Which Elemental Ruler Are You? Quiz

Adapted from Discovering Your Self Through the Tarot, by Rose Gwain (Inner Traditions, 1994).

Are you a fiery Queen of Wands or an emotional King of Cups? A clear-thinking King of Swords or a practical Queen of Pentacles?

The great psychologist Carl Jung knew that the Court cards of Tarot show types of energy systems inside each person. The pictures on the cards are symbols that express the characteristics of a particularly active energy in us. Take this fascinating quiz to see which archetypal energies are dominant in you.

earth - 12
water - 11
fire - 10
air - 10

I did expect my answers to all be kindoff equal, it always is for me. Maybe because in my astrological chart I have equal amounts of most of the elements, no one is prominent.

Tina Tongen

air - 11, fire - 14, water - 13, earth - 3
I am an aries and I love change, have a lot of energy for new beginnings for sure and passion, creativity, curiosity about many things - but this can also be erratic and overwhelming. My low score in earth does reflect how I am experiencing a lot of change right now - I'm burning full of ideas and flowing like water. It's good for now ;-) As I get older I will most likely become more grounded (for everything there is a season), and I think and feel there is so much for me to learn as the energy keeps moving. :-) This quiz is informative, thanks for posting it.

Phulo ne Amrit ka jaam bheja hai,
Sooraj ne gagan se Salam bheja hai,
Mubarak ho Aapko nayi subhah Meri Jaan,
Tahe-Dil se Humne ye Paigaam bheja hai.
