spiritual In the cycle of the four elements autumn belongs to the Earth energy. This beautiful season is the time of gentle sunshine and gorgeous colours, when the Green leaves turn into Yellow, Orange, deep Red, then Brown.
After the lazy, hot summer days it is the time for action. Your mind is focused on getting back to work and the Earth energy helps to boost your energies on a physical level. Its qualities in general are focusing, centering, stabilizing and deepening.
Earth element is part of the classical four elements (Earth, Water, Air and Fire). This system roots in ancient Greek philosophy. Sometimes there is an additional fifth element (quintessence) included called Aether, which comes from Hinduism and Buddhism. In this system the four elements are the four states of matter therefore Earth is equivalent to solid, Water is liquid, Air is gas, Fire is plasma, and the fifth one; Aether is the element, which is beyond the material world.
Earth is the foundation for all the other elements. It keeps you grounded and brings practicality into your life. There are certain qualities related to the Earth energy, which can show up in your personality if you were born in the following three astrological signs, which are related to the Earth element: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. “Earth personalities are characterized in this belief system as calm, practical, hard-working, brave, smart, wise, stable and patient; however, they can also be stubborn, possessive, nearsighted and very harsh.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_(classical_element))
My zodiac sign is Virgo (23rd August – 22nd September). I can recognise many of these personality traits in my being, related to the Earth energy. Of course this is just a tiny slice of the whole picture, however can be helpful to know as additional information on the journey of getting to know yourself. Some people discount astrology and horoscopes. I personally do not like the general ones, however I believe, the constellation of the planets and stars at the time we were born have a great impact on our energy system. Birthstones for example are capable of attracting the energies of the planets “you were born under” to guide you on your spiritual journey. More on birthstones…
Knowing, which energy governs your being helps you understand the reason behind your actions. It also shows which areas you need to pay attention to in order to feel better and more balanced energetically.
