Phase
February 21 - March 20
Sign: Pisces
Name: Fishes
Ruler: Neptune

Symbol - Fish
Pisces is symbolized by the Fish
Symbol is the two fishes, going in
opposite directions. Approaching life in a fishy way has its benefits
since they go with the flow, but it has its downside as well.
The two fishes in the symbol for
Pisces are variously represented in, for example, 'criss cross' form,
one above the other facing opposite directions, and often with a cord
joining them to each other. The cord between the two fishes suggests
an unbroken link between the Piscean duality of other-worldliness
and the everyday, a link that enables them to slip easily between
the world of imagination and the concrete everyday world, without
losing contact with either.
The astrological symbol for Pisces
has appeared in various forms in different civilizations through the
ages. One of the earliest uses of the symbol was in the Babylonian
Zodiac, something noted in the works of Carl G Jung. The presence
of the symbol in Babylonian culture is probably the earliest, predating
Egyptian astrological records by about two millennia. The Greeks took
their mythology into the skies by identifying constellations with
their gods and heroes. The myth of Typhon has been linked to the 11
starred constellation of Pisces.
Comparison with its symbol
Comparison with its symbol, the Fish:
Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions.
Pisceans often feel like they are being pulled in different directions,
making it difficult to make concrete decisions. The symbol of the
fish has been associated with followers of Jesus Christ.
The glyph for Pisces can be seen
as depicting two fish swimming in opposite directions. As well, it
shows two crescents of receptivity pointing outwards, held together
by the line of matter. The sign of Pisces is considered a receptive
sign - one that is impressionable, spiritual, and open-minded.
Color
Many artistic people are born under
the sign of Pisces - actors, dramatists, musicians and painters. The
female Pisces is truly feminine and the colors with which she is happiest
with will be predominantly PASTEL. Of these, the TURQUOISE BLUE or
SEA GREEN shades of the ocean will be seen most frequently. WHITE
is also fortunate to those born under the Pisces sign and, to a lesser
degree GREY. In combination, the new shades of blue - pewter or slate
- could well be attractive to Pisces. The Pisces home will likely
be eclectic reflecting the artistic temperament, and will be filled
with lots of art and bric-a-brac.
Pisces
Pisces (Latin for fish (plural) is
a zodiac constellation which lies between Aquarius to the west and
Aries to the east. Pisces is the domicile of Jupiter (since its discovery
Neptune has been considered Pisces' ruling or co-ruling planet by
many modern astrologers) and the exaltation of Venus. Pisces is also
one of the four Mutable signs (along with Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius),
and rules over the feet. Pisces is associated with the Twelfth house
of the horoscope, and therefore also rules over drugs, secrets, and
large institutions, such as prisons, hospitals, and even business
or governmental organizations.
The trident of the Roman sea-god
shows Neptune as a vast, deep, mysterious and unknown force. Although
the effects of Neptune can be seemingly nebulous, such obscure aspects
can be dissolved by merging into the vast ocean of oneness with the
universe.
This is the mutable water sign. Piscean
energy is the most fluid and watery of all. People born under this
sign are sensitive, dreamy and mystical. Unlike the two other water
energies, Scorpio and Cancer, Pisces energy has no hard shell. The
Piscean emotions are pure and simple. These people go with the flow,
giving it an easiness, and oneness with nature. They prefer to follow
rather than lead. Piscean energy is unworldly, imaginative and mystical.
They’re empathetic, open-hearted
and intuitive. They rely on their instincts rather than facts or logic,
experiencing things almost completely subjectively. Day dreamy and
creative, they prefer to go with the flow rather than fight the current.
The sign of the Fish rules the House
of the Unconscious, which says a lot about the world that Pisceans
live in. The Fish enjoys alternating between conscious and unconscious
states, the better to develop a romance in their vivid minds. When
it’s back to earth, Pisceans are selfless and intuitive and
love to shower a partner with exquisite fantasies and other sweet
things becomes a blissful state for both. The emotions of the Fish
run deep and those born under this Water sign can flow like a river
and have a sensitive and spiritual nature, which can be quite alluring.
Fish appear to be individuals, but
they ever seen a school of them swimming together? They act as one.
Each is part of a greater whole. And the Pisces Fish are more aware
of their interdependency than any other sign. It's as if Pisces live
in an ocean and the spirit that flows through them is like the one
ocean that flows through all fishes. The symbol of the Fish is also
the symbol of Christianity, the predominant religion during the past
two thousand years -- also known to astrologers as the "Age of
Pisces".
Pisces are spiritual in nature and
emotional in expression. Pisces intuition and imagination are at once
Pisces strengths and weakness. Pisces are attracted to the mystical
side of things, and herein lay potential danger, for when pulled beneath
the currents of everyday life, the realms of imagination and the subconscious
offer little structure. Without the foundation of reality, it becomes
easy to flounder and to lose direction. Pisces own salvation, however,
can come from helping others less fortunate that themselves, especially
those who have fallen into the misty realms of drugs, alcohol or spiritual
confusion.
The Pisces motto might be "Reality
is just a shared illusion," and, in a higher sense this may be
true. Nevertheless, they still need to survive in this "shared
illusion" of reality, and sometimes this becomes a struggle for
the compassionate Fish, who can feel the pain of the world as if it
were their own. There's no easy escape for them. Their best path is
to follow a creative or spiritual pursuit while doing their work in
the real world.
If they are unable to pierce its
mysteries there will be confusion, dishonesty, martyrdom, and indecisiveness.
Neptune Rules the Sign of Pisces. Neptune appears to be a higher vibration
of Venus, offering a deeper and more refined form of energy. When
one can get in touch with some of the spiritual energies of Neptune,
then they experience a higher degree of compassion, beauty, and divinity.
Neptune was once known as Poseidon
the Greek sea god who administered all the lakes and the rivers. Neptune
turned himself into a stallion to woo the goddess Demeter when she
became a mare, thus he has been called the inventor of horse racing.
The planet Neptune bears its closest association with Pisces, the
most watery of all the signs, and is particularly concerned with dancing
and poetry. Neptune encourages imagination, sensitivity and idealism.
On the downside: Dishonesty, Martyrdom,
and Indecisiveness in most affairs.
Their good qualities include: Sensitivity to the needs of others and
Idealism.
Their life’s work: Learning to use their creative imagination
to the benefit of others, not just self.
Key Planet - Neptune
Ruler: Neptune - symbol of fantasy
and imagination This blue planet is associated with the sea and governs
the intuitive mind, transformation and spirituality. It is the psychic's
planet and reigns over dreams, fantasy, sensitivity and refinement.
It is also the planet of compulsions and addiction.
Neptune was the God (or Goddess)
of the Seas. It symbolizes the dissolution of reality, for all Earth
arises from the ocean and eventually to it returns. Neptune is represented
by the mists, which prevent us from seeing what's really as the key
planet for Pisces; Neptune is about the spiritual and the mystical.
