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.)

Ever-Changing and Adaptable
If you’ve seen Nickelodeon’s Avatar: the Last Airbender, you’re already aware of the four elements: water, earth, fire, and air. For millennia, this division of the natural and spiritual worlds into subgroups has been a widespread attitude, with many societies developing their own categories. The Greeks, who also gave us much of the mythology surrounding the zodiacs, are most likely responsible for our present understanding of the four groups. Each of the 12 zodiac signs is dominated by one of these four elemental types, and their personalities reflect that. Earth signs are known for their stability and logic. Fire signs are passionate and expressive by nature. Air signs are likely to be daring and light-hearted. The water signs, which we’ll be focusing on today, are perceptive and sensitive.
Surprisingly, when it comes to the zodiacs, these four components are divided into two categories: negative (yin) elements and positive (yang) elements. Don’t be put off by the name; negative signs are not inferior than positive signs in any way. To be healthy and productive, the two must be in harmony with one another, just like yin and yang. The positive elements, fire and air, direct their energy outward in energetic and dynamic ways; the negative elements, earth and water, focus their energy within and are more prone to be introspective and receptive. Each way of life counteracts the other, resulting in a healthy middle ground.
The zodiacs are divided into categories in other ways as well. Depending on where they appear in their respective seasons, the signs are also classified as cardinal, fixed, or changeable. In simple terms, cardinal signs are forceful initiators at the start of the four seasons; fixed signs, which lie neatly inside their seasons, are willful bedrocks; and changeable signs, which close out their seasons and usher in new ones, are flexible adaptors. With each sign, the way this manifests itself will be different.
Pisces is a water sign that is mutable. Water signs have a natural affinity for emotions and empathy. Pisceans are sympathetic and intuitive, and their emotional sensitivity allows them to have strong gut instincts that are usually worth listening to. Pisces has been known to have such a strong connection with emotions – both their own and those of others – that they empty themselves in order to both help and keep themselves balanced. Pisces has a strong desire to aid those around them; not only does their sensitivity to emotions make them perfect candidates for the position, but they also symbolize the water element’s tendency to hold everything together. Pisces is particularly sensitive to emotional states due to their affinity to water, yet those born under this sign must remember to stay grounded lest they become overwhelmed.
Pisces, as a water sign, is a negative zodiac that directs its energy inward. True, a Pisces is likely to assist and comfort those around them, but their primary concentration is on inner awareness and the inner journey, whether spiritual, emotional, psychological, or otherwise. Pisces are sensitive souls who get along well in small groups, but they often need time alone to re-calibrate their internal and external selves, which can lead to disconnection. Pisces may work well with others, yet they are introverts who want alone time to refuel. They are, after all, in the 12th house, which represents seclusion, restriction, and retreat. A single Pisces isn’t a lonely Pisces.
They are very adaptable to their surroundings due to their changeable nature. Pisceans are born near the conclusion of the winter season, which means they are born into a planet that is just beginning to melt into a cornucopia of new possibilities. This instills in them a sense of regeneration and progress that they will carry with them in some form or another for the rest of their lives.
Is it necessary for Pisces to live near water?
Pisces, according to Ms Fox, desires utopia and seclusion from the rest of the world.
‘Emotional and sensitive Pisces yearns for a destination unlike any other, one steeped in mystery and magic, where they can just disappear into the ebb and flow.’
‘Pisces thrives near huge bodies of water and areas where religious and spiritual traditions are deeply ingrained.’
Pisces is controlled by which God?
Neptune, the God of the Seas in Roman mythology, rules Pisces. Neptune is the god of dreams, imagination, and spirituality.
Is Pisces a water sign or a water spirit?
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.
Who is the water sign’s leader?
The stars appear to have aligned to usher in new beginnings for the next generation of monarchs. We looked at 23 hereditary rulers in this article. Because some monarchies do not follow a hereditary succession system and instead appoint the future King or Queen, we won’t know their star signs until they are announced as successors.
