"Do you know your earth sign?" - Philip Sedgwick

[Ava]

'Love this article, based on the heliocentric chart:
www.philipsedgwick.com/Helio/EarthSun.htm

To get your heliocentric chart at astro.com, simply choose heliocentric as your zodiac option. In this chart you will notice there is no sun. Instead, exactly opposite to your tropical sun's position, there is a glyph corresponding to the earth and moon (ie "earth-moon dyad.") It looks like this:



Essentially the readings show how each sun sign is similar to its opposing sign, and gives a unique perspective on what it looks like, when we embody those traits in a healthy way. The readings are positive and uplifting.

Cancer Earth (Capricorn Sun)

Lesson - Mother Earth herself reaches the closest point of approach (perihelion) to the Sun in Cancer. The Cancer Earth contains the need to respond to the most direct sunlight and illumination of all the Earth placements. Direct and undisputed contact with the nurturing action is maintained and requires useful, non-interfering incorporation. Domination tendencies must convert into a support mechanism. Those with this Earth must learn about responsibilities and that each person owns a different sense of responsibility. This realization precludes being disappointed in one’s offspring (anyone to whom the Cancer Earth becomes attached) and releases guilt, expectation and irritation. The pursuit of Earth dictates the need to frolic in the Sun. The ability to enjoy and align with nature establishes contact with the base of Earth. This eliminates an inability to appreciate beauty as it exists. This individual must reject cynicism in the soul to enable the heart to open.

Legacy - Cancer Earth people are among the most sensitive and caring upon the planet. They demonstrate this clearly when actualized in being through support and love given freely and without consideration of reaction or rejection. Love is given without expectation and the individual teaches how to love safely and responsibly without interrupting the flow of another person’s development.

Basically it reads like instructions for how to undo all the negative tendencies of the sun sign.

Btw, I'll go for that stuff about "frolicking in the sun," really hate winter and wanted to be living in the desert by now.

Scorpio Earth (Taurus Sun)

"Lesson - The drive to transform need presents the biggest challenge of this Earth/Sun polarity. Attachment and possession must be over come. Learning how to have and hold, and how the have/hold principle differs from owning/possessing, creates the crisis of reorientation. Scorpio Earth souls must learn to experience their feelings, especially feelings of material resentment, jealousy and emotional bondage. An innate understanding of the natural value of human resources must learned. This resource of human potential must be understood from the standpoint of using people, not abusing people. Should this lesson about human resource not be learned, the Taurean tendencies only subvert deeper. The subverted tendencies appear through the use of others in a negative manner, creating a master/slave relationship.

Legacy - Once cultivated, these seekers become the masters of manipulating others into positive, creative spaces of existence. An understanding of when to intervene and when to not intervene becomes inherent in one’s nature. These individuals may become compulsive, not being able to see waste of a mind or creative potential. They constantly push, shove and work to apply every available resource. A unique ability to invest in the resources of others also evolves. True levels of abundance and prosperity consciousness can and must be taught"

Hmm seems a bit extreme, and basically the same as what I've read wrt Scorpio NN, but I do resonate with the whole when to intervene and when not to bit. Being with my partner has cultivated this skill, I think, but the rest of it is a bit...crazy. I'm not very keen on this polarity in general to be honest, the descriptions are always a bit doom and gloom whilst also being vague. Cool article though, thanks Ava !

Oops yeah, that does sound extreme FruityLlama. You *must* experience emotional bondage? lol

I should have read all of them more carefully.
