Earth signs are "stubborn," because they have a natural proclatvity for life, which gives them what can appear to the outsider as a bratty entitlement when in really, they are simply not practiced at struggling through challenges.
I look at this similarly the almost paradoxical energy of Saturn. For example, my Saturn is in Aries. I have an innate skill of charging headfirst at all things and I struggle to sit still in any capacity but I'm so naturally proficient at this, it causes problems of excess fire. I am quick to heat up and I burn out incredibly quickly.
I liken this to my Neptune in Capricorn (6th house). I feel like I have always been drawn strongly to the occult, the magical, the spiritual. However, while I've had a natural access to the subtle realm, I've never learned what practice and struggle look like, or how to achieve at skills that don't come to me naturally. It's actually really overwhelming. I get constant messages and downloads, my empathy is hyper vigilant (conjoined with childhood trauma), and only when I focus can I really see the forest through the trees. Because I'm so hard-wired for this disposition, anything outside of it feels like an uphill battle. The other side of this is that it distances me from other aspects of my life. I charge headfirst into spiritual aspects and I'm prone to neglecting my physical body and earthly commitments. I understand people's energies before I hear the words they say or comprehend what they're trying to communicate, especially if that person is experiencing inner discord.
I attribute my love of life to my Sun (10th) and Venus (11th) in Taurus. It's easy for me to see the bright side of things and I often believe my most shining quality is my love of love itself. However, feeling actual love from other, real humans is a challenge for me. When I feel let down or abandoned, its a devastating blow that I don't know how to cope with. Love and abundance comes so naturally for me, being without feels like I've lost a part of who I am. It feels like my whole heart shuts down and I can't access anything that's left inside.
If you've experienced the "Savant (Au/ADHD) Student to Burnt Out Adult" pipeline and for the purpose of this post have strong Earth placements, I want to hear your takes! Does any of this resonate? Do you disagree? Ofc not every experience can be universal but it's fun when they are. 🤪🌻🐂 Loving kindness.
