To me, water, especially in its ritual form of baptism / immersion, a 
cleansing of evil, a mini destruction depiction (the ancient floods sent by 
the deity to cleanse the earth of evil...linked to your rainbow) would 
belong in the zodiacal section. Water was for cleaning, both actually and 
metaphorically.

Odd, I was just wondering about that very idea not a half hour ago.

Jim
