What I Have Learned About Calming Different Astrology Signs
While I am not a professional astrologer, I have always had a strong interest in astrology, and I continue to learn more of the actual science of astrology every day. However, because of my empathic abilities, my strong interest in astrology, coupled with my early on need to understand what made others “feel” the way they did to me, I long ago began to realize that certain personalities, astrological signs, or elements had a certain “feel” to their energy to me. As spirit uses whatever the medium “knows” to pass messages, spirit often uses astrology through my empathic abilities, to pass messages about a person I am reading for, people who may show up in the reading, as well as a way to sometimes date specific events in a person’s life I am reading for.
Over my years of reading for others, I have observed a great many similarities among the same astrological signs, such as what types of things calm them as well as motivate them. Being an avid researcher and continuous student, these things combined with answers and information received from my own guides both for others, and myself, have only strengthened my understanding of the blueprints to personalities, life, and challenges contained within astrology.
For those who are students of astrology, these things may seem simple common sense, however, for those who are not, perhaps these suggestions may help you in finding ways to naturally calm yourself.
What Speaks to a Sun Sign?
The four elements are divided into water, air, earth, and fire. Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio are the three water signs. Libra, Gemini, and Aquarius belong in the air category. Virgo, Taurus, and Capricorn represent the earth element. Finally, Aries, Sagittarius, and Leo share the fire element.
Quite simply what naturally calms each astrological sign, and can very easily be used to enter a natural state of meditation, are within the elements of each sign. Different things in relation to each element seem to appeal more to different individuals, depending on other aspects of their astrological chart, however, I have found that most always, when one finds something that immediately calms them, it is in line with the element associated with their sun sign.
I have certainly observed other things that an individual also may draw themselves to for calming in addition to those things associated with their sun sign element. I have found those additional things outside the natural element of the sun sign to usually match the moon sign. However, there are exceptions in the observations within all elements or signs, that I am sure might make more sense to someone who is more experienced in the actual science of astrology.
These are not facts, but observations, and a few suggestions in relation to each sign. You may find some from your sun sign element or even your moon sign element that help you to naturally calm yourself, and/or motivate you from the still spot of natural meditation.
Water Signs
(Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer)
Hearing, seeing, and/or feeling running water
Being near natural running water (ocean, creek, mountain stream) is the ultimate for water signs. Taking it in with all the senses helps dramatically, and in my opinion is the best, when possible.
When actual nature is not available to you in the moment, running water from a faucet over pulse points, (such as the wrists) works nicely for many.
Nice baths and showers work wonders. A Jacuzzi or hot tub works well, too.
When running water is not available, rubbing lotion on pulse points, such as the wrists, and neck area under the ears, brings some relief, as it feels wet, which is refreshing to a water sign.
Listening to natural sounds of water with or without a relaxing music backdrop through natural sounds mp3 downloads, CD’s, etc.
Believe it or not, watching fish swim in a fish aquarium, brings a calming to many who were born under water signs.
Earth Signs
(Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn)
Now – For earth signs, one might think that it is mostly things associated with the physical earth that would most help those who are earth signs, and although there are some, the things I have observed that help earth signs the most, and put them in their meditative spot or creative plane, are associated with the material plane.
Shopping and spending money seem to help many earth signs relieve stress and/or calm themselves.
Creating artwork or anything else that is visually appealing.
Rearranging furniture or decorations, pictures, etc, in their personal environment, or decorating in some way
Nature walks or hikes.
Listening to the sounds of nature especially with music, or even music alone.
Working with wood in some way. (or even furniture, such as with antiques, restoring or collecting)
Fire Signs
(Leo, Sagittarius, Aries)
Staring into (or feeling the warmth of) and open flame, such as a burning candle, bonfire, fire in a fireplace, or fire bowl, etc. seems to be of a great benefit to many fire signs.
Being in direct sunlight, or solitary outside activities where direct sunlight is felt offers a refresher for many fire signs.
Exercising, in many different forms helps many fire signs to calm themselves, perhaps because it puts the body in a more heated state.
One means for fire signs, that honestly has seemed out of place to me that I have observed over and over, is digging in the earth, meaning activities such as planting, gardening, etc seems to help fire signs, especially Leos.
And though some of you fire signs may not like me saying so, another one that rejuvenates and calms a fire sign that doesn’t exactly fit the “fire” is naps rejuvenate these folks, more so than other elements in my observations.
Air Signs
(Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Being out in the open air. (Especially around water for those born under the sign of Aquarius, though that may or may not be true for the sister signs)
Opening all the windows in the house and letting the fresh air in, or riding in a car with the windows down.
Any solitary activity outdoors in nature with the fresh air and sounds of nature.
Listening to nature sounds through mp3s, CDs, etc., especially birds, although, again, aquarians may like the sounds of water, too.
Going and seeing attractions or things associated with history, especially one with an intellectual element often seem to bring feelings of rejuvenation or motivation to air signs.
Bird watching
Certainly for all creative individual types, no matter what the astrological sign, according to what their creative leaning is, writing, singing, playing a musical instrument, dancing, drawing, painting, etc., these things always take one to that still spot within that brings both calming and rejuvenation of spirit.
