Earth also carries a more yin energy, along with water, while fire and air are yang. As astrologers the AstroTwins previously told mbg, this makes earth energy more feminine in nature. “Earth signs can get cast as uptight or slow, but that’s not necessarily true,” they said, adding that earth signs prefer having a solid foundation and are the steadiest and most grounded group of signs. Because of their propensity for all things sensual, earth signs are also known to be fans of nice material things. The twins note these signs may enjoy luxury, but they’re also mindful of planning, saving, and budgeting. “They think carefully about the long term and what the return on investment will be,” they say. And when it comes to love and relationships, these signs make dependable lovers. Earth signs are typically most compatible with other earth signs or water signs, though it’s important to take someone’s entire birth chart into account when talking about compatibility. Taurus’ modality is fixed, meaning it falls in the middle of the season. As a fixed earth sign, this makes Taurus the most “immovable” of the earth signs. As the twins explain, “they have a reputation for being stubborn because it’s a very rooted sign.” But rest assured, when a Taurus puts their mind to something, they know how to work hard, even if they take a slow and steady approach. They do, however, have a reputation for laziness, more so than the other earth signs, so it’s important for Tauruses to watch out for that. Sometimes known as the editors of the zodiac, Virgos may come across as judgmental, but that’s just because they have a keen eye for where things can be improved. Ultimately, they want things to be better for themselves, the people in their lives, and the collective. As the twins previously told mbg, Earth energy comprises “the pillars of our lives,” and Virgos are always happy to improve upon those pillars, whether by organizing, motivating others, or offering practical solutions to a problem. These folks take themselves seriously, but you can be sure they’ll do everything in their power to work hard. They’re also known to be honest, wise, and authentic—all very Saturn-oriented themes. As a cardinal sign, starting off the season, they’re definitely powerful self-starters. But Capricorns can also be quite spiritual, too. As the sea-goat represents a hybrid of the goat’s hard work and ambition, and the fish’s connection to the watery spiritual world, Capricorns, too, have the capacity to achieve great things in the physical realm and tap into the wisdom of the spiritual realm too.
