But I think introducing two whole new elements will break the lore a bit and throw the balance that exists off. What does everybody else think?

I think adding two new elements would be kind of interesting, but I don't think it would fit. Probably throw things off like you said.
However, I'm not opposed to new summons. :D

Remember how Weyard fell into a coldsnap while the Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter lighthouses were all lit? The elements of water and wind were overpowering earth, and without fire (the Mars Lighthouse) to balance it all the winter was worse than ever. If you think like that it makes sense.

Uranus and Saturn elements? Kickass.

I might switch the roles though. Jupiter and Mercury seem more like "Light" elements than Fire and Earth to me.
I mean, look at it this way. You know the two summons, Haures and Eclipse? Haures is supposed to be something out of hell, and Eclipse is some kind of sky dragon thing. Haures is summoned with earth and fire djinn, and Eclipse is summoned with Mercury and Jupiter djinn.
Besides, the psynergies "Condemn" "Curse" and "haunt" are all Venus based.
[EDIT]Funny how Mercury is the hottest planet in our solar system, yet it's considered the "Water Element".
At least in GoldenSun anyway.

I don't really have a problem with light and dark specialized classes, but yeah, light and dark djinni would throw a pretty big wrench into the class mechanics.

Just my opinion.

Sol Sanctum: Not only the whole luna and sol puzzle, but Sol was obviously the guardian of the Sun = light. Simple.
Then we have Anemos sanctum as well. Anemos were wind gods who had command of each cardinal direction, which corresponded with a season or element. But it was said that Anemos floated away and became a moon. Why would they choose Wind to be the guardian of the elements? (Remember, you have to have all the elemental djinn to get in) I may be reading into this too much, but if you're right about the light and dark thing, I think Anemos will be coming into the picture.

I could see it along with PDM's suggestion of Light/Dark being neutral compared to the other four, but the mechanics of which would be difficult to implement.
Interesting to consider all the same.
