    With the world's attention on the volcano La Cumbre Vieja on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands of Spain, is Mount Aso still erupting to this time?

    Das Feuerelement regiert das Herz, ein HERZ ohne Liebe wird ängstlich und man bekommt eventl. Depressionen. MIT Feuer vernichten wir die Wälder und heizen die Atmosphäre auf. Jetzt zeigt uns Mutter Erde ihre Feuerkraft. Geben wir ihr endlich Dankbarkeit und Wertschätzung und lernen wieder in Einklang mit ihr zu leben.
