The Water Element
The Water Element of Winter
Winter is the phase of the water element and is the time
when life descends to it’s deepest and most hidden. It is
from here that potential and the deeper gifts emerge as
the most fundamental aspects of being. Water hold
mystery, life in all its many forms emerging from this
element, and it is from here that new potential, new
beginnings and new ideas appear.
You are changeable, mysterious, magical-the depths of
the still lake, the bubbling mountain spring. Although
you may be timid and reclusive, you may also have the
capacity to be gushing, outward-looking and gregarious.
You can be extremely hardworking and deeply
supportive, keeping going long after others have given
up. Physically, the Water element governs the kidneys,
bladder, bones and nervous system.

'Life is a mirror -
on such a huge scale that until we realise it's there, we don't even see it. This mirror of miracles reflects what we need to see. It shows us again, again and yet again who we are. It reveals our deepest darkest, most hidden shadows. It reveals the energetic continuum that we and our life events and close relationships have created.'
