Water is empathy. Water is an innate understanding of emotion. Hence, the voids indicate a lack in these areas, by definition of the word and topic of voids lol

But I don't see water voids as uncaring or unemotional. They just might have a different approach.
So for example - lets say you're a woman and your boyfriend cheats, and then breaks up with you for this other woman.
A water void friend may offer logical advice. They may offer to kick your ex's @ss. They may offer to take you out for ice cream, or maybe drinks or a local band, etc. Take a small trip.

I agree totally but there is a different approach and many water voids will not accept this ime

I know a double Aquarius (Sun/Moon) whose planets are almost all in air, not a single water planet. He is unable to discuss deep emotional issues or offer genuine sympathy, even though he tries to. There is a "block" in his emotions that prevents him from fully expressing heavier feelings.
I also know a double Sagittarius with low water and she is very unempathetic, cannot put herself in the other person's shoes. She has an afflicted Venus in Scorpio, and will often create love triangles for herself by involving with married/taken men, and then complains all of the time when this happens. If anyone offers sympathy, she claims that "they don't fully understand." Very emotionally self-absorbed IMO.

So I take it you are saying that you have no planets in water signs and no planets in fire signs as well?

That would mean your birth planets are concentrated in air and earth signs. Not a bad combination. There is no basis for the assumption that a person should be born with at least one planet in every element. The birth chart is a result of that soul's choice for its incarnation and I respect that. I don't assume that choice is itself perfection, but that a rationale, intuition and intention was put into motion that belongs to them, not me.

Souls choose such influences as heavy concentrations of planets in a particular element or elements. And there is no interpretation one can give for something that is not there. In astrology we interpret what a planet is and what it is like in a particular sign. I could assume that with no planets in fire signs you lack ambition or enthusiasm, but what if Mars/Sun/Jupiter is in angular aspect with your Asc? I would be wrong.

Elements are fundamentally of the planets. A singular planet can color an entire chart with enough influence to surprise you. Neptune parallel your Asc can bring about the imagination, sensitivity, artistry and creativity to a life that then does not need any planets in water signs.

Astrology can only interpret what is there, not what is not there, but is assumed to be necessary. That is just an assumption created within popular, sign-based astrology.
