1) Fire. I lack fire. My only fire planet is Jupiter in Leo. My chart is 10% fire I believe. So since I lack it, I love it. Go-getting attitude, charisma, boldness, confidence. I don't lack all these things, they're just harder to get to and feel weird when I put them on. I envy Leo people especially, since most of them tend to take to stardom a bit easier.
2) Air. I myself am double hair--Aquarius Sun, Gemini rising. We're just so witty and charming. I find intellectual pursuits the most fruitful, though I'm clearly biased. I love how detached and rational we are in a society with trigger-haired emotional responses to everything. I think we give the best advice, and are THE BEST in a crisis.
2) Water. I lack water, technically. But my 8th and 12th houses are full, so I'm still very emotional. Double air means I have a harder time expressing these emotions, but a blessed Neptune and Moon trine, and my Gemini writing, means I am able to effectively get emotion across in writing and song. I find unevolved water people to be insufferable, selfish, and moody. The most dangerous combo is an unevolved water person because they drown in suffering (sometimes for no reason) and then try to inflict that nonsense onto others. My Cancer Sun/Scorpio Moon roommate appears sweet, but she has a tendency to make everything about her and her suffering. If you come to her about a problem, she'll find a way to make it about herself. Whereas I may appear bitchy (air, Saturnine), but I actually listen and care and will let you know what you can do to feel better.
Conversely, my mom is a Pisces and is the best. I have another Pisces friend that is very helpful and reliable, a fortifying presence. But these people, I think, just have more self-confidence and aren't forever swaying back and forth in their own emotions. Pisces, as a sign, also being a tad bit more evolved than baby Cancer.
4) Earth. Earth is whatever. The least magical sign to me haha, and I'm SUPER Earth--Capricorn stellium. I enjoy the practicality and stability, and it's a nice marriage to my airy placements. But Earth is so SLOW, and at times BORING. So status and wealth obsessed. My favorite placement of mine is my exalted moon in Taurus, so I like the creature comforts of Earth. But **** if you stay in earth too much, the gravity is unbearable. The indulgence and materialism will get you. I employ Earth most in trying to make moves in my career, and where Leo will get instant stardom, a slow Cap girl like myself just plods her way up the mountain slowly and cautiously. Kind of annoying. Earth people are pretty funny, but at worst are so DRY DRY DRY.
