Water is the fluidity. Water is the emotions. Water is what changes, and what runs. So, wherever you have water in your chart, you find a very emotional-type thing. The first of the water signs is Cancer. Cancer is all about the emotions. Cancer is all about "How do you feel?" Whenever you talk to a Cancer, they're not interested in what you've got. They don't want to talk to you about what you think. They don't want to talk to you about how well you're doing in life. They're always asking you, "How do you feel?" What is the emotion? What is the thing that's moving all the time, where is the fluidity? And that's what a water sign does. It looks at what's moving, what's in transit, what can't be defined. Water rules the emotions of life. The second of the water signs is Scorpio. Scorpio is all about emotions. As you see, if you've clicked the "Fixed" button, Scorpio is a fixed sign. Fixed water is ice. People often describe Scorpio as being as cold as ice. Because what Scorpio wants to do, it wants to get into your deepest feelings, it wants to know what you really, really feel, deep down inside. It's emotionally based. Scorpio is not after the power that money gives you. It's not after the power that intellect gives you. It's after the power that you get if you can understand someone, if you can click into that emotion. That's why Scorpio is a water sign. The last of the water signs is Pisces. Because at the end of the day, when you've looked at everything, when you've worked out all the other signs of the Zodiac, and how they all fit together, you end up confused and feeling that you don't know how you feel. And that's why you arrive at Pisces. It could be this, it could be that, it could be going this way, it could be going that way. Pisces is about the jumbled-up-ness of life, before you start back again at Aries, thinking, let's do this. So wherever you see Pisces in your chart, you do see the mysteries of the sea. It's never in the same place twice. It will move. Pisces is a water sign because it realizes that nothing is fixed, that nothing is stable, and nothing really matters, because it's all about how you feel. It's all about, what is the impression of life?
