Water signs are attuned to waves of emotion, and often seem to have a built-in sonar for reading a mood. Water signs are tuned into the many shades of meaning in relationships, and at times can absorb "vibes" from others.

Those signs have a special sensitivity in relationships, knowing when to show warmth and when to hold back. At their best, they are a healing force that brings people together- at their worst, they are psychic vampires, able to manipulate and drain the life force of those closest to them. They have to work harder than other elements to maintain their personal boundaries.

The nuances of feeling experienced by Water signs can lead them into the arts. As writers, musicians and actors, they help others make sense of the human experience. But this also happens in everyday life, since Water signs soften the edges of the mundane by padding it with emotional meaning. Water is a formless element on its own, and that's why those with this sign are so quickly shaped by their relationships to others. They need time alone to remember where they end and others begin. And to let what's been stirred up by life find its way to a quiet calm again. These are the water signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.
