CULTURE | THE ELEMENT
The Earth People
The “ earth personality ” is nurturing , generous , and caring . Earth People tend to be introverted and are tolerant , honest , trustworthy , diligent and steadfast by nature . Earth people often impress others with their contented and peaceful state .
An earth person is realistic , but comes with a touch of pessimism , which makes it hard to persuade them about new opportunities and new ways of viewing things . They can be worrisome and pensive , and want to ensure a positive outcome before they celebrate , lest they jump the gun .
The earth person is instinctive and survivaloriented by nature , and always knows when to be careful . They remain calm and focused in situations of crisis and keep their promises . Earth people find joy in associating with other people , seeking harmony and togetherness , and they insist upon loyalty , security and predictability . They are extremely down to earth and are known to make long-term plans .
A sudden rise of yin in the earth personality may lead to excessive phlegm , which can make them dull and slow to react . Alternatively , a sudden rise of yang can lead to a complete change in character and make them overly optimistic .
Unlike other element types , the earth person has a very natural view of death , and accepts the course of life without feeling the need to change things along the way .
