North is traditionally associated with the element of earth, as these traditions come from the northern hemisphere, where darkness and the Arctic exist to the north. In the southern hemisphere, the equator is to the north: this means that north-facing areas receive daytime sun, and the further north you go, the warmer the climate gets - As such, north = fire for me.
