General Characteristics of Water Signs

Water signs exhibit external passivity and internal activity. Their pace is slower than Air signs but faster than Earth signs.

Water possesses a rich, flexible, and dynamic inner world, but unlike the Air element, it does not seek external expansion. Water prefers to stay within its well-defined boundaries and is easily influenced from outside, although the effects of this influence are not always visible on the surface.

Water signs have an innate ability to "absorb" external influences, adapting to them. An object entering water's inner space profoundly affects it, but the object itself also undergoes change. The outcomes are unpredictable.

Water keeps its internal processes hidden from the outside world. To understand what happens in these depths, one must enter the water's space. This is risky; water's influence can change the observer.

Strengths of Water Signs

  • Emotional Depth: Water signs have heightened emotional sensitivity, the ability to understand others' feelings, and empathize with people.
  • Intuition: They possess strong intuition and can sense aspects of reality hidden from most.
  • Adaptability: The inner world of Water signs is flexible and fluid, allowing them to easily adapt to changes and external influences.
  • Absorptive Ability: Water can absorb and transform external influences while maintaining internal integrity.

Weaknesses of Water Signs

  • Secrecy and Isolation: Water signs tend to keep to themselves, making interaction with others difficult.
  • Excessive Sensitivity: Their hypersensitivity makes them vulnerable to external influences and emotional upheavals.
  • Difficulty Expressing Emotions: Water signs hold their emotions inside. Without a way to release negativity, they face internal conflicts.
  • Risk of Absorption: Interaction with external elements can lead Water signs to lose their essence or change beyond recognition due to external influences.

Its speed depends on the force pushing it, but it is slower than Fire and Air signs because Water is much heavier.

Cancer reaches its goals through a winding path, skillfully navigating obstacles. At high speed, it can break barriers if it doesn't find a way around them. During moments of rest and preparation, Cancer waits for an external impulse to determine its next move.
