The Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
The element of Earth is associated with money,
financial stability, reliability and substantial things.
The individuals with predominant element of
Earth in their birth charts know how to value their work. They won't
work for law salary nor sell their products cheap. Nevertheless,
sometimes they agree to work for little money, but this is a part of
their well-thought strategy. Sometimes they do so in order to gain
professional experience, establish important contacts and learn the
rules in certain line of business. They learn very quickly and soon
they become experts.
They are proud of their skills, responsibility
and professionalism. Their self-esteem is very high which is why they
don't let anybody to ill-treat them. If their employer doesn't value
their talents, high reliability, hard work and responsibility, they
will quit their job and find a better one. The people with a strong
element of Earth use only their logics and common sense and reject an
emotional approach. Their beliefs are based on facts only. They don't
let anyone manipulate them and they resist any kind of emotional
blackmail of their loved ones. Their biggest ambition in their lives
is to gain financial stability. They desperately need to have certain
amount of money on their bank account. Without it, they feel insecure
and they fear that their world may collide anytime. They know how to
save money and how to cut any unnecessary expenses. Sometimes they
are mean and even greedy. On the other hand, they value things of
good quality. They hate trashiness. They prefer to have less things
e.g. clothes but of good quality. They have an excellent taste in
fashion and art. These people know how to combine colours, fabrics and
designs of clothes, that's why they always look great. The
individuals with strong Earth element are very persistent which
allows them to dedicate themselves to one subject for a long time.
Such approach helps them become an expert and a high skilled
professional. They are also very well-organised.
The individuals with deficiency of Earth
element have difficulties in valuing their work, that's why they
often work for low salaries. They think that money doesn't give
happiness. In their opinion, the satisfaction of doing what they
love, the good atmosphere at work place and good relations with other
colleagues are more important than money. Such people can't save
money as they prefer to enjoy their lives and they don't bother with
financial matters. Even if they earn a lot, money just slip through
their fingers. Due to the lack of the Earth element organisation
issues may arise, such individuals are not able to concentrate on one
task as their mind is distracted on many things at the same time. It
often creates the feeling that they are doing a lot but they don't
achieve much. They get bored quickly so they abandon their work
before achieving anything, e.g. they change their job or even
profession. They don't have enough patience and perseverance
to deepen a subjcet properly. These individuals are not emotionaly
related to the place where they live so they can move easily. They
adapat to new circumstances very quickly. They are not grounded so
they have a lot of good ideals which are not practical. Such
individuals often attract people with strong Earth element because
they give them the basic structure of life and stability. A good idea
of compensating for a shortage of the element of
Earth is spending more time outdoors, especially in the parks,
forests or mountains.
How to calculate the
amount of each element in your natal chart?
The amount of modes and
elements is determined by the positions of the planets in the signs
of the Zodiac but some planets have more influence on the amount of
modes and elements than others. It's easy to count how much of each
mode or element we have in our chart. The most important components
of our chart which give the biggest amount of the certain element or
mode are the Sun, the Moon and the Ascendant. You can give 5 points
for each of them. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are also
important, so you can give 3 points for each of that planet. Uranus,
Neptune and Pluto are less important, so you give only one point for
each of them. Then you count all the points for each mode and
element. If your score is from 0 to 5 points, that means that this
element or mode is missing in your chart. If your score is from 6 to
10 points then you have a good balance of that particular element or
mode. If your score is above 11, you have an excess of some element
or mode.
