• Element: Earth

The element of Earth is the sole purpose of all elements, since it represents a basis for each of them, for our existence, and something we all want to accomplish – materialization of our desires. This is a somewhat complicated element because it is stiff and unmovable, especially when a person has a lot of planets in it, but not enough of them in the element of Air to balance it out.

This is the element of our planet and got its name by it too. We should keep this in mind when we interpret anyone’s chart, for the lacking of Earth might point to big problems a person has finding grounding or connecting to the soil they were born to.

• Quality: Mutable

This is the quality of all signs that have already had enough and need change. They all look forward to the new season, whatever it is, and they are already a mix of the old with the new. We can’t say that they represent the end of something, but rather a combination of an end with a new beginning, intertwined. This is a quality of constant changes and the unexpected, and something that brings message of the future and what is yet to come. All of the signs with this quality have the ability to sense things before they arrive, and many of those gifted individuals that foretell our future have these areas of the zodiac accented. Mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.

Virgo is the “other side” of Mercury, practical and easy to comprehend, and also its sign of exaltation. It belongs to the element of Earth and represents the end of summer, when we still enjoy the warmth but look forward to a cooler time of the year. To add to that, this is a sign that holds the fall of Venus as if Virgos look forward to the colors of the autumn to regenerate from aggressive mental and hormonal summer activity. Virgo sign does rule our health and our physiology, and speaks of changes in the way our body functions daily following waves of our routine.
