| The energy of Autumn. Inspirational, solemn and detached. Metal element is our connection to heaven, to that creative, guardian force which stands beyond everything. This element within us gives us a sense of self-worth, an understanding of uniqueness and value of our individuality. Metal is looking for meaning in everything. The essence of things which might be hidden from others is so obvious to Metal people. They are looking for purity and perfection constantly valuing and assessing every step of their lives as well as the others. But despite all their awareness some part of them is always standing aside with their are eyes to the heaven longing for the unreachable. |
