Jim’s Cafe - Wed.Jan.28, 2026

[JMG]

Hey everyone, thought I’d post a cafe for today, been missing seeing a new one so thought others might be too. Today’s theme is elements.



That’s a chart of the 4 elements and also the astrological signs that go with them. If you aren’t into astrology or otherwise don’t believe in it, then feel free to just talk about whichever element is your favorite, or any other positive/uplifting kinds of things. I’ll put a few questions too, no pressure to answer them if you’d rather not. Wishing everyone a nice day.

1. Do you know which element you are in astrology? If you do, which element are you?
2. What is your favorite of the 4 elements?
3. Do you believe in astrology?
4. Talk about anything at least somewhat positive here, the goal of the cafes is to be fairly “light-hearted” so something even a bit uplifting is ideal

My answers to the questions.

1. Do you know which element you are in astrology? If you do, which element are you?
Yup, I’m an earth sign (Virgo).

2. What is your favorite of the 4 elements?
It’s pretty hard for me to pick in a way cos I like them all in different ways. I guess I pick water though.

3. Do you believe in astrology?
Yup, I have since I was a kid really. I find it really interesting.

4. Talk about anything…
Feeling fairly neutral right now, even somewhat peaceful and content. Buying a couple things online yesterday helped that a bit, and just being able to relax over the last couple days.
Hoping for the best with some stuff this year, very hard to know how it will all ultimately go. Whatever does happen, I feel confident that I will find a way to deal with it.

Thanks for opening the cafe and tagging me @JMG

I not sure I believe in astrology, but I always relate the elements to greek mytholgy. I have good memories of watching the Sinbad movies as a kid. I think I like all the elements. Looking at your pictures it seems I am fire, which sometimes I feel like I am on fire, so that kind of makes sense.

@JMG
To answer your questions:
(1) My element is fire but I actually don't like it because fire symbolizes passion, and I am an Unemotional person as I practice Stoicism. Are you familiar with Stoicism?

(2) I guess my favorite element would be water because of its lesson of going with the flow. That is, to go with the flow rather than to resist the bad things, because resistance only worsens the pain, if you know what I mean. Anyway this is what I've learned from Buddhism.

(3) Yes, I believe astrology has something to it. At least it's No different from all the different religions, right?

(4) To add to your topic of divination, let me also add Palm-reading. I've been studying palmistry for quite a number of years and have found some help in the readings. Contrary to what most people believe mistakenly, the Palm lines actually change as you grow older. So they have to be checked at intervals.

Thank you for opening the cafe and for the tag @JMG

1. Do you know which element you are in astrology? If you do, which element are you?
Yes, I'm a water sign, specifically Pisces.

2. What is your favorite of the 4 elements?
I'd probably still pick water.

3. Do you believe in astrology?
I really think there's a lot of it that makes sense.

4. Talk about anything at least somewhat positive here, the goal of the cafes is to be fairly “light-hearted” so something even a bit uplifting is ideal
Positive, haven't been feeling that much lately, but I've been making more vids and that's always fun.

 

[cymbele]

Thanks for opening @JMG I haven't been feeling well enough to open a cafe see more below

1. Do you know which element you are in astrology? If you do, which element are you? I am a Leo so Fire.

2. What is your favorite of the 4 elements? I don't necessarily have a favorite
3. Do you believe in astrology? I used to follow it but if you combine it with the Chinese years of personalities it sounds kind of hokey.
4. Talk about anything at least somewhat positive here, the goal of the cafes is to be fairly “light-hearted” so something even a bit uplifting is ideal

I have little to say uplifting as the pain in my hip is ongoing but I have asked for the surgery for September. I am however, taking a Photoshop course and loving it. Except for the hip pain I am rather content.

Thank you for opening and adding a fun twist. Also thank you for the tag.

1. my element is Air

2.Water (especially flowing/moving) is my most favorite element. As it gives me strength and energy, calms me and de stresses me. Fire is a close 2nd. There is so much power in all elements... a natural beauty that needs to be respected or it can have unbelievable consequences.

3. i think there is something to it because it wouldn't have lasted this long if there wasn't. However i don't believe it rules our lives. Mostly for me... it's fun.

