Water signs, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces are very aware of feelings and emotions, and often seem to have a natural perception for reading people´s moods. This gives them a special sensitivity in relationships, making out when to come close and when to hold back. They are well capable of supporting and containing people, and also need to feel supported by their relations and environment.

People with a predominance of planets in water signs have to be careful to absorb “vibes” from others. Being specially supportive and sympathetic, they must work harder than other elements to maintain their personal boundaries. However, they could also abuse their perceptive talents to manipulate and drain the energy of those around them.

Qualities such as devotion, dedication, sacrifice identify people who hold plenty of planets in water signs in their natal charts. But mind you, their innate sensitivity should not be interpreted as a weakness since water can have great strength, the strength of a tsunami.

Those with planets in water signs can be imaginative, spiritual, and usually show an interest in the occult as well as master the unconscious mind and develop psychic abilities.

Lack of water in the birth chart may manifest as a difficulty in getting in touch with one´s or other people´s feelings, which does not meaning that people who have few planets in water signs lack sensitivity, but that the world of feelings is not easily comprehensible to them.

It is recommendable that people who lack the water element should let feelings come to the surface. They are also advised to be in direct contact with the water by getting into the sea or contemplating water (ie. a lake, a waterfall) for long periods of time.
