THE WATER ELEMENT
METAL | WATER| WOOD | FIRE | EARTHPersons born in a year dominated by the Water element have a better than average ability to communicate and to advance their ideas by influencing the thoughts of others. Other people's minds are their vessels and help carry their creative ideas into positive action. They are basically ruled by sympathetic vibrations and convey their feelings and emotions to the best degree that their native animal sign will permit.
They have knack for noticing things that will become important and can accurately gauge future potentials. They set things into the orbit they desire by prodding and utilizing the talents and resources of others. However, they know how to be unobtrusive in their persistence and will never make others feel they are being imposed upon. In this manner, like their element, Water, they will be able to wear away the strongest rocks of opposition by their silent but constant efforts.
Because these people would rather infiltrate than dominate, they will know how, when and whom to approach on a give subject. They have the talent for making people desire what they themselves desire, thus achieving their goals in a sure but indirect way. They like to propel instead of compel others into motion.
Because of their basic awareness and flexibility, they are fluid like their element. In their negative states, such people tend to be too conciliatory and will take the easiest route open to them. At their worst, they will be inconstant and passive and lean too much on others for support. Thus, they sabotage their basic abilities for accomplishing goals. To succeed, they must be more assertive and use their immense power of persuasion to turn their plans into reality. Others would be wise to be guided by their intuitions.
