The Grounding of Care
Earthly types are natural diplomats and pacifists who adapt to and support everyone with the goal of achieving peace, harmony, and wellbeing for all.
Characterized by patience, generosity, collaboration, and a deep commitment to caring for others.
When regenerated, they are pillars of strength and stability. When drained by conflict or chaos, they become self-sacrificing or withdrawn. Unlike Aquatic types who can energize from emotional intensity, Earthly types are truly drained by any form of conflict or disharmony.
When Earthly types enter shadow, their nurturing becomes self-abandonment. They give until empty, then harbor resentment. Their harmony-seeking may enable dysfunction or avoid necessary conflict. They may use care-giving as control, creating dependency rather than growth. Their own needs become invisible, even to themselves.
