Just wanted to share this.
My chart is deficient in Earth - of the personal planets, just Mars at 20 Taurus, in the 12th, and in detriment. Since I realigned my chart I've got a Taurus ascendant, but I've been very conscious that being "earthed" and practical doesn't come naturally to me.
Current transits bring me a grand Earth trine courtesy of Jupiter at 19 Capricorn and Saturn at 19 Virgo. I've really noticed that lovely earthy influence! I've certainly seen it today - I'm away on holiday for a week starting tomorrow and I have had the most amazing afternoon making soups to use up food in the fridge. And all this in between catching up on emailing and packing (I'm more organised than I've ever been!)
And they're artistic soups too, all made of produce from the earth - no meat - and colourful, as befits a Taurus influence! I've done a green soup using green capsicum peppers, garden peas, leeks and celery and a "beta carotene" soup with red and yellow peppers, tomatoes, sweet potato and carrot. The last one will be made from potatoes, parsnips, onion and a desert apple. All to be frozen for my return next week.
I often think of doing this before I go on holiday but rarely if ever get it organised. I usually end up throwing away stuff I'm not going to use. But I've loved making these things today - I've taken real joy in preparing the vegetables, sorting out the seasoning and getting them just right. That's very much a Saturn/Virgo influence, it's in my 5th so it's been about creativity with food, and making use of the abundance (Jupiter) I have around me.