It's about what one cannot see with five senses.
Element - Water
Astrologically, the water element
symbolizes emotion. Water runs deep; it seeks its own level and will
flow until it has found it. The cycle of water is endless with the
snows falling in the mountains and melting. The mountain streams join
to make the great rivers that run to the sea. The tides and currents
churn the oceans. Similarly, our feelings are flowing as they connect
the present with past experiences. Sometimes the waters are so deep
that we cannot put words to our feelings.
The waters of Pisces are about the
waters of consciousness itself. We live in a sea of thoughts and feelings
and beliefs. These waters connect each of us to one another in ways
that go beyond our rational understanding of life.
Twelfth House - Endings
The Twelfth House is like the astrological
refuse collector. It's not about endings in the traditional sense;
it's more about recycling. Here is where we brush up against our own
limitations and see how they undo what we've done. Here is where it
all dissolves into the boundless cosmos, only to be transformed and
to start anew, back in the First House, all over again.
Origin
Pisces is depicted by two playful
fish, frolicking head-to-tail in a counter-clockwise direction, although
it is also shown as two fish facing opposite directions linked by
a band. Egyptian astrologers believed the constellation Pegasus was
a boat that pulled the two fish underneath it --hence the band.
In Greek astrology, the Pisces story
is similar to that of Capricorn. Venus and Cupid were supposedly playing
innocently by a river when they were approached by a monster (the
same one, in fact, that threatened Capricorn). Like Capricorn, they
dove into the river for safety, at which time the goddess Minerva
took pity on them and lifted them into the heavens for posterity.
The significant aspects to this myth
are many. First of all, Venus represents pure love and Cupid mischief
in romance, both of which are strongly present in the Piscean character.
Secondly, the two were saved by water -- hence Pisces is a water sign,
occurring during the time of year when rainfall is most plentiful.
In fact, Jesus Christ was born in the Piscean age (time itself travels
through ages of the zodiac which affect us all), promised to wash
away man's sins, and is often represented by a fish; he also fed multitudes
of people with two fish and five loaves, magically turning them into
twelve baskets of food, which astrologers believe to be symbolic of
the Piscean trait of great spiritual love to all twelve zodiac signs.
Finally, Minerva is the goddess of wisdom and patroness of the arts;
so Pisceans are spiritually wise and immensely creative.
Pisces is ruled by both Jupiter and
Neptune, both of which govern the imagination and emotions, as opposed
to practical matters. As a result, Pisceans are the most sensitive,
creative, and adaptable of all the signs, but the least organized.
In the anatomical realm, Pisces rules the feet and toes, the foundation
on which the entire body is supported. This is ironic, because Pisceans
are not considered strong people, either physically or emotionally.
But just as each sign is assigned a part of the body, so each is also
assigned a stage of man's life; the ancients believed that Aries'
immature selfishness resembles the first stage of childhood, and that
therefore Pisces' spiritual wisdom represents the final stage of maturity.
Indeed, there is a great deal of strength --albeit a misunderstood
one -- in spiritual wisdom.

Sun in Pisces
As the twelfth and last sign of the
zodiac, Pisces contains within itself a little experience of all the
signs. This gives Pisces Suns the ability to identify with people
from all walks of life -- from all backgrounds -- in some way. These
individuals are not only changeable and adaptable, they have open
minds and tremendous understanding. But Pisces itself is often misunderstood.
Pisces Suns may spend a good portion of their lives yearning for understanding,
and the other part in a state of divine discontent. Suffering is sometimes
glamorized in the Piscean world.
Sun in Pisces people are frequently
pegged as wishy-washy, but this is all a matter of opinion. What they
will find behind a vaguely directionless, spacey manner is a deep
person with real dreams. Their dreams are more than getting that picket
fence or making it up the corporate ladder. Pisces are tuned in to
a higher purpose and their dreams transcend the individual. A deep
love for humanity and compassion that knows no bounds is found with
this placement of the Sun.
The Sun is in aversion to its own
domicile (Leo) here, which shows a tendency not to look at or see
the self. This indicates that the self and ego, and a drive for greatness
are often de-emphasized to a large extent. This doesn't mean that
they suffer from mediocrity just that pride isn't usually one of their
vices; and when they do achieve something great (like Einstein) they
are modest about it. More literally, this is the Sun's 8th solar house,
which means that this is the place where ego and selfishness dies.
This sign also belongs to the watery quadrant of winter. The result
is that the native is very sensitive, compassionate, and considerate
of others feelings and needs, and can be insensitive to their own.
Because the Sun is in aversion to its own domicile, it is likely that
they can be easily influenced and confused on issues that others feel
strongly about, particularly when there are two opposing views. Their
perspective will allow them to be able to see the other points of
view easily. Because the lord of this place is Jupiter, and the Sun
is not behaving like its self, these individuals are a bit retiring
at times and often seek solace in order to put into perspective all
that they experience, which is often considerable.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day help to purify and create clear distinctions in
the natives sense of purpose. It also makes it easier for these individuals
to make sense of their experiences more objectively and with some
sense of reason rather than just relying on gut instinct. They make
good moderators or judges because of their ability to combine compassion
with their objectivity.
In a nocturnal chart, the cold and
wet of the night work against the hot and dry nature of the Sun. These
individuals may not be very clear about their sense of purpose in
life. Therefore it may take quite a while for them to decide upon
their life's direction. They may be overly sensitive and may worry
too much about pleasing everyone without consideration for their own
needs. When this gets too burdensome, they often drop out of sight
for a time.
Pisceans are not known to be cutthroat
business types, nor are they given to throwing themselves out into
the world in an aggressive manner. But make no mistake about it; Pisces
can be extraordinarily successful when given the chance to express
themselves. The arts, marketing, music, teaching, drama, and healing
arts - these are all fields in which Pisces can find expression. Their
imagination, attunement to humanity, and remarkable intuition endow
them with enviable gifts of insight and creativity.
Pisces is a sensitive sign -- both
sensitive to criticism and sensitive to others' feelings. Easily touched
by human suffering, at least in theory, Pisces wouldn't hurt a fly.
They believe in people, are deeply hurt by compassionless human behavior,
and have a hard time saying no. Harsh realities are avoided either
through escapist behavior or self-delusion; but every now and again
reality does raise its ugly head, and hits Pisces over the head. This
is a sad time indeed. Pisces retreats into their own world, self-pitying
and giving pep talks to them ("I will never trust again!").
Rest assured, though, that these periods are rather short-lived and
even useful. Pisces seems to derive energy from their (generally short)
bouts of self-pity. They come back stronger, with a spring in their
step, ready to face the world again, and just as, if not more, compassionate
and trusting as they were before. Some might even wonder if Pisces
finds pleasure in suffering. Sometimes this is the case, but most
of the time; Pisces pulls a lot of creative energy from sadness. Pisces
is the poet or artist with angst, although this trait is often more
apparent with Moon in Pisces.
