Earth is, of course, related to the astrological water signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), and possesses a lot of the same traits – it is grounded, it brings you back to earth and builds upon solid foundations.
Earth energy is all about the practical aspects of life that concern everyone so much. It can be a solid foundation. It can sometimes even be a little stuck in the mud!
The card itself shows the contours of the earth and all of the things that grow from it, and the riches that can be mined from it. The Earth card deals with the practical nature of industry, possessions, and money. It can talk about thrift, conservation issues, practical matters and all things that grow – birds, bees, humans, flowers, everything else.
If this card has shown up to represent how you will feel if you allow yourself to feel better, then it means money, security, and all the other good root chakra stuff. Wealth, safety, home, all things that grow. Being able to acknowledge and appreciate your roots.