According to the heirs to the thrones of these countries, Scorpio and Cancer are the next zodiac signs to govern the world, with 34 percent of heirs born between October 23 and November 22 and June 21 and July 22 respectively.
Cancers are considered to be empathetic and intuitive, as well as sensitive to their surroundings and fiercely protective of themselveswill monarchies be similarly protective of their people in a maternal sense? Cancerians wear their hearts on their sleeves and are wary of strangers and divulging intimate information. Monarchies are known for keeping their personal lives as private as possible, so we don’t expect much to change in terms of disclosing personal information. Tabloids frequently speculate on what goes on behind closed doors, but will the next generation of royals make it more difficult to obtain this information?
One of the most misunderstood zodiac signs is Scorpio. Because of their intense passion and intensity, they are frequently misunderstood for a fire sign. Scorpio, like Cancer, is a water sign. Water was the most common element in heirs’ zodiac signs. Water energy is bold and appealing, and their aggressive personality makes them natural born leaders. Scorpios are exceptionally sympathetic and devoted when it comes to building trust with others. On a bad day, though, a Scorpio is driven by a constant demand for controlif their egos control them, they risk self-destruction.
Future modality upon the thrones
The Mutable sign, which is flexible, adaptable, and eager for mobility and change, is the most popular Modality among all their zodiac signs. Mutable signs have the ability to perceive life from a variety of perspectives, making them excellent communicators. Will this transition to Mutable signify a moment for even more progressive change and a shift in energy, given that the most prevalent Modality for contemporary rulers is Fixedwho tend to be less flexible and more single-minded?
Scorpio’s Modality sign is Fixed, making it difficult for Scorpio to alter. They may get a reputation for being rigid as a result of this. Cancer’s Modality, on the other hand, is Cardinal, which is one of the oldest in the family and is assertive in their leadership style, similar to Fixed. This is understandable given that heirs are born to rule.
The planets to come
Cancer is ruled by the moon, which is supposed to give those born under this sign a natural desire to nurture, support, and protect othersall qualities that are desirable in leaders. With the shifting times and traditions in the modern world, it’s feasible that we’ll witness more emotion from worldwide monarchs. Scorpio, on the other hand, is ruled by Mars and Pluto, both of whom are connected with transformation.
Will more female monarchs be a goal these progressive characters will strive for in the future, signaling transformation and a step forward for monarchies? The number of kings and queens currently stands at 91 percent men and 9 percent female, which will increase to 17 percent women when heirs come into their thronewill more female monarchs be a goal these progressive characters will strive for in the future, signaling transformation and a step forward for monarchies? Will more countries follow Sweden’s lead, which in 1980 became the first monarchy to reform succession rites to make the monarch’s first-born child, regardless of gender, the heir?
Is Pisces a water-loving sign?
You’ve been given one of Heaven’s most precious little Angels. These are the Cosmos’ Water Babies, emotional, sensitive, and intuitive. These are the Water signs that, like their emblem the Fish, spend their entire lives swimming in water. These are emotional, feeling Angels who are able to sense and experience everything at such a deep level.
They are very sensitive little Angels who are very, very perceptive, almost psychic, because they were born with the gift of Second Sight and a Sixth Sense.
These are the zodiac dreamers, who have bright and deep imaginations. Never try to toughen up or bring this little Water Baby down to earth. These are heaven’s little Angels, sent to fill the world with color and enchantment. They will grow up to be very compassionate people, and whether they use their creativity and imagination in the arts, entertainment, or the fields of caring, helping, or counseling, they will brighten the lives of everyone who comes into contact with them.
You’ll be pulled to this fascinating little Angel because they’re so sweet, soft, cuddly, and affectionate. These lovely spirits appear to be too delicate for this earth at times, as if the ‘dog eat dog’ world is too harsh for these compassionate Angels. But what a gloomy and colorless world we’d have if they didn’t exist.
