3 Zodiacs Who Embody The Spirit Of The Ocean (+ Rituals To Tap Into It)
The ocean is a vast, deep and complex place. It’s calming, peaceful and healing, yet forceful, chaotic and destructive. The pure power of it has always captivated mankind, and there are a few zodiacs in particular who are deeply connected to the spirit of the ocean. These three signs can tap into its magnificence and use it to empower their mind, bodies and souls.
There are simple rituals they can perform while seaside, which helps them tap into the mystical power of the ocean. That being said, when it comes to Mother Nature (and the ocean in particular), safety comes first. They should be mindful of the water/weather conditions, never venture out alone and be sure to check the conservation and environmental laws if they plan on doing some beach combing. Without future adieu, let’s get into why the sea is so significant for these signs and how they can harness its healing and inspirational properties.
Cancer
You are someone who is usually caught in the current of emotions. Like an empathic little sponge you take in your own feelings and that of those around you. Being a Water sign, you are so connected to the realm of deep emotions. That being said, spending time around the element of water is both powerful and comforting— especially when it comes to the ocean. Your sign’s archetype is the crab, so being seaside is literally like coming home. The ocean and beach is a healing ritual for you. The sand beneath your feet is grounding, while the salt water cleanses. It serves as a reminder to go with the flow, bringing indescribable personal peace. In this state you can tap into your intuition and inner knowing, you can nurture yourself and others more efficiently. Connecting with the spirit of the ocean can be quite empowering, as it reminds you that you already have everything you need. Whether it’s a calm sunny day or rough seas for the time being, release control, be like tides and those feelings ebb and flow.
Ocean Ritual: A Cleansing Swim
Whether you’re on vacation, a day trip or live near a beach; a cleansing swim can be a refreshing reset. Enter the water with the intention of cleansing your mind, body and soul. Really feel the salt water on your skin, notice the current, the push and pull of the waves. Let it clear out all in your energetic field that does not serve you. If the water is too rough, or it’s unsafe to swim, you can also walk the shoreline in the crashing waves. Splash some water on your body, or simply take a seat where they wash upon the shore. When you’re done, be sure to thank the ocean and Mother Nature for the healing.
Capricorn
The potential and opportunities you see and create for yourself is limitless. Much like the vast blue itself. As an Earth sign you may be questioning exactly how or why you are so connected to the spirit of the ocean. Your zodiacal symbol is the mythical sea goat, and its “fishtail” attribute indicates you are strongly influenced and empowered by the element of Water. Almost like an undertone of its power lies in you. When it comes to your archetype, the “sea” comes before the “goat.” Even if you don’t know it, your intuition and capacity to nurture are huge contributors to your success and talents. The ocean is also a great force that is always in motion, even in states of rest there is something brewing in the background— much like yourself. Hearing the sound of the waves, walking the shoreline or going for a swim in the salty water can be an ultra rejuvenating experience for you.
Ocean Ritual: Intentional Stone Casting
Whenever you are at the beach, trying some intentional stone casting could go a long way when it comes to capturing the empowering energy of the ocean. First find your calm, listen to the waves roar, then walk the shoreline picking up any rock or shell that is calling to you. Once you’ve gathered a nice handful you can begin. Take a moment to connect with the spirit of the ocean, and when you feel ready, start casting those stones! Assign a personal intention to each one, whether it’s a goal you are trying to achieve or a habit you wish to kick or cultivate, each piece of beach should get its own implication. When you are done be sure to thank the ocean for its support, and go forth in empowerment.
Pisces
It’s in your nature to go with the flow, as you are naturally intune with the gentle ebb of life. You are strongly connected to and empowered by the spirit of the ocean. It reminds you just how precious life is, and can be a source of immense inspiration for you. Especially because your ruling planet is Neptune (Poseidon), “The God of The Sea.” You have a natural deep compassion and respect for the ocean along with all its inhabitants. It is estimated that around 80% of it is still undiscovered, and you yourself always seem to be seeking. The pure mystery and mysticism of the sea can ramp up your adventurous nature and courage within. It also contains immense depth, much like yourself, as you have an innate ability to go into the deepest parts of your soul and psyche. The ocean is scientifically accepted as the source of all life on this planet, and when you embrace it, you too are tapping into source energy— which brings more inner peace, wisdom and creativity to your everyday life. The archetype of the two fish gives your sign a slightly dualistic nature, but the ocean can help balance any internal and external forces. Thus bringing you more tranquility, harmony and a profound connection to the world around you. Entering or being by the sea is a lot like coming home.
Ocean Ritual: Seaside Art
Next time you head to the shoreline, pack a canvas, paint and some brushes. While these aren’t typical beach bag items, creating art with the ocean can be such an enriching experience, for you especially. Before you begin, gather some shells to act as your artist pallette. Then find a quiet spot, meditate in the fresh salty air and begin. Let the power of the ocean fill you with creativity as you paint. Let yourself be inspired by its majestic spirit, and be sure to thank it for being your muse once you are done.
