Earth Element Healing Crystals

Earth Energy Crystals

All crystals have earth energy, but some crystals are also linked to the elements of fire, water, or air.  Crystals that are specifically known for their earth energy are profoundly sensible and grounded.  While some crystals encourage flights of fancy, earth energy crystals help us to keep it real.  They encourage us to notice what actually exists, what is literally missing, and what is the logical solution to serve the Highest Good.  Earth is the foundation from which all growth is possible.  If you want to create a healthy and happy life, focus on the basics and stay consistent over time.  Earth energy crystals remind us to take good care of our body and all the little habits that make our life run smoothly.

Earth energy can be harshly practical or very comforting, depending on what we need.  Earth energy wants us to succeed in real life and sometimes that means helping us face unpleasant truths that we’d rather avoid.  Crystals with earth energy help us to stay grounded so we can stand tall and be strong.

The element of earth is an important part of spirituality in many cultures and religions.  It is most often associated with feminine energy, particularly maternal energy.  Mother Earth is the mother of us all, and it’s up to us to take good care of Her, so that She can take good care of us.

Earth Energy and the Western Zodiac

The element of earth is tied to the Western astrological signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.  These zodiac signs are steady and reliable and their walk matches their talk.  Earth signs are often especially attracted to healing crystals because all crystals have earth energy.  Some crystals just have a larger dose that can enhance earth sign gifts.  The goal is to be grounded but not get stuck.  Likewise, its good to be practical, but we also need to make sure we’re having some passionate fun.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) can benefit from earth energies.  Air Signs are very intelligent and fun, but they can be somewhat flighty and not follow through.  Earth energy crystals add focus and practicality, so that the most exciting dreams can come true.

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius)  have a dynamic relationship with the energy of earth.  Fire signs are quick to take action, but may not consider the consequences until its too late. Earth element crystals can help fire signs take action that is wise and serves the Highest Good.

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Aquarius) need the nourishing energy of earth to help them grow. Water signs are emotionally wise and earth energy crystals encourage practical wisdom.  Together they encourage a life of deep meaning and beauty.

Earth Signs and the Chinese Zodiac

Each of the Chinese zodiac signs cycles through the element of earth.  If your lunar birth year ends in an 8 or 9, you are most likely an Earth Sign. For example, if you were born in 1988, you are an Earth Dragon and if you were born in 1999, you are an Earth Rabbit.  It takes 60 years for the pattern to repeat, so for example, 1959 and 2019 are both the year of the Earth Pig.

People with earth signs have natural gifts for staying grounded and nurturing energies, and working with earth energy crystals increases those gifts.  Earth signs can be stubborn and overly-conservative.  Earth energy crystals help us to find the wise balance and remember that the only constant is change.

Earth Element in Feng Shui

In Feng Shui, the element of earth is connected to the colors yellow, orange, and brown, as well as square shapes, and the center, rather than a specific direction.  It is sometimes linked to late summer (the time of the harvest) as well as seasonal transitions in general.  Any kind of natural decor can be used to represent earth energy, especially pottery, ceramics, and stone sculptures – and of course, any kind of crystal is perfectly suited to evoke earth energy.
