apart from being divided in 12 zodiac signs And 12 related houses, The zodiac is divided into four elements: air, water, fire, and earth. Within the water element we find signs cancer, scorpioAnd Pisces,
Although each of these signs has their own strengths and challenges, their ruling element lends itself to common ground, or ground water.
Highly imaginative, water signs are prone to creativity, vivid dreams, and keen insight. Water signs “feel” their way around the world, relying on instinct and emotion to guide them.
Pisces Anais Nin may have spoken on behalf of all water signs when she compared herself to a mermaid, writing, “I have no great fear of the depth and am deeply afraid of the shallow life.”
These people exist to feel and find communion and transformation through emotional experience.
The zodiac signs and elements are divided into feminine (earth and water) and masculine (fire and air) signs; This distinction is not related to gender so much as to yin and yang, or to the dichotomy of passive, receptive, internal energy versus active, projected, external energy.
The feminine water signs, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, tend to hold on to energy, get it from those around them, internalize it, and often retain it longer than necessary or nurturing.
Along with receptivity, there is also a danger of seeking external validation among water signs.
This modus operandi lends itself to instability and a tendency to be deeply oblivious to endings: relationships, careers, Mufasa’s death scene in “The Lion King” etc.
The emotional quality of water signs is intrinsically vulnerable, but as any therapist worth their salt and trained in Jungian interpretation will tell you, vulnerability is the truest strength.
Water signs are ultimately looking for passage and release. They need a direction to point their prodigious emotional energy and a method of catharsis to clear the negative or challenging currents they have collected.
Water signs, at their highest expression, can provide refreshing insight and compassionate clarity. In their lowest vibrational setting, they are guilty of passive-aggressive manipulation and emotional waterboarding.

water signs in love
The intense sensitivity of water signs is often preserved by early isolation.
These people can’t trust their marshmallow insides with anyone. Because they feel deeply and are easily hurt, they are more savvy than other signs when it comes to opening the chambers of their oceanic hearts.
In love, water signs seek reassurance from their partner through words and physical touch. They need to feel safe before they feel safe enough to share their entirety.
Once security is ensured, the attachment style of water signs can be quite intense, being nautical in its scope and tidal in its vibe. These guys dive deep and hold on tight.
Water needs a feeling of stability; Without a container to hold it or a river bank to anchor it, it is at risk of drying up or flooding. Often, water signs seek this containment through their romantic relationships, hoping that another person will provide them a safe haven.
It’s no surprise that boundaries within relationships are a perennial water fight; This relates back to prevention. It is difficult for them not to be influenced by others and vice versa; Sometimes it’s hard for water signs to determine where their partner’s needs and desires end and their own begin. Alone, water is formless and feels appropriately formless, but the lesson for water signs is to find shape in the scaffolding of their selfishness rather than in the blurry mix of their romantic entanglements.
signs of water and fire
The bubble of cauldron, water intersects with fire’s sometimes tactless approach while fire encourages water to be courageous and seek reward and acknowledgment for their accomplishments.
water and earth signs
Water evolves the Earth, makes it more resilient and invites people of the crust to connect with it and fully express their often neglected emotions. Prithvi reminds Paani to take snack breaks between true crime events.
water and air signs
Here, we find a balance between the cerebral and the emotional. Water gives air the meaning of removing cold, and air gives water lightness and communicability.
water and water signs
Water signs get protection and the quality of being “seen” by other signs of the same element. The best mix is the mix itself – i.e., Scorpio and Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.
watermark at work
When water finds its purpose, it flows easily and powerfully in its service. Water signs are made for careers that focus on spirituality, investigation, and or caring. They thrive in environments where their supernatural gifts of intuition and empathy can flourish. Water signs’ ability to read and respond to the emotional energy of others contributes to their success in a collaborative workplace.
Water sign natives are prone to drastic mood swings, and in the workplace, they should be wary of an all-or-nothing approach that may make them appear extreme or erratic to others.
Water signs need a stimulating work environment because any kind of stagnation is a dangerous stagnation for them. Properly channeled and effectively challenged, water signs, like hydroelectric power, have the potential to illuminate widely and completely.
Ideal careers for water signs: social worker, creative director, orchestra conductor, lawyer, nurse, scuba instructor, pre-k teacher, underwater basket weaver
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
ruler: Moon
quality: Cardinal
Moon-ruled Cancer has a reputation among water people for being the most outwardly sentimental and unapologetically disinterested.
Ruler of the fourth house of home and lineage, Cancerians focus on the past and, worse, the pink-colored, gingham-draped past that never was.
This idealization is harmful to the Crab crew, as it prevents them from processing the pain and moving into the unknown.
True transformation and real intimacy for Cancerians comes not through caring for others and the control they provide, but through exposing themselves and elevating the personal to the universal.
Look no further than Apex Cancer for proof of promoting the past Lana Del ReyWhich reconfigures American aesthetics and imagines its history to the tune of music, offering it as an ode to the collective, as a catharsis through return and escape.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
ruler: Mars and Scorpio
quality: fixed
As a fixed water sign, Scorpio finds meaning through mining, whether it’s their own pain or the underground currents of humanity at large.
If Scorpio were a water sign, it would be a swamp at night; Calm and hazy, full of vibrancy and likely to swallow you whole.
Ruled by the planet of war and the planet of death, Scorpio is secretive, strategic, and a little more psychic. Obsessed with extremes and obsessions, control and liberation are themes and lessons that Scorpions are born to learn through and from.
Scorpio Travis Barker shows off his penchant for extremes by doubling down on tattoos, Covering up former flame Shanna Moakler’s name With a scorpion (feel the sting, y’all) and adding a black ink impression of wife Kourtney Kardashian’s lips.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
ruler: Neptune and Jupiter
quality: variable
Headed by trident-wielding sea father Neptune, Pisces may be the quintessential water sign.
The poet, the nihilist, the caring bear, the martyred lover with a marshmallow heart, Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac and, as such, is the sum total of all the trauma and transcendence that came before it.
Highly attuned to the emotional currents of others, Pisces are also intuitively aware of the ethereal and the esoteric, the inexpressible and the invisible. they believe in ghosts And love in equal measure.
These are looking for people who easily become overwhelmed by their ability to feel and as a result, sometimes through sex, drugs, excessive drinking, meditation, sensory deprivation and/or bad romance. There is a need to separate from the world.
