• Let’s say, for example, you meet an old friend from school after so many years. Now you know a little bit of astrology, not for showing off, but to rebuild the bonding. Where to start asking them questions? You know their birthday, not the birth time.
• In this scenario, we must see from the position of the Sun in these water signs in a horoscope.

Before learning the differences, let’s see what they have in common:

• Water stores memory (this discovery won a Nobel Prize)
• Water signs tend not to forget things easily (both good and bad). They cherish those memories until the day they die, and they take great pleasure in recalling those fond memories.
• The question that we can ask is, “Do you remember when we did … (something stupid but fun at school)?
• If Mercury (short-term memory) is weak, water signs can still be forgetful. This happens to any sign.
• Water Signs, however, will store information in case they need to use it.
•  

The difference between the water Signs, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces

1/ Cancer is like a river, a movable sign, movable water; the shape of the river is soft and curvy (flexible).

Wherever there’s a river, there’s a civilisation. Look at the map! Every single big city on the planet has a river that runs through it. You remember the main characteristic of a Cancer is nurturing, a life supporter.

• Should ask: what they do, they usually share. They help others a lot. - Where the river flows, life begins.
• Should not ask about their finance. Cancer Sun often doesn’t do well financially. (not all of them, but the majority).

2/ Scoprio is like a frozen lake, a fixed sign, a fixed water body; solid and passionate

Why is a frozen lake ruled by the fire planet Mars? It does not make sense, right? - It does indeed, that’s where the transformation begins. The ice melts into liquid. The word “frozen” should be understood as a layer that blocks things from outside from entering the water (emotion). Sun in Scorpio can be cold with close ones, but the opposite, they are very warm with strangers, that’s the layer they build automatically, unconsciously. They create an impression first in front of others, so that others perceive them “This person is nice/ not nice”. That layer is there to cover the “real Scoprio” inside.

The best way to know a Scorpio is through their horoscope. Trying to know them through conversations is often a waste of time.

• Should ask: about life experience, life lesson, wisdom. Scoprio Sun has a ton in their pocket, and they will share.
• Should not ask: about career, especially if you’re still young 20s, 30s. Scorpio Sun often struggles and has unpleasant experiences in their career in the early stages of life. This is where the life lesson comes from.

3/ Pisces is the big ocean, a dual sign (half fixed, half movable because the ocean doesn’t go anywhere, but movements happen constantly in and out), wise and tolerant

Pisces Sun has a wide knowledge and understanding of many fields. Not only do they know about what happens on this shore (matters in their land), but also other shoreside (for example, they make tea pots. They know about tea pot production in other countries as well). There’s nowhere that the ocean doesn’t touch.

• Should ask for advice on how they start their career
• Should not ask about their married life. It's not that bad. Sun Pisces just focus on their work more than on family. If you ask, "Everything is fine," that may be their answer.
•  

4/ That’s a practical way to know the difference between these water signs. You can note their water forms/states and then add other planets with the character of that form/state. You will find out more interesting interpretations on your own.

For example, Cancer is like a river. A river has a soft bending curvy shape. Any planet that goes in Cancer will be soft and bend (flexibly adapt to the situation). If Mars goes in Cancer, the will to fight is gone, debilitated, the person may cry often while watching a movie, even.

(The basic knowledge about Cancer can be found on Google)

Notice in the photo, Cancer is in the top right corner. Below the Cancer, there are Hydra (the serpent), Canis Minor, Monoceros (the unicorn), Canis Major, and Argo Navis (the ship). You can use any app to look at the sky and find these constellations. What Cancer includes

• The 2 dogs, Canis Minor and Canis Major, indicate mistakes that Cancer often makes. One of them is that they care too much for others, including animals. Later in life, Cancer Ascendants often realise that and learn to deal with their emotion better. They change from emotion to compassion. But why a mistake? You figure that out yourself, if you want to know.
• The head of the serpent (Hydra) is in Cancer, the tail ends in Libra, also very interesting to study. I give you a hint: Lord Shiva meditates here.
• Remember Noah's Ark, the savior. Lord Rama and the Buddha are both Cancer Ascendants. They are the best examples of what a Cancer could be like, serving life and reducing suffering.
• For the majority of Cancer Rising, there’s one more interesting creature in the sky. That’s the unicorn. Symbol of pure and healing. Cancer is often a late bloomer who goes through a lot of struggles because of its emotional nature. When they rise, they shine mostly in healing professions (doctor, teacher, therapist, etc). Of course, there are engineers, businessmen, etc, but much less.

That’s the first clue for those who are interested in learning astrology. The constellation around the zodiac signs tells a lot about the main zodiac itself.

The symbol of Pisces is the two fishes, which represent two different sides of a person. People with prominent Pisces in their horoscope rarely show the world who they are. What we often can see is one side of Pisces. The other side is kept hidden.

According to Hindu Mythology, Aadhi Shesha, the cosmic serpent, on which Lord Vishnu sleeps, rules the Uttara Bhadrapada Nashaktra in Pisces. The serpent is not popular for its speech, and at the same time, Aadhi Shesha has Lord Vishnu on its back. Pisces natives are very well aware of their responsibilities they are carrying. They are the protector of the ancient knowledge. Often we see that many sages, gurus have strong Pisces in their chart. They only pass their wisdom to the right person at the right time.

Mercury represents our communication skill is debilitated in this Nashaktra.

In the example below of a soldier. He was captured during a war and released after 5 years. During the time he spent in the enemy's prison, despite being tortured, he only let the enemy know his name and his unit.

1/ He has Saturn Retrograde in the Ascendant of Aquarius, which signifies that he can handle suffering under extreme conditions.

2/ The 2nd house cusp is the Uttara Bhadrapada Nashaktra.

3/ His 2nd house, Pisces, is empty, but it has 3 important aspects:

- From the 2nd Lord Jupiter itself;

- From the aspect of the exalted Mercury in Virgo, in the 8th House;

- From the exalted aspect of Venus.

which makes the 2nd house the strongest house in the whole chart. The native did keep the information about his unit secret.

His 10th Lord, Mars, receives the exalted aspect from Jupiter in the 10th house. His Sun is in the sign of Leo. Later in life, he attains a high position in society.
