This element keeps us in touch with the cycle of nature and looking into this element can provide such lessons as balance and prosperity. Some life aspects and activities that might be associated with the Earth element include: travel, ambition, enterprise, reslessness, fertility, resources, valuables, business, enthusiasm, money and savings, companionship, excitement, security, growth, status, practical application, and manufacture.





The Tarot suit associated with the Earth element is the suit of Coins (or disks, pentacles, stones). In the interpetation of Tarot these cards usually deal with such matters as business, trade, money and resources. They can represent our attitude toward such resources and how we choose what comes our way. They usually have a pentacle or other symbol inscribed on them which reminds us that Spirit is not separated from matter.
