Each element is aligned with the Wheel of the Year along with many other associations. I primarily work with the elements, which explains the grouping by elements but there is nothing to stop you choosing a different association to group these all by. If you primarily work with one of the given associations, then consider this a list for those associations. As with most things, you will probably find varying associations the more you read and explore - changes are usually made following years of personal practice and to provide others with the foundational perspective of the practitioner.
Please be aware that this is in no way a comprehensive list of associations. You will probably know by now that I am not a great fan of association lists as they should come from personal practice - but they are a good starting point. You are fully expected to adapt, add and subtract these associations as you walk your spiritual path.

Theme: In the Air element we see clarity, wisdom and communication. We are prompted to be mindful with our words and actions. Air holds the theme of practicality, problem-solving and logic. Here we write the plans, gather the resources, fill our knowledge gaps and start work towards obtaining results. This is a phase of prior planning and preparation. Agriculturally we would be preparing the land, sowing seeds and watching them sprout as the ground warms.
Air in Excess: Impulsive, frivolous, spontaneous.

Air in Deficit: Pessimistic, stagnant, thoughtless.
