5 Zodiac Signs Who Were Mermaids In Their Past Life

Have you ever felt like you aren’t quite part of this world?

Maybe you belong in a different realm, like the swirling waters under the sea. If you feel most at home in the ocean, a lake, or even your bathtub, then you just might have mermaid magic in your blood. Here are the five zodiacs with siren sorcery running through their veins – a couple of them may surprise you!

Cancer: Moonlit Mermaid

Every star sign belongs to a natural element, and as the first water sign of the zodiac, it’s no wonder that Cancers possess mermaid magic. They are mysterious sirens who only surface at night, when they sing to the moon. Cancers have a special connection with the moon that goes beyond its tidal pull – they are guided by the celestial body of emotions and divine feminine energy. Just like the moon, they only reveal themselves in the darkness, bringing their light to the spaces that need it most. Cancer mermaids have pearlescent, shining skin, silvery blue scales, and long, flowing tendrils. They bring comfort and joy to the rare souls who catch a glimpse of them, and they are a benevolent force in the waters. 

Scorpio: Dark Water Mermaid

Scorpio mermaids are elusive and powerful, dwelling in the deepest, darkest waters. Few creatures gravitate toward the creepiest, gloomiest depths of the sea, but Scorpios are fearless. They embrace darkness and transcend melancholy because they are so strong and resilient. Guided by Pluto, the dwarf planet of power and transformation, Scorpios have a fire within them that cannot be dimmed. They go through many metamorphoses in their lives, often rising from the ashes of destruction stronger than ever. Scorpio mermaids rule the deepest parts of the sea, where only the toughest underwater animals can survive. They have inky hair and skin to blend in with their surroundings, and they never use their powers to harm ocean life. 

Capricorn: Ice Mermaid

This one may come as a shock, but Capricorns certainly possess mermaid magic. As the zodiac represented by the sea goat, a mythical creature with the upper body of a goat and the lower half of a fish, it makes sense that this earth sign has siren power. Not many creatures can withstand the rough conditions of icy cold waters, and Capricorns tend to come off cold as ice themselves. But, just like the sea goat’s fins, there is a surprising softness beneath their chilly exterior. Deep down, they are warm and comforting, and only those who know them best get to see this side. As perfectionists, Capricorn mermaids are spotless, with pearly white scales, fins, and hair. They rule the Arctic seas and all the creatures that live there.

Aquarius: Quirky Mermaid

Although it begins with the word “aqua,” Aquarius surprisingly isn’t a water sign – it’s an air sign. Aquarians are eccentric, independent, and rebellious, which is why they are the quirkiest mermaids of the sea. Since she’s a dreamy, hopeless romantic, many have guessed that Ariel from The Little Mermaid is a Pisces, but it’s very possible she is actually an Aquarius. After all, the two star signs are right next to each other in the zodiac, so she may be on a cusp and have traits from each. Ariel is also a free spirit, yearning for independence from her family and, of all things, legs. It’s easy to imagine Aquarius mermaids longing to walk on land, using a fork as a hairbrush, or just adorning themselves with flashy scales and strange shells. Aquarius mermaids look different from all the rest, and they can be found alone in their grottoes, surrounded by their favorite rare treasures and unusual curiosities. 

Pisces: Mystical Mermaid

As the final water sign of the zodiac and the star sign represented by the fish, Pisces has the most potent siren sparkles running through their veins. They are gentle and loving, determined to keep the waters calm and peaceful. Pisces mermaids are beautiful and ethereal, wearing delicate strings of sea glass around their necks and colorful seaweed woven in their hair. They can be found deep in their underwater caves, nestled among their collections of sparkling crystals and rainbow seashells. Other mermaids and creatures flock to them for advice, because Pisceans are great listeners blessed with patience and wisdom.
