Some associate mermaids with the seductive Sirens of Greek Mythology who would lure sailors to their deaths with their enchanting songs, or with other perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks, etc. Others have recognized mermaids as pure and benevolent beings, swimming with innocent curiosity, and often helping humans.
Regardless, a clear connection between mermaids and the sea exists, strongly bonding them to the element of water. Let’s take a moment now to dive deeper into mermaid-like qualities of the water signs of the zodiac, and explore how these links may manifest in astrology.
Cancer
The ebb and flow of the changing tide. The alternating phases of the Moon. Cancer embodies the goddess energies of the mermaid - a nurturing wellspring of emotions.
Cancers are sensitive and empathetic, constantly reacting to small changes in the energetic landscape.They have a keen sense of subtlety and nuance, picking up on even the tiniest social cue.
Like mermaids, they live in the seas of intuitive energy, allowing their hearts to not only speak to them, but trust that they’re leading them in the right direction.
Scorpio
Alluring and intense, Scorpios represent the mermaid’s power and passion. Mermaids are completely governed by their emotions, allowing them to fully flow, meaning there are no half measures with them.
When they feel, it’s with immense and passionate feeling -- whether that be love, anger, or pain. Sound scary? It can be, but it also takes this sign to an emotional depth that others may never reach.
Pisces
Pisces is represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions, symbolizing duality, and the somewhat opposing forces present within this sign.
Much like a mermaid, Pisces can possess a multi-faceted personality. Sweet and childlike in one moment, wise and discerning the next. Their amorphous nature can be confusing to some, but also evokes a certain mystery, elusiveness, and otherworldly quality much like a mermaid.
