Water Signs, Zip Your Lips!!

If you have any planet in a water sign (yes, Pluto in Scorpio counts, don’t argue) or your Ascendant is Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, just do not tell people your business until it is done. I had someone comment the other day: “I’m a Cancer rising, I just got a job offer!” First of all, congrats. Fellow Cancer rising here. But here is the thing me and every other Cancer rising, Pisces rising, Scorpio rising, anyone drowning in water placements have had to learn the hard way. Stop announcing stuff before it is actually solid.

Wait for the signature, fellow water sign placement! A job offer is not real until it is on paper. Period.

Why water placements get hit harder

Sure, technically this applies to everyone. But water energy just soaks stuff up. Fire is fire, it burns. Air stays air, O₂ is O₂. Earth is solid, dirt is dirt (and yes, I am a Capricorn stellium so I am allowed to call dirt dirt). But water? Water clings to everything. Excitement, envy, someone’s fake “I’m happy for you” voice, you are carrying all of it.

Tell people too early and their energy just seeps in. And water signs? We are basically emotional sponges with legs.

Keep the win to yourself (for now)

Picture it: “Oh my god, Bertha, Jackie, Tom and I are finally in escrow on a house!” Two hours later, Tom rolls up in a shiny new F-150. Budget wrecked. House gone. Okay, maybe that is extreme, but that is how this works. Outside energy, random curveballs, everything starts sticking to your plans before they are even real.

People always say, “But I only tell people who are happy for me!” Okay, go ahead. Me? I am quiet. I celebrate alone or with the one person who is actually building it with me. And then when it is real, signed, done, sure, I will share. But until then? Mouth shut.

Trust me, I have the receipts

I am not just talking. I am a Cancer rising, Scorpio moon, Pisces south node, Pisces midheaven at 29°. My Scorpio moon rules my chart. Basically, I am a human water feature with feelings. I have learned the hard way, repeatedly, that plans need to stay sealed off until they are real. If you are heavy in water placements, yours do too.

Bottom line

Water sticks. To everything. So if you are Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces anywhere in your chart, put a lid on your dreams until they are cooked through. Celebrate in private. Announce when it is real.
