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At their worst, water signs are supposed to be withdrawn, secretive, overly vague, possessive, and pessimistic, often withdrawing into their own private world rather than facing difficulties.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

 

In astrology, there are four fixed signs.

 

Fixed Signs are at the height of the four seasons and are associated with stamina, perseverance and strength and said to be, by nature, inert. However, they are also associated with inflexibility.

 

Individuals born under the four Fixed Signs of the Zodiac are thought to be determined, powerful, natural leaders, purposeful, reliable, loyal and self-confident but also occasionally stubborn and immovable, with a tendency to get stuck in ruts. They supposedly pursue their goals with dogged persistence and have a great power of concentration.

 

According to astrologers, Fixed Signs tend to direct their energies inward rather than outward.

 

The four Fixed Signs of the Zodiac are:

 

Taurus: Being an Earth sign it  is said to be the most stable, patient and determined of all the Fixed Quality Signs.

 

Leo: As a Fixed Fire sign Leo individuals are said to burn with a greater intensity than the other two Fire Signs. They are supposedly much less impulsive than Aries natives and not as prone to "wanderlust" as Sagittarius subjects.

 

Scorpio: A Water sign, of the Fixed Quality, Scorpio is thought to deeply internalize emotions and pursue goals with keen insights, perception and much willpower.

 

Aquarius: An Air sign, while generally considered to be a spontaneous and erratic Sign, many astrologers also agree there is also a distinct lack of flexibility in Aquarius character due to their Fixed Quality.

Scorpio is the eighth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Scorpius.  In Astrology, Scorpio is considered an introvert, "feminine" negative sign. It is also considered a water sign, and is one of four fixed signs.  Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun enters Scorpio around October 23 and exits around November 22.   Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from November 16 through December 15.

Scorpio

by JOHFRA Bosschart

 

A Scorpio will always endeavour to be master of his or her own fate. This is a very powerful sign which has a great ability to follow through on plans in a determined way. The intense passion and energy of these individuals makes it imperative that they act from the highest and purest motives as once set on a course, they will almost always succeed. But they will also be capable of influencing others enormously as their charisma and sense of commitment is overwhelming.


Scorpions are more vulnerable than they immediately appear. They are extremely sensitive and quite easily hurt. And their hurts are remembered for a long time. This explains the Scorpio need for control over every area of their lives. They will go to great lengths to protect and defend themselves and their territory. Scorpions know how important it is to keep their powerful emotions hidden from others. Nevertheless, they do thrive on a certain amount of crisis and trauma as this provokes them to let go of old hurts and frustrations.

 

Scorpio Illumination c.1475, Italian, Book of Hours in the Pierpont Morgan Library, NYCScorpions tend to experience many deaths and rebirths in their life and understand the importance of transformation.  The willpower and uncompromising nature of Scorpions can bring them great success in their chosen area. They are very good at behind the scenes work and in research. Some are attracted to detective work and healing professions and some to work in which they deal with financial resources.

 

Scorpions are often concerned at some point in their lives in what is hidden - hence their association with sexuality, money, death and the occult. Scorpions are never content with the surface of life, they wish to be involved with the more profound aspects of existence. They will often seek to learn more about the meaning of life and how the universe works. They have an instinctive understanding of energy fields and may try to manipulate these directly using magic or the power of thought. 

 

The intensity of feeling of the typical Scorpio can lead to their more obvious faults. They are the most resentful sign of the zodiac and very easily jealous. They are capable of holding on to hurts for years and then wreaking their revenge in the most shocking way. They are always looking for hidden motivations behind the actions of other people and find it very difficult to trust others. They can be tyrannical and overly possessive with their families.  Scorpions would do well to work on developing some of the qualities of the opposite sign Taurus - they need to learn to trust in life, to find the simplest solution to their problems and to value themselves more.