We find plenty of artists, poets,
and musicians with Sun (and other personal planets) in Pisces. Piscean
themes are woven throughout the songs of Billy Corgan of the Smashing
Pumpkins and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, for example.
Some Famous People with Sun in Pisces:
Elizabeth Barrett Browning (Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Pisces),
Drew Barrymore (Sun and Venus in Pisces), Kurt Cobain (Sun, Mercury,
and Venus in Pisces), Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, Cindy Crawford,
Billy Crystal (Sun, Mercury, and Mars in Pisces), Albert Einstein,
George Harrison, Kato Kaelin (Sun and Moon in Pisces), Jennifer Love
Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Michelangelo, Aidan Quinn (Sun and Moon
in Pisces), Rob Reiner (Sun, Mercury, and Mars in Pisces), Dr. Seuss,
Sharon Stone, Elizabeth Taylor (Sun, Mercury, and Mars in Pisces),
Bruce Willis.
Moon in Pisces
The Moon is in the 9th sign from
its own domicile (Cancer) here. Because the 9th often has to do with
travel and exile and the Moon is, by contrast, about belonging, there
is an underlying tension created here. As a result, they often long
for a place to put down roots, but at the same time feel like they
can't stay too long in any one place. Because of the bicorporal nature
of this sign, the Moon (feelings and emotions) lacks stability, which
creates moodiness in the native. The 9th gives the Moon an ability
to see the moods of others. Sometimes this becomes overwhelming and
they occasionally have to shut the world out in order to regain equilibrium.
A few have a very highly developed psychic sensitivity (like Edgar
Cayce). Because of this extreme sensitivity, their feelings can be
easily hurt. Because Jupiter is lord of the Moon, this placement is
about finding the proper perspective from which to explore their emotions.
In a diurnal chart, The heat and
dryness help to moderate the excessively wet and cold nature of the
Moon. This should help to minimize the instability of the emotions
to some extent and provide some limit to their sensitivity to others,
which would otherwise prove more overwhelming.
In a nocturnal chart, the cold and
wet nature of the Moon is amplified. Sensitivity is unrestrained as
are mood swings. They may be so sensitive that they shy away from
too much involvement with others or they may lack a sense of proper
boundaries and get involved in co-dependent relationships.
Lunar Pisceans are known to be dreamy
and not always in touch with reality. However, though these people
may not always show real-world savvy in day-to-day, practical affairs,
they make up for this with remarkable intuition. They can put themselves
in anybody's shoes with extreme ease. On the plus side, this endows
them with remarkable compassion and love. The down side with this
apparent ability to break down boundaries is that these people can
easily lose themselves in the suffering of others.
Their sense of humor is delightfully
silly and a bit odd. These are perceptive souls who seem to be in
touch with all the nuances and subtleties of human nature. Often this
comes through in a strong sense of humor that is more of the receptive
kind than the type of sense of humor that would make people the "life
of the party". It's generally pretty easy to get them giggling.
Moon in Pisces people may get tagged
as spaced out, but there's a lot more to them than meets the eye.
They feel things out, and rely on their intuition. It just doesn't
feel right for them to do otherwise. Their dreaminess can mean plenty
of moments of absent-mindedness. These times of oblivion can land
them in all sorts of predicaments with others who can too easily misunderstand
these complex souls. Without plenty of space and time to daydream,
Pisces Moons easily get overloaded with life.
Generally considered soft-hearted
and sweet, Lunar Pisceans care about others and are easily touched
by human suffering. This tendency gains them the reputation as suckers
for sob stories. Although this may sometimes be true, many Lunar Pisceans
learn, in their lifetimes, how to discern between sincerity and manipulation.
Still, they definitely do have plenty of soft corners.
In personal relationships, Lunar
Pisceans are giving and yielding. They are generally open on a sexual
level, in a quiet way. Their fantasies can be far-reaching, intricate,
and rich with emotion. Love is closely tied in with their sexuality.
Most Lunar Pisceans are shy; they need a trustworthy lover to bring
them out.
There's a delightful accepting side
to Moon in Pisces that is sometimes mistaken for weakness.. Since
the Moon represents our instinctive nature, Moon in Pisces seems to
know how things feel without actual experience. For example, they
may have never had sex, but seem to know all about it -- even, or
especially, the subtleties of it. The ones that aren't too shy make
awesome actors and actresses. This ability to empathize even in the
absence of experience gives them an open mind and heart. Most long
to express this through writing, music (both listening and making),
poetry, and art -- in fact, the happiest people with this position
do just that.
Though some are doormats, most Pisces
Moon people instinctively know when they're due for a much-needed
recharge. It's at these times that they retreat from the world (and
its harsh realities) if only to gather strength to face everything
and everyone again. Solitude is important to them, but they also need
people, so their retreats will usually be short-lived. Pisces Moon
individuals believe; and, let's face it; the world needs Piscean leaps
of faith.
Some Famous people with Moon in Pisces:
Kirstie Alley, Gillian Anderson, Michael Bolton, Robert Browning,
Hillary Clinton, Carson Daly, Robert DeNiro, Morgan Freeman, Sarah
Michelle Gellar (Moon and Mars in Pisces), Rita Hayworth, Lauren Holly,
Michael Jackson, Martin Luther King, Kevin Kline, Ricky Martin (Moon
and Mars in Pisces), Michelangelo, Moby, Moliere (Moon, Venus, and
Mars in Pisces), Bill Moyers, Robert Plant, Edgar Allen Poe, Elvis
Presley, Jason Priestly, Prince, Judge Reinhold, Gene Rodenberry,
Winona Ryder, Charles Schulz, Martin Scorcese, Jerry Seinfeld, Monica
Seles, Alicia Silverstone, Ben Stiller, Debra Winger, Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Stars
Pisces contains few bright stars,
and only one important object, the face on spiral galaxy M74. However,
even though somewhat indistinct, this constellation can be easily
made out with a bit of practice, as it is located to the south west
of Andromeda and directly below the Great Square of Pegasus.
Despite its fame, its size, and its
prominence as a zodiacal constellation, the stars of Pisces are largely
disappointing. Alpha Piscium is a star otherwise known as Alrisha,
'the Cord', which represents the point where the two fishes' cords
meet.
Alrisha is the not the brightest
of Pisces' stars, though: that honor goes to Gamma Piscium, which
lies in the westward 'fish'. This is an irregular hexagon of stars
which, though dim, are recognizable by their characteristic shape.
The northern fish is much less well defined, being a faint straggle
of stars in the direction of Andromeda.
he constellation of "the fishes,"
Pisces is a group of faint stars representing two fish linked by a
V-shaped chain. The group fits around the southwest corner of the
constellation Pegasus. Although Pisces is regarded as the twelfth
constellation of the zodiac, precession has brought the vernal equinox
from Aries into Pisces, so that technically it is the first constellation.
