In Europe most people think that their future is written on a piece of paper that appears in the weekly gossip magazine, we call: Zodiac Signs. Probably if we lived in China and our personality our future would be determined by the theory of the five elements ,in this culture think the personality and body of each is made of this five.
Now I want to find similarities between my zodiac sign: Gemini and the component that determines my life: Fire. Geminis are looking to live life intensely, trying to learn from each new person or circumstance we find on the road day by day. Geminis are dreamers, restless, we like to meet all cultures and countries of the world .
In Chinese culture,the fire element identifies people, unpredictable, with strong opinions and risk takers.
At the end, after reading the different personalities, I think the Chinese theory defines very generic forms of the European people. The zodiac signs are more related to the seasons and the months especially. Also our mood is determined by the temperature and the amount of sunlight are reciving, greatly in mediterranean countries and , any theory talks about it.

In Europe is very common to find your horoscope in magazines and newspapers. Only with your date of birth you can know how your personality is, if you don’t know it yet. However, Japanese culture uses a very different form for us: Our blood types. They do believe that this system can describe much better your personality than our traditional horoscope. In my case, my zodiac sign and my blood type are very similar, but others won’t be.
According to both of them, I’m an organized and patient person. Also I can be a little obsessive with cleaning and perfection. About my worst traits, they say is not easy for me to share my feelings with people around me. Even so, my blood type says things which aren’t mention in my horoscope and backwards. For example, my zodiac says I can be a creative person since my sensitivity, but not my blood type. For these reasons, there is only a good way to know how your personality is: Just be yourself.

I was born the eighteen of january, my sign is capricorn. In relation to the five elements, the element that is more near to me is the Earth element. Now I describe that They say about the personality.
The first one, the capricorns according to many webs, They are go-getter and ambitius people, they are practicals, calms and the have good mood but they are sometimes shy and introspective. In their jobs they are very responsibles, professionals, but they are hotheads with a hard situation. Sometimes these people are a bit selfish with others. They demand very much from others and themselves They are hard workers and They try to do his job until The finish it. They are sincere and respect with the autority, they are very organizated and disciplined. The second one, the Earth element describe this persons how an easygoing, nurturing person. Person that think in others, the like to collect and is very difficult that they change his minds.
Finally I think that I have things from both astrology signs. Capricorn sign is more like me. I think I am systematic, hothead, and disciplined, too I have good mood because I laugh a lot. From the earth element I like to collect comics, books, cds. I don´t have sons but with my nieces I am overprotective. I am a bit stubborn because it´s difficult to me sometimes change my thinking.

If I compare the characteristics that define the sign of Taurus and those which define the element of Earth, I think both could fit me but I feel more identified with Taurus sign.
If I search the internet looking for the main characteristics of Taurus, as a horoscope sign, words like practical, strongwilled, calm, tradition, stability, constant will appear in most of the web sites. When I think of me, and try to summarize my own personality, all these words could be included. In the other hand, as negative aspects of personality, I could find words like stubborn, proud, jealous, lazy, etc. All right, I must admit, they also fit with my personality. But I try to see them from a positive point of view. Even the color assigned to Taurus is my favorite color, blue.
Also, I if search the internet looking for some characteristics of the Earth element, I could find words like stability, family, security. They are very similar to those related with Taurus sign. Then, Earth element also fits my personality. But one thing of Earth doesn´t fit me, the yellow color. Definitively it´s not my favorite color.
Perhaps I´m more used to the Horoscope Signs because I´ve heard about them all my life. The Five Elements are part of the Chinese Tradition and they aren´t kown in Spain as the Horoscope Signs. So this might be the reason why I fell more identified with Taurus Sign than with Earth Element.

Long time ago I red my horoscope’s description at the “Red Book of the Horoscopes”. I remember that the Aries woman was described as Scarlet O’Hara in “Gone with the win” when she gets up her right arm saying “I swear that I will never be hungry again”. I felt very well identified with the comparison, since when I have in mind something I work with all my resources to get it.
Aries women are described as adventurous and energetic, pioneering and brave, and often demonstrate enthusiasm for things. They are impulsive and sometimes have little patience. They also like to give its support to a good cause, and they don’t support tyrants. I feel completely identified with this description, even if over the years, I lost a little of this passion spirit and I have won some relax.
Concerning the Five Elements of the Chinese culture I can find a little of me in each element but no one fixes me entirely. According to the description above the element fixing me the best would be Fire, describing as optimistic, energetic, risk takers, passionate people who love excitement and change….. However in the test I did, the element I got was Metal, where I can find some similarities when saying “… work better in disciplined, organised environments..” and I can also find something fixing not at all my character, for example when saying : “…prefer simplicity in their surroundings…” given that I like to have my things (many) with me.

My horoscope is cancer. People born under the sign of cancer are shy and introvert. They need the sympathy and charity from others. They choose their friends with a big dose of sensibility but whenever they get along with someone they show themselves as demanding and exigent.
Cancer people are persons you can trust because of their discretion in things they do and their prudence.
Cancer is very sensitive and vulnerable even though they seem to be very strong. They tend to be sentimental and emotional. They usually like helping others. Women cancer love to be mothers and have a deep feeling of giving protection to others although their main default is they are possessive and jealous.
Cancer people represent sensibility, maternity, sympathy and tenacity. They love their home. It is said that they are under influence of the moon and have contradictory trends which explains their different vocations. They can be good poets, artists, nurses, etc
In the Nature, their sing is water which would explain their tenacity to reach their goals, the same way that water erodes gradually the strongest rocks so that the rock is destroyed at the end.
Compared with the chinese horoscope, I would say that I have a little bit of different elements. I'm Wood because I'm happy to help others, I also have something of Earth because I'm easygoing, protective and rarely lost my temper and as the same time my dominant element could be also Water because I tend to be peaceful and introspective, I value my privacy and rarely share my thoughts and feelings with others.

Beach and mountain
I like both. I think each one has a especial side and we can enjoy them in a different ways. In the first time, at the beach we have: good weather, we can stay lied under the sun, we can play different sports like voleyball, football or wáter sports. Also you can relax and enjoy on a boat. Also you can drink tropical juice or cocktail on the pool or near the beach. And you can bread this especial fragance from the ocean and to listen the surfs.
On the other hand, mountains are more for people who like adventure, extreme sports like skiing, hiking, trekking,..But we can also relax at the mountain, for example when we ski, you can take a coffee or a sweet chocolate between trees and admire the landscape around you. You can also listen the nature around you, maybe birds, bears but those are a little dangereous.
