I read in a few books that air and fire hang well together but that fire and water + air and earth do not not hang well at all. While the physical occurance is true, you can extinguish fire with water, astrologically, IMHO, it does not hold at all.
Fire and water belong to the emotional type while air and earth are cerebral. Air and earth hang well together because they both are methodical, organised, think ahead and both are usually scared of emotions and will avoid them if possible, will avoid the dreadful subjects (anything emotional of course). In the other hand, both fire and water are impulsive, passionate, compassionate and both are anti-organisation and anti-planification taking them as anti-romantic, anti-impulsivity (for them impulsivity is a must, if you're not impulsive there is something wrong with you), especially fire who can't stand anything that involves staying still too long, engagements.
Because of this, I can't agree with GD's point of view about the relationship between the elements. My life experience and my knowledge about astrology contradict them. Beside, when I read, I can do it MY way and not follow GD's way. I just ponder if I'm the only one who disagree with it or not an if yes how and why.
