I'm always jealous of people with very little water in their chart.

Because even as a Libra, my chart is overflowing with water:

Venus in Scorpio
Pluto in Scorpio
Jupiter in Cancer

Are *you* a waterbaby, too? How do you stamp out the oversensitivity and laziness that comes with being water dominant?

I think it's the hardest element to be, because you feel everything. Whereas those fire/earth/air types don't feel as strongly.

For you air, earth or fire types...compare going through life normally...versus going through life with a nasty sunburn all over your body - raw and exposed. It's not fun to be Water.

You guys don't know a thing about a watery chart. My chart is something like 75% water (more than the Dalai Lama).

ASC Cancer
Moon Cancer
Sun Cancer
Mercury Cancer
Mars Pisces
MC Pisces
(And Pluto Scorpio)

My life sucks. Water is the worst element; especially for a guy.




You're very lucky to have dominant water in your chart. It usually means you LOVE DEEP. You will never abandon your family and your closest friends. You will ride hell and high water through it all. Of course with any dominant element, there are dangers, so always protect yourself. Use grounding gems to help keep your stability.

Pisces Sun
Pisces Moon
Pisces Merc
Cancer Mars
Scorpio Pluto

If we're looking at houses, too, then....I think my sun is in the 11th, moon and merc in 12th, and mars in 3rd.

I get butthurt easily and tear up while watching movies and being criticized. Overall, though, I don't think I feel as much as my chart says I should. I'm definitely lazy and sometimes very passive or quiet. But, I don't jump to act on emotions, unless it's anger, which I can't control as well. There's good to this, too. I also am observant, and when with a group of people, I can tell who is not feeling up to par and talk to them while everyone is too busy with themselves. I like listening to people. I also have good emotional/behavioral intelligence, which I feel helps me understand things, like psychology, fairly well, or helps me to determine why people are doing what they're doing. Sometimes I feel pretty out there and lack common sense, which I would say correlates with my pisces placements.
But, overall, I don't think water placements are that bad. Though my chart is mainly water, I feel well-rounded, because in the end, your chart doesn't dictate you. Everyone can learn to adapt, expand, and grow.

Yea sun, mercury and mar in cancer. I feel the waves. Sometimes the emotion piss me off .because I feel like im just in another dam planet then everyboby else. But imagine that u had a lack of emotion and u couldnt feel. Imagin people who have all this fire and no water. I love being passionate and deep.I love being intuitive and having great instincts.I love to beable to speak on many levels because I can intuitively feel what others feel. There are useful part of having water placements. I do get frustrated because the baggage that come with it but I get by

Pisces Sun
Cancer Moon and Mars
Cancer /Moon are dominant in my chart.

I am emotional and sensitive. Not lazy. I have too much Aries in my chart.

I think it is a good thing feel everything. Robotic doesn't sound appealing at all.

Being emotional allows to you to better understand and identify emotions, imo. Emotions are what makes things happen. Or at least with me.

They give me motivation to create, live, help ...etc.

I love my water placements. 🙂





I definitely have the "lazy" streak too, and I'm super SLOW. i hate to be pushed. It's the strong Taurus in me, and earth placements thus the slow. Venus makes me super lazy, like lounging around happily. Astrologers weren't kidding about Venusians (when they said Venusian Libras are lazy and Venusian Taurus are lazy but they go about it differently) When they work, they work HARD, then REST hard, and those with dominant SUN too, lazy like the sun sitting around happily.

You need someone like me? Haha.
We'd probably get along. I saw all of the fire in your chart.
Even though I'm mostly water, sun and moon are conjunct ascendant in House I and Mars is in House 10, so I am very aries-like. I think of myself as an Aries-Crab... (sounds insane, I know).
Also, my Mars is at 29.4 degrees Pisces, so I sometimes feel that Aries energy, too.
But I mostly go with the flow.

Also, your Cancer planets are smack in your first house.. so an Aries Crab fits 🙂. Now we know it's not in the 12th!

Air might be more sensitive than water. You need to throw a rock to let out a ripple, but air is constantly moving.

By the way, I have very little water. Be jells 😉



That makes sense and I like your analogy. I have pondered the sensitivity of air myself on quite a few occasions, particularly that of libra.

I have also thought for a good while that much of my own sensitivity is due to the air in my chart and that air type sensitivity may be different in many ways from water type sensitivity.

How would you differentiate air sensitivity from the water kind?

I have the following Air placements:

Libra Sun
Libra Mercury
Libra Mars
Libra Lilith
Libra Chiron
Libra Juno
Aquarius Rising
Aquarius Psyche
Aquarius North Node

I have almost no fire...just my moon. 😢

You have always come across Libra to me. Actually I believe your ideals/sense of fairness are above many resident Libras' and also, you have a cooler head than most of them.

Yes I think it's different.. water picks up more pervasive emotions that just keep running. Air can start and stop at will.

Yes, I also think we would get along.
It may feel like a good balance of energies, one giving what the other lacks.
I need someone who will bring me down to earth.
We can go swimming and I will take you flying. 😉

An Aries Crab sounds interesting. Are you impatient like the ram?
