Earth element

Earth (土), the element of stability and nourishment, of late summer and the steady centre. It holds and gathers like fertile ground: grounded, reliable, nurturing, and practical, the peacemaker others lean on. Its virtue is faithfulness (信); out of balance it grows stubborn or stuck.
