Water

Water is one of the four elements, the temperament of emotion and feeling. Its signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, which share a feeling, sensitive, instinctive nature. Water is concerned with the inner life, with emotion, empathy, and the unseen currents that link people. A person with strong water feels intensely and senses what lies beneath the surface, most content when their emotional life and close bonds are full. Water belongs to the yin polarity, drawing its energy inward. Each water sign carries the element differently. Cancer is the water of care and emotional safety, Scorpio the water of depth and transformation, and Pisces the water of compassion and imagination. The gift of water is empathy, intuition, and emotional intelligence. Too much of it overwhelms, showing up as moodiness, absorbing the feelings of others, or slipping into escape. Too little can leave a person cold or distant, finding feeling hard to reach. Water works best when its depth is honored and given enough form not to sweep the person away.
