Are all my friends are mermaids and mermen

Studying astro charts of nearest and dearest and realised that so many of my dear friends, both present and departed are water signs. As an earth sign, we love the watery types. Water sustains us and nourishes us. It moves obstacles and washed away our toxins. Earth in turn gives Waters sign the stability they crave. Earthy types are the sturdy dam wall to the watery constant flow.

Water types cop it hard in Western society though. Our culture is focussed on academic success, logic, argument and theory. All Air attributes. Never a winner with the Water types.
Watery signs understand feelings. All types of feelings, from the darkest, most murderous thoughts, to sensing joy that they can dissect into a thousand different words.

Water signs often feel isolated though. They are so attuned to to others feelings that their feeling often get washed over. They are not always understood by others and their brilliant gift of sense is not respected anymore. They are witches and soothsayers of the past, where they live. Water is all about the past. They retain memories and are saddled with the burden of lives not lived through their ancestors who visit them often. Trés psychic, BTW.

Waters signs hang on to feelings emotions and often get stuck in the present because of how they feel about the past. If they judge the feeling they are experiencing then they are doomed but if they just experience it, then they will get into the flow once more. They feel so they can understand and share their knowledge and compassion. The most compassionate people I know, are Water signs.

The darkest side though of the water sign is the emotional manipulation , the emotional control. They know what buttons to press because they know how you feel even if you are not fully aware of it yourself. Trés moody and very self destructive with an addiction to the dark side of their own feelings, they self medicate with drugs, alcohol or whatever other addiction is de rigeur. They really rely on these stimulants if their emotional, feeling life is not being fulfilled in anyway.

Cancerians are the babbling brook, the tributary that leads to the river. It is mother and child love. It is caring for the caretaker. It is the water of ancestry.

Scorpios are the still water. The waters of passion, who is seeking its true love. It is the pond that freezes over, dark, powerful and intimate. It is the mystery of water.

Pisceans are the ocean. Tides ebbing and flowing, in and out to indicate that the world is always changing. It is about progress for humanities sake and always about what we leave for our future generations.

Water though is all about endings. Finishing things off. Making sense of the feelings and understanding how and when to let go to move on with your life.

Water signs come and go in my life, some are there for the long haul though. All of them are brilliant and amazing and have Meant more to me than any other signs I know. My greatest lessons have been from Earth. Some of the best conversation have been with Air signs. I haave felt intense passion with Fire signs. But my greatest friendships have been with Water signs.

Both my children are Water signs.

I have my Ascendant and Moon in different water signs.

I understand.

I feel you, mer-peeps.
