Today we will turn our attention to the last element: the earth.
Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
Earth is where we build and where nature flourishes, meaning these signs are the builders of the zodiac. They are down to earth and bring those around them back to a solid foundation.
Earth signs are known to be pragmatic, acting with confidence and strength. Those born in these 2 Earth signs look to Venus during the day and the Moon at night.
Traits of the Earth signs
Earth signs are productive and realistic. Of course, if you take everything to extremes, you can fall victim to a monotonous routine.
Earth signs are work-focused, stubborn, and don’t take big risks. If they don’t overdo all these traits, their goal-oriented mindset can prevent anyone from pulling them down or destroying them.
Because they are so grounded, these signs are the most stable of the zodiac.
They are also resilient and cautious, responsible with a sense of duty and always focused on their ultimate goal.
But the practical nature of Earth signs also means that Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn tend to place a high value on material things, be greedy and focused on appearances. Furthermore, because they are so focused on their goals, they tend to neglect the needs and feelings of others.
