Air corresponds with the direction east, sits facing emotion, and representing the mind, thought and intelligence. It is the power to convey thought across time and space, mental capacity and imagination. It is the never-ending learning process, knowledge and wisdom. Air is the power of knowing, reflecting, debating. It holds the ability to communicate thought with or without delusion, transformation or corruption. Air is the ability to soar within unlimited skies.
All elements are connected and intertwined with each other. Air is bordered by Earth and Fire, where as it sustains the needs of both, it is also the result of their combination. As fire burns, Air fuels it, is consumed by it, and then altered and released. As with Earth requires Air, it also consumes it, alters it and releases it back.
The polaric side of Air is that it is also torrid, hurricanes, tornados, ripping apart and terrorizing. It is the paranoid mind, sweating in its own delusion, panic attacks, the voices you hear in your head. Nervous breakdowns, depression, your own thoughts turning against you - it is the epitamy of self-delusion, and the mind deceiving the body.
