The element: earth
Earth is an interesting element despite the rather commonplace conception of dirt. Many times Earth is recommended for a larger environmental solution. In this case large granite boulders, or a beautiful clay statue can be used. Terracotta pots filled with potting soil make a great Earth remedy. Earth also represents the Mountain.
Earth tone colors can be used, but they are not nearly as effective as the actual element.
Earth represents the North East or the Gen Trigram (8). It also represents the South West or the Kun Trigram (2). Additionally, it represents the “Center” of the Master Trigram (5). Energetically speaking, Kun - Earth (2) and the center representation (also called a star) of “5″ can have negative influences, whereas the Gen Trigram (North East - 8 - also referred to as the Mountain) can have a very prosperous influence.
