Astrology and Elemental Imbalance

Elemental imbalances occur when an individual has a limited element present in their birth chart and most often an excess of another. An unattended imbalance can cause stress of extremes of an element being projected by ones personality (Think of the knights in the Tarot).

Having 10 planets in the natal chart, including the rising sign, we naturally have a high chance of having an elemental imbalance in our birth chart and personality.

An imbalance of elements often looks like a minimum of 2 planets in an element, often seen as only having 2-0 planets missing from being familiar with that elements associations.

Having aspects from planets  that naturally contain the missing elemental energies prominent in the natal chart (example, if you lack air but have many mercury aspects), this can aid the elemental lack, though it will not necessarily bring the elements in ones personality into balance for the planet will still be in an excess sign (example mercury in pisces), and it will still act accordingly to the element it’s placed in.

Fire Signs: Aries/Leo/Sagittarius 

Air Signs: Gemini/Libra/Aquarius 

Earth Signs: Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn 

Water Signs: Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces

How to balance your elements

When we are unbalanced, we either draw others to use (or us to them) to act as an external reflection of the things we lack within ourselves, however, its possible to engage in other activities that can help bring our elemental lack into appropriate balance that can allow for self-healing and improved wellness.

At times due to elemental imbalances in out chart, we may be drawn to another who has excess of the element we lack (even signs) as to experiences a sense of ‘ying and yang’ by interacting with another. You may find you personally may greatly clash with another, yet you are reluctant to part because they seem to ‘fulfil’ you in a way you can’t explain.

For the element you lack the most in your chart, see the table below to find out ways you can help bring the lacking element in your personality.

Mercury in Leo ⛅️

In Leo, Mercury experiences the Sun’s honourable blessings, wearing the Star’s pointy and radiant crown.

Up in Leo’s stage, under the spotlight, this Mercury finds that he easily draws attention to himself whenever he expresses his thoughts. People born under the influence of this Mercury have a beautiful and radiant voice that naturally doesn’t go unnoticed by others, favouring careers like singing and teaching. The Leo mind is creative and burns lightly with sparkling ideas, so the individual may feel like they must share their impressive thoughts in an attempt to make a difference in the world and leave their imprint in some way.

Mercury in Leo is focused on being happy, loving and playful. He loves playing games and may incorporate childlike mannerisms into their language and way of expressing himself. Those with Mercury in Leo may also be quite romantic and enjoy enchanting people through their particular way of talking creatively. Leo’s fixed fire provides stability and confidence for this individual’s mind, producing a self-assured manner of expressing one’s thoughts while also dignifying one’s opinions, which may be hard to alter.

This Mercury sits on the Sun’s throne, surrounded by curtains of red and gold, from which he reigns proudly with a clever smile.

Many, many, many other things not said here

Hello Lilian, do you have any recommendations for basic daily protection? I wear an evil eye, but was wondering if there’s anything else you might recommend that is good for personal safety and the safety of my loved ones. My anxiety is so bad these days and I’m hoping to have a bit of peace of mind. Thank you ❤️

I have quite a few recommendations actually ❤️

First, I would like to point out that the evil eye charm does not actually do anything to protect one from envy or other negative energies; it is simply just a folk charm. We have them everywhere in Greece, though if they actually had some power, so many people would not be getting affected still. So instead, one should use crystals, which act as amulets and talismans since they actually are imbued with spiritual energies and planetary connections (unlike evil eye trinkets). 

I would advise that you use these following stones, and to use as many as you like:

Alexandrite: keep on you in order for it to dispel negative energy out of your body and back to whoever caused it (no matter if it was intentional or not). 

Snowflake Obsidian: carry it on you and touch it before going outside while asking for it to protect your energy. This stone helps keep you grounded and more energized. 

Jet: this stone protects against curses

Black Tourmaline: this stone protects against negative energy and is also a healing stone. In order to use it for healing, you must place it on your bare stomach and slowly turn in around in a circle, then lay it still for about a minute or until your energy feels better. It is good to use this after being around other people, since their negative emotions can get built up inside our astral bodies; this stone takes that away. 

Star Sapphire: this stone acts as a guard against negative energy, but is unable to block all of it

As a note, if any of these stones are on jewelry, you will need to ritually bless the piece of jewelry in order for it to activate the stone.

Stress Relief

Moon, Mars, Saturn, Ceres, 5th house cusp, or 6th house cusp may apply.

The majority of these things may work for everybody but I’m listing them as most effective for specific signs based on their rulerships & such.

ARIES: physical activity / physical exertion through sports, fitness, or sex; thrill & excitement, adrenaline; creativity; dynamic motion (not necessarily of the body, sometimes even driving in a car suffices); decisive action & choice.

TAURUS: relaxation, luxury, indulgence, physical pleasure, sensory stimulation; creativity, art in general, working with the hands; nature, animals; making or listening to music, singing; physical comfort and affection; sleep.

GEMINI: speech, conversation, jokes & humor; variety, distractions, multi-tasking, activating & challenging many parts of the brain/mind at once; absorbing new information, methods, technique, trivia, and so on; background noise.

CANCER: emotional expression (crying, yelling, venting, etc).; nurturing / taking care of others OR being nurtured / taken care of; cuddling, physical affection, cradling / being cradled; sleeping; soft, safe, and comfortable atmospheres.

LEO: no-pressure performance; self-expression in any form (fashion, speech / conversation, creativity & art, etc); praise & encouragement (given or received); self-esteem exercises; positive energizing interpersonal connection.

VIRGO: problem-solving, puzzle-solving, rationalizing, analyzing; cleaning, organizing, doing chores, practicing good hygiene; self-care, nurturing the physical body, making healthy decisions; relaxation, breathing exercises.

LIBRA: expressing their thoughts; beautification (of self or surroundings); partnership, teamwork, receiving or giving advice, harmonious cooperation; diplomatic debates, peaceful social interaction, pleasant conversations.

SCORPIO: intimacy, sex / sexual release, safe emotional bonding; much alone time, privacy, peace & quiet; expressing their emotions somehow, sometimes vicariously; actively debilitating and/or healing the source of their stress.

SAGITTARIUS: getting away from the source of stress in big or little ways (vacation or even just taking a walk); finding meaning in the situation / their feelings, philosophizing; humor, release through laughter, playful banter.

CAPRICORN: dealing with & reducing the source of stress directly; support, encouragement, warmth & attention, being reminded of their worth; concrete rewards; planning, having solid goals & safety nets, priorities; delegating tasks.

AQUARIUS: community, teamwork, widespread cooperation, a large support system, sharing their circumstance with others somehow; knowing their place & value; having an important purpose & a clear vision; understanding, awareness.

PISCES: removing themselves from reality to recharge through dreams, fantasy, art, or substances; creativity, imagination; emotional expression, often through creativity; crystal healing, meditation, chakra readjustment; sleeping.
