THE AIR ELEMENT: Logical
GEMINI (May 21-June 21), LIBRA (September 23-October 22), AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18)
The Air element promotes communication, travel,
intellect, eloquence, divination, freedom, wisdom, inspiration and
imagination. The essential oils Lavender, Lemongrass, Peppermint,
Spearmint, Cassia, Rosewood, Tea Tree, Lemon and Myrtle can help you
increase your abilities in this area corresponding to the Air element.
The Air essential oil blend brings you a perfect combination
of these oils to help you get the most from your element and embrace
it.
Air is constantly in motion, even when you can’t see it. This is the
same for the mind of a person with the Air element. Of the four
elements, Air is the most concentrated on thought. You think through
every decision thoroughly and often find clever solutions to difficult
problems. You are studious and scholarly and often see “the big picture”
when others cannot. However, as changeable as the direction of the
wind, Air people can also vary quite drastically. While some are
outgoing, rational and clever, others are scattered, eccentric, and
cold. You excel at multi-tasking, however, be careful as you are also
easily distracted. You have the ability to multi-task but you are
strongest when focused on one problem at a time. Air is also what gives
humans the ability for speech. Because of this you are witty and
entertaining and are a welcomed guest at any party. Be aware that while
you have charm, you sometimes lack social graces. Your focus is placed
so often on logic, that you often overlook feelings. Commitment doesn’t
come naturally to you. Couple this with your sometimes insensitive
nature and it makes relationships very difficult. You are not rooted in
tradition. You go with what makes sense and don’t believe in doing
something because “it’s how it has always been done.” This propensity
for what others see as “radical thinking” and your quick mind makes you a
natural born puppet master. While Fire may be the face of the uprising,
you are the brains behind it.
