But if there are no balancing elements, earth's extremes could lead to being a workaholic, hoarding of possessions, pettiness, getting stuck in the mundane, stubbornness, etc. The modalities or qualities make the earth signs different—this is how you can know one from another.
In their triplicity or grouping by element, they differ in that each belongs to another group known in astrology as "qualities. Capricorn is a Cardinal sign, known for its initiatory nature, Taurus is a Fixed sign, and it sinks into the Earth perhaps the deepest, and Virgo is a Mutable sign, characterized by changeability. Earth signs can help the emotional Water signs find tangible outlets for imaginative gifts. Like the banks to a flowing river, the Earth sign can guide the Water sign toward a goal. Water can help Earth by softening its rigid structure.
Think about how a potter uses water to soften, and then re-shape clay on the wheel. Similarly, water nourishes the ground of Earth with a feeling of being cared for. The inspirational quality of Fire signs brings a sense of adventure to the lives of Earth signs. Earth signs are be energized by Fire signs, as long as they take it slow. A little Fire goes a long way with Earth. On the other hand, Fire can be guided by Earth's mastery of structure.
All those brilliant ideas can begin to take shape with Earth as your worldly advisor. When Earth meets Air , it's like opening the window to let the fresh air in. It can be exhilarating to Earth to be lifted up if only temporarily, to see from the lofty heights of fantasy and rapid ideation. But if Air doesn't offer Earth anything tangible, only pies in the sky, there could be a loss of respect.
As with the other signs, Earth brings Air down to ground level and offers practical ways to take a concept to reality. Air can find Earth stuffy and slow, but will begrudgingly respect the way they get things done.
Libra (astrology)
Here is a power duo, able to build empires, plan things down to the last detail and always with one eye on preparing for the future. Without someone to share their lives with, they feel utterly incomplete. This is why many people with this position get involved in marriages or living-together arrangements quite young. Because this drive for harmony, peace, and sharing is so powerful, Lunar Librans are apt to do a lot of conceding.
They are sympathetic and concerned for others, enjoy socializing, and revel in a good debate. Mental rapport with others is especially important to them.
Lunar Librans feel safe and secure when they are in a partnership. These are the people who seem to always need to have someone tag along with them wherever they go — even if it is to the corner store. They find strength and reinforcement in and through others. Both men and women with this position are often quite charming.
They can be very attractive to be around, and are often given to flirtatiousness. Rarely directly aggressive, these people win your heart with their gentle and refined ways. Although diplomatic with acquaintances, when Moon in Libra natives argue with their long-standing partners, they rarely let up until they win.

And, winning an argument is a Libran specialty—in fact, they may not even believe what they are saying, but will adopt all kinds of ideas just to get the last word. Living with Lunar Librans can sometimes feel like you are on trial, and Libra is the expert lawyer. Sometimes, though, Libra is defending you and supporting your point of view. Looking for that one elusive perfect way to lead their lives can detract from enjoyment of the moment.
Libra communicators come across as very pleasing. Diplomacy comes naturally to these natives. At the very least, they take many pains to be diplomatic. Whether they succeed or not depends on their audience—but more on that later.
Mercury in Libra people long for equality in the intellectual world. They view mental affinity as one of the most important themes in any relationship they have. If they are not getting it and many do not , they should look within themselves for answers. Perhaps they are trying too hard to score intellectual points with their partners instead of truly listening to what they are saying. Libra can go off on so many tangents, and offer excessive disclaimers for any opinion presented, that they end up all over the place.
If you think Virgo is critical and a perfectionist, spend some time with a Mercury in Libra person and many of them have Virgo Suns too. But because they always aim to be kind and fair, they employ tact to get their message across. Mercury in Libra comes across in an unassuming manner, and handles people with care. One accountant I know whose Mercury is in Libra feels she instinctively hones in on imbalances in her work. Mercury in Libra looks for compromise. The middle ground is constantly sought.
In fact, they are extraordinarily uncomfortable with extremes of opinion! This makes them excellent counselors and go-betweens, but it also gives rise to plenty of indecision in their personal lives. It can be dizzying for others to observe! This is a paradox because Libra is charming, but give them a little time with something, and they will have a hard time arriving at a totally good or totally bad conclusion.
Their ability to think in the abstract gives them a good measure of objectivity.

They not only prefer to choose the middle road, they seek the middle ground in their relationships. Venus in Libra men and women have idealized images of their relationships, even to the point where the relationship becomes bigger than life, taking on a life of its own.

Foreplay for them can be mental — they love to communicate with you about the relationship.

Sharing turns them on, and tactless or uncouth behavior is a turn-off. Although they seem to put up with a lot, be fair with them. Over time, imbalance in their relationship is sure to make them unhappy, and when it comes to this, they may try to even the score in subtle, roundabout ways. Mars in Libra natives often reflect about things before they act. Decisiveness is not their strong point, but they do, eventually, get things done.

Although their overall goal is to live peacefully, they stir others up with their desire to balance everything. Still, they always play innocent when they are challenged, and can generally charm the birds out of the trees to win your favor. Passive-aggressiveness is practically the hallmark of this position. Too often, this results in sneaky behavior and subterfuge. On the other hand, some Mars in Libra people turn Mars energy into action, and they fight for Libran justice and fairness in the world.
