Water Signs: what they are and their characteristics! – Map of My Heaven

The Water signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, the most emotional and sensitive of the entire Zodiac. As the element suggests, they are fluid and adaptable, but at the same time they can be deep and mysterious.

Firstly, it is worth saying that the astrological concept is based on the four basic elements, responsible for maintaining our planet. That is: Fire, Earth, Air and Water.

According to scholars, the characteristics of substances are mirrored in a group of individuals – in this case, a triad of signs.

In this way, Water would be the representation of flexibility and our feelings.

Characteristics of Water signs

The same water that irrigates the soil and brings nutrients can also be the water that overflows and causes damage. Therefore, understanding how this force can be beneficial or harmful is the key to understanding Cancerians, Scorpions and Pisces.

Positive aspects of Water signs

Empathy is one of the main characteristics that the substance brings: it puts itself in place, welcomes and involves.

Those who belong to the Water sign tend to have very present creativity and intuition, being inclined towards mystical subjects and artistic works.

They are individuals who love giving of themselves and being part of something, being wonderful advisors and listeners.

They put their soul into everything they do and expect recognition for their dedication and actions.

Negative aspects of Water signs

At times, natives swim on the surface of their feelings, acting with passion and impulsiveness. In others, they dive into murky waters and get lost, resorting to introspection.

The truth is that inconstancy and intensity are part of the lives of people born under this influence, and it is common for them to get lost in their feelings and daydreams. They are also quite dreamy and idealizers.

Due to these factors, they can become impractical, escapist or overly sensitive.

Excess or lack of the Water element in the astral chart

The elements influence the triad, which is based on the force that connects them. However, there are several other factors that influence the construction of the personality of the signs, such as the position of the planets or other signs in the astrological houses.

In this way, the elements are distributed differently in each person’s birth chart, and there may be a predominance or discrepancy of a specific one.

In this case, the individual may be harmed and we will explain why!

Excess Water in the astral chart

When there is an imbalance and someone has a lot of water in their chart, it means that their imagination travels beyond what is advisable, getting lost in abstractions or creating situations in their head that, in fact, do not exist.

They also absorb too much energy from others, becoming very worried and with the potential for emotional loss due to excessive sensitivity.

They often forget the rational and analytical side and only give space to the heart or emotion. Still, they can be procrastinators and too lazy.

The ideal way to make the counterpoint is to resort to relaxation and self-knowledge exercises and also when interacting with people with Earth signs, for example, who tend to be more logical.

Lack of Water in the astrological chart

On the other hand, those who lack Water in their birth chart may have great difficulty dealing with the emotional side and putting themselves in the other person’s shoes.

They are overly rational people, who cannot express themselves easily and for this reason, they can be more closed or even labeled as insensitive.

The difficulty of being flexible and dealing with pressure are signs that can be highlighted and that need to be addressed.

Therefore, it is necessary to have more frequent contact with intuition, seek therapies and surround oneself with the substance itself, in water activities and contact with nature.

What are the Water signs?

As we mentioned, the Water signs are Cancerians, Scorpions and Pisces. However, each of them highlights the element in its own way, creating specificities.
