Earth signs can be narrow-minded, materialistic, selfish, sordid, mundane and secretive. They also have sensible material values, are directional, organised and hard-working people, who are great strategists and are very good at getting what they want. Earth signs blend well with other Earth signs and water signs, but it takes tolerance to blend with air and fire signs. Earth comprises one of the elements of the five transforming powers, which also include Fire, Water, Metal and Wood. Earth is the Peacemaker.
Earth represents mothering qualities, harmony, receptivity, humility and servility.
The Earth calls us home, reminding us we belong, that we are safe. She offers a place where we can rest and renew our spirits. People with strong Earth in their bodies are forgiving and tolerant people, they are non-judgmental, caring, nurturing and dislike confrontation. They are excellent mediators and delight in giving and receiving, as well as living a simple life. If you have an excess of Earth in your body, you will experience an excessive appetite, tender gums, headaches, mental cloudiness, heavy limbs, aching eyes, digestive problems, lack of energy, bloating, water retention and premenstrual tension, as well as a heavy spirit.
