fire and earth
which I guess means that I can fluctuate from 4 fire 3 air 3 water one earth to 3 fire 3 air 3 water and 2 earth, which I guess is a pretty good balance.

Sun - air + air
Moon - earth + fire
Mercury - air + air
Venus - water + water
Mars - fire/earth + fire
Jupiter - water + air
Saturn - fire + fire
Uranus - water + air
Neptune - fire + fire
Pluto - air + earth
Ascendant - fire + determines houses so does not have house element?

ok, so I have these pairings:
2 air+air
1 water+water
2(3) Fire+fire
1(2) earth+fire
2 water+air
1 air+earth
with the two in parenthesis being affected by Mars being on the cusp between signs and so that element is subject to change

Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter and in house of Libra for trinity of air

Moon, Mars, and Saturn are in house of Sagitarius for a trinity of fire

Venus in house of Scorpio for water
Uranus in house of Aquarius for air
Neptune in house of Aries for fire
Pluto in house of Capricorn for earth

which would mean that at least one indepentent planet in each element, plus two teams of three one for fire and one for air. which would clearly indicate the fire air dominance.
