Earth signs are naturally practical. In this lifetime we are bound to Earth. There is no escaping the reality around us. The Earth is about as real as it gets; it can be felt, weighed and it has substance. Accordingly, the earth signs base their life on what is real, not what is imagined. Sensation is valued over thoughts or feelings. Earth signs live with their feet on the ground. Others seek their advice because of their basic sensibility. For earth signs, seeing is believing.
The earth of Taurus is simple and sensible. It's about getting back to basics. This is about working the earth in a garden or about having the tools that we need in order to build.
Thanks everyone!
I do tend to be a rather sensible, feet on the ground kind of person. Practicality is practically my middle name. Last year for my birthday I asked for (and received) a gardening kneeling bench and a compost starter. This year I don't want anything but e-books for my Kindle app on my sweet-ass new iPad.
