EARTH
The element of EARTH represents the domain of physical form – where light is tightly bound into matter and everything manifests according to the laws of physics and nature.
The fertile soil of Earth supports life throughout the cycles of gestation, birth, growth, exploration, maturation, death, and decomposition into mulch that supports new life.
This element teaches us about grounding, cultivating, nourishing, taking action, healing imbalances, and opening to compassion.
The Cycle of Earth — April 10 to June 19, 2026
In the element of Earth, your perception and instinctive healing skills will continue to expand, along with your medicine bag of nature-based healing tools.
