Peacemakers are the mother figures of the world. They are nurturers and loyal friends. They constantly put everyone else’s needs above their own, and they’re happy to be relied upon by their friends, family and community. They are stable, dependable and practical. Earth can be traditional and set in their ways. They are happy with a familiar routine, and resistant to a lot of change. They’re altruistic, humble, and the first person you would call if you need someone to lean on.

You go out of your way to not ruffle feathers. Earths do not like change and can become controlling if taken to the extreme. Worry is your default emotion, especially when something seems out of your control that could lead to possible change.

Your balancing element:
Wood — also use the Wood element in your wardrobe! Earth people are very nurturing, solid and grounded. They work patiently and consistently and are deeply understanding of others. But Earths can also be over-cautious, indecisive, and resistant to change. Wood materials, colors, and silhouettes will create gentle growth and movement for someone who has a difficult time moving forward or embracing change.
