The Earth Element
The Earth Element of Late Summer
Before the inevitable descent into autumn, qi takes a 

moment of stability and appreciation, where life begins 

to slow down and to fulfill itself. This is the phase of 

nourishment and the assimilation of all that has 

happened. It is harvest time, or late summer, lazy and 

warm, ripe with the fruits and abundance of nature. Qi 

takes its time, and in gratitude of all that has come to 

pass, takes time to appreciate the fertility, prosperity,

and full expression of life in this materialised plane.

You are warm, compassionate and dependable. You flow

with empathy and love nothing more than to help 

people and causes that capture your heart. You are 

strong, supportive and hard-working. You often find it 

easier to give than to receive, which can result in 

fatigue. You have a strong sense of family and of 

belonging, loving to feed, nurture and care for those 

around you. Physically, the Earth element governs the 

stomach, spleen and muscles.
