What does "water sign" mean in astrology?

In the zodiac, water is the last natural element after fire, earth, and air. Water represents the sphere of emotionality and instinct. In fact, this element remains calm and balanced, but in the blink of an eye, water is flowing, stagnant, dripping, surging in torrential waters. It is a water character and water signs to be able to go from calm states to much more tormented states. This is why these zodiac signs are always found at the mercy of their emotions, sometimes going as far as hypersensitivity.

However, people born under the sign of Cancer or Scorpio or Pisces are not only emotional: they are passionate about love and show themselves capable of loving fully, but at the same time they come across as gentle and thoughtful when it must. These people are characterized by a strong imagination and flawless artistic flair, as well as a visceral maternal sense that is symbolized by water in both psychology and astrology.

However, certain characteristics differentiate them, as the element water varies according to the season and affects the signs of the zodiac differently. That said, the water signs are not totally different from the other elements: with the fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), they share passion and fusional relationships, while the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo) , Capricorn) share an introverted side and helpfulness. Finally, with the air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), they also show this penchant for art.

Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are sensitive signs that can always be counted on. The water element is a changing, moving energy which is linked to emotions and affects. In astrology, water signs are considered to be of "passive" polarity, which corresponds to a more feminine energy associated with Yang, because these signs are identified with qualities and faults that are more prevalent in women than in men.
