I was reading Schwickert's Cornerstones of Astrology and read about a correspondence between the elements earth and water to the feminine/passive and the elements of fire and air to the masculine/active... something I have heard before from other astrologers and occultists, and I was wondering what the origin of this line of thinking was? (If it is known?)
I had the thought that it came from Aristotle, and so I tried to find reference to it in some of his works... while I can find the active<->masculine and passive<->feminine stuff mentioned, I don't see the elemental correspondences? Unless I am missing something, I certainly am not well versed in his work.
Anyone knowledgeable on this that can help me?
