Astrologers who tend to be more inclusive by nature will use more cosmic points, asteroids, and the planet EARTH in their analysis.

The planet Earth symbol is depicted as shown above — a circle encompassing a cross. On the esoteric level, this constitutes matter within spirit. In a natal chart, Earth is always opposite (180º) by sign and position to one’s natal Sun placement. It represents the means through which the ‘ego need’ expression of the Sun takes place. Thus, the Earth half of the ‘Self’ must be cultivated in order for an individual to be a ‘total’ person.

Here are the polarities. All are vice versa.

ARIES/LIBRA
TAURUS/SCORPIO

GEMINI/SAGITTARIUS

CANCER/CAPRICORN

LEO/AQUARIUS

VIRGO/PISCES

If we view the Sun sign as representative of one’s vitality, personality, and Will power then the Earth represents one’s reason for being and signifies by sign and house placement the avenue of life where one can have the greatest and most positive impact complete with the necessary resources. Encourage the Earth side of your ‘Self’ to unfold to avoid imbalance within your spirit by studying your opposite sign where Earth lies.
