Cascades, waterfalls, chutes, and cataracts – no matter your exact form, you’re famous (and famously photogenic) for moving super fast and straight, interrupting your near-vertical steps with flat-but-short pools. You know where you’re going — starting out to follow your calling toward the sea — and you’re going NOW.
Most commonly found on steep hills and in V-notched canyons, you are associated with new beginnings. Your primary asset is your sheer power.
If you’re flowing through fine sediment — the small stuff — it’s unavoidable that your location will shift constantly. That’s okay. But given a firm bedrock or boulder foundation, you’re not only awesomely powerful but incredibly stable — a true force of nature.
Self-care tip: Keep your foundation strong by using your mind’s analytical ability to question any painful thought, asking “is it true?” (thework.com)
