Water

The Element of Water is attached to the Signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and it also rules the Fourth, Eighth and Twelfth Houses. The watery words flow with this Element: fluid, flowing, wavering. These terms can easily apply to an individual's emotions, which are exactly the realm in which Water operates. Water Signs are intuitive, sensitive and feel more intensely than the rest. They are emotional and nurturing and, like a river, run deep. How things feel is what matters to these folks, and they base their actions on sense, rather than intellect. Water is also about compassion and understanding, since the receptive talents of these individuals is remarkably high. Watery folks can take in the feelings of others, process them, and put forth a plan or solution that will be empathetic to all. Those graced by Water love to take their sense of the world and translate it to the artistic. They want a beautiful aesthetic, and for everyone to be happy as a result. Much like still Water becomes stagnant, however, a watery person who is inactive will not be at their best. Water Signs feel most fulfilled when they are helping others, and they do so in an enchanting, considerate and even romantic way. The flip side of this water world is the tendency of those graced by this Element to brood. Water Signs are susceptible to mood swings, and at their worst, they could become self-indulgent, controlling and hostage to a fantasy world. This also brings up the ability of these folks to see things more clearly than others. Call it psychic, if you will. Water Signs are emotional, receptive and feel things deeply. Alternately calm like the sea or possessing the force of a torrential rain, the emotions brought forth by this Element are plentiful, indeed.
