What Earth Signs Need to Be More Emotionally Intelligent

Emotional intelligence allows us to foster more intimate relationships and build a deeper sense of personal autonomy. Through the process of learning how to be aware of, communicate, regulate, and decipher meaning from our emotional world, we expand our capacity to be fully present as sovereign individuals. This sense of presence is of particular importance to Earth signs. When thinking in terms of emotional intelligence, be mindful of where Sun and Moon placements lie. Sun sign relates to dominant areas of external presentation and bleeds into most forms of personal expression. Moon sign relates to our inner world and how we experience the emotions living within it.

Taurus

Allow others the gift of serving you.

Your level of embodiment allows you to feel what your mind, body, and heart need quite intuitively, Taurus. Being a creature who seeks out comfort and safety, your dependable disposition channels you to meet human needs out of pure instinct. Although you sense your needs easily, not everyone is as practical as you are. You may struggle in asking to receive love or support from others, leading to a sense of stagnation. Avoid the tendency to shut down and constantly (silently) remain self-sufficient. You can allow others the gift of serving you. This requires speaking the truth of your most vulnerable nature. You deserve to be on the receiving end of comfort, joy, and love. You may find, the process of speaking up alone helps you get there.

Virgo

Let it be nonsensical.

Emotional awareness and expression don’t quite come naturally to you, humble and responsible Virgo. You may attempt to logically understand deeper emotions and the apparently messy expression of others. These are the often illogical elements of being human that perplex you. Avoid letting curiosity challenge you into anger or frustration. Channel your drive towards service by placing yourself in another’s shoes. Every time you see life from another perspective, you expand your capacity to be present in and communicate your own. This is how you grow in understanding the human condition — not by means of dissecting the truth, but rather by opening yourself to allow it to happen.

Capricorn

Build dynamic relationships.

Seeking to be someone others can rely on, Capricorn, you may resist entering your own emotional world. Your desire to create a sense of security for loved ones is unparalleled. And while this duty comes second-nature, it may lead you to fear inner work lying outside the realm of professional, familial, and financial boundaries. Lean into the sense of family and community you build. There are likely individuals who have gifts that naturally support your own. This includes spending time with people who foster emotional safety, comfort, and warmth. These compliment the practical and structural support you bring into their lives, and will allow you to open up about the deeper processes you’re going through. Through dynamic relationship building, you lose the emotional baggage that can come with white knuckling your way through life.
