THE ELEMENT WATER IN ASTROLOGY



On May 3, 2016, we took a look at the element of fire in the natal chart. 

In determining the balance of elements within your natal chart, count your Sun sign and Moon sign as two and the rest of the planets as well as the Ascendant and Midheaven as one.  If you find that you have at least 6 points in any given element, you have an emphasis with that specific element.  If you have a planet at the 29th degree of a sign, you can give it half a point on both elements (this element as well as the element for the sign that is 0 degrees beyond the 29th degree).

Today we are going to take a look at the element of water. 

People with at least 6 points in the element of water are powerfully influenced by their emotions.  They feel everything deeply and may have difficulty separating themselves from the feelings of those around them.  This can make them somewhat susceptible to these subtle vibrations, making them moody for no apparent reason.  Some become so wrapped up in emotions that they try to find solace in places of solitude and prefer to be alone rather than be influenced by the emotions of those around them.  We could call them psychic sponges.  In reality, they could actually be a gentle helping hand to those in need once they learn to separate themselves from other people’s feelings and life experiences. 

Those with Grand Water Trines and their Sun or Moon or a combination of both in water are quite psychic and inclined to feel the energy, rather than utilizing a mental analysis of life’s situations.  Have a look to see if there is a sextile between Neptune and Pluto for further reference to see if this potential holds true for you.  This especially applies if the sextile is within one degree of being direct and also if you have a water sign on the ascendant and many planets in the fourth, eighth, and twelfth houses.

As mentioned, these people are often moody because of their sensitivity and their responsive tendencies to their environment.  It is important for them to have a place of retreat where they can recharge their sensitive batteries and ready themselves for life and its flowing energies.  Many are intuitive and often very passive by nature.  This is largely due to their ability to be very sympathetic to situations and use their nurturing abilities to aid those in stress.

Some are secretive, particularly those with the Sun, Moon or Ascendant in the sign of Scorpio or Cancer, although Cancer is more secretive about their feelings than anything else.  A strong link of planetary energies in the eighth house is also tied to people that are able to dig into the core of the matter and sometimes find significant resolution to problems that plague others.  Those with strong water in their charts are very protective of their family and loved ones and will take care of them as a mother protects her children.

Some can become so sensitive to their environment that they become defenseless or vulnerable to outside influences.  Some have such a challenge with life that they resort to alcohol and drugs, particularly those with strong Pisces or a twelfth house emphasis. 

Those with strong 12th house emphasis often bury away secrets from their past or hide their head in the sand until they begin to accept the fact that a problem cannot be resolved until faced head on and dealt with accordingly.  Often an outer planet will move across these positions through transit and activate this need to bring things to the surface and to deal with the buried issues, particularly the planet Pluto.

We will take a look at a deficiency in water in our next astrology post on May 12, 2016.
