In short

Water finds its way. It flows, observes and adapts, and stands for depth, intuition and wisdom.

How the Water element can show up in everyday life

Water stands for depth, wisdom, adaptability and winter. People with a lot of Water are often intuitive and thoughtful, and find their way even around obstacles.

In everyday life Water can help you stay calm and understand situations deeply. Out of balance, Water can show up as fear or withdrawal. Rest, sleep and time to sense things often strengthen Water.