They’ll have to learn not to take on too many of other people’s worries and obligations, which they’ll gladly accept until the burden becomes too great and they’re overwhelmed. These tiny Angels are drawn to beauty, calm, and the ethereal aspects of existence.
Allow kids to use their imaginations and encourage them to pursue careers in the arts or other creative sectors. Don’t push this little Angel since they’ll think it’s what you want, and People Pleasers aren’t like that. If they believe it will make you happy, they will do things they don’t want to do. It is your responsibility as a parent to allow this precious little Angel to stand on their own two feet and pursue their own ambitions. You won’t have to push this little Angel; only open a road in front of them so they can achieve their full potential.
Because these are sensitive spirits, avoid harsh punishment. To catch the attention of your other Cosmic Angels, you may have to stand on your head and scream, but this little soul will just require the quietest of requests. This is a delicate soul that is easily broken. Your Cosmic Water Baby’s greatest fear is that they will disappoint you at some moment. There will be no punishment you can ever administer that will be more severe than the self-punishment they can inflict on themselves.
They enjoy escaping from reality, thus include a lot of fairy tales, imagination, and make-believe in their play. They’ll want you to tell them stories about make-believe and happily ever afters, not about real life.
Because Piscean energy is incredibly old and ancient, even primordial, they will have a fascination with the past, their own ancestors, and history. They’ll enjoy swimming and water play, and they’ll be happiest when swimming freely, so start teaching your Cosmic Water Baby to swim at a young age.
Raising a Piscean Angel is simple since, at the end of the day, all they want is to be loved, and they are oh-so-easy to love. Expect a lot of’sloppy’ cards, photographs, and messages written particularly for you because they’re heartfelt and romantic. As youngsters pour out their loving feelings, expect to see ‘I love you Mummy’ and ‘I love you Daddy’ on birthday cards.
They’ll have to learn to adapt their typically rosy-eyed view of life to the actual world as they get older, but that won’t be an issue as long as they’re loved and comfortable in themselves. Love them, tell them how precious they are, and help them develop a strong sense of self-worth.
Every day, tell your little Cosmic Water Baby how much you love them with words, embraces, and kisses.
Why are water signs the most beneficial?
Water signs have a creative side to them. They may purposefully seek out (or create!) melancholy music or films, and they are likely to have childhood photos framed in their room. They make decisions with their hearts and guts, as they are emotional and creative. These indicators also crave security at all times, which is understandable given their protective nature toward their loved ones and oneself. They go out of their way to aid those they care about, even if it costs them money. In fact, water signs are among the zodiac’s most devoted.
Water signs, unlike air signs, are more reserved in social situations. When it comes to friendships, they choose quality over number and are more likely to have a small group of close friends rather than a large circle of acquaintances.
Zodiac signs born in the same element are always four signs apart in astrology. This is referred to as a “trine” by astrologers. Cancer is the 4th sign of the zodiac, Scorpio is the 8th, and Pisces is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac for water signs. This suggests that water signs are more likely to get along with other water signs as friends, lovers, family members, or employees. They’re just a match made in heaven, you know?
Each modality has its own water sign, which defines zodiac signs according to whether they fall in the beginning (cardinal signs), middle (fixed signs), or end of the season (fixed signs) (mutable signs). A cardinal sign is Cancer, a fixed sign is Scorpio, and a changeable sign is Pisces.
What is the best place for a Pisces to live?
The sea is the finest place for Pisces to be. This water sign is outgoing and accommodating of others, with a taste for music, movies, and the arts. The state in which persons born under the sign of Pisces reside is California, which is known for promoting diversity and for being the home of all things music and movies.
Why do water signs gravitate toward air?
She argues that water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are traditionally associated with earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) because water nurtures the earth. Because air feeds fire, air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) and fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) go together. “Signs in the same element (earth, water, air, or fire) also make the most harmonic angles to each other, known as ‘trines,’ which are 120 degrees apart,” she continues.
What are the three different types of Pisces?
We’ve listed three of the most prevalent “types” of Pisces that you’ll encounter in your life below.
