Element of Earth

 Earth

     The Element of Earth is attached to the Signs Taurus, Virgo and
Capricorn, and it also rules the Second, Sixth and Tenth Houses. All the
earthy metaphors are appropriate here: salt of the Earth, feet firmly
planted on the ground and so forth. Those graced by an Earth Sign in
their horoscope are practical, grounded and dependable. These folks
aren't taking big risks, much preferring a sure thing.
    Much like the Elements are considered the building blocks in nature,
Earth Signs are the builders of the zodiac. To these Signs, creation is
a tangible
proposition. Whether it's building jobs or homes, or creating
comfortable rooms within that home through the acquisition of
possessions, Earth Signers are about all what is solid around us. Those
influenced by this Element feel best once they have accumulated a goodly
number of worldly possessions. The
risk inherent in this, however, is that these individuals may become
greedy and far too materialistic.  The Element of Earth also confers a
sense of duty,
 responsibility and reliability to those in its sphere. These  are the
people you can count on to be there when you need them. Those influenced
by Earth also tend toward caution and conservatism, in both desire and
approach.  That said, they are sensualists, certainly in that they
appreciate a good meal and fine wine better than anyone else.  The
logical mind of an Earth Signer is
always appreciated. In keeping with this measured approach, these folks
also display considerable recuperative powers.  On the flip side of
things, however, those supported by Earth may be so caught up in their
objectives that they might overlook the feelings of others. It is a big
picture, after all, but these  folks may be more concerned with the
finish line than the journey they are taking.  Earth Signs are
dependable, practical and conservative, yet fairly materialistic. They
have their feet on the ground but their eyes on the prize.
