Grounding: Tempering the Swords

I’ve been trying to solve this little puzzle: call it all the Swords in my readings, or all the Air in my chart.

It’s O V E R thinking.

And it’s counter-productive.

It’s also a way of life.

I’ve been thinking about my suits and elements and how to balance them - how can I strengthen the rest of my elements to counter all the air? My chart is awash with water and air and when I started reading the tarot I found myself really enticed by chasing wands, finding my fire, and then started to notice where it was in my chart. And I suppose all of those things help to some degree, but what I’m really lacking is earth. (And why I’m naturally drawn into relationships with earth signs I suppose.)

I’ve got so little earth going on. Mars in Taurus in III (plus Chiron and Fortune but I haven’t learnt that far yet!) and 12th house cusp in Capricorn. So if this theory holds true, that strengthening my earth factors can help balance out all the thinking that drives me crazy, then these might be the things to focus on: anger and action particularly in communication (find ways to enjoy/sink into it?) and then possibly spirituality or delving into intuition/subconscious (which could be why I was drawn to the tarot in the first place, why it calms me down and brings me joy).

I’m just throwing things out here. I still think balance is the key. Paying attention to the shadows and giving them their time in the sun. Digging out the lesser-known things about myself so that I can feel more fulfilled.
