"The Classical Elements" by Daniel Taylor

The Classical Elements are a concept in ancient philosophy, science and medicine which refers to the four elements which were believed to make up the universe: Air, Fire, Water and Earth. These elements were thought to be the building blocks of all matter and had both physical and symbolic meanings. Each element was associated with certain Zodiac signs and symbolic meanings, such as Air representing intelligence, communication, and movement, Fire representing passion, energy, and transformation, Water representing emotion, intuition, and flow, and Earth representing stability, practicality, and materiality.
