Earth is the body, matter, stability and the mother who nourishes. In dreams it speaks of your roots, your security and your relationship with the physical world.
When the dream feels light
Fertile, ploughed earth promises results, stability and growth.
When the dream feels dark
An earthquake, a hole or barren ground points to insecurity, loss of foundations or exhaustion.
Ask yourself
How firm is the ground under my feet?

The card of this dream
Ace of Pentacles. A golden seed, a new opportunity in the material world. A hand emerges from a cloud holding a golden pentacle above a flowering garden, with an arch leading out to the mountains. It is the seed of earth: a new material opportunity, prosperity, health and a solid beginning.
