Earth

Celestial Body: Planet

The Earth, like all planets, revolves around The Sun. It is the only known planet to support life. It has one natural satellite, The Moon.

Mythology

There are loads of earth goddesses. I encourage you to always begin with your own heritage and roots and read about the gods and goddesses within your own ancestry along with others that you are drawn to in order to discover your own intuitive understanding about the earth and its mythological power. The Greeks and Romans worshiped Gaia and Terra, respectively, adopting a merged worship like many other Greco-Roman deities (ie. Aphrodite and Venus). My personal lineage includes the Irish goddess Danu, (a hypothesized deity, I can elaborate on the anthropology if you care…) so I study this myth and apply relevant energetics to my craft when necessary.

Application

Your earth sign can be applied to your rising sign for astrological purposes. This is the way you present yourself to the world, your physical appearance, the first impression you offer and how you begin new things. It is an unmovable force that must be accepted and adapted to.

In your body graph, your unconscious (internal + physical body) and conscious (external energy) earth sign gates ground your life purpose (The Sun) and impacts your storyline.
