Fire
Fire is the element of action and transformation. It is my favorite element as it is used to get one going and to “burn out the old.” As with the other elements, using it in moderation and keeping it in balance is the key to a happy and sane wedding. Air helped you brainstorm and dream, earth helped you make practical plans. The element fire helps you to get moving. Think of it as your anti-procrastinator element at your service and use it well. Make a to-do list and start getting the things you know you need to do completed ahead of time. If there are some things that you wanted in your initial brainstorming session that don’t fit into your wedding budget, burn them out (figuratively of course). If there is something you’d love to have but can’t figure out how to do, use the fire element to enlist the help of supportive friends and family. Let the element of fire help you burn up your assumptions about how things “should” be so that you can enjoy your special day. When you come across frustrating situations and obstacles, let the fire element help you continue to blaze your path ahead and move forward.
