Water Priestesses - Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces

water priestesses are the stars of mythic theatre performing the greatest stories on earth. they don’t have to move or speak a word to make the force of their presence known, and every spirit in the room becomes hypnotised beneath the cosmic spell only they remember the ingredients to. marvellous, mysterious, and formidable forces stir chaos and maelstroms within, and most of their ordeals are kept secret so nobody truly knows how far below they have sunk before they rise again. it’s difficult to conceive how she manages to fight all of this on her own, and yet still create a wave in the world with the command of her psychic tsunami. she is not made for the earth but she can dissolve and soak the boundaries completely, her water sisters are starring in mythic plays while also dominating the corporate, business, and political floor with the resources she got told were weaknesses. resources like life experience and resiliency, empathy opened through personal tragedy, a sensitivity that enhances the depth of relationships, passion, sacrifice, emotion, and love  C
