Pancha Bhootas are 5 natural elements - They are FIRE, EARTH, WATER, AIR and SKY (ETHER)
In south india these 5 elements are manifested in following five grand Shiva temples.
The five virtues - Anger, Ego, Pride, Lust and Attachment are very much related to the five elements. The elements are depicting the above virtures, as under -
FIRE (agni) -ANGER - Tiruvannamalai,

Anger , Ego , Pride , Lust and Attachment are not virtues , but sins.The elements are in no way related to them as these qualitis are the abstract qaulities of the mind caused by the erring senses , that misquide the brain into them as a prelude to destruction..
Fire burns all sins to ashes .Water washes them away , earth digests them, Sky markes them as illusory and air blows them up and away.

Five elements vary from nation to nation---China, Japan, Newzeland& India. THough we attribute 5 virtues to 5 elements It is not UNIVERSAL .

I only know of the four elements, and fire obviously parallels angers, not sure about the others though.
Here's my guess . . .
Fire = Anger
Water = Lust
Earth = Pride
Air = Attachment

I think, but I'm not certain Air represents thought. Fire I think is desire. Water I know represents emotions, and Earth I think represents stability/foundation.

No they are totally different :
Earth - "Bhoomi" -BHA--
Sky - "Gagan" - GA
Air - "Vaayu" -WA
Fire - "Agni" - AA
Water- Neer - N
Means Five Elements : Paanch Tatwa : BHAGWAN

Friend,
I do not think they have any connection to the five elements.
what you have stated are mano vikaaraas.They are all connected to mind.

Bhoomi being earth creates ego
Aap is water, so it creates attachment
Anala is fire, so definitely anger
Anila being wind god creates love
Nabha is atmosphere , which is pride
But Jealousy??

no - the five elements are earth, fire, water, air and spirit- not even comparable.
