WATER ELEMENT

The Water Signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

The element of Water is associated with emotions, intuition, premonitions, empathy, artistic talents, spirituality and human relations.

The individuals with predominant element of Water in their birth charts are very sensitive and vulnerable introverts. They have a great memory, especially for emotions, so they never forget the hurt they suffered many years ago. Constant reminiscences of old wounds make life difficult for them, however the relationships with others are crucial form them because they can't live alone. Quite often, they talk about old traumas or insults they have suffered many years ago. People with strong element of Water in their natal charts feel comfortable in small groups of close and reliable friends. Before they trust anyone, first they carefully watch that person and only when they recognize that he/she is not threatening their safety, they are able to make a closer acquaintance. The individuals with heavy Water element don't like big parties where there is a lot of people and the topics discussed are very superficial. They only look for deep, sincere and long-lasting friendships. They are very loyal to their friends and are ready to help them anytime, no matter the circumstances. These people are often interested in psychology, spiritual growth and thanks to their great intuition, they can easily read the emotions of other people. They are excellent advisers who are eager to help solve difficult issues, especially the emotional ones. Giving good advice sometimes goes into excessive interference in others' lives. 

Love is very important for them. They want to experience great and unique emotions. Their relationships must be magical in some way, otherwise they don't feel loved. People with strong element of Water will only start relationship with a partner with whom they have a strong spiritual bond, e.g. they feel that they were once lovers in previous incarnations and in this life they meet again to solve unfinished matters from the past lives. Because of their great sensitivity, they prefer to express their deep emotions through art, not verbally, so many of them become recognized artists. They often absorb emotions from the environment, which is not always good for them. They should use different techniques of cleansing from negative energies. The space in which they spend their time, such as an apartment or work place, should be harmonious. They sense the atmosphere and energy of places and feel bad when the elements of the decor don't match. They do well in such professions as psychologist, card reader or psychic.

When the natal chart lacks the element of Water, its owner is not sentimental, doesn't pay much attention to his/her own feelings nor the emotions of their friends or family members. These individuals often hurt their loved ones as they are not always aware that some of their behaviour is unpleasant to others. They only trust their common sense and firmly reject any flash of intuition. People with the deficiency of Water element are not emotionally attached to others, so they don't need to create relationships. They may well be alone and don't feel bad about it. They easily change the circle of friends and find new ones but their friendships are superficial. Love is not important for them, so they start a serious relationship or family quite late, if they decide to take this step at all. Raising children seems very boring for them and they are not patient so often they look for various excuses to avoid spending time with their children. In the young age, they are anxious to become independent. When they grow up, their contacts with parents or siblings are rare. They don't remember the old traumas or failures from the past, so painful events leave no trace in their psyche. Even after experiencing a severe failure, they quickly recover. A good idea of compensating for a shortage of the element of Water is swimming, doing water sports and drinking plenty of water. 

How to calculate the amount of each element in your natal chart?

The amount of modes and elements is determined by the positions of the planets in the signs of the Zodiac but some planets have more influence on the amount of modes and elements than others. It's easy to count how much of each mode or element we have in our chart. The most important components of our chart which give the biggest amount of the certain element or mode are the Sun, the Moon and the Ascendant. You can give 5 points for each of them. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are also important, so you can give 3 points for each of that planet. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are less important, so you give only one point for each of them. Then you count all the points for each mode and element. If your score is from 0 to 5 points, that means that this element or mode is missing in your chart. If your score is from 6 to 10 points then you have a good balance of that particular element or mode. If your score is above 11, you have an excess of some element or mode.
