Associations of the Water Element
The Element of Water
Cardinal Direction: West
Color: Blue
Tarot: Cups / Chalices
The ebb and flow of water is represented in our everyday lives, and the cycles our lives take. Strongly tied to the mother’s womb, water signifies healing, birth, and changes. We also see the energy of the mother in the compassion that water tries to teach us, and the creativity it seeks to bring into our lives. Cleansing oneself is often a hard task without the flexibility that water provides, and so we should be thankful for this life giving gift.
The strongest message of Water is Let it Go!
