What does it mean to be a water sign zodiac? 🌊

Water is the last of the four elements on which western astrology relies to classify the signs according to their psychological profile. It's a feminine element and corresponds to people who are more introverted, dreamy, and imaginative. Natives of this group have a deeper 'inner world' and a more cerebral nature. They are charitable beings, capable of great empathy and deep kindness. Although, be careful not to hurt them because they can become unpredictable. Like its element, natives of this group react according to the environment that stimulates them.

How are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces' personalities influenced by water?

The rhythm of water can be calm or on the contrary agitated, just like the water signs according to the emotions that govern them. Indeed, the hypersensitivity that water signs show is such that they have difficulty managing their emotions. Often, they let themselves be submerged by these emotions like a flood coming straight at them and against which they are powerless. Plus, it is the element of feeling and sharpens your instinct.

What personality is a water sign? - 2 Important characteristics 👩

1) These natives are emotional

The water element represents life, purity, and renewal. These signs personify sensitivity and do let their emotions rule the decision-making process. Staying in control of their emotions isn’t always an easy feat for the zodiac signs ruled by this group, because being expressive comes naturally to them.

2) Their creativity is always bold

The truth is, natives of this element love thinking outside the box and really do have unique visions. They frequently choose to express themselves through the means of art, designing, and drawing, for example. Being around them will inspire you and get your creative juices flowing.

Which Water sign is more sensitive?

⚠️ Pisces people are very empathetic, and they put themselves in people's shoes and can feel their emotions. If someone is happy, Pisces will feel that emotion. And if someone around them is sad, this sign will feel it and be very moved. They are also sensitive to all forms of art and nature. They are able to take time to contemplate their surroundings. The Water element is deep and emotive, just like a river. These signs are very tuned in to other people’s feelings, however, they can be moody and controlling.

Do Water signs fall in love easily?: Yes, and they make for attentive lovers 🥰

Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are very romantic zodiac signs and love showering their partners with love and affection. They are each very comfortable with their sexuality and aren’t afraid to express how they feel. Their intuition and great sensitivity make them sensual people who are often very comfortable in the bedroom. As for love relationships, the natives of this group can sometimes lack self-confidence, yet when they are in a stable relationship, they are then able to give the best of themselves.

A lack of confidence, unfortunately, characterizes these three signs, and low self-esteem can prevent them from finding love and relationship satisfaction.

In this case; Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn will respect and love them just as they are. These folks need magic and dreams in their love affairs. They are capable of love without limits, and they sometimes risk losing themselves if people take advantage of their kindness.

What are Water signs attracted to?

Water signs, which include Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, are generally attracted to emotional depth, sensitivity, and a strong intuition. They are drawn to people and things that are imaginative, empathetic, and have a deep connection with their emotions. Here are a few things that water signs may be particularly attracted to:

  • Emotional depth and intensity: Water signs value emotional depth and intensity, so they may be attracted to people who are in touch with their feelings and are willing to share them openly.
  • Sensitivity and empathy: Water signs tend to be very sensitive and empathetic themselves, so they may be drawn to people who share these qualities.
  • Creativity and imagination: Water signs are often very creative and imaginative, so they may be attracted to people who share their passion for art, music, or other forms of creative expression.

Who are the best love matches for water?

Who has what it takes to steal their heart?

Chemistry between Water and Fire: It's average!

The water sign can be completely devoured by a more dominant fire sign.

Compatibility of Water and Air: Starts well, but…

They get along at the beginning, however, the more sociable Air sign knows how to put the Water sign at ease, but doesn't have enough tact to deal with their sensitivity.

Do Water signs match with Earth signs? - Yes!

They are complementary because Earth brings the pragmatic side that the Water sign lacks. Thus, the Earth sign can help the Water sign to realize their dreams.

Will two Water signs get along? - They eventually fuse into one person

They quickly live an intense, deep, sincere relationship but are too dependent on each other, which means their passion quickly evaporates.

What signs don’t get along with Water signs?

Water signs are deeply sensitive and intuitive, which can sometimes make them less at ease with astrological signs that are more focused on logic and independence. Thus, they may feel a certain reserve towards air signs. These air signs tend to favor intellectual reflection and social interaction, which can sometimes seem superficial or detached from water signs. Water signs seek deep emotional connections and intuitive understanding, while air signs may seem less inclined to express their emotions directly. However, it's important to note that astrological affinities vary considerably according to individuals and their birth charts, and beautiful relationships can still form between water and air signs if the differences are mutually understood and respected.

Which planets rule over these signs?

Astrological signs are influenced by their ruling planets. Discover the influence on their personalities here:

Cancer is ruled by the Moon

Along with the Sun, the Moon is considered the most important star. The rich emotional universe of Cancer makes it a fragile and touchy sign. Their imagination knows no bounds!

Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto

Although darkness is part of Scorpio's personality, they are also passionate and live life with great intensity. Although, be careful not to annoy this sign too much…

Pisces is ruled by Neptune

Neptune rules the mind and intuition. It therefore gives Pisces its overflowing creativity and gift for music.

Susan Taylor’s insights: Bright futures

Water signs are deeply emotional and intuitive people. Their vulnerability and acute sensitivity lead them to connect quite easily with those around them. However, by being overly compassionate, they can be accused of lacking logic in their decisions and actions. They can also sometimes become prickly if they don't like something. Water signs are very good speakers, doctors, psychologists, and spiritual guides.
