 To understand the elemental relationships between the cards, we should always take into account their actual meaning. The elements of the cards are Earth (Two of Pentacles) and Earth (Empress). A very strong combination that shows stability and steady progress. If ill-aspected, it shows a rigid, stubborn approach/attitude and resistance to change.
