Elements-EW.jpg Elements combination: Earth Water

Dominant Earth, Water, No Air, No Fire

Dominant Earth element in your chart gives you a practical, grounded personality. You are interested in creating security and abiding by traditions and can be resistant to change and controversy. You prefer routines, structures and orderliness. Generating wealth and creating financial security is a priority for you and you love to make other people feel comfortable and secure as well.

Emotional security can be just as important to you because Water is your next most prevalent element. You are intuitive, emotional and sensitive and nurture others in an emotional and romantic way in addition to practicality.

Your Water element helps give fluidity and adaptability to your otherwise grounded personality. Relationships and family are important to you and you are protective of those you love.

The absence of Air limits your communication style. You are concrete and think in black and white terms. Philosophy and abstract ideas have little value to you. You don’t see the purpose in thinking just for the sake of exploring the intellect. Everything must have a purpose as far as you are concerned. It can be difficult for you to embrace change as well.

The absence of Fire in your chart can make it difficult to assert your will and focus your energy. You are patient yet you may also procrastinate, waiting for the ideal opportunity to act even if it means letting numerous chances pass you by.

You are slow to anger and prefer to avoid conflict than to debate or rock the boat. You don’t like controversy and would rather maintain the status quo than challenge conventions. You are not easily excitable and may appear to lack passion. You may have creative ideas but hesitate to act on them because practical considerations take precedence over creativity for you. You are not inclined to take risks and resist change as much as possible. You may also talk yourself out of opportunities because of fear of the unknown.

When situations become challenging you respond with stoicism. You stay the course even if it is not effective. You are less likely to face the challenges head on or advocate on your own behalf and you may become stagnant or stuck rather than exerting more energy or finding a different solution to your problems.

You will dig in your heels and wait for the world to conform to you rather than adapting or fighting back. You don’t like to be around people who are intense, angry or domineering as you can feel intimidated by expressions of powerful energy. Keeping the peace is more important to you than exposing the truth and so you may enable others in relationships rather than confront them.

You prefer a slow pace and tend to not be athletic or to challenge yourself physically through sports. Your health is important to you though you don’t like to feel uncomfortable and have no interest in challenging yourself or testing your strength. You are loyal and will not leave a relationship or work setting as long as you have the option to hold on.

Relationships, family and love are of great importance to you and you strive to create stability not just for yourself but for others as well.

Your emotional nature helps to soften and potentially bring adaptability to, your obstinate and stubborn earthy side.

Air is your third prevalent element. You can tap into your intellectual side and potentially take various perspectives in order to weigh your options, but typically you draw your ideas from your senses and inner wisdom. You can be social, diplomatic and an excellent communicator.

You may have to work through life challenges before you really appreciate your intellectual side or come to appreciate the value of research and academic information as opposed to gut instinct and conventional wisdom.

You tend to be stoic and try to hide your emotions. You are also concerned with security and comfort. You want to make sure that your roots and foundation are solid and view this as key to providing for others.

You value the past, tradition and hard work. You are likely to be career focused and may have known what type of work you wanted to do even at a young age. If you were exposed to hardship, you view it as adding to your strength of character and you seldom complain about difficulties.

If there is something that you find intolerable it is being forced to try new things or forced to surrender control to others. You feel insecure when your routines and rituals are interrupted or disrupted and are very much a creature of habit.

Water is your secondary element and like earth, is a nurturing force. You can empathize with others and connect emotionally though you prefer to not show your own vulnerability. You may be attracted to careers in healing, therapy, real estate or careers involving home, children and families.

You may also run your own business at some point. Your relationships and family are important to you though you focus on career and money as a means of providing stability for your loved ones.

You can be empathic and may react to your strong emotional impulses by detaching yourself from intimacy, setting firm boundaries or focusing on work, thanks to dominant earth energy.

Water can help soften your hard exterior however and you may also learn to compromise and find emotional security in allowing the support of others and greater intimacy in your relationships, though this can be a life lesson that evolves over time.

It is not your most familiar energy but you can either learn to embrace this side of yourself through evolving and learning life lessons or you can tap in to this energy when you need to.

You have the potential to be a leader and to be an agent for change and dynamic growth but you prefer to maintain the status quo. You can also potentially become passionate about pursuing your ambitions and can overcome challenges because of the perseverance and determination from this element.

Air is the least prevalent element in your chart. You have the potential to be intellectual, flexible, creative and adaptable yet you prefer to operate on autopilot, repeating the past and maintaining tradition. Once in a while you may question the purpose of traditions or structures which you take for granted, and when you do you may come to the conclusion that certain institutions and aspects of your life are not needed or even limiting

You may or may not summon the creativity and courage to make changes as you are not comfortable with change. You may also use your creativity to envision new ways of doing things, but plans will only lead to action if you work with the fire element as well.
