Earth Signs

Earth signs are strong, reliable materialists, and all of us, as human bodies, are tethered to the earth. As such, earth signs know better than any other of the elements how to actually enact change on this plane. They are gifted at making the most of what we can physically sense and working with pre-existing “rules”—not just rules in the legal sense that we understand them, but also the “ancient wisdoms” that have allowed humanity to flourish for so long on this planet. For any revolution to actually take off, an earth sign must be involved. Without them, the revolution only occurs in one’s mind or heart, with no actual change on a systemic level. That makes the revolution nothing more than a rebellious thought.

Whether you or a friend are a Capricorn, a Taurus, or a Virgo; have 2nd house, 6th house, or 10th house placements; or strong Saturn, Venus, or Mercury aspects in Earth in the chart, read on.

Capricorn ♑

Ruled by stern Saturn, Capricorn is a karmic sign, and the sense of "bearing a burden" is quite strong with this one.

Who Do Earth Signs Need?

Just as dry soil needs to be watered to harbor life, Earth signs require water signs to replenish and soothe their rocky, dusty spirits. They need air signs to inspire them with visions of change and to encourage them to move outside of their social circles or embrace offbeat ideas. And they need fire signs to frequently uplift them from their natural pessimism, with fire’s natural energy, passion, and excitement.
