When we think about the ‘yin’ element of Water, we immediately enter the realm of the mysterious Feminine. Images arise such as the refreshing, nurturing, cleansing, cooling qualities of spring rain and also the power, enchantment and mystery of the deep, blue sea. Water flows, dissolves and unifies, and indeed the watery temperament desires to be intimate, to merge and to experience the bliss of emotional security and containment. Containment is an important clue to understanding this type, as water will be contained by its boundaries, or else, as with the terror of a flood, it overwhelms, engulfs, saturates and drowns.

The watery individual is moved by feelings, by the irrational realm of romance and imagination, and seeks meaning through relating at a deeply personal and unexplainable level. Unconcerned with whether or not someone or something makes ‘logical sense’, they ask instead ‘does it feel right?’ The emotional, watery individual is concerned with feelings, values, rapport, belonging and memories.
