Water

Bathing in the white springs of Glastonbury

Being a Scorpio, my element is WATER. But long before I investigated my star sign, I was drawn to all things water; the open ocean, lakes, rivers, swimming pools, baths, boats. Any excuse off come the clothes in the water I'd go.
Without water nothing can live.
Our bodies are 50 - 60 % water, we simply would not exist without it.
It holds power over both conception and death.

Water is a cleansing element, and linked to psychic intuition, the subconcious and the emotional. For this reason it is considered a feminine element. Water gives life, as does the woman.
Water also holds sway over our creative personality, because it is so intrinsically linked to our emotions. The birth of an idea.
Water evokes clarity, purity, and calmness.
It's natures way of allowing us to clean our mind, body and soul.
So, when you can't shake the icky sense of someones bad energy from your skin, go bathe in natural water.
When your crystal has been used for some intense magic, hold it in a river.
When your mind is full of toxic thoughts, have a relaxing bath, let the water drain away around you and take those thoughts with it.
That second hand athame that you need for magical working...you guessed it water!

It is the element of constant movement, but not rapid and destructive movement; slow and steady.
This movement is powered by the moon as we all know, so those with a star sign linked to Water, may have an affinity with moon magic.

An easy way to show Water  on your altar is with either a small vial of water, or the presence of Shells, as the elements correspondence is to the West, they should be placed in the West position.
Blue and White are to representative colours of water.
The magical item of water on your altar is the cauldron or cup (Can't hold water without a womb or vessel.)

You can use water in magical working around;

  • Purification
  • Scrying
  • Love
  • Peace
  • Friendship
  • Dreams
  • Psychic Awareness
my secret stream I often escape to

Being a Scorpio with my moon sign in Aries, whose element is FIRE, means I can either balance these out amazingly or not at all. Crazy mood swings anyone?!
I see traits of both signs in me, but unlike some, I am more representative of my Scorpion side. Meaning my love of water makes sense. 

A really lovely thing is that my partner and I are both water signs.
He is a Pisces.
According to all the resources our combination is ultimate compatibility.
Soulmate stuff.
"The destiny of a Pisces is to bring people together, and when this energy meets Scorpio’s intensity and tenacity, there is no stronger bond."
The attraction of Scorpio to Pisces, becomes an addiction QUICKLY.
Being water signs, they are both highly sensitive and perceptive.


I never put a lot of energy into star signs until recently. Being born on the cusp, I spent most of my life believing myself to be a Libra star sign. It was only when I made a recent delve into an astrological book, that I realised how much more my personality fit with a Scorpio...and something that had previously made no sense to me, started to form shape and substance.
Then looking into my relationships with other star signs, seeing what could be predicted, and how accurate friendships and partnerships were portrayed to communicate and interact... well now I'm certainly a lot more believing. 
Even witches can be sceptical! 


Blessed Be!
