That is because you are all elements.
People may feel a connection to a particular element but that may simply be because you like fire, or like the rain, etc. Yes we are born into an elemental sign but that means pretty much nothing. Everyone is made up of all elements and they should be felt in equal measures.
Again it hould be pointed out that you are all the elements, not just one. But yes, many people base "their element" on their zodiac, but it should be noted that if you do a full natal chart, you will likely have all the elements in it anyway, so that doesn't really matter.
In my personal belief, it doesn`t matter very much what element you are, although your element is what comes to you more naturally. I strongly believe in finding a balance between all the elements and so having said that, I like to include and practise the elements that I don`t feel as close to.
My zodiac says I`m water, but naturally I feel like I`m fire. I feel little to no connection with air at all, so I try to go out of my way to practise it.
We are not one Element, we are composed of all of the Elements. What we truly want to do is learn to work with all of them in balance. It is true that you may find that one or two of the Elements are initially easier to work with. That isn't because they are "your Elements" but because you need to spend more time and effort learning to work with the others that are more difficult for you.
Nor is it true that " your Element " is the Element of the Sign of the Zodiac in which you were born. Anyone who does astrology can tell you that your birth sign is only a portion of what influences your life. Which Houses the other planets fall in also has great influence. Take myself for instance, I was born in Taurus, which is an Earth sign. But I also have planets that fall under Water, Air, and a lot in Fire. So again...I am NOT one Element only.
Which Elements you work with also depends in part on which forms of magic you practice. The classic Elements in Western magic are Earth, Air, Wind, and Fire. Some also add the Element of Spirit to that. In Chinese astrology and magic the Elements are Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth. That's why it is important to understand what you want to work with and in which system you are working because it changes the perceptions regarding the Elements.
