Question: Given that I am a Watery Moon, why am I drawn to Fire Moons?
Water and Fire are polar opposites; in the traditional understanding, Water represents the negative polarity and draws energy inside, while Fire represents the positive polarity and pushes energy outward. While FIRE and WATER make a steamy couple when they click, tensions occur whenever Fire hurts Water’s sensitive nature. When Fire gets a little too fiery, Water can’t help but get a little steamed. Most Water signs are hypersensitive to their environments, and few others can understand their withdrawn, introspective nature or their shifting emotional states. Water signs: because feeling all the feels is just another day in the life of a sensitive introvert. Fire people often lack the finesse to decipher the subtle intricacies of any situation. Fire and Water may have their differences, but sometimes they just can’t resist each other. Water has a tendency to be shy, therefore Water needs a little pep talk from FIRE to boost their self-esteem and courage. Fire needs a little help from Water to learn some empathy, compassion, and sensitivity. Jumping into stormy waters might just be the perfect crash course for our fiery friend. While Fire is out there living it up, Water is deep in thought, pondering the mysteries of the universe. Water’s love for solitude is not a sign of fragility, for beneath the surface, Water is a powerhouse that can make Fire think twice before messing with it.
“I am the fire and you are the rain washing me out, you drown my flame”
FIERY MOONS necessitate zeal, autonomy, and the capacity to put on a show; their egotism may develop when these traits are overplayed. Fiery Moons: because sometimes being a little extra is just the right amount of extra. Due to their tendency towards the divine or the mythical, as well as the grandiose nature of their statements, they are often the target of criticism from more reserved and pessimistic astrological personalities. If you’re feeling a little down, just hang out with an Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius and let their contagious euphoria lift you up! When the shadows loom, they don’t shy away, they light up the room. The FIRE SIGNS can transport you to faraway lands and introduce you to exciting new adventures; they also seem to be the source of all the best and most original ideas. It’s like they have a secret stash of creativity that they’re just dying to share with you. These lively folks are like human fireworks, always popping and sizzling with energy. Sometimes, they can be so eager that they forget to take a breather and let the world catch up. They’re the type of people who are always ready to hit the ground running, both literally and figuratively. In general, they are the type of people that get excited about new beginnings, who love to get their bodies moving, and who like to be the ones to have a good time.
Beware of the WATERY MOONS, for they are as delicate as a flower and as moody as the weather. To provoke an emotional response, one must approach with the utmost empathy, sensitivity, and care. Moon in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces is notoriously hard to anticipate because everything is always changing and flowing in what appears to be an irrational way. The WATER SIGNS are masters of emotional manipulation and have an innate awareness of what makes a lover tick, yet they often expect others to read their minds to understand their unspoken demands. These signs are like elusive souls, disappearing into the shadows, burrowing underground, or taking a dip in the abyss to recharge their spiritual batteries when the going gets tough. Get ready to witness their mystical disappearing act firsthand. The water type also spends a lot of time thinking about the deep meanings of love and life. Many are fragile and highly sensitive, and they all have a sanctuary where they can retreat when the world becomes too much to bear.
The Moon in water needs above all to receive an emotional response from others. It is the most important thing in the world, even if the response is hatred and anger. At least, that is better than one’s feelings falling down a hole somewhere…Nothing activates anxiety in a watery moon than another person’s unresponsiveness, because it is like dropping into the void. One ceases to exist. By Liz Greene The Luminaries
