The Water Element
Each of the 12 animal signs within the Chinese zodiac is associated with one of the five elements. This is known as the fixed element of the sign. The animal signs related to the Water Element are the Rat, the Ox and the Pig.
Generally, the fixed Water element indicates the potential for a powerful communicator and someone who is able to skillfully manipulate people into seeing a particular point of view. Those born under the Water element are observant and very quick to take advantage of opportunities and harness resources to fulfill their aims. They are also versatile and adaptable, embodying the very nature of Water, which is fluidity.
Additionally, each animal sign is further divided into the five sub-elements, depending on the year that the sign occurs.

Being born under in the Chinese Zodiac sign governed by the water element, reading this explanation from H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche was very informative to me.
Looking at the positive and negative attributes of those governed by Water and relating to feedback from my friends and relatives on my personalty traits, what is mentioned here is very accurate.
Good to know what are my negative traits and do whatever it takes to suppress the negativities, so that I can become a person for my own happiness and for those around me.
Once again, I reiterate what a diverse and informative website this is Tsemrinpoch.com. A living encyclopedia of knowledge and information as new topics of interest for a lot of people are posted weekly.

Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you for sharing with me the superb facts of the Water Element.
Before I actually read this post I had actually known nothing about the water element or so forth.
But now after reading this blog post today is just another day that I have learned something on Rinpoche’s blog.
Though I have never been to interested in horoscopes and so on I find it hard to not read any article on Rinpoche’s blog because even though one of Rinpoche’s Article’s like this one may be quite short but yet to me even though it is so short it has thought me about the strengths and weaknesses on the Water Element.
Though I am sure this is one of the earliest post on Rinpoche’s blog it has been a very beneficial article as from this article I have learnt something new.
Thank you Rinpoche for spending time to post about the Water Elements as well as the other elements which I am about to read and learn.
Love
Jutika
