Please post a link to the lesson page.
From the message given at the bottom, I assume it wants:
if "energy" in zodiac_elements:
print(zodiac_elements["energy"])
In a more general case, you’d do:
if key_to_check in zodiac_elements:
print(zodiac_elements[key_to_check])

I’ve reset the lesson and done as Jan above has suggested… Follow the instructions literally and don’t create any new variables.
I appreciate it very much

I was stuck on the Not a Zodiac element part, and it wouldn’t let me progress because I capitalised Element. That took me a while to notice
