I am my own antagonistic element.

I've known that as an Aries, I am a fire sign. I wasn't sure which element my (Chinese zodiac) Rat sign was associated with, and thinking it was probably earth, I looked it up. Nope. I'm water.

Doesn't that figure.

I could learn to be water, instead.

No one has taken water_from_fire. There is, however, water_and_fire, who has a new name redirected from waterandfire. Ah, tis spring, a time when an ljer's fancy turns to renaming.