The Sun enters the sign of Pisces on February 21 and enters the constellation
itself on March 11.
Mercury in Pisces
According to medieval astrologers,
Mercury is both in detriment and fall in this sign, while according
to Hellenistic astrologers Mercury is only in fall here. The medieval
opinion means that Mercury is in an "enemy camp" and therefore
is not supported in acting like its self. The fall means that mercurial
issues have little merit before the cosmic court. This is one of the
reasons Pisceans are thought to be so confused. What this means on
an individual level is that their intellect often does not function
in a straight foreword logical or analytical manner and may be chaotic
at times. They may tend to misplace or lose objects and other people
may find their motives perplexing. However, their intuition is stronger
than most and often they can't explain why they know something, just
that they know it. Their hunches often prove correct, but their everyday
planning and reasoning is chaotic by most other people’s standards.
They are often seen as being disorganized. It is probably best if
they avoid fields that involve accounting or close attention to detail.
However, this is a good position for those interested in psychology
or human services, because of their ability to empathize and relate
to others on a feeling level.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness help to moderate the cold and wet effects of this place. This
individual is better at analysis, record keeping and attention to
detail than their nocturnal counterparts. However, intuition may be
a little weaker.
In a nocturnal chart, the cold and
wet qualities of night are unrestrained. This means that the native
functions by metaphorical logic or holistic reasoning and tends to
be less analytical. Intuition is very strong and they may be psychically
sensitive.
Mercury in Pisces are gentle communicators
with a soft touch that is pleasing and warm. Some of them come across
in an almost poetic way. Not given to bother too much with details,
these individuals tend to sponge up the feelings and moods of their
environment. The information they extract from their surroundings
can be unusual and certainly unique. For some, it is heavily skewed
in the direction of emotion and feeling.
They're generally lovely listeners
and, when they get them talking, warm conversationalists. When it
comes to communicating, they're moody, and this extends to their letters
and emails too. It's a kind of odd thing -- they never know when they'll
be in a quiet mood or a yakking state. These individuals don't compete
for air time, but they can talk up a storm when they're in the right
frame of mind. Mercury in Pisces is tactful because they don't want
to offend others in any way. They feel out their audience and sometimes
search for what they think others want to hear. .
These people come across as dreamy
and indirect. It can be hard to pin them down to any one belief or
decision. It's not that they want to drive others crazy or anything
-- it's just that Mercury in Pisces takes in so much information from
the world and their open-mindedness prevents them from taking a stance
for too long. They have an unusual aversion to cold facts and hard
decisions. Driven more by intuition than facts, these people avoid
list-making and the like. Others might think them disorganized but
they have an uncanny knack of finding things nonetheless.
Mercury in Pisces people are often
vague and indirect in their communications with others. If they learn
to express themselves with more clarity, they'll find that a lot of
the problems they can encounter with misunderstandings will lessen.
Their impressionable nature can make them an easy target at times.
Their plans may seem too dreamy and unrealistic to more practical
sorts, lacking the details that make them seem more attainable. But
Mercury in Pisces' vision is extraordinary, and their leaps of faith
are admirable.
Some Famous People with Mercury in
Pisces: Michael Bolton, Billy Crystal (Sun, Mercury, and Mars in Pisces),
Elton John (Mercury and Mars in Pisces), Chaka Kahn, Lucy Lawless,
Rob Reiner, Sharon Stone, Elizabeth Taylor, Justin Timberlake, John
Travolta.
Venus in Pisces
Venus in Pisces people project themselves
as dreamy, soft-hearted partners. Everything about the way they flirt
promises a lovely time. Theirs is an elusive charm -- they are sweetly
playful, a little moody, and perhaps a little irregular. They appreciate
romance and poetry, and they prefer to "feel out" both for
them and the relationship they share, so don't expect too much planning
ahead. Their sensitivity can be a little misleading at times. Yes,
they are sensitive folk, but lovers may find it maddening that this
sensitivity is not only directed at them, but towards all of mankind.
Venus is in her exaltation while
in this sign. This means that issues like love, relationships, compassion,
beauty and art have greater merit before the cosmic court. These natives
are often fortunate in matters of love and romance. They are artistically
inclined with a gift for music and poetry. They are very sympathetic,
sensitive, intuitive and understanding of others and have little difficulty
in forgiving transgressions. They are attracted to beautiful surroundings
and are often the object of affection of many. If they are not involved
romantically with anyone, they may feel more lonely than most, as
these individuals are not used to going it alone. Socially, they are
very popular and sometimes they may have trouble in limiting the crowd
and retaining their privacy. If this place is the 11th sign from the
lot of fortune, they are exceedingly lucky in love and it is also
extremely beneficial financially. Since this is a prolific sign, if
the lot of children falls here or this sign is the 4th, 5th, 10th
or 11th sign from the ascendant, then it is indicative of having many
children and being blessed by them.
Venus in Pisces men and women want
others to know that their love is unconditional. They are unimpressed
by status and love and accept them for all that they are inside. They
love the underdog and are attracted to wayward folks, or those in
need of a little help. With their romantic view of the world, they
can be unreasonably attracted to states of suffering and martyrdom,
so they easily get into the role of saving someone, or being saved.
Unlike Venus in Libra, which thrives on equality, Venus in Pisces
is actually turned on by inequality! They can be rather confusing
and hard to pin down as they feel their way through their relationships.
As much as they may want to, they find it hard to commit. Many do
end up committing, however, at least on the surface.
Pleasing Venus in Pisces involves
enjoying tender moments and romantic times with them. humans can get.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day work against the cool and moist nature of Venus.
There is moderation to their sensitivity and compassion. While they
are more outgoing socially, they are also more likely to keep some
individuals at arms length. Love may have a slightly less romantic
quality.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moist of night amplify these same qualities in Venus. These individuals
are exceedingly sensitive, intuitive, romantic and artistic. They
are less socially outgoing, but usually have no trouble attracting
romantic partners. If afflicted, they may have more trouble keeping
undesirable people out of their life than most.
Some Famous People with Venus in
Pisces: Drew Barrymore (Sun and Venus in Pisces), Nick Carter, George
Harrison, Lucy Lawless, Moliere (Moon, Venus, and Mars in Pisces),
Michelle Pfeiffer (both Venus and Mars in Pisces), Tom Selleck, John
Travolta, Vincent Van Gogh (Venus and Mars in Pisces).
Mars in Pisces
Mild-tempered and gentle, these guys
and gals move through life in a manner that can hardly be considered
direct. Mars is the planet of action and assertion, and Pisces is
a passive sign that rarely asserts itself in a direct fashion. So
the placement of Mars in Pisces is an unusual combination. Sometimes
prone to feelings of guilt about their anger, and difficulties with
asserting themselves, Mars in Pisces individuals seem to "go
with the flow". This is certainly not a very active position
for Mars, and natives will often let life "happen" instead
of trying to control their life direction. This is a charming position,
as individuals with Mars in Pisces don't appear like they are capable
of harming a fly. However, those that don't find creative expression
for this energy can stir up a storm through indirect aggression.
