CELESTIAL SOULPRINTS

Earth
Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

You are not naturally attuned to the physical world, nor to the basic requirements for survival at a material level. You are likely to pay scant attention to the basic needs of your body, neglecting to pay attention to practical matters such as the management of food, warmth, shelter and money, all of which are important to healthy living. You may feel quite out of place in this world and the realities of everyday living, and you may well find it difficult to achieve a sense of material security. It is important that you take care to cultivate regular habits with regard to meals and rest, for this does not come naturally to you. If you can learn to accept at least the basic requirements of earthly living, you have considerable potential, for you are not one to accept practical limitations to your schemes and ideas, which makes you highly creative, provided you develop at least some sense of what is feasible.

You are not particularly concerned with material things, including your own needs for money, food and practical ability, and you need to become more au fait with the requirements for smooth living in the real world, otherwise you will be brought down to earth with a bump from time to time, having neglected some obvious facet of reality for too long. You need to look after your physical needs to some extent at least, for only then are your plans and ideas likely to come to reality, rather than to remain impractical dreams. However, you may be quite creative, for you are not likely to be too concerned about practical obstacles in your path which would daunt others. Just make sure that you pay some respect to the requirements of healthy living at the physical level, as well as investing your energies into the development of spiritual or emotional goals and ideas.

You are reasonably in touch with the here-and-now realities of the material world, and you probably understand how to fit in with the mundane needs of making a living and looking after your physical needs. Although you may be quite efficient in running your day-to-day affairs, relying on experience and practical common sense, you should not allow your ability to be methodical to close your mind to those aspects of life which have less obvious connections with the tangible realities with which you are familiar. While you probably have sufficient imagination and empathy to avoid falling into the trap of believing only what you see right in front of you, it is also important for you to fit your own experience into a broader framework of understanding if you are to make the most of your talents: your ability to organize is useful, but should not be allowed to become an obsession. Although you are likely to be methodical and pragmatic, with a keen ability to organize, you may tend to rely too much on things as they are, or as they appear to be.

You need to be aware of the value of imagination as a feature of creativity, and to avoid dismissing ideas and plans because they appear to be insufficiently down-to-earth. Work is likely to be important for you, since it allows you to exercise your organizational abilities well, but here again it is important to keep things in perspective, paying attention to the larger issues as well as the minutiae. You also need to recognize that other people do not necessarily share the view that practical reality is what matters, and you may find difficulties occur in dealing with others unless you allow them to organize themselves in their own way if they want to, and give them scope to do their own thing.

You are very good at spotting the essential features of a situation, and deciding upon the most appropriate action. You have a considerable amount of organizing ability, and are efficient at getting things done. However, your strength in this department means that you may fail to see the wood for the trees. Unless you develop a broader perspective on your endeavors, there is a danger that you will become bogged down in attention to detail, showing an excessive concern with what works in practice, rather than considering the wider implications of your behavior.

You may also be mistrustful of people who appear to think to much, or to act without any obvious reason, and there is a risk of your becoming overly skeptical about things for which you cannot find an immediate practical use. You also need to avoid letting your work dominate your life totally.
