The Water Types

The element of water is associated with the signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Water signs are emotional, sensitive and compassionate. Rivers run deep in this element and nothing is shallow. After a long hard day at work, we long to sink into a nice warm bath, and this is a similar feeling to the protective embrace of a water sign woman, she is the only one who understands, sympathises and knows just what you need.

Neptune was named after the Roman sea god, and given rulership of Pisces, and so her emotions are changeable, choppy, and fluid, just like the sea. Looking out at the ocean it’s difficult to know where it begins or ends, it’s so huge, vast and endless. The Sun and Moon both reflect on her cool water, and in the daytime she mirrors back the warm, golden colours of the Sun, but in the night time she dresses in shimmering sliver and reflects the Moon's light across the shoreline.

The sea is both beautiful and dangerous, and when she is raging a storm, nobody is safe. Neptunian forces operate in ways that are completely beyond our control and she rules over the unconscious. A rich dream life, imagination, and feelings are all part of her realm, but in her darkest hours she can drown in alcohol, fall into temporary madness, confusion and despair. Pisces is full of mystery and secrets, but there is great sadness under those blue waves. Her sympathy is boundless and limitless, and her water distorts and blurs everything. Pisceans are pretty much unfathomable, but that is part of the attraction, you just can’t figure her out.

Water people can brood, particularly Cancer and Scorpio. As ruler of the tides, it is fitting that the Moon should rule our emotions, and finds it home in Cancer. In Cancer, feelings are always active (cardinal) internally and she trusts her feelings, memories and gut instincts. The Moon’s fortunes start off full and bright and then her light begins to diminish, so she understands the ebb and flow of life. The Moon changes signs every two days, and she is compared to the swiftly flowing river. There is great gentleness, vulnerability and softness here, and she needs to be needed. Cancer protects, nurtures and supports, and she expresses a great depth of love for people. The self-sacrificing nature of Cancer is more often of an active kind, rather than passive, like Pisces. The crab has a hard outer shell, but is a softie inside, and she can be hurt very easily.

Poor Scorpio has been accused of not wanting to date, but to take hostages rather than lovers. The jokes can be cruel. Scorpio’s are dammed sexy and some of us might go willingly into their lair, even if it means we can never see our family and friends again! Scorpio is like the frozen lake, and it’s difficult to see beneath her surface, unless you have an ice pick. The physicality of death reveals some of Scorpio's stillness and coldness. However, as a water sign, she is full of intense feeling underneath, and extremely loyal to love ones. The Scorpio woman is full of dark mystery, and there is much more beneath the surface than meets the eye. Ice is the least fluid and she doesn’t let go easily, she takes a long time to thaw out. One word of advice about Scorpio is that she does go to extremes of passionate heat to frozen withdrawal. Nobody else will love and hate with the same intensity. You can have a life-long companionship with Scorpio or a lifelong enemy, and I know which one I would prefer. There is a wonderful poem about Scorpio’s Love, by Ron S king:

When Scorpio loves, it’s to full effect
No deeper and passionate can love feel
So hot and cold are emotions to select
This fire and ice, love of all time’s steal
There is a strong need to partner care
A joint demand for loyalty and committing
A new beginning with just love to share
A new-life time for love that’s fitting
A Scorpio’s love is powerfully intense
Sensual and sexy with strong desires
One has to burst through the wall’s defence
To discover the burning passion-fires
Awareness has to made of base emotions
The tides of jealousy and nature’s case
Any dominating force with fixed intention
That cuts the nose to spite the poor face
But powerful love is Scorpio’s trait
To love strong and deep, to last so well
To share all the glory with a chosen mate
Scorpio love is between heaven and hell
