Astrology

J

ust like the sign of Cancer,

the crab’s behaviour is

governed by the cycle of the moon.

They release larvae at the peaks of

the quarter and full Moon. In Buddhism,

the shell represents a restful hermit

mode, symbolising the soul’s recovery: in

other words, go within to recuperate.

Attributes: Boundaries,

regeneration in solitude.

Blessings: Assists Cancerians

with a healthy balance

between privacy and

openness.

G

rowing

to 2.5

metres and

weighing

300kg,

these sea mammals can

control their heart rate

in order to boost

oxygen availability

and dive deeply.

Likewise, the sign of

Leo has a mighty

presence, drawing

attention with their

physique and charisma,

and with their strong

lion hearts, which are

deeply compassionate.

Attributes: Leadership,

charisma, compassion.

Blessings: Shows Leos how

to live by their hearts, not egos.

H

alf

human,

half fish,

mermaids

can breathe

on land and in water.

Less feared than the

siren, the mermaid is often

regarded as the angel of the

sea, said to warn sailors of

stormy weather ahead. The

sign of Virgo can – once their

need to criticise and pressurise

themselves and others has

been mastered – be as

healing as the mermaid.

Attributes: Service,

femininity, healing.

Blessings: Instructs

Virgos how to channel

their energies into

serving others.

L

ook at the

fascinating

seahorse – so

tiny but full

of character,

especially when

it comes to love.

Like Libra, they

mate for life.

Seahorses

can court for days,

performing a special

dance before breeding,

and some species appear to

be monogamous.

Attributes: Togetherness, loyalty.

Blessings: Energises Libra to seek

out or nourish the right partnership.

L

urking in deep

waters, the

octopus is as

intriguing as

the enigmatic

Scorpio.

The clever

eight-legged

mollusc can

remember a lot.

Scorpios also never

forget people’s words.

Like Scorpio, the octopus

is often unfairly feared and

depicted in mythology as monstrous.

Attributes: Wisdom, memory, depth.

Blessings: Guides Scorpios into using

their intuition for wisdom, not suspicion.

S

on of Poseidon, the God of

the Sea, Triton is the Greek

messenger of the ocean.

Depicted with the upper body of a

man and the tail of a fish, he carries a

trident and a conch shell. Likewise,

Sagittarius has a great masculinity –

regardless of sex – and charisma.

Attributes: Leadership, physical

prowess, control.

Blessings: Switches the

Sagittarian’s need to govern

others into mastering

themselves.

S

imilarly to the dark
phase of Capricorn
in December and
January, the turtle
rules the coldness
and spirituality
of winter.
Turtles have a
hardback shell, but
they’re slow swimmers.
They travel hundreds of
miles every year. Likewise,
the Capricorn sticks to a goal,
steadily reaching it over time.
Attributes: Longevity, slow
steadiness, staying power.
Blessings: Inspires Capricorn to venture
into new waters, instead of being cynical.

C

lever dolphins are warm

and protective towards

humans, and communicate

with each other.

Likewise, Aquarius is light-

hearted and approachable. In

mythology, the dolphin

represents the womb of the

sea, guiding souls in water.

Attributes:

Communication, depth.

Blessings: Tells Aquarians

not to be afraid of

intimacy.

T

his mammal

travels

through the sea,

and can reach

incredible sizes:

the blue whale grows to 30 metres!

They breathe air at the surface,

but submerge for long periods. In

mythology, the whale traverses the

cosmic waters of the Universe, and

its belly is depicted as the place

of death and rebirth. Likewise,

Pisces is able to get in touch with

the vast, hidden, spiritual realm.

Attributes: Transformation,

spirituality, depth.

Blessings: Persuades

watery Pisceans

to escape into

meditation,

rather than

intoxicants.
