"There are four elements-fire, earth, air, and water-that exist in nature and within us all. Each of us has a unique constellation of the four elements inside of us that manifest in distinct ways in different areas of our lives. You may be fiery when challenged at work but grounded in earthy routine when it comes to your health. Many of us are disconnected from our own natures, caught up in the digital demands of the modern world, hurtling headlong through fast-paced, busy lives. But these four elements, when used with intention, offer up indispensable wisdom for both surviving and thriving. Psychological astrologer Dr. Jennifer Freed is here to help you live a life in which you fully express your gifts, one in which you develop your strengths and make the unique contributions to your community only you can make. This book is a 12-part journey to make your most exciting possibilities a reality, guided by your distinct balance of the four elements. Each chapter will delve into the interplay of elements within a specific domain of life (at home or at work, in relationships and friendships, in parenting, health and spirituality), based on the astrological house system. If you have your birth chart handy, you can consult it for deeper understanding of the way the stars influence your destiny. But don't worry: this guide is accessible to everyone, whether you have astrological knowledge or not. By balancing the elements within us, we can find the antidote to emptiness, anxiety, and sadness and truly flourish"--