Mars is in aversion to its Aries
domicile here being in the 12th sign from it. This has the effect
of inhibiting spontaneous action and forthrightness of motivation.
There is the hint that agnoia is present (because Saturn's joy is
in the 12th) with regard to motivations meaning that the native may
not be very aware of what drives him/her. Because the 12th represents
the unconscious, and Mars is full of energy, they are often restless
and find it hard to release their energy directly. This often leads
to indecision where there are two or more opposing viewpoints. Some
may dislike competition. However, if they are consciously aware of
their intentions, they can be quite adept at hiding their motivations
from others. Despite the restlessness associated with this energy,
they are often careful of how they express it because it is also the
5th sign from its other domicile, Scorpio. This is a fairly good position
for those involved in covert operations like spying or for investigators
of crime or the paranormal. They may be talented in more fluid martial
arts styles like Tai Chi. According to Ptolemy, Mars is in its own
trigon for both day and night while in this sign and is therefore
essentially dignified.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day make it more difficult for the impulses of Mars
to be contained. This should theoretically increase the restlessness
or carelessness of the natives actions indicating a lack of forethought
and motivational awareness. There may be a tendency to overreact to
emotional stimuli.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moist of night help mitigate the impulses of Mars. This is better
for decision-making processes and self-control. Restlessness should
be less of a problem theoretically. Physically they may be more coordinated
favoring fluid, graceful movements, but with afflictions they may
become lethargic.
Mars in Pisces people are not averse
to playing games to get what they want, although even they don't always
know exactly what they do want! Their desires are changeable and moody,
and it's hard to really know where these natives stand on any particular
issue. Alternatively, some Mars in Pisces people do take a stand on
issues that are Piscean in nature, making compassion and love their
mission.
Energy levels fluctuate a lot, coming
in bursts of activity followed by inertia. Because it can be difficult
to align this ebbing and flowing of energy in the day-to-day world
as it is, finding a job that supports this may be tough. The happiest
Mars in Pisces individuals are those that have a creative outlet that
allow them to express their desires of the moment, their compassion
-- and even their anger -- freely and imaginatively. An example of
Mars in Pisces is Bono, lead singer of U2, who seems to have found
the perfect outlet for his creativity through his music, and as a
spokesperson for love and compassion.
Some Famous People with Mars in Pisces:
Dido Armstrong, Bono, Billy Crystal (Sun, Mercury, and Mars in Pisces),
Sarah Michelle Gellar (Moon and Mars in Pisces), Tom Hanks, Elton
John (Mercury and Mars in Pisces), Annie Lennox, Rob Lowe, Ricky Martin
(Moon and Mars in Pisces), Moliere (Moon, Venus, and Mars in Pisces),
Marilyn Monroe, Rob Reiner, John Steinbeck, Elizabeth Taylor, Vincent
Van Gogh (Venus and Mars in Pisces).
Jupiter in Pisces
Jupiter is in his own domicile here
and is therefore essentially dignified by house. This means that Jupiter
can speak on its own behalf for the native concerning things like
faith, justice, benevolence, etc - These individuals tend to be easy-going
and laid back. They are very sympathetic to those less fortunate than
themselves and often desire to help. They are generally very fortunate
themselves so they can end up trying to help a lot of people and stretch
themselves too thin. They tend to have great faith in the goodness
of human nature and may turn a blind eye to the underbelly of the
world. This can be their undoing because they can be easily taken
advantage of. Their friendliness and love of animals makes them very
popular and they would make good veterinarians. Because this place
is watery, they may need to watch their weight, especially if Sagittarius
or Pisces rises.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day help to dry up some of the wetness of this place.
They usually have a more realistic view of the character of those
around them. They are not as easily moved to acts of compassion as
their nocturnal counterparts, but seek to help fairly. Theoretically,
weight gain should be less of a problem.
In a nocturnal chart, the cool and
moist of night add the wetness of this place showing that there is
lack of distinction for which this individual is sympathetic to. They
are more easily swayed by emotion and appeals to charity and can be
more easily taken advantage of as a result. Theoretically the coldness
slows the metabolism making weight gain more of an issue.
Saturn in Pisces
Here the principle of agnoia often
causes the native to forget that they are a part of the human family.
This represents the test of compassion of which the ultimate example
is whether they will lay down their own life for their fellow man.
In most nativities, this extreme is never reached, but frequently
they are somehow put into situations that obligate them to take care
of those less fortunate at a sacrifice to their own well being. On
another level, these individuals often have a hard time maintaining
structure and routine. Their lives may stagnate to the point that
they may be tempted to withdraw and live the life of a hermit. It
can also represent a test of faith because Saturn essentially says
that there is nothing beyond itself and what is physically real, or
in the words of Descartes, that there is nothing real but extension.
However, Pisces hints at what is beyond because it is the last of
the signs and signifies reintegration into the collective. In contrast
to the easy going nature of Jupiter here, this individual tends to
take life too seriously and lacks a sense of humor. They may tend
to suffer from depression and indulge themselves in self-pity. They
may be allergic to pets.
In a diurnal chart, the heat of the
day helps to minimize the coldness of Saturn and the dryness helps
to make distinct their obligations to those less fortunate. This is
a good position for those who would work in mental institutions or
hospitals and allows the setting of limits as to how much personal
sacrifice the native will have to endure.
In a nocturnal chart, the cold and
wet of night intensify the coldness of Saturn. The distinctions are
less clear in their obligations to those less fortunate than their
self and at times it seems like there is no end to it. Some react
to this by refusing to be of any help. Depression and doubt may be
a frequent problem if there are no mitigating factors.
Uranus in Pisces
Uranus was last in this sign between
1919 and 1927 and will be there again between 2003 and 2011. The changeable
nature of Uranus agrees well with the mutable/bicorporal quality of
this place, but the extreme dryness of Uranus does not agree well
with the cold and wet nature of Pisces. This has the effect of slowing
down transitions, submerging rebellions into the underground and creating
passive resistance. it was during this time that Gandhi first led
his passive resistance movement to free India from the British. It
is also interesting that during this time prohibition became law in
the USA (Pisces = alcohol), but was widely ignored and resisted covertly.
There will likely be many more surprising discoveries in oceanography.
Remote vacation spots may become more popular. Technology will become
more common place in third world nations. Those of this generation
born with Uranus in high focus here may follow the example of Gandhi
as a leader in passive or underground resistance to authority. They
will have to find a balance between personal freedom, and personal
sacrifice.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day strengthen Uranus's hot and dry nature. These individuals
will tend to value personal freedom over sacrifice. They are likely
to be more rebellious as a result, but in a subtle, more passive way.
