An elemental energy is determined by your Sun Sign, based on your date of birth. The elements are the foundation starting line of astrological study, each of these element groups have personality tendencies and the qualities represent individual modes of expression along with the basic state of consciousness and distinct traits for each element. Here are the outlines:
| FIRE | EARTH | AIR | WATER |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aries | Capricorn | Libra | Cancer |
| Leo | Taurus | Aquarius | Scorpio |
| Sagittarius | Virgo | Gemini | Pisces |
FIRE element basic state of consciousness is Righteousness and Fortitude. Their distinct traits are: Passionate, dynamic, temperamental, warm, spark, destructive, high energy, pure.
EARTH element basic state of consciousness is Decorum and Prudence. Their distinct traits are: Grounded, real, solid, stable, loyal, useful, practical, deep, materialistic, builders.

The energy outlines above are often reflected in various artworks, as artists create their works and express their elemental energy through what they visually capture and visually communicate. Here are some brief descriptions of each:
The FIRE element ARTIST: is intuitive with a strong desire and energy that expresses dramatic themes in their art with imagery that reflects movement and colours that are often strong and bold.
The EARTH element ARTIST: is sensory in their expression in so far as their works reflecting the true nature of what they see and in what material they use. Textures and distinctions are often grounded within the work that reflects solid shapes and colours.
The AIR element ARTIST: is an objective thinker that seeks to communicate through their subjects that often involve abstract and or the refinement of conceptual themes, often using colours that allow separate spaces within the artworks.
The WATER element ARTIST: is feeling their way through art and seek to fuse various forms to expand the subject matter or create mythical oneness overall. Fantasy and boundary-less fluid colours are often used to capture and convey their outlook.
Many factors will affect how personal creativity is expressed and how art itself, will manifest but this is an interesting starting point for further research.
