Its nice to know your element that you can work with easily, this zodiac element document allows for just that. For you to know your element that you can work with the easiest.
Each Western Zodiac has an element, depending on various. . . variables. The elements are Earth, Fire, Water, and Air, and each is associated with three signs. Note that this will be in order of the sign.
Aries - Fire
Taurus - Earth
Gemini - Air
Cancer - Water
Leo - Fire
Virgo - Earth
Libra - Air
Scorpio - Water
Sagittarius - Fire
Capricorn - Earth
Aquarius - Air
Pisces - Water
According to some mage and witch beliefs, the Western Zodiac element determines the element that you are best at using. . .
However, the Chinese Zodiac also plays a part in elemental power. That element is determined through the number your birth year ends in.
If the year ends in 0 it is Yang Metal.
If the year ends in 1 it is Yin Metal.
If the year ends in 2 it is Yang Water.
If the year ends in 3 it is Yin Water.
If the year ends in 4 it is Yang Wood.
If the year ends in 5 it is Yin Wood.
If the year ends in 6 it is Yang Fire.
If the year ends in 7 it is Yin Fire.
If the year ends in 8 it is Yang Earth.
If the year ends in 9 it is Yin Earth.
So. . . Since I'm a capricorn, and I was born in 1975, I'm Earth and Yin wood.
Wood and Metal are unique elements to the Chinese Zodiac. Wood itself could be Earth Water Air (Trees. Think about that word and you will understand.) And Metal could be Earth Fire Water.
Now, Yin and Yang could play a role in the elemental abilities thing, like if you have one, you are a protector and healer, while if you have another, you are a destroyer. Yin's dark, yang's light. Dark's feminine, light is male.
Anyways, I could also probably go into various aspects of what each basic element does or what it's elemental powers are.
Example : Fire is used in healing, protection, love and lust magics just as often as in combat and cursing.
Also the Zodiac with capricorn/virgo/pisces/etcwhatever, it had more signs than that so it's not always a valid thing. Some people aren't really the sign they think they are, according to traditional Zodiac, since removing the others caused date-displacements for the rest of them. The reason involved things as though, one of them was Spider. Some people didn't like that. Some people take things at such a shallow face value and never look any further. Thanks be to Anonymous.
Elemental Stones
Elemental stones are interesting as they increase the potential with the elemental focus and allow more energy allowance.
They are:
Ruby is fire.
Quartz is earth.
Emerald is air.
Sapphire is water.

The five material agents in Chinese astrology are different from the western astrology as they are wood-fire-earth-metal-water. The non-material agent is air and is just there as its sometime added to wood and metal.
They are grouped in the order by which they produce one another or their progression of change.
Wood gives rise to fire
Fire gives rise to earth
Earth gives rise to metal
Metal gives rise to waterIts nice to know your
Diagram of the relationships of the 5 Chinese elements
Or, as they are grouped in the order by which they are conquered by one another.
Fire is conquered by water.
Water is conquered by earth.
Earth is conquered by wood.
Wood is conquered by metal.
Metal is conquered by fire.
Each of these orders, or the sequence in which they occur, can be used to explain the progression of change in just about everything.
When the modern western physicist talks about the unification of forces (electromagnetic force, strong force, weak force, gravity, etc.), that person is not conceiving these forces as spilling into or conquering one another; this physicist would consider it absurd to apply any of these forces to anything other than mechanical or atomic physics.
The five agents (i.e. Chinese Elements) in Chinese astrology, however, are a metaphysical explanation of the progression of change that is meant to be applied to every phenomenon one encounters in this changing universe: politics, ethics, music, biology, time, seasons, history, etc.
What is important to understand is that these five agents explain everything including the progress of change in the universe.
Associated with the agent wood is the season spring, fire is summer, metal is autumn, and water is winter.
The color green is the color of the wood agent, red the color of fire, yellow the color of earth, white the color of metal, and black the color of water.
The Chinese Elements and Human Anatomy
In Chinese elements and their relationship to the human anatomy, the spleen is ruled by wood, the lungs by fire, the heart by earth, the liver by metal, and the kidneys by water.
If one has a disease of the liver, it is because the liver is being overcome by a fire agent or pathogen. Since fire is overcome by water, one would treat the liver pathogen with a water agent.
This is basically how the system of Chinese medicine and elements works. Using this system of diagnosis Chinese medical practitioners have treated their countrymen for millennia.