In a nocturnal chart, the cold and
moist of night counteract the hot and dry nature of Uranus. As a result,
these individuals are less likely to value personal freedom or are
more willing to sacrifice it for the greater good. In some cases it
may be that they lack the spirit to fight for freedom even though
they value it.
Neptune in Pisces
Neptune was last in Pisces between
1847 and 1861 and will re-enter Pisces in 2012. Neptune blends in
very well here and some consider it to be dignified by being in its
own sign. During this time, slavery was coming to an end and many
slaves were escaping to freedom through the Underground Railroad.
A new form of art called impressionism became popular through the
works of Monet and Cezanne and many people chased their dreams of
wealth during the gold rush. In general, those born during this time
will have high philosophical and moral ideals. It is not usually profound
in a physical sense but very much so in a spiritual sense.
They can be very idealistic and if
Neptune is brought into high focus while in this sign then these natives
will be inspired. However, without some grounding in earth, they will
tend not to be very practical and may find it hard to make the vision
a reality. This combination is indicative of spiritual and philosophical
breakthroughs such as existentialism. It is interesting that the next
transit of Neptune here will coincide with the end of the Mayan calendar.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness of the day counteract the cold and wet nature of Neptune.
This may cause it to be less of an issue in the chart by taking away
Neptune's propensity for inspiration, but while functioning under
the principle of limitation, the native may find that they are more
able to make practical use of Neptune's energy.
In a nocturnal chart, the cold and
wet of night amplify these same qualities in Neptune. Theoretically,
this should create greater spiritual insights, but with the principle
of limitlessness in operation, the native may find it more difficult
to find support for a firm foundation for their insights.
Pluto in Pisces
Pluto was last in Pisces between
1798 and 1823 and will re-enter in 2043. Pluto often has to do lessons
related to power, death and renewal of life and when Pluto is here,
these lessons are idealized. In the early 1800's Napoleon followed
his dream of building a new Roman Empire. In a sense this was a time
of reliving the glory days of the past. Historians have since referred
to this as the romantic period. It is interesting that Pluto was in
the 5th place from its own sign while in Pisces and that the 5th has
to do with romance, but because this is a transpersonal planet, the
"romance" was made impersonal. Individuals with Pluto in
close aspect or conjunction to inner planets here will be very charismatic
and powerful in their expression.
Astrology
Pisces is an astrological sign, which
is associated with the constellation Pisces. Under the tropical zodiac,
Pisces is occupied by the Sun from February 21 to March 20, and under
the sidereal zodiac, it is currently from March 15 to April 13. The
opposite sign to Pisces is Virgo.
The sun: In Pisces - Pearl merchant,
peaceful, wealthy, uneventful, religious, prodigal, loved by women.
In astrology, the Sun stands for
their inner nature, the true mark of their character. The twelfth
sign of the Zodiac, Pisces is ruled by fortunate Jupiter and new age
Neptune. A mutable (changeable and communicative) sign, dreamy Pisces
is the exaltation of Venus, the goddess of love and artistic sensibility.
It is a water sign, so Piscean people are creative, sensitive and
deeper than they appear on the surface, although they can be emotionally
vulnerable, clinging and rather melancholic.
Pisces contains that point in the
sky occupied by the Sun during Vernal Equinox, the day on which the
hours of daylight and night are equal, which falls about March 20.
So Pisces claims the number one position of importance among the twelve
constellations of the Zodiac
The light of the Sun, ruler of our
inner nature, is somewhat dimmed in Pisces, the home of Jupiter (lord
of the gods) and his elusive brother Neptune (the king of the sea).
Jupiter gives them a thirst for knowledge and understanding, with
a natural lucky streak. Neptune brings out their sensitive and spiritual
qualities, but it can also lay them open to deception and intrigue
(that is if it's not they who is doing the deceiving!). They have
probably noticed that Neptune can stimulate a thirst of a quite different
variety -- a thirst for liquor, drugs and addictive substances in
general (including the addictions of love -). Both of these great
planets influence their personality.
Pisces is the twelfth and last sign
of the Zodiac and associated with human emotions. Individuals born
under this sign are thought to have a dreamy, romantic, generous,
emotional, receptive, affectionate and honest character but one which
is also prone to exaggeration, fickleness, passiveness, hypersensitivity
and paranoia.
Mythology
The constellation of Pisces appears
as a fish swimming in the waters that pour from Aquarius. In Babylonian
times, this star formation was associated with the gods Oannes and
Dagon. These were water deities in the form of fish. Also in this
constellation is the Leash, upon which were tied the two fish goddesses,
Anunitum and Simmah.
In Greek mythology, Pisces is associated
with the great beast Typhon. This fearsome creature belonged to the
earlier age of the Titans, and was a terrifying force even for the
greatest of the gods.
At one time Typhon attacked Mount
Olympus, the abode of the gods. To escape from his wrath, each deity
took the form of an animal. Zeus himself, shifted into the likeness
of a ram. Aphrodite, and her son Eros, escaped the beast by transforming
into a pair of fish and swam away into the Euphrates River. The goddess
Minerva placed the image of the fishes in the heavens so that the
event would not be forgotten.
The constellation resembles two roundish
objects, each of which is tied to the same point by a long length
of string. Generally the objects have been considered as fish, although
since by including fainter stars visible to the naked eye, the strings
themselves take on the appearance of stick-figure bodies (with the
roundish objects thus becoming heads). Some forms of early Greek mythology
viewed it as men bound to a point. It is generally thought that in
earlier depictions, only the constellation Piscis Austrinus was considered
to be a fish.
According to one version in Greek
mythology, this constellation represents fish into which Aphrodite
and her son Eros transformed in order to escape the monstrous Typhon.
The two fishes are often depicted tied together with a cord (or their
tails), to make sure they do not lose one another.
According to another version, since
the binding point is below the ecliptic, and thus considered to represent
being in the underworld, and that one of the figures (the one on the
left) appears to escape, but the other (on the right) seems to head
back toward the ecliptic, then, together with Cetus (another constellation
in the Zodiac sign of Pisces), this may have formed the basis of the
myth of the capture of Cerberus, one of The Twelve Labors of Heracles.
According to Greek myth, there was a monstrous god named Typhon, who
was determined to overthrow Zeus and his entire group of gods.
So terrifying and powerful was the evil god that he caused the immortal
followers of Zeus to flee into Egypt in exile. Zeus alone remained
behind to do battle and eventually conquer Typhon. One day Aphrodite
and her son Eros were walking along a riverbank when they sensed the
presence of the monstrous god Typhon. Quickly they plunged into
the river where they took the form of fishes and escaped. To
this day they are known as the Northern Fish and the Western Fish
of Pisces.
Pisces was known by the Babylonians as Nunu, by the Persians as Mahik,
and the Turks as Balik, all meaning "Fish".
The Arabs also knew Pisces as Al Samakatain, or "the Two Fishes".
