The Water Element: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces:

Bending with the Flow

Each of the astrological zodiac signs belongs to one of four classical elements in astrology: fire, earth, air or water. Astrological elements are only one tiny part of the complex jigsaw which makes up an astrology chart but understanding how the elements work and how they relate to one another helps with a basic understanding of the principles of astrology.

Which Zodiac Signs are Water Signs?

The three water signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

What Does the Water Element Mean in Astrology?

Astrologically, the water element represents sensitivity, intuition, compassion, emotions and passivity.

Generally speaking, water people are kind, compassionate and strongly governed by their feelings and their emotions rather than by logic or reason. They have an ethereal quality about them and are in touch with their mystical, spiritual side. Gentle and loving, water signs are imaginative and sensitive, easily hurt and sometimes overwhelmed by life. All of the water signs are also somewhat changeable, switching moods easily, reflecting how water fills any container it is given.

The water element in astrology is seen as being passive and receptive, and it’s true that water sign people can have strong empathy, picking up on feelings and emotions around them and in the atmosphere, sometimes to a degree which makes it hard for them to cope with negativity. This means that they can find it difficult to escape from depression, or to find a logical way through a difficult period. They need stability and a safe refuge when the sea gets rough and stormy.

To understand elements in astrology, it’s always helpful to refer back to nature. Water, as you know, brings life to the land and without it nothing can survive. The water element moves our emotions to the heights of ecstasy and the depths of despair, often scarily quickly. However, water can also drown us, and a downpour of emotions can sometimes ruin the most pleasant of days.

What are the Differences Between the Three Water Signs?

If there are three water signs, you might be wondering what’s different about each one. After all, if they’re all based on water and its sensitivity and fluidity, aren’t they the basically the same?

No. As well as element grouping, we also group astrological signs by another set of criteria: their quality or mode. The three modes are cardinal, mutable and fixed, and in each group of elemental signs, there will be one of each mode. Because each water sign has a different mode, the element of water manifests slightly differently in each one.

Cancer is a cardinal water sign.
Scorpio is a fixed water sign.
Pisces is a mutable water sign.

How does this work in practice? Let’s see:

Cancer is a cardinal water sign, so this sign channels the water element through taking positive action. Although sensitive and sometimes moody, Cancer is fundamentally a practical, canny sign. Here is the water element using emotions to govern and direct change. Think of water as a heavy rain shower, perhaps causing some disruption but quickly clearing. Cancer as a zodiac sign has strong leadership potential, precisely because of this knack for working with emotions rather than against them. This water sign is known as a worrier and for being very protective of self and loved ones; in some ways, Cancer uses the water element as a barrier and these individuals can be difficult to get to know properly.

Scorpio on the other hand is a fixed water sign. Here the water element is a tempest at sea, a seething cauldron of bubbling water with waves which can engulf the unwary. Scorpio emotions are ever present and simply cannot be ignored; the fixed quality of this sign ensures that the water element dominates thoughts, actions and moods. Know for emotional outbursts, jealousy and passion, Scorpio is a zodiac sign which has hidden depths. If you can get below the storm waves, there are many shipwrecks waiting to be explored, some of which have secret treasure and some of which have secret traps.

Pisces, the last of the water signs, is a mutable water sign. Here, the water element is a mysterious lake – bright, sunny and full of happy families one day, shrouded in fog, creepy and eerie the next. The mutable quality means that Pisces is the most adaptable and easily led of all the water signs, which can be a mixed blessing. This water sign’s ability to embrace the spirituality of water is one of its greatest strengths, but Pisces can be very gullible and easily used by others. When you gaze into the lake which forms Pisces’ water element, the reflection you see is what you want to see. Pisces can be all things to all people, but maintaining their own true identity is not always easy.

How to Balance Water Energy in Your Birth Chart

If your Sun sign isn’t Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces, you might think that the water element doesn’t really apply to you – not so! It’s very likely that water is in your birth chart somewhere, probably due to at least one of the other planets being in a water sign.

In any case, it’s important for your wellbeing that all four elements are balanced in your astrological makeup. Depending on your birth chart, you may have just the right amount of water, or you may have too much, or too little.

If you don’t have enough water in your natal chart, you may feel disconnected from your emotions, aloof, unimaginative or cut off from your spiritual self.

What about too much water? Well, that could make you feel drained by other people’s emotions, overwhelmed by worry or zapped by psychic forces.

