In traditional Western astrology an earth sign is considered to be one of the earth triplicity, which is Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Western astrology is the system of Astrology most popular in Western countries In Astrology, a triplicity is a group of three signs belonging to the same element. Taurus is the second Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Taurus. Virgo is the sixth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Virgo. Capricorn is the tenth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Capricornus.

Characteristics

Earth signs are traditionally associated with stability, solidarity, and practicality. According to astrological theory, they are realistic, cautious, hard-working, and dependable people with the ability to rise steadily to positions of power and control. However, at their worst, they are said to be highly materialistic, limited in outlook, and inhibited. They are seen as negative, introverted, and not very sociable, owing to their focus on their own work and goals that tend to move them away from an active social life with others. In astrology, a negative, receptive, nocturnal, passive or feminine sign refers to any of the six even-numbered signs of the

On a more positive note, earth signs are the most down-to-earth and reasonable out of all of the signs. They are not easily upset, and are good at using emotional self-control. They are calm, cool and sane- which at times can make them very likeable among others. Astrologers say if the person's moon or ascendant is in a fire or air sign, earth signs will produce a very well-liked personality that adds an easygoing and sociable charm to the down-to-earth and calm quality of the earth sign. In judgement of friends, earth signs are said to be generally reserved and cautious yet fairly passionate, always committed to friends and partners. It is said earth signs tend to be most satisfied when they have accumulated material possessions rather than knowledge (air signs), personal security (water signs), or power (fire signs). In Astrology, the air signs consist of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. In astrology a water sign' refers to any of the signs Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces. In astrology, a fire sign refers to any of the three signs Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius.

Chief fault is fraud. Earth is not normally prone to physical violence but, as in any given situation, there will be exceptions. Earth is mildly vengeful, liable to hold a grudge and tends to have a "my time will come" attitude. In general, revenge is apt to be by way of a "hit" in the pocketbook of the offender. When angered, Earth is quick to express such in a verbal fashion with physical violence being used only as a last resort.

Relations with other element signs

Earth signs are said to be attracted to water signs because the two share qualities of acquisitiveness, retentiveness, and self-protectiveness. The earth signs feel that the water signs will nourish them, whilst water signs feel that the earth signs offer them the emotional security they desperately want. Whilst water is considered compatible with earth, water signs do not share much of the earth signs' practicality and the earth signs often view water signs' idealism as quite unrealistic, sometimes even fanciful. Earth signs find air signs fascinating because they can be attracted by their strange thoughts and share their intellectual tendencies. However, earth signs believe air signs to be "up in the clouds" and trying to put forward ideas that never will work in practice. Moreover, the severe detachment and insensitivity of the air signs are qualities the earth signs will eventually find tiresome and offensive. They will be drawn to fire signs, but soon view fire signs as simply too careless and forceful to be of any use to them.
