This is a time to seek solid foundations and balance in life to help provide personal healing. This healing can come through connecting with the inner self and finding physical wisdom.

Because of it’s ability to change its shape to ease through paths of least resistance, water is considered an element of wisdom. The knowledge of when and how to change can also be seen in water’s ability to form from a liquid, to solid, to gas.
Water can move us forward towards our life’s goals and provide us with nourishment along the way.