A simple way to estimate your water element balance is to look at a chart showing which signs belong to which elements. Cross off the elements of your Sun sign, your Ascendant sign, your Moon sign and your ruling planet. If none of those are water you may be lacking in water, although ideally, we’d look your whole birth chart to check.

If you think you may be lacking in water, here are some simple ideas to bring the ethereal sensitivity and intuition of water into your life:

· Swim
· Watch the ocean or sit by a pond or lake
· Sit in the rain and let it run down your face
· Visit a waterfall
· Take a long bath
· Splash in puddles
· Water the garden
· Mix different colors of water together
· Drink pure spring water
· Watch fish in an aquarium
· Play with waterbombs
· Wear blue, silver or aqua colors

If on the other hand you think you have too much water, you can try to balance that out by introducing activities associated with fire, which is an element that can counter water:

· Sit by a warm fire and get toasty
· Soak up the radiance of a bonfire
· Sunbathe (safely) or dig your toes into warm sand
· Wear red, orange of yellow clothing
· Make patterns with a sparkler
· Brainstorm a creative project and bring something exciting to life

When the water element is properly balanced in your chart, you’ll experience astrological water through a strengthening intuition and a deeper connection with humanity. The water element reminds us of our connection to the universal consciousness, so it’s vital to get this element into proper balance, especially if you’re striving for spiritual growth.

    Hey, Kelly. I am ready. If I had known I was going to be recording this, I would have worn some makeup. So anyway. Oh, that's my vanity speaking. Sorry about that. But anyway, I do love listening to you and I always acquire a lot of knowledge. I've been studying astrology since I was about eleven years old. I love it and I can't get enough of it. But I just wanted to let you know that I loved that quote from Eleanor Roosevelt that you put on there. It's so true. We need to live life while we have it and make the best of it. And astrology will help us lead the way. I'm assured of that. Anything we can learn when it comes to astrology will only help us to live a better life. And by your volunteering all your information, I thank you a million times over. You are such an asset. And I know the stars and the planets are shining down upon you and I listen to you all the time on YouTube and your Zoom channel and have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope your throat feels better. Kelli keeps drinking some hot. Thank you for everything you do. My name is Judith and I'm from Greensboro, North Carolina, and I'm a cancer and I love all of what you have to say. Thank you. Bye.

    Hello there. This is era. I'm answering your video and I'm a little intimidated because I'm on it. So let's just use this one for you and me before I try to check with the audience. But, yeah, when I got your email and read everything, you were speaking right to my heart. Right to my heart. My spirit told me that this was a good thing. And I'm a crab cancer. We don't just trust anybody. It takes a long time for people to get our trust. But you're the real deal. You are the real deal. And that's why I had to write you and let you know that the only reason why I wasn't getting it today was because of my circumstances. I'm looking forward to my new life. I got the world card today, and that means I'm getting ready to step into a new life that I deserve. I must say, you're awesome. I haven't had a chance to see everything you've done, but I've seen enough to know that it's going to go straight to my heart. I know that, like I said, let's not share this with the world yet. This is just for you. But I promise, when I get her, I'll be glad to do that for someone else who may be in my place that is looking for something besides fluff. They're looking for something real. And I do believe that's what you have, my dear. Something real.

Spiritually, I'm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, otherwise known as Mormonism. Our god is directing me. You're right. You're completely right. I know my worth. I know where I'm supposed to be headed, what I'm supposed to be doing, just by feeling my own heart and my own decisions that he's giving me. He's giving me. How do I explain this? Perfect situations to just choose from. And if I'm choosing the right, then I get many blessings from you guys. Numerologists, moon readings, all of that, and it all comes together and ties into my life perfectly. So I'm so appreciative of what you guys are doing and it is changing me for the better and I'm excited to see what's to come. And that's really all I've got to say.

But throughout time comes I've been learning a lot about myself. A whole lot about myself, thanks to you guys.

    Hi, Kelli. Just want you to know that your daily email and the guidance you send it really matters. I'm not sure if it's specific to me or if it's for the collective, but what I do know is that when I received a message, it happens to be what I'm going through currently, or I'm experiencing currently. I thank you for your selfless acts. You're consistent, and I always look forward to reading what you have gathered or gotten from the spiritual guides and all of the spiritual team, the Light team. I am going through a tough period right now in my life, and that's seems to be the song through my whole life. But I do have faith and believe that it has to get better or things have to turn around. It just has to. I thank you.
