"Using color to alter emotional energy results in changed perceptions of the world, and our experience of it." ~ Suzy Chiazarri, The Complete Book of Color
Still Water Lies Deep
What is the nature of water? Water is life giving. Water represents change and movement - it evaporates, condenses, and freezes and yet retains its basic structure. Water can be gentle as a trickling brook or violently forceful as a raging waterfall or a storm at sea. Yet even in its gentleness, there is immense strength, for water trickling over rock can dissolve it over time.
Water element people experience the world through their emotions, though they may not always show it. The element of water is changeable, and it can be contained, or allowed to run freely. Your emotions run deep, but you tend to keep your true feelings to yourself. You are typically cool, calm and collected. You are good-natured and easy going, and you tend to put other people's needs ahead of your own. Your challenge is to put as much effort and energy into self-care as you do for others.
Water element people have a strong desire for peace and serenity. You have an ability to contain your emotions, which helps you hide disappointments and small annoyances. For example, when plans you thought had been agreed upon are changed suddenly, you are usually adaptable enough to carry on with the new plan and 'go with the flow'. Often though, the motivation behind your good nature is simply to avoid conflict or unpleasantness. Hiding your emotions has potential consequences.
"A 'No' uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble." ~ Mohandas K. Ghandi
There are times when you cannot keep your feelings hidden. Pent-up feelings creates a dam effect and once the floodgates are open, it is difficult to shut them again and you find yourself flooding everyone in your path with your feelings.
Naturally Empathic
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these." ~ George Washington Carver
The "Water element person" is naturally empathic. Perhaps it is your ability to contain your emotion, which helps you connect so well with others. You have an ability to empathize with a person at whatever stage of life they are at. You are a good listener, with a strong nurturing instinct. You are patient and loyal and loving. You tend to be a peacemaker who can bring people together when they are at odds with one another. You are a natural caretaker. You do not need recognition to do this and are quite content to work quietly behind the scenes. At heart you are introverted, conservative type of person who knows what they want to do and quietly goes about doing it without a lot of fanfare.
Family Ties
"Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one." ~ Jane Howard
Friends and family are very important to you. Family and close friends represent your link to the past. They give you a sense of belonging, an understanding of your past, where you've come from, and how you fit in.
Therefore, you tend to be sentimental and a romantic. You will probably have many photographs of loved ones in your home and many mementos of times you have spent together.
Colors that Support and Heal Water Element People
You are basically an introverted person who is genuinely quite shy. You are also reserved and naturally conservative. These traits can make you seem detached and 'cool' towards those outside your circle. Your taste in clothing and decorating style reflect your reserve, and the colors in your palette are also cool and reserved.
The colors that support you are subtle and delicate with many pastels. Adding white to a color creates a pastel, which results in a faded hue. On an emotional level, pastels relate to gentle and sensitive temperaments. The water palette is also muted, which means gray tones have been added as well. Toned-down colors have a more conservative and reserved feel to them than do bright primary colors. And to a water element person, muted colors look very elegant, sophisticated and understated.

"A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature." ~ Henry David Thoreau
You who are Water element people are Earth's eye. The high amount of Water energy in you means you are a natural healer. Water energy gives you wisdom and through your wisdom, you allow others to focus so they can see beyond their perceived limitations. You help close gaps between people and help them feel connected. The stillness of the lake mirrors your depth of emotion as something at once fragile and strong.
