Essences that resonate with Water Signs
The qualities of water are fluidity, nurturing responsiveness, connectivity, intuition, and emotional openness. Simply put, water issues are actually love issues. The water essences are especially helpful for addressing patterns of loss and control, offering you the subtle support you need to help find your way back to inner harmony. I call these essences “the comforters."
Also, water needs a container to maintain its shape, whether it is a drinking glass, a bathtub or a river bed. Yet, when we watch water we see that it is always pressing deeper, pressing down and in, trying to escape its’ container and slip back into the surrounding environment… where it is lost. From this we can see why boundaries are such an important learning edge for water.
CANCER
Cancer is the cardinal water sign. Its’ nature is to mother. It loves to create and maintain a nest, to be warm and cozy and full, and to help everyone it loves to feel the same way. Cancer needs and provides consistent connection and safety and automatically responds to the needs of others.
