Element Associated With Negative Signs
Earth and Water are the elements attached to those who are in the negative sign. Earth is the element of Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Water is the element of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. Elements are the basic traits of the signs. They reveal the fundamental aspects of the personality. “Water signs are attuned to waves of emotion, and often seem to have a built-in sonar for reading a mood. This gives them a special sensitivity in relationships, knowing when to show warmth and when to hold back. At their best, they are a healing force that bring people together -- at their worst, they are psychic vampires, able to manipulate and drain the life force of the closest to them”. Hall explains that water signs are more in tune with their emotions and are comfortable showing them. Water signs bring a certain presence to a situation; they seek out the problem and fix it. “Earth signs are sensual, meaning they engage with life through the five senses. It takes time to sense the dense physical world, and earth signs can operate at a slower, more thorough pace than the other elements. Theyʼre oriented toward whatʼs real, and often this makes them very productive, able to create tangible results.” Earth signs are described by Hall as earthy people. These signs focus on the things that connect us to the earth: things which bring peace, as opposed to focusing on the material world.

Famous quotes containing the words element, negative and/or signs:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”

“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.”
—Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)
