In the Earth Element lies our abundance and fertility, our goodness, a loving concern for living near us, our compassion. . . The Earth Element is the creator of connections and holder of all transitions. It is the mother, the center, it keeps the balance, the middle, it is the official residence of all changes we call “life”

-Dianne M. Connelly-

The Earth Element determines all of our life cycles. The roots of our true nature are in the earth – being grounded is an existential self-experience.
