The Earth Element

The element of Earth is a grounding and manifesting energy, out of all the four astrological elements, earth is the most tangible in material manifestation. The Earth element represents 🌎 Gaia or Terra Mater (mother earth). When interpreting a natal chart, the lack of earth 🌎 will emphasize issues or problems with the quality of the element such as grounding. Look to see if you have any planets in the natural earth houses as they can compensate the missing element.



Earth 🌍 Zodiac Signs and Houses Signs ruled by the element of Earth are Taurus ♉️ and the 2nd House 🏡 , Virgo ♍️ and the 6th House 🏡, and Capricorn ♑️ and the 10th House 🏡. All these signs and houses share the quality of material gains and practicality in their daily approach. These signs and houses value material gain, work hard, security and executing actions with thoughout plans. All three signs have the ability to be practical, goal oriented, concrete, and their responsible approach to action. The element of Earth represents our physical body, our finances, the food we eat, our daily routines, and our worldy success. This element is know to be set in their ways and have long lasting endurance. Persons with strong earth element have a tendency thrive in unchangeable routines, to the point that change in routines maybe become challenging. This element sticks to set habits as they thrive with security and predictability. Strong earth elemen can stay in a boring job because of financial security, while completely disregarding their intelligence and creativity.

How Do We Balance Earth?

Too much Earth Earth 🌎 imbalances in Natal Chart such as too much Earth will need to tap into the element of Air. Air is the least grounded thus too much earth needs to get their feet out of the mud. Additionally, a well placed planet such as Mercury can assist the native. Activities such as reading, coffee breaks, walking for long distances, or walking around the neighborhood, and communicating and socialize as much as possible will release earth element imbalance. Obsticle activity in small bursts and stretching are great. The best exercise for anyone pressured by too much Earth is spontaneous carefree dancing 💃🏻 with loud music 🎶. Playing an instrument 🎷 such as the 🎸 or flute can also assist in tapping to the air quality.

Lack of Earth

Lack of earth 🌍 will need to find a way to ground. Doing activities like gardening, drinking tea, eating savory food, or walking barefooted can ground these individuals. Having house plants 🌱 and eating lots of green food can also assist. Lack or earth 🌍 can compensate by having planets placed in natural earth houses such as 2 house, 6 house, or 10 house.

Why do you need or balance an element?


Element imbalances can create issues with expressing and connecting with the earth element and the group of signs ruled by earth 🌎. The are of life that doesnt have support can delay tangible manifestation. The individual can really feel this as they will typically lack the positive qualities that the element rules.
