Earth Earth is our mother (Gaia ). Its as fertile and nurturing as farmland; as moist as soil and as dry as sand. In physical manifestations (such as stones) , Earth represents the densest of the elements. We couldn't exist in this form without the Earth. True Earth-energy exists within ourselves and within the universe at large. |

| People born under the Earth element are serious, logical and methodical. They also possess foresight and excellent deductive powers. They are intelligent and objective and they know where best to direct their resources for the best possible results. With these qualities, they make good planners and administrators. They have the ability to optimize the use of resources and are wise and prudent in financial matters. This has a spill-over effect as they are equally good at handling their own money. People of the Earth element like to keep things in perspective. They are conservative by nature and they rarely blow things out of proportion. Their most common fault however, is that they are too governed by their own interests. They also lack imagination and have too secure an outlook of life. They must find it in themselves to be more adventurous in life. Nevertheless, Earth people will impress others with their sound reasoning, reliability, discipline and steadiness. | |||||
