Astrology fascinates millions of people all over the world: in the western states the horoscope assigns a symbol of the Zodiac to each month of the year, and divides the twelve signs into four groups: signs of air, water, earth and fire. So let’s go to the discovery of the signs of water between characteristics, strengths and weaknesses.
The stars influence our personality and we are closely linked to our zodiac sign. All human beings born on earth are linked to a sign and it is the position of the sun that determines which of the twelve signs we belong to. Date and time of birth are the only two parameters astrologers use to calculate your sign. The astrologers have divided the zodiac into 12 equal parts, each representing a sign, for a total of 12 zodiac signs. To answer the question, “what is my sign”, one must refer to the position of the Sun at the moment of birth in the zodiac wheel. For example, if you are Aries it means that the Sun was on Aries at the time of your birth.
The water signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and are often referred to as the ‘water trine’. According to astrology, they are three zodiac signs of feminine matrix, which reflect more than all the other qualities and defects characteristic of women. Emotional, passionate, but also reflective, insecure, sweet, warm and deep, the signs of water have in common the inspiration, imagination and a strong maternal sense.

Of all the elements, water is the one that comes closest to our nature and that we feel most familiar. It refers to the most intimate part of our being: the world of feelings and emotions and reminds us of the muffled world of amniotic fluid in which we developed before we were born.
It is believed to be the source of life and we find this concept in the myths that tell of gods or goddesses who emerged from the most diverse waters or who lived in them such as, for example, Neptune (god of the sea), who lives in a building on the seabed or Venus, who at his birth emerged from the waves of the sea. Other important characters, handed down to us, were also rescued through a stream, as the story of Moses tells, who was found by the pharaoh’s daughter in a papyrus basket carried by the waters of the Nile.
The Personality of the Water Signs
People born under the zodiac signs of water they perceive the world mainly through feelings and emotions, which tend to play a predominant role in everyday life. Many of these people are remarkably prone to empathy and to try to better understand the reasons of others. Therefore they feel very hurt when they do not recognize the same will in others. Water signs are very sensitive to criticism and rejection, and as a result they generally perceive someone’s approval and / or disapproval even before they have opened their mouths.
Instinctively, they are also able to identify what others need, and therefore they are also very good at persuading other people and know how to masterfully act on the feelings of others in order to achieve their goals. Because their emotions can go very deep, they are usually serious and intense individuals. Humor, however, is also very important for water signs. Not only because it can lift their spirits, but also because it can help them dissolve the barriers between people. The signs of water as well as those of earth are very sensual, but the sensuality that distinguishes them is more of a spontaneous type and reaches its maximum when it is not too demanding or thinking. Water signs generally feel very involved in romantic relationships, so much so that it is often very difficult for them to be able to detach themselves from a relationship.
