Elements
& Qualities in Astrology – Water
Fourth
in a Series of Seven
Shared by Duffy McCoy
Two of the many fascinating layers of astrology are
elements & qualities. The elements are Fire (Aries, Leo, &
Sagittarius), Earth Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
& Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn),
Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) & Mutable (Gemini, Virgo, ELEMENTS
& QUALITIES IN ASTROLOGY ~ WATER Sagittarius, Pisces) are the qualities.
Balance is a place we all seek, but what do you do if you have more water signs
than any other element or you have no Earth. This is the third in a series of
seven articles that will assist you in reaching your balance point.
Water
This is
perhaps my favorite element to bring into your life. Or maybe for me it is just
the easiest. I am a Fire sign (with a water moon) and my husband is a water
sign. He used to say he could put my fire out. I would tell him not out, just
to a smolder! I like to spend time at the beach to bring the flames down.
Anyone with heavy water should spend at least 20 minutes a week near live
water. Live water is water you would go into!
You can
wear water colors, blues -azure, baby blue, cobalt, electric, indigo, midnight
sapphire or Tiffany blue. You can also add them as accents in your home. Do you
currently have a fountain in your home or yard? What about an aquarium. I used
to find it very soothing to watch the fish just going with the flow. Perhaps
that is a change in your behavior you could do to add water to your life.
Eating juicy fruits and vegetables (watermelon, cucumber strawberries peaches
are just a few) and don’t forget to drink your water. And then there is the
ever wonderful bath. Adding whatever will make it a calming and relaxing
experience.
But what
if you have too much water? Are you running all over the people in your life?
Pushing until you are contained? Fire can be added but be careful not to add
too much, remember we want balance. Containers can be added as a decorative
accent around your house so that you know when you look at them you are
containing your abundance of water. What about doing Hot Yoga? This is fire
(heat) and water (sweat). Look for earth and air people to hang out with for
compatibility.

sextile Jupiter 5:45 am focus is on mental concentration, preoccupation with
more serious side of life. Brings opportunities for achieving success in
connection with writing, education, transportation, and communications as a
result of prudent forethought and careful attention to detail; increasing
knowledge through deep and prolonged study (meditation can also be a good way
to tune in.)

Libra 17) squares Jupiter (13 Cancer 17) at 5:53 pm further energizing the
T-square now a Grand Cross – including Uranus (12 Aries) and Pluto (9
Capricorn) adding the wisdom of the Divine Feminine in creating the new forms
of family, community and social structures that recognize the importance of
conscious relationship with all life, including the Earth.
The
waning Moon is passing 5.8 degrees S of Pleiades (29 Taurus) at 4:08 pm
illuminating the Pleiadian Stargate or access point to other dimensions, and
where energies from other dimensions can come through and the Moon is a
transmitter transmitting these energies to the Earth. If you are up early you
will see the waning crescent approaching the Pleiades.

chart function?
