EARTH/WATER Sensitive and determined, or easily hurt and obstinate; caring; nourishing; resourceful; the world is my family; likes to be thought well of; fertile; creative; imaginative; sensual; romantic; enduring loyalty; tenacious.

Whether you are male or female, and whatever you do – be it in business, catering, the caring professions or indeed at home – you are undoubtedly one of the great ‘mothers’ of the world. You have a strongly protective, sensitive and nurturing approach to all that you do. But are you a self-sacrificing Earth Mother who lavishes endless loving care upon your offspring? Or are you a strict Scottish nanny concerned that children learn from an early age to be strong and self-sufficient? Are you an emotional, indeed sentimental, mum or are you practical and common-sensical? When you connect both these sides of you, like Dr Spock of baby-book fame, you can become the ideal parent, teacher and friend. Immensely sympathetic, understanding and supportive, you are able to encourage and bring out the best in those people and organizations you care for and with whom you come into contact.

Your strong sense of the value of things gives you an excellent business and economic sense, enabling you to spot a bargain and to conserve and build up your financial resources. This is assisted by your capacity for getting others to feel protective towards you. Whilst you tend to lack the more dynamic get-up-and-go self-confidence of the classic entrepreneur, you have nonetheless a quiet determination which gets you wherever you want to go.

Your home, and no doubt your evergreen garden, will be especially important to you and you will make your ‘nest’ both secure and comfortable. You are a naturally good neighbour, and although you tend to be a rather quiet, private and indeed even secretive person, you do feel a sense of responsibility for those around you. This can mean that you are the child who ends up looking after your parents when your brothers and sisters are off doing their own thing.

You are strongly sensual and tend to be rather allergic to ideas and theories. You think best in pictures and symbols and by simply doing and experiencing things, and getting the feel of how they work. You are naturally creative and artistic with a strongly lyrical, musical and poetic bent. You can get swept away on a soaring melody, or by a particular nuance of colour, scent or texture. You can use your body as a barometer, for it will tend to reflect faithfully your inner moods and emotions.

Childhood was, and probably still is, enormously important to you. In an often threatening world, you may well seek to retreat into the secure and familiar. This may lead you to seek out a steady, routine occupation which offers long-term security rather than something that can feed your rich imagination.

When these two sides of you are working in creative tandem, this is an immensely caring combination. It is an ideal mix for anyone in the caring, counselling or nursing professions or indeed in any kind of work where the care and nourishment of others is the central preoccupation, such as infant-school teaching, catering and hotel work.
