The Earth Element
Following is a continuation of an astrology teaching about our elemental nature. Some people are more grounded and practical than others, indicating their earth element is harmonised. The three zodiacal signs associated with the earth element are Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.
The element of earth represents sustainability, the ability to be grounded, our materialistic nature, practicality, common sense and physical survival. People with strong earth element in their nature are cautious, realistic and reliable. They can concretise their plans, get tangible results and build strong, long-lasting structures. They learn endurance and structure. The earth element represents all that is solid in our bodies i.e. bones, teeth, nails and skeletal system. The earth element rules our sense of smell, and the nose is the organ associated with it.
Should you have too much earth in your nature you can become sluggish, lethargic, inactive and overly concerned with material survival and monetary security. You can be heavy and slow to perceive new ideas, and stubbornly resist change. The remedy is to add fire and air to your daily life. For example; wear bright colours, do regular physical exercise and engage in mental stimulation by learning a stimulating and exciting subject.
Should you have too little earth you can lack the ability to manifest whatever you need or visualise. You could be unstable, unable to enlist the support of others and have difficulty actualising your potential. You may not want to see that your thoughts, attitudes and habits betray your aspirations. You learn life lessons the hard way until you choose to consciously change. In order to harmonise your elemental nature it’s important to develop a practical, self-aware focus.
Full Moon 19 deg Aquarius 21 mins – 11.35am Brisbane Qld (AEST)
This upcoming Full Moon is conjunct Saturn. Father issues are likely arise, hopefully be revealed and seen in clear light so that positive forward action can be taken to seriously address them. Viewing your weakening experiences from a higher perspective enables you to respond, rather than react to emotionally charged situations. From that bigger picture perspective you can more easily develop love, understanding and compassion for yourself and others involved in the emotionally challenging situation. Control, fear of punishment and responsibility may be part of your experience.
Remember, you did the best you could with what you knew at the time. You may need to forgive yourself before you can move forward. Because you carry fear you may attract a confrontation with someone you perceive to be an authority so you can see, as if looking into a mirror, the issue you need to heal.
This Full Moon offers the opportunity for enlightenment; to enable you to see clearly old childhood issues that have held you back from advancing into your future potential. I recommend you let go of weakening thoughts and subsequent behaviour and decide to take the positive light-filled pathway forward. It may take courage to do so. Isn’t it better to gather the courage to take the action you know you need to take rather than suffering fear and limitation for the rest of your life?
For those aware and awake, you are likely be called upon to step up to a higher mark because your vibration is needed to awaken and enlighten others. Your time of hiding under a security blanket is over.
May you open your minds and hearts to receive and integrate these messages, and allow the love guiding them to fuel your daily life,
Blessings and Love,
