Consider a fluid: a tear’s slide, a river’s rush, the murmur of the tides, or the seismic shift of tsunami waves. Water is an element brimming with wet emotion and flowing feelings.
Earth, air, fire, and water are the four elements that divide the 12 zodiac signs. Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are water signs that are emotional and insightful. Water is known as wuxing in Chinese culture. It’s the most yin of the five elements, meaning it’s the most feminine, docile, receptive, and concealed. The moon, the bladder, the kidneys, and the color blue are all ruled by Wuxing. Water ruled phlegm and the winter season in ancient Greek hermeticism. The cup represents the element of water in twentieth-century esotericism: a receptacle that may both store viscous passions and runneth over.
The moon and water are intricately related in astrology. Both speak to emotion, intuition, and memory at the most fundamental level, and this link can be found in practically every elemental spiritual system across countries and customs, from medieval “Christian” astrology to the Hindu element apas and moon god, Chandra. Even our tides are affected by the full moon and new moon, reaching their peak when the moon is waxing or waning. The water signs are deep and lunar if the fire signs embody a solar or Martian force, the air signs are amorphous and mercurial, and the earth signs are fertile and Venusian.
Have you seen David Attenborough’s stunning documentary Blue Planet? Maybe you didn’t notice; it’s soothing background music for mild drugs and making out, bathing your skin in flickering 4K azures. It begins on the shore, disappears into the endless dramas of our enormous oceans, and finishes with ancient bones and strange marine monsters buried along the gloomy ocean floor.
Surface-level, superficial water is CANCER. It may not be deep, but it is teeming with life and reaches out to the coast, where so many other living things can be found. I’m picturing dolphin squads breaching the seas, whale wails, penguin marches, and bitter nymphs pulling down unfaithful sailors. Shallow water does not imply a lack of activity – just the contrary. It’s underwater action that we can view without the need for pricey goggles or scuba tanks.

Is Pisces a water sign?
The fish, to be precise. It’s in my blood. Exceptional swimmers. Water is their natural habitat, intuitive and instinctual. Pisces is your go-to sign for help in the water, but they are so eager to help others that they may drown themselves in the process. But, oh well. Other swimmers, beware: pisceans don’t appreciate rejection. You’ve been warned if you don’t let them join the swim team.
I hope you’ve recognized yourself here as a swimmer. There are no rewards for guessing this correspondent’s star sign. (Gemini.)

What does Pisces energy entail?
Pisces is the sign of illusions, darting in and out of the shadows, and is ruled by the charming and elusive Fish. Is it real…or just a trick of the light? Pisces excels in celestial sleight of hand. Pisces energy, like a siren, entices you into its depths, but it may also drown you in the emotional ocean. Pisces is compassionate and sensitive, absorbing and reflecting the feelings of everyone it comes into contact with. This is the zodiac’s “old soul”: Pisces, as the last sign, is supposed to have absorbed the energy of all the other signs before it. Pisces energy is soulfully deep and never just skims the surface. In truth, the subconscious is ruled by this sign, which governs our dreams, fancies, and unhealed scars. Pisces energy is romantic, helpful, knowledgeable, consoling, and artistic in nature. Negative Pisces energy can be naive, self-pitying, delusional, addicted, self-destructive, clinging, and masochistic. We must set boundaries and avoid playing the martyr, codependence, and rescuing damaged folks during a Pisces planetary transit.
Who is the ruler of Pisces?
Neptune, the heavenly body that regulates creativity and dreams, rules Pisces, and these airy fish like letting their imaginations run wild. Neptune, in its most malevolent forms, is also in charge of illusion and escapism. The energy of Neptune is similar to that of the ocean: wonderful, enigmatic, and often frightening. The horizon is obscured and there is no distinction between the sea and the sky when the fog is thick on the ocean.
Is Pisces a feminine sign?
The Moon is ruled by feminine energy. It is “being” energy that assists us in receiving. This receptive energy is guided by intuition and feelings. Rather than trying to control life’s natural cycle, feminine energy assists us in surrendering to it. The effect of female zodiac signs is more subtle and responsive. They have an impact on our inner world, including our emotions and intuition. When a planet is in a feminine sign, it has an inner feel to it. Uranus, for instance, is currently in Taurus, a feminine sign. Uranus is the planet of individuality and change. Uranus in Taurus aligns with our feminine traits of abundance and intuition, assisting us in breaking through outdated norms. Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces are the feminine signs. These indications draw our focus inside and encourage us to become more introverted. They aid in the quieting of the mind, allowing us to be still with the environment around us and listen to our inner direction.
