In the zodiac, the water signs are known to demonstrate great sensitivity. They not only empathize with those around them, but they often pick up on situations in which they must take care of themselves so as not to suffer physically or emotionally.

These signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, represented by the crab, the scorpion and the fish. These animals symbolize an ability to face life’s challenges, creating sentimental ties based on respect, loyalty and care.

Cancer is a water sign that is usually quick to detect when a situation is uncomfortable or dangerous. They are almost always people who prize loyalty and expect the same from others. Sometimes their need to learn puts them in uncomfortable situations where they are perceived as nosy or as ‘know it alls’.

On the emotional and spiritual side, Cancers have a greater ability to tune into their psychic side and realize when a person is not being honest with them. For this reason, they tend to be more cautious about trusting others or making decisions that have a strong impact on their lives.

Those born under the sign of Scorpio are guided by a strong determination to go further and further in everything they set out to do. Sometimes this causes them to be somewhat jealous of other people’s achievements, or to develop resentments for not reaching their goals at the same pace as others.

This does not mean that Scorpios are bad people. In fact, Scorpios make most of their decisions based on honesty, loyalty and ambition. Courage as one of their greatest strengths. For this water sign, a bad day is one more reason to look for a better opportunity, and are willing to do anything to get the most out of life.

If there is a romantic water sign, it’s Pisces. Those born between February 19 and March 20 are highly empathetic and romantic, and almost always channel their emotions in an artistic way. That is why they find their vocation in fields such as photography, music, caring for others and everything that has to do with customer service.

Like all water signs, Pisces are not made to maintain a casual romance or focus on tasks that do not bring a fulfillment. For them, company and love must be governed by a strong feeling of loyalty, even when things get complicated.
