Water Signs in Zodiac
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are grouped together because they share an emotional engagement with the world and those in it. However, they are different in their modes of operation. It"s the three Modalities – Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable – that give each sign further definition and separates one from the other. Traits of the three separate zodiacs according to their Modalities are as follows:

Cancer Water: Cancer is the Cardinal Water sign of the zodiac. Like the waters of a fast-moving stream as it winds and explores its way toward a farm pond or river, Cancer actively explores emotional connections. Cancer is the most empathetic of the water signs.

Scorpio Water: Scorpio is the Fixed Water sign of the zodiac. Scorpio water is like that of a dark swamp; humid and soggy, filled with thorns and thickets, unmoving but teeming with hidden life below its still murky surface. Scorpio"s emotions are extreme, dark, deep and mysterious. Scorpio is the most emotionally receptive and most emotionally secretive sign of the zodiac.

Pisces Water: Pisces is the Mutable water sign of the zodiac. Pisces water is like the all-encompassing waters of the oceans; it knows no bounds and cannot be contained. Pisces has oceanic awareness and is the most intuitive sign of the zodiac.

Compatibility of Water Signs
A relationship between Water signs is likely to get quite wet from time to time. The zodiac signs that are the most harmonious with the Water signs are the Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) and the Fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius).
