Element of Water

Water

     The Element of Water is associated with the Signs Cancer, Scorpio
and Pisces, and it also rules the Fourth, Eighth and Twelfth Houses. The
watery
words flow with this Element: fluid, flowing, wavering.  These terms
can  easily apply to an individual's emotions, which are exactly the
realm in which Water exerts its influence.  Water Signs are intuitive,
sensitive and feel more intensely than the rest. They are emotional and
nurturing and, like a
 river, run deep. How things feel is what matters to these folks, and
they base their actions on sense, rather than on  logic or intellect.
Water is also about compassion and understanding, since the receptive
talents of these
individuals are remarkably high. Water Sign people can take in the
feelings of others, process them, and put forth a plan or solution that
will be conscientious to all.
     Those graced by Water love to take their sense of the world and
translate it into the artistic.  They desire aesthetic beauty -- and for
everyone to
be happy as a result of that beauty. Much like still water can become
stagnant, however, an inactive Water Sign person is not a Water Sign
person at their best. Water Signs feel most fulfilled when they are
helping others,
and they do so in an enchanting, considerate and even romantic way.
     The flip side of this dreamy Water world is the tendency of these
individuals to brood. Water Signs are susceptible to mood swings, and,
at their worst, they could become self-indulgent, controlling and
hostage
to a fantasy world. This also more clearly than others. Call it psychic,
if you will.  Water Signs are emotional, empathetic, receptive and feel
things deeply. Alternately calm like the sea or possessing the force of
a torrential rain, the emotions brought forth by this Element are
plentiful, indeed.

Water is the element of love, purifaction, intuition, mysteries of the self,
compassion and family. It is pysichic ability. It is the element of emotions
and subconsoius.
It is essentioal in spells of friendship, marriage, happines, fertility,
fealing, pleasure and pysichic abilities. Water is a negative feminine
elemnet and gowerns spells involving mirrows.

Water
Water is the element of purification, the subconscious mind, love and
the emotions.  Just as water is fluid, constantly changing, flowing,
from one level to another, so too are our emotions in a constant state
of flax.  Water is the element of absorption and germination.  The
subsconscious symbolized by this element because it is rolling, always
moving, like the sea which rests neither night or day.

Direction - the place of the setting sun.
