Water is a heavy, passive element and is
contrary to Fire. It is associated with the qualities of darkness, thickness
and motion. Water affects the subconscious, emotions and dreams, it is the
element of love and emotions. Constantly active beneath the surface,
influencing our moods and emotional responses. It purifies, heals, offers
emotional release, and removes all that is stagnant. Within the home the
bathroom and kitchen sink are ruled by Water, it also governs the living room,
the area of social activity. Water is the element of medical environments, and
the healing and caring professions.
Water
personalities are spiritual, emotional, sensitive and very intuitive, often
becoming involved in psychic work or mediumship. They approach life from a feeling
perspective, rather than a thinking one, and can be quite spontaneous. In
relationships they are empathetic and nurturing, but can be touchy. Too little
Water makes them emotionally distant, with an inability to express themselves,
causing them to keep people at arm’s length. In this instance they would be
less empathetic, intuitive and psychic. Too much Water, takes all emotions to
the extreme, making day to day functioning in the world difficult and possibly
causing psychic overload.
