Being logical and being practical are two different things. Earth signs aren’t logical, they’re practical. Their actions are often planned based on what is the most effective course of action. They think success, and what yields most results. This is why they can be avoidant of

Their emotions. A logical mind would try to understand their own emotions/feelings, or make sense of emotions of other people even without the person being visibly emotional - air signs. A practical mind understands emotions through what makes most sense to them and often,

Would rather not try to understand/sit through the emotions of others/self because they look at emotions as impractical, as ineffective, like they don’t do anything for you and nothing good comes from being emotional. When an earth sign is emotional, it’s because they realise

They cannot try to ignore their emotions to be practical. They’re not robots. Emotions and day to day productivity go hand in hand. Ignoring your emotions because they’re impractical, will slow down progress because mentally you’ll start to shut down and lose motivation or drive.

Emotions can’t be escaped. A logical mind tries to overly rationalise emotions, to the point they end up dismissing theirs or the emotions of others because they keep trying to make sense of it or justify it or analyse it. This is air territory. Earth feels they understand

Emotions but they actually often do not, they understand it as far as their brains can allow them to. But to understand emotions, you need to dismiss the practical side of things and become logical and accept your own emotions as acceptable, valid and useful. If you see them as

The enemy or a negative thing or something that should be controlled/monitored/saved for particular moments/given in particular doses/handled in a particular way, then you clearly do not understand emotions. Emotions are not to be understood through earth/air mind. They’re to be

Felt, and through feeling ne empathising, does understanding come in. Emotional understanding comes through relating, sympathising, feeling, empathising, embracing etc. These two feel like they do because they’re either practical or logical but they end up having huge disconnects

With their own emotions or that of people who are more emotionally in tune than them like water suns.

Moral of the story. Earth is NOT logical. It is practical. AIR deals with logic.