The Syrians regarded fish as holy animals and so refused to eat them.
The Chinese called Pisces at various times the Dark Warrior, the Northern
Emperor, and the Pig. But after missionaries were established
in that country the constellation became known popularly as the Two
Fishes.
A German story illustrates the wealth-giving power of fishes and points
out a moral for greedy humans. This story describes how Antenteh and
his wife lived in very poor circumstances in a cabin by the sea. Their
only possessions were a crude cabin and a tub. They had filled the
tub with down and feathers from swans and geese so that they might,
at least, have a place to sit and rest. One day Antenteh caught a
fish, which pulled and tugged so vehemently at the net that he decided
to let the fish go back to the sea again. To the amazement of Antenteh,
the fish started to speak to him.
The fish told Antenteh that he was
an enchanted prince and, in return for his release, Antenteh could
ask for anything he desired. But Antenteh was a simple soul and felt
so honoured at having rescued a person of such nobility that he would
not accept anything. However, when his wife heard the story, she became
extremely angry with him for letting such an opportunity pass. She
nagged Antenteh until he went back to the shore, where he called for
the fish, who instantly came swimming towards him. Rather embarrassed,
Antenteh told the fish of his wife's wish for a house with furniture
in it. The fish told him to leave everything to him and to return
to his cabin. Antenteh did so where, instead of his cabin, he found
a splendid house.
If Antenteh's wife had not been so
greedy, all might have ended well, but after a while she wanted more.
She wished to be a queen and have a palace. Her wish was granted.
Still not satisfied, she demanded to become a goddess. And that was
the end of it all. The fish was furious at the insatiable desires
of this woman. With one flip of his mighty tail he made everything
Antenteh had been given disappear, and in its place there stood again
the tub with feathers in the little cabin by the sea. A warning for
those who have plenty, not to dare the gods and be too greedy!
Their sign's element is Water. Pisces
is ruled by the planet Neptune
Characteristics
Pisceans are gentle, patient and
malleable, and treat others with generosity. Those of the horoscope
Pisces are traditionally emotional, rather than rational and practical,
and Pisceans dislike confinement. Pisceans are also imaginative and
whimsical, and can be a bit vague at times!
They believe that every one should
help each other. They are talented in music or Fine arts. Their intuitive
nature helps them solve others problems. They face life with philosophical
calmness. They are broadminded, good natured and peace loving.
Pisces is ruled by the Planets Jupiter and Neptune. The pairing of
these two heavenly bodies results in some unique energies being directed
toward Pisceans here on Earth. Those born under this Sign are spiritually
oriented and charitable. They are compassionate, easily feeling another's
pain. At times, however, Pisceans can have difficulty distinguishing
fact from fantasy: they tend to get caught up in their dreams and
views of how things should be. Pisceans who fear that their pleas
aren't being heard tend to lapse into melancholy and, worse, the kind
of pessimism, which leads to procrastination and lethargy. At times
like this, Pisceans are well served to take some time for themselves.
Many Pisceans also immerse themselves in the arts and other creative
pursuits as a centering mechanism, and they are quite talented in
these areas.
The Element associated with Pisces
is Water. Those born under this Sign easily relate to the emotional
and unpredictable nature of this liquid gold. Pisceans feel a great
deal, and they also feel misunderstood much of the time. They're not
quite pushovers, but they're certainly sensitive. Yes, they could
cry them a river if the circumstances were right. Even so, they revel
in their compassionate and imaginative natures and love to cater to
others. They can also be quite romantic, dreaming up delicious treats
for their lover. Pisceans are generally gentle, easy-going folk, who
are on the shy and reticent side. They are modest to the point of
impracticality, often stepping up only to show their talents in painting
or music. Easiest for the Fish is living in their lush dream world.
Pisces Greatest Strength: Their compassion
for those in need.
Pisces Possible Weakness: Confusion
can put they at a disadvantage.
General Character
Being the 12th sign of the Zodiac,
Pisces is considered by far the most evolved of all the signs and
represents the highest stage in the evolution of the human soul. It's
at this point that the soul is able to transcend the ego fully and
to fulfill its true purpose, which is selflessness, true Universal
love and cosmic awareness.
The sign of Pisces, being represented
by the fish swimming in different directions, adequately describes
the inner ambivalence of their nature. They are not an easy person
to understand and though their compassion and desire to care for others
is notable, at times they shoot themselves in the foot and become
a victim of the very people they are trying to help. They must learn
the lessons of balance and discrimination in their choice of their
would-be recipients. Could it be that on many occasions the help they
extend to others simply results in strengthening their martyr complex?
Intuition which is strong in their
case, must necessarily be balanced with a pragmatic view of life and
a carefully executed plan in the real world. The strong psychic impressions
which so easily flow through them may disturb their practical life
and make inner fulfillment a difficult thing. If they can master these
subtle forces they will be of great benefit in areas of healing, medicine
and social welfare.
Two fish are associated with their
Zodiac Sign. They are generous, caring, and kind. However, they tend
to be more concerned about other people's problems than their own.
They are not a decisive person and may change their mind many times.
They are also a follower, but they do not always choose good leaders.
Because of their good qualities, they are popular with many types
of people, but when they are secretive they drive these friends away.
Weak concentration skills can get them into trouble at school.
Pisces belong to the watery sign
ruled by two planets Jupiter and Neptune. It is symbolized by two
fishes in the opposite direction. They have dual nature. They often
intend to do a thing but they end up doing the other. They are gifted
with wide visionary powers and they are capable of conceiving grand
schemes. When it comes to executing them they become timid and loose
confidence. They are very romantic, kind hearted and emotional. They
lack stability and will power. They need constant reminders and encouragement.
Their vacillating nature makes them take up projects and abandon it
later. Pisces are fond of comfort and quiet life. They find excuses
for shrinking away from duties. They are very fond of children and
animals. They are superstitious but if given a chance they turn out
to be good psychic investigators and psychiatrists.
Water sign ruled by Jupiter and Neptune.
Pisceans are subtle, patient, sweet and tolerant. However, they can
be also touchy and treacherous. Their typical features are a complex
character, a great fantasy and an extraordinary learning ability.
They are irresolute and they are not keen in organizing, so that they
prefer to be led by other people, both in private and in working life.
Typical jobs are: football player,
nurse, medium, mechanic and photographer. They have a strong religious
feeling and artistic sensibility. Being so reserved, it is not easy
to know and understand them thoroughly. Friendship and true and long-lasting
love are for Pisceans extremely important.

Imaginative, sensitive, feeling,

romantic and poetic, very caring, compassionate and reflective.
As a friend
They may seem to be wandering about
in their own little world sometimes, but Pisces is one of the most
caring friends they'll ever have. This Water Sign has emotions to
spare, so prepare themselves for long evenings of heart-to-heart talks.
