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.
