Connection Corner

Connections are the centre of our relationships. It is through connections that we learn and grow individually and together. We are all energy and we draw our energy from the month and the year of our birth, which are linked to the elements of Earth, Fire, Water and Air. We can use these elements as a way of having deep connections with our partners. You will notice the birth dates of a family of two people, with their unique birth footprint.

Case Study

Family Member 1 Aries ~ Fire Qualities: Passionate, Dynamic Temperamental Warmth Goat ~ Gold Secondary Qualities: Calm, gentle, sympathetic

Family Member 2 Libra ~ Air Qualities: Action, Ideas and Motion Goat ~ Gold Secondary Qualities: Calm, Gentle, Sympathetic It is exciting when we truly get to know our partner and understand their strengths and our relationship challenges. When we embrace our challenges, we grow and connect together in a deeper and meaningful way. What they both have in common is that they were born in the same year and it happens to be the element of gold. This means that they can create alchemy together. It is even more interesting because one of the elements is fire and the other air, which are the ingredients to melt gold into liquid, creating a fluid motion in a gentle and amical way with a strong sense of kind-heartedness and connectedness. Each element evokes different energy and it is important to be accepting of each element and energy within the relationship. Fire and Air have complementary energy. Fire has high energy when combined with air, as air fuels the fire, although when the fire is low and the embers are burning, it creates warmth and security. The fire energy is dynamic, passionate and warmth, which is connected to air when in high energy mode as it connects with action, ideas and forward motion. The energy of air changes from high (representing gusts of wind) to centred or low (a nice gentle breeze). The air sign in this relationship is the nurturer and is at the centre of change in the relationship. The air sign is like a breath of fresh air when things start to get slow in the relationship. The air sign changes direction just like the breeze, you can’t quite catch the breeze, but they can take you onto the next part of the adventure and journey, you can be swept away with the wind. The challenge is that the fire energy at times can be temperamental, however, the air energy can circulate gently around the fire. Another challenge is that air and fire at times can be too independent of each other, as air goes with the flow, where as fire can be stationary being in one spot. The other challenge is knowing when to mix air with fire, as at times, if the couple are unaware of how much air can stir up the fire energy to an intensity that can be very unhelpful and can take a long time to recover from. Challenges are opportunities and opportunity is at the heart of connection and growth.
