Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio & Pisces
Water signs read the room and the undertow. They’re intuitive, creative, memory-rich, and protective. If your chart leans Water, you process life through feelings first—then words. Start with your birth chart to see where Water concentrates.
What “Water Signs” Means
- Core vibe: receptive, empathic, imaginative; attuned to subtext.
- Strengths: bonding, emotional range, healing, devotion, artistry.
- Growth edges: boundaries, clarity in conflict, not taking everything personally.
- House echoes: Water resonates with 4th, 8th, and 12th—home, intimacy, and the inner life.
