Earth is about transformation, and supporting endless new creative experiments to sustain life. In the body, earth organs transform the solid material of food into clear energy.
On the emotional strata, nourishment takes the form of care, which is the care that a mother gives her child so that he or she can grow and thrive as well as the care we give our home, garden, and animals.
As the earth itself is round, so the emotions in this element are circular: you fulfill someones need, and in return you get something back. This circle of giving and receiving sustains life and love.
On an intellectual level, caretaking manifests as organizational skills. This entails not only giving enough of what each person needs, but also making sure there is enough for everybody. This organizes individuals in such a way that they form a group, which enables them to do more together than the individuals are capable of doing on their own.
Earth type personalities can cook, multitask and are very good at bringing people together and organizing events and projects. They are very caring and will always have food in the house, as well as a good word and a hug to offer everyone.
