This is one of the early books I read that sent me down the path to a more transformational metholody in astrology readings, and I recommend it to everyone at every level.  An understanding of the elements and the way that channel energy through the personality is invaluable!<\/p>\n<p>At the top of page 123 is a section titled &#8220;Over-Emphasis on Air and Fire, Lack of Water and Earth&#8221;:  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This type at best represents an idealistic, aspiring, positive-thinking person whose intentions and motives are above reproach.  Their approach to life is not particularly realistic, however, and they often find that they must learn about the darker side of life through hard experience and disillusionment.  They often neglect the very needs and feelings which can give them more stability and inner strength.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Coincidentally, this book is available in the bookstore to in the left sidebar!!
