Earth
This is the element that will help you prioritize this holiday. Make a list, make a happy home , a secure place with a solid foundation, so everyone who you meet feels safe and secure.
This element helps you to keep the proper distance with relatives, or people you know, have good boundaries. This element also helps you find the perfect present for someone you know. It will help you focus , prioritize, and be centered.
Slow movements characterize this element, slow, deep, penetrating. Moving slowly like a turtle, or a donkey in a cart, no matter how hard you want to rush it you have to be patient.
Earth is structured, organized. It is the container that holds the shapes of things.
If you eat sugar, this is the element that eats it to feel secure. So, move a little , before you take that next piece of cake, and if you can’t dance,
please enjoy every bite!
