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.
