Karrine Steffans
general characteristics

Karrine Steffans' fundamental needs, values, and orientation towards life are symbolized by the four astrological elements. Each person has their own unique balance of these four basic energies: fire (warmth, inspiration, enthusiasm), earth (practicality, realism, material interests), air (social and intellectual qualities), and water (emotional needs and feelings).

Steffans' "elemental make-up" is described below. Remember that most people are "unbalanced" or lopsided, and if Karrine is lacking or deficient in a certain element (or elements), it simply means that she needs to consciously develop that particular aspect in order to appreciate and/or work harder in that dimension of life.

Sometimes we overestimate the element that we are least endowed with, sensing it as a lack within ourselves, but more often we neglect or ignore it. The qualities described below will be reiterated and explained in more detail in the following pages.

Her common sense and her ability to make use of, enjoy and effectively handle the physical world are Karrine's greatest strengths. She is down-to-earth and capable of managing practical affairs, working and taking care of the business of day-to-day living very well. Karrine Steffans has a strong urge to be useful and productive. For Steffans, the bottom line is practicality: Does it work? Is it functional? What practical purpose does it serve? Theories and speculations mean little to Karrine Steffans unless there is some concrete purpose, some way to use them in the real world.

She is methodical and enjoys, even thrives on, a steady routine. Her first response to anything novel or experimental is caution, resistance, or skepticism. Fundamentally conservative, Karrine Steffans usually makes the best of the status quo rather than venturing into the unknown or making changes that could jeopardize her security in any way. Material security is particularly important to Karrine and her sense of well-being is directly linked with financial assets or knowing that she has a steady, reliable source of income. Karrine Steffans may hold herself back or pass over opportunities simply because she cannot control or know the outcome ahead of time. Patience and persistence are her gifts, and Steffans builds her life on a firm foundation through discipline, work and planning.

Karrine Steffans also has a deep affinity for the natural world and needs to be close to the earth (gardening, camping or working with her hands using natural materials) in order to be at her best.

She is not solely mundane, however. As you will read on the next page, Karrine Steffans' basic earthly common sense is strongly impacted and sometimes overrun by her moods, sympathies and deep instincts which at times may run counter to a purely practical, cut-and-dry approach to a situation.
