Water signs channel emotions with a natural grace that can be captivating and complex.
Like the element of water, they tend to absorb the energy of the environment around them.
They require clarity in their mind, body, and spirit to keep swimming with the stream of life.
Channing Smith
Thats what its like for water signs when theyre not keeping proper habits or company.
Also like water, these signs have a habit of seeping into the people they are closest with.
They enjoy cuddles, handwritten letters, home-cooked meals, and asking deep questions.
Although other signs of the zodiac may not consider them rational, water signs are cautious and seek comfort.
They arent going to throw all caution to the wind as they move through life.
These folks forge ahead with something that cant be taught in a textbook.
What are the zodiac sign elements?
Before we learn more about water signs, we first have to understand the zodiac chart as a whole.
Their connections to others, their environment, and their own inner worlds runs far below the surface.
But, like water itself, they can be tricky to navigate.
Theyre a little bit, well, fiery.

What are the water signs, and whats the difference between them?
Cancer
Cancer is the quintessential water signdeep, feeling, and fiercely protective.
Cardinal water energy makes these folks the leaders of the emotional realm.
Theyre the first to admit when theyre overwhelmed, overjoyed, or overstimulated.
Governed by the moonour guidepost of emotion, cycles, and the subconscioustheyre ruled by their feelings.
However, Cancers are also guarded and only allow in those who prove theyre trustworthy.
Represented by the crab, their outer shell is in complete opposition to their soft and gooey inner self.
Theyre devoted to healing and helping those around them but do best when they prioritize self-care as a nonnegotiable.
Their emotional depth can also lead to vulnerability.
Cancer needs to find a balance between protecting others and taking care of their own emotional needs.
They may also struggle with letting go of past hurts and trusting others.
Scorpio
Being a fixed water sign makes these folks stubborn in their feelings and emotions.
They are, however, devoted to the people they care about.
While theyre often seen as secretive, thats more about protection than mistrust.
Scorpios guard their deepest emotions carefully, only revealing their true selves to those they trust.
Some may even do best mixing love and work with their chosen partner(s).
Scorpios greatest challenge lies in trusting others.
Their intense emotional nature means they can hold grudges and struggle with forgiveness.
While their emotional depth is a strength, it can also lead to confusion.
Theyre the ultimate romantics and believe in the power of love and dreams to heal and transform.
This astrological sign can have a hard time with boundaries and may find themselves sacrificing too much for others.
