Water
The Water Element represents all forms of water that exists on the earth. The range and transformative properties of water; clouds, rainfall, gentle streams, noisy waterfalls, the stillness of a frozen lake, a mighty river, the vast oceans, and waves. Water is all about the ability to change, to flow and overcome obstacles by eroding them away over long periods or sweeping them away like a tsunami at other times!The Ancient Chinese determined that the kidneys and urinary bladder, ‘the waterworks,’ and reproductive and sex organs are all connected to the Water element. Water types show qualities inherent to Winter which makes them appear rather cool, calm and reflective. A balanced Water Element uses resources of energy, time, contacts, and money wisely, rather than hoarding or overspending them. With an excess of this element said to cause indecision and lack of staying power.