4. Blue is n amazing color to me! Just thought i would throw that in there.

Thank you everyone who’s replied so far, I’ve enjoyed reading everyone’s replies. Hope I didn’t seem too demanding with the 4th question with saying to please talk about something fairly positive/uplifting, I mostly put that so it wouldn’t just be a space where people talked about negative/depressing stuff or said things like “life sucks, I hate it” or that kind of thing lol :p But feel free to vent about things, especially if you feel that talking about it will help a bit

@Winslow - I’m not very familiar with stoicism, no. I’ve heard of it but never looked it up, I should though cos it sounds interesting. That’s great that you practice it though. Very interesting with the palm lines changing over time too, I always wondered about that.

Sorry to hear about the hip pain cymbele, I hope it will be better soon. That’s good you’ll be getting surgery for it in September, hope that will help the pain stop. Glad things are good otherwise though.

AmberMarie - I love the color blue too for sure, it’s great

Hello cafe, what nice vibes this evening @JMG

Thank you for the tag @Inastorm.

1. & 2. Not really ever paid attention but as far as I can guess my element would be water, just because I love it so much

3. No, but the things that people have believed in for a long time do matter, so in that context, yes sort of.

4. I'm pleased with the work I've done this week, which contributes to a better mood and less anxiety. Also, it is raining, which I like for how it feels, the air gets a bit cleaner around here, and the sound of it on the roof at night.

 

[Fbr27]

1 - By the image, I'm water.

2 - I wish I was more like Fire I guess.

3 - Not really. But the odd thing is that I fit 100% inside the astrological definition of a Cancer person.

4 - Well, I guess my mind entered in this plateau of boringness these days. Better than being miserable.

 

[KM76710]

1. Do you know which element you are in astrology? If you do, which element are you?

I am Sagittarius, so fire.

2. What is your favorite of the 4 elements?

Earth is more of my favorite with the grounded, practical and level headed. I do fit the confident and independent portion of Fire.

3. Do you believe in astrology?

I never have, but it can be entertaining to read.

4. Talk about anything at least somewhat positive here, the goal of the cafes is to be fairly “light-hearted” so something even a bit uplifting is ideal.

I am just hoping that the new year will go better and for good for myself and all others here. So much of this past year had me wondering when I took the exit to The Twilight Zone with some of the happenings in the past 12 months.

 

[FFurry]

Thanks @JMG ! I can't say I've relied on astrology much, but if it worked for Nancy Reagan, maybe it can work for me 🤔🤨😂

1. Do you know which element you are in astrology? If you do, which element are you? I am 🔥!
2. What is your favorite of the 4 elements? I may be 🔥, but I prefer 💧.
3. Do you believe in astrology? Not as a science, but certainly as a guiding force of sorts or something 😂
4. Talk about anything at least somewhat positive here, the goal of the cafes is to be fairly “light-hearted” so something even a bit uplifting is ideal Speaking of💧, I can use a drink.

 

[Baywasp]

Thanks for the tag @JMG
I’m an air sign (Gemini). Looking at that graphic, I definitely identify with the last 3 adjectives for air, but less so for the first 2.
I don’t really have a favorite element because it’s not really something I’ve thought about.
I don’t believe at all in astrology, but it’s fun to play with anyway.
Been thinking a ton about my upcoming trip to Montreal lately. It’s in a little over 2 weeks. I’m so excited.

 

[Windhover]

lol totally thanks for making me laught @FFurry

 

[Deadsoon]

Thank you for the tag @Inastorm.

1. Air( Aquarius)
2. I don’t have a favorite element; they all describe human personality and behavior.
3. After looking more into it during Covid, I would say no. It’s only for entertainment. All the traits can be applied to anyone, and many different factors come into play in shaping who a person is.
4. I will say I hope everyone here can finally get a win this year with whatever they're going through in their lives.

Hi fellow Virgo. What are your rising and moon signs. ? I like some astrology and find Vedic astrology also interesting, it’s some different than western style. And water represents emotions in several practices along with its other meanings. It’s my go to element as well. Thanks!💦

 

[JMG]

Hey Janis, thanks for replying.
Rising is Leo, moon is Aquarius. How about you? That’s cool your sun sign is Virgo too.
I don’t know anything about Vedic astrology but I think I heard of it before at least. I should look that up and find out more about it.
Hope you’re well.
