Earth Signs Capricorn Taurus Virgo Earth and Earth When Earth meets Earth, this blend can build itself into a tall mountain of faith and strength--or can instead become a dry desert, depending on which direction it takes. When agitated, the result can be an earthquake, with volcanic repercussions. The choice lies equally with both individuals. Earth and Fire It is always obvious which is stronger and more enduring of the two elements. Earth remains where it is, unless moved by inner explosion, or through outside forces. Fire instinctively either fears or respects Water, and vice versa. Both subconsciously sense the danger--that each is capable of completely destroying the other. The choice lies equally with both individuals. Earth and Air Earth contains Air and needs it, but Air neither contains Earth nor needs it. Earth is obligated to remain where it is, moving only through earthquake, volcanic or outside forces. Air has freed itself from such restrictions, moving above the Earth at whim, neither changing Earth nor long remaining. Earth is detached from Air, seemingly unaware of its existence, until strong winds disturb the plants and flowers growing on its surface, rooted in its bosom. The outcome is determined by choice, which lies equally with both individuals. Earth and Water Water seeks a home, which it finds within the Earth, penetrating Earth and moistening it, which is a blessing to the Earth--for it is Water's penetration alone that allows Earth to "mother" all forms of living plants, trees and flowers. Without the enrichment of Water, Earth is dry and useless. Without the Earth to moisten, Water's course is aimless and equally useless. These two elements were designed each to need the other. But too much Water can turn the Earth into mud or quicksand--and too little Water can be lost, can disappear within the mountainous masses of Earth. The outcome is determined by choice, which lies equally with both individuals. |
