The Four Elements: What Happens When an Element Is Missing?

Every astrological chart is built from the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. Each one reveals something essential about how we act, feel, think, relate, create, and move through life.

But what happens when a chart appears to have no planets activating one of these elements?

In this fascinating talk, respected astrologer Alice Portman will explore how astrologers can interpret elemental absence in a birth chart. Rather than seeing a missing element as a weakness, Alice will show how it can reveal powerful patterns, compensations, hidden strengths, and practical pathways for growth.

Drawing on more than 50 years of professional consulting and teaching experience, Alice will share several ways to assess elemental imbalance and offer grounded, practical solutions that can be applied in chart interpretation.

Alice brings a rare breadth of astrological knowledge, with deep experience in Tropical Astrology and long-term study of Vedic and Chinese Astrology. Her work spans mundane, relationship, and genetic astrology, and her decades of client work across cultures and life situations make her a true general practitioner of astrology.

A valuable evening for astrologers of all levels who want to deepen their understanding of the elements and bring more nuance, clarity, and practical insight to chart interpretation.
