The standard correspondences are:

        air   - east
        fire  - south
        water - west
        earth - north

Many traditions will move the correspondences around to better
suit their locales.  For instance, most northern hemisphere folks
would attribute the south with fire (the sun is always more
in the south than the north), while Australians would go vice
versa.  If you're in the British Isles, the water=west makes
sense (the Atlantic Ocean being a fairly large source of water),
but if you're on the east coast of the US, you might do water=east
instead.
