Water Signs

In astrology a water sign refers to any of the signs Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces. 

 

According to astrological theory, water signs are characteristically intuitive, imaginative and deeply emotional.

 

In human equations, water signs are generally supposed to be reserved and not gregarious, but are exceedingly passionate. This intense passion and devotion to a spouse under all conditions, along with their emotional intimacy with children that allows for easy relation to them, means water signs are often referred to as fruitful signs or fertile signs. 

 

Water signs are believed by astrological theory to often possess a much more penetrating insight into the true nature of other people than other zodiac signs: they are supposed to be remarkable in their ability to judge people.

Water signs are seen by astrological theory as sensitive (often hypersensitive) people, and to possess a great desire to help others. Although they are not seen as intellectually weak, water signs are occasionally referred to as mute signs because they supposedly rely so much on nonverbal communication rather than direct discussion.

 

At their worst, water signs are supposed to be withdrawn, secretive, overly vague, possessive, and pessimistic, often withdrawing into their own private world rather than facing difficulties. 

 

They can also be greatly empathic, sensitive to the feelings & needs of others, and masterful healers due to their awareness of energy, feeling & intuitive natures. They are often considered the psychic signs.

 

Relations

With Other Element Signs

 

Water signs are seen as being complementary to the earth signs who provide them with the stability that they need to develop, whilst the water signs allow the earth signs to work more effectively. 

 

Although water signs are often, according to astrological theory, attracted to fire signs because of their ardent, passionate character, in general water signs will eventually find fire signs much too rude or outspoken to be comfortable with them.

 

Water signs are supposed to have strong adversity, even hatred, for air signs, whose personalities they regard as shallow, uncaring, cold, and excessively worldly, and air signs often find water signs as being weak and overly judgemental.

 

 

The Mutable Zodiac Signs

 

In astrology, the mutable signs (also called common signs or bicorporal or double-bodied signs) are a subgroup of the zodiac.

 

They are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. The mutable signs straddle two temperate zone seasons, encompassing an inherent duality in its symbolism.

 

Gemini : - between the spring and summer seasons. As an air sign of the mutable quality, Gemini individuals are said to have the best communication skills of all the signs of the Zodiac. Many astrologers also believe Gemini to be the sign in which the duality associated with the mutable quality is most clearly defined. Gemini, because its symbol is that of the twins, indicates an individual who quite often has a duality of purpose, feeling that he or she has two separate destinies that must be pursued before feeling fulfilled as a human being.

 

Virgo: - between the summer and autumn seasons. A mutable sign of the element of Earth, Virgo is strongly associated with precision, detail, research and the preservation of health. The mutable metaphor may seem to fall short when applied to Virgo, which does not appear to be a sign with much duality at all. This may be because it is viewed from a literal sense as "The Virgin" in the sense of having not actually had sexual intercourse, rather than in the sense of a Maiden; some one who is ready for sexual intercourse, adult romantic relationships, marriage etc. (relationships beyond the self being a core concern of the following sign Libra.  

 

Virgo is considered mutable because of their flexibility in filling for other people, their reliability, and ability to work and think in the spur of moment. Also, there is a distinct lack of stubbornness in Virgo in comparison to the other earth signs. They are happy and can adapt well into most positions, without necessarily wanting leadership. As such Virgo represents an archetype of transition, and its bicorporal forms are based more on age/initiation rather than across species as per Sagittarius, or in two bodies or paths as with Pisces and Gemini; The Child/Adult; Innocence/Experience etc. Virgos are said to rule the earth best, with the most grace, as compared with the other mutable signs

 

Sagittarius: - between the autumn and winter seasons. A fiery mutable quality sign, Sagittarius is associated with travel and learning. Sagittarius is half-man, half-animal, although this definition tended to overlap into the areas of human signs vs. bestial signs. Nevertheless, Sagittarius' lofty and intellectual nature, deriving from its ruler, Jupiter, does co-exist with a Zeus-like moral short-sightedness when it comes to fidelity in relationships.

 

Pisces: - between the winter and spring seasons. Pisces individuals are said to express their mutable duality in an emotional manner characteristic of water signs, fluctuating from one emotional extreme to the other. The symbol of Pisces is that of two fish swimming in opposite currents to one another. Quite often individuals who are strongly influenced by Pisces feel a deep frustration in their lives because they are being pulled in two opposing directions at the same time. Some individuals will try to stick with one path and others will try to maintain both paths, which is often unrealistic. Others try to maintain one path, but periodically veer onto the other path.

Pisces is the twelfth astrological sign in the Zodiac and originates from the constellation of Pisces.  It is represented by a pair of fish that are swimming in opposite directions, but remain held together by a cord. In astrology, Pisces is considered a feminine (negative) sign. It is also a water sign, and is one of four mutable signs.

Pisces by Johfra Bosschart

 

Traditionally ruled by the planet Jupiter, Neptune is now considered by many astrologers the modern ruler of Pisces since it's discovery in 1846.   Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun is in Pisces roughly from February 19 to March 20, and under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from March 15 to April 13.

 

 

The influence of this sign endows individuals with immense sympathy, impressionability and responsiveness. They are gentle, dreamy people who often prefer to avoid the realities of everyday life. It is sometimes not easy for a Piscean to be their own person. They are so sensitive to the moods and needs of other people that they will automatically adapt to fulfil those. They have limitless sympathy for the human condition.

 

Pisceans are so changeable that they cannot always be relied on. They can be quite economical with the truth at times. These individuals are not robust and have little resistance to illness. They can quite often fall victim to addiction in an attempt to escape from reality.

 

Love and marriage is often the most important thing to the Piscean. They enjoy all aspects of domestic life and display their affections easily. Pisceans can succeed in the arts, in music or in the healing professions. They can also become very talented actors because of their ability to take on another identity. They need to be of service to others.

 

Pisceans must avoid dishonesty and their tendency to become caught up in worry, even paranoia. Their almost ever present feeling of discontent can drain their energy and encourage them to dream away the time and miss valuable opportunities. Pisceans would benefit from adopting the discrimination and practicality of the opposite sign of Virgo.

Mythology

One of the most popular stories regarding the mythological origin of Pisces is the story of Aphrodite and Eros. The story involves Aphrodite and her son Eros escaping from the terrible monster Typhon by turning themselves into fish and hiding underwater until it was safe to come back to the surface. As fish, they tied their tails together with a cord so that they wouldn't lose one another while swimming in the darkness of the deep water. Upon hearing their tale, Zeus rewarded the pair by placing them among the stars as the constellation of Pisces.  As a constellation, Pisces has been almost universally associated with female deities.
