Do the water women of the zodiac all seem to have an elusive quality that appears ethereal, fluid and intangible, even when they are on the surface robust and solid? Sometimes it may be a certain look with a nature that is difficult to pinpoint and at other times a delicate touch or a sweet saying that ignites unconscious or forgotten memories.

Water, as an element of the zodiac, is a passive force that is the driving force behind the three signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Whether they are unstoppable waterfalls, silent lakes, boundless seas or country pools after a storm, many first and future impressions are that of a fluent ability to envelope those of us who are open to welcoming and containing emotions.

Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces

Lady Diana, Princess of Wales was a sensitive Cancerian, whom half of the world fell in love with, yet she was overcome with sadness for much of her turbulent life. Grace Patricia Kelly was a Scorpio who was otherwise known as ‘hot ice’ and was Alfred Hitchcock’s muse. She became the princess of Monaco by marrying a prince. Also, Anna Magnani, a Pisces lady who was an amazing actress and was well-known for her explosive acting and earthy, real life portrayals of characters.

These are three ladies each with their Sun in a sign of the water element, yet it is not only women who were born with their Sun in these signs who were nuanced with the water temperament. Sometimes it can be as simple as an Ascendant, Moon, Mars sign or stellium in the outer planets placed in the element of water to give away hints of the emotional depths underneath their skin. Even rocky Capricorns embrace their vulnerability and creativity when born under a Pisces Moon or meticulous Virgos who are usually very much in control are succumbed to an enveloping overwhelm of sentiment when blessed with a Cancer Mars.

Unconscious Realms and the Immortality of the Soul

Although there are many differences between the three water sign women, one thing they all have in common is a desire for forever love and the mysterious unknown while they are naturally in touch with the immortality of the soul, which just like the water element, can seem just out of reach. Scorpio is the more aggressive if the three, with Cancer and Pisces giving way to much more softer temperaments, yet all tend to rely on their extra-sensory intuition on a daily basis, even more-so than they do logic as they know their intuition rarely fails them and is one of the things they can steadfastly rely on in this lifetime.

Water signs, by their very nature, are very in touch with the realms of the feminine, unconscious world. Their psychic gifts tend to bring them in touch with guides who favour an eternal connection to all that is invisible to the naked eye. They are often particularly moved by symbols, references, patterns and things that are linked yet are seemingly world’s apart from a surface perspective.

Empathically Tumultuous

The three zodiac signs that are ruled by the Moon, Pluto and Neptune are extremely empathic, so the emotions they experience can leave a heavy imprint in their minds or hearts for a long time. Water takes on the form of the vessel that contains it; they will suffer and rejoice with others in an authentic way yet this will not always become evident. All of the three signs are vulnerable to the risk of emotional overwhelm so it is helpful for them to keep strong boundaries, one of which is very often a need to remain intensely guarded about their private lives.

Life itself is a passion for the sensitive sisters of the zodiac, because it’s all about the process and authenticity of emotion that is the driving force behind their life’s focus. Without this passion and authenticity, there can be an unwavering sense of loss, creating a space with a constant deep calling to be re-filled. Pisces, Scorpios and Cancerians have a need to carve themselves out a personal space in which they can freely move in creative expression and will keep this space sacred and away from others. In this space they can feel, perceive, investigate and transform with their third eye open to all that is around them, sometimes even amused by creation’s darker depths that are home to the ghosts and monsters of the unconscious mind.
