Last updated by Susan Taylor

The Water element encompasses Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces and these signs are known for their sensitivity, intuition, and pure sensuality 🌊.

The Water Signs Of The Zodiac Are Cancer, Scorpio + Pisces

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. Discover your zodiac element here.

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. Here's everything you need to know about this element's characteristics!

Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) traits

Here's what they're like and what they have to offer.

The first Water sign is Cancer

Born between June 21st and July 22nd, Cancer personality is a sign characterized by acute sensitivity and behavior that may seem childish or even immature. As the first Water sign and the first sign of summer, it symbolizes the hidden waters of springs, the point of origin. The Cancer corresponds to the Moon in astrology, which reflects emotions, interiority, memories, and connections with family and roots. These individuals are often perceived as protective, with an innate ability to take care of others, concerned with matters of memory.

Their nurturing maternal water is nourishing. Sociable and empathetic, they particularly value family and friends, relying on them to stay grounded, while also needing periods of solitude to rejuvenate. Cancer can be both a trustworthy and serious person, but also potentially unstable, reflecting the complexity of this Water sign.

The second Water sign is Scorpio

Scorpio personality, the second Water sign, is often associated with turbulence, in contrast to the comfort of Cancer. Born between October 23rd and November 22nd, Scorpio is seen by some astrologers as a cross between the elements of Water and Fire. This stems from its historical link with Mars, once shared with Aries, before the discovery of Pluto. While Aries projects its energy outward, Scorpio transforms and sublimates its raw emotions inwardly. This scorpion water is both violent and fertile, similar to the lava of a volcano.

A Scorpio native is deeply emotional, and when they find a passion, they fully invest in it. Sensual, passionate, and charismatic, they pursue their goals, whether professional or romantic, with unwavering determination. They can be both possessive and jealous, but also extremely loyal and faithful. Influenced by Pluto, Scorpio inherits the symbolism of mystery and the occult. This makes them a complex personality, where emotions, deep thoughts, and feelings may not always coexist harmoniously. This dualistic nature reflects the uniqueness of Scorpio in the zodiac, combining the destructive and regenerative aspects of water and fire.

The third Water sign is Pisces

Born between February 20th and March 20th, Pisces personality not only occupy the final position among the Water signs but also in the entire zodiac. As such, they symbolize synthesis, completion, and universality. Their ruling planet, Neptune, associated with dreams and the unconscious, gives them an affinity with the infinite and limitless. It is a sign that is complex to define and grasp, often described by astrologers as elusive and capable of blending into any situation. The water of Pisces is compared to that of the ocean, where they dissolve to become part of a larger whole, a deep and mystical concept.

The dreamy nature of the Pisces native often allows them to get lost in their thoughts and emotions. As idealists, they are easily swayed by different causes and can quickly change their minds. Having a fluctuating personality, this Water sign fears conflict and struggles to firmly defend their beliefs. However, the abundant creativity of Pisces allows them to shine in the artistic domain, where they can express their unique connection with the deepest and most mysterious aspects of life.

However, this sensitivity can sometimes make them impressionable and moody, shifting moods according to emotional waves. Their natural empathy and philanthropic tendencies drive them to care sincerely about others, often seeking to help and support those in need. Although their changeable nature can sometimes make them elusive, their deep emotional connection with others makes them devoted friends and partners.

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.

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.

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.
