According to astrological theory, water signs are characteristically intuitive, imaginative and deeply emotional. In human equations, water signs are generally supposed to be reserved and not gregarious, but are exceedingly passionate. This intense passion and devotion to a spouse under all conditions, along with their emotional intimacy with children that allows for easy relation to them, means water signs are often referred to as fruitful signs or fertile signs. They can also be greatly empathic, sensitive to the feelings & needs of others, and masterful healers due to their awareness of energy, feeling & intuitive natures. They are often considered the psychic signs.

Water signs are believed in astrology to often possess a much more penetrating insight into the true nature of other people than other zodiac signs: they are supposed to be remarkable in their ability to judge people. Water signs are seen by astrological theory as sensitive (often hypersensitive) people, and to possess a great desire to help others. Although they are not seen as intellectually weak, water signs are occasionally referred to as mute signs because they supposedly rely so much on nonverbal communication rather than direct discussion. At their worst, water signs are supposed to be withdrawn, secretive, overly vague, possessive, and pessimistic, often withdrawing into their own private world rather than facing difficulties.


Relations With Other Element signs

Water signs are seen as being complementary to the earth signs who provide them with the stability that they need to develop, whilst the water signs allow the earth signs to work more effectively. Although water signs are often, according to astrological theory, attracted to fire signs because of their ardent, passionate character, in general water signs will eventually find fire signs much too rude or outspoken to be comfortable with them. Water signs are supposed to have strong aversity, even hatred, for air signs, whose personalities they regard as shallow, uncaring, cold, and excessively worldly, and air signs often find water signs as being weak and overly judgemental.