This friend will truly want to know the real them, and they'll probably
be able to pick up on how they're feeling no matter what they tell
them. They're a great friend when they're in need. If nothing else,
they'll have an open ear for their troubles and a handy box of tissues
for their tears. Watch out, though. Pisces can be easily manipulated,
and their feelings can be hurt by the slightest misguided comment.
What they need is for they, as their friend, to reassure them and
help them past their insecurities. They will always be open with their
emotions, so the biggest favor they can do for them is to return that
trust by revealing then self. They'll never be bored with their creative
Pisces pal if they just keep an open mind and let them whisk them
away into their world for a while.
Pisces will go out of their way to
help a friend. They are extremely sensitive and loyal. They will take
a friend's problem and make it their own and suffer with them. This
is the weak spot of Pisces but any friend of this zodiac sign should
know that although they are attracted to people with severe problems
who desperately need help, this actually does more harm them good.
Even though Pisces will offer to make everything right, do not allow
them to take on all their problems because they will lose their identity
in their situation. They need a strong positive friend to make them
strong. Pisces like adventure, new situation and social events. A
Pisces friend will always have something exciting in mind and it is
a very fulfilling, long lasting friendship.
As a Women
Physical Appearance - Generally,
Piscean women are seen to be not very tall and plumpy The eyes are
quite big and protruding. Hands and feet are either strikingly beautiful
or else out proportioned, big and bulky. The shoulders are muscular
and spherical.
Mental Attitude - They are philosophical,
restless and honest. They can go beyond their means to help people
in need. Not perturbed easily, they can help even their opponents
calm down by their gentle behavior. Their nature is to forgive and
forget.
General Nature - Their mind is not
very steady. It often wanders from spiritualism to materialism. This
reduces their concentration thereby making it difficult to achieve
their full potential. A Piscean woman may also lack in self-confidence.
However that does not deter her from being an expert planner. They
will aim very high and can develop right connections to achieve their
aims. Generally, Pisceans develop good connections that they encase
at the right time.
They are either at the top of the
ladder or else at the bottom of it. Generally, Pisceans being too
ambitious either rise to very high positions or else turn into dreamers
and are unable to fight the battle of life. They will have a strong
wish to go to foreign lands and visit beautiful places.
Health - They may be drawn towards
excesses that means they may be eating and drinking in excess, making
them ill. They may suffer from varicose veins or guinea worms. Problems
connected with lever, ankles and feet are possible. They should take
care of them.
Money - Generous by nature and ever
helping their friends, they are unable to save much. Though due to
their mental capacity, which is far in excess of women of other signs,
they have a high income level. They will not like to depend on anyone
for finances and they are wiling to do even extra work to keep their
self financially secure.
Romance And Sex Life - Very romantic
by nature, they dream of romance. However they may feel somewhat frustrated
as the dreams seldom come true in actual life. They are very suspicious,
they will keep a tab on their lover and if they see him friendly with
another woman they feel the pinch.
They are loyal and once they form
a relationship, they continue it for a long time though sometimes
they may feel a sudden loss of interest in their partner. Many a time,
Piscean women can carry two or more relationships simultaneously.
Having a basically shy nature, they are not the one who will make
a move themselves in love life. They will expect their lover to make
all the moves and they will only react to them.
But, sometimes they can act completely
differently. With deception, they can easily control their men with
their superior brain and use them for their purposes. Any foreplay
involving water will turn they on, feet are their hot spots.
Marriage - They will dream of marrying
a Mr. Perfect and they will want him to have all the qualities possible
in a husband. But they will not be working hard to get him. Thus,
chances of delay in marriage or a marriage, which will not work, are
not ruled out. They will require a very diplomatic and well mannered
husband to stay on.
Piscean woman keeps good upkeep of
her house. Being fond of food and drinks they will stock them well
for guests also. For a stable married love life, they should
check their dreamy nature and live in practical world.
Caution: Having very high desires,
dreams and a changeable nature are their worst problems. They should
live in the practical world and be less utopian if they want to be
successful.
As a Baby
Seeming like a bit of a lost soul,
the Pisces baby will get emotional and start crying for no apparent
reason. It's part of this timid baby's personality, along with a tendency
to carry things inward and not push them out. Expect a whimper rather
than a shriek. Along these lines, the Pisces baby will pick up on
the family's vibe, sensing arguments and other familial disruptions,
and being profoundly affected by them. This fits in with this child's
very caring, almost selfless persona, a quality which manifests it
in things like giving away toys. For this reason, Mom and Dad need
to see to it that their Pisces tot doesn't get pushed around in the
play group.
Extra-sensitive by nature, this child
also benefits from an added dose of attention, whether it comes from
parents or sibs. With a wandering mind (this is the sign of the dreamer;
after all!), the Pisces baby will find it easy to get lost in thoughts,
almost blocking out the real world. Safe to say that this kid shouldn't
be entrusted with many details- they will simply forget them! That
dream state is one, which should be monitored at night, as the Pisces
baby will be greatly distressed by bad dreams.
To sum up, the Pisces baby
would rather give than receive, is dreamy by nature, and possesses
the fluidity attached to a Water sign. Let this sweet river flow!
Positive Qualities
Extreme sensitivity to the point
of being empathic. Compassionate, intuitive selfless or self-sacrificing
devotion, capable of unconditional love for others. Artistic, kind,
sympathetic, intuitive, visionary, mysterious, adaptive, psychic,
receptive.
Joie de vivre. Joy of life. They
are the most free-spirited sign of all, and the most aware of experiencing
all that life has to offer, right here right now. Those two fish in
their hieroglyph are the only truly happy symbols in the zodiac, and
so they too are naturally carefree and playful.
Their imagination is the most fertile
of all the zodiac signs as well. Others can rely on them to dazzle
them with their flights of fancy, either with words or visuals. There
are more poets in their sign than in any other. They're the artists
of the zodiac, and the list of famous Piscean creators proves it.
They also have an immense sense of
sympathy for others. If someone near them is in pain, they feel it
just as intensely. They simply have to lend their help and understanding
because their world is not right until they help cure it. For this,
they are prized as a friend.
As the twelfth sign of the zodiac,
they are considered to be on the highest spiritual plane, and so they
are naturally more intuitive than all other signs -- perhaps even
psychic. They're on a quest for spiritual peace -- in their mind it's
the ultimate calling of mankind, and they'll probably spend their
life trying to attain it. They certainly have the best chance of finding
it.
Negative Qualities
Can be a victim or a martyr. May
become blinded by illusion and confusion and can be too imaginative
for their own good. Impractical, vague, careless, spiteful, manipulative,
gullible, depressive, introverted, unworldly, weak-willed, indecisive,
easily led astray, greedy, immoral.
They are sensitive to a fault. The
slightest out-of-earshot whisper or behind-the-back rumor will floor
them. They're a water sign, but unlike the other two -- Cancer and
Scorpio -- they have no outer shell to protect them. So instead, they
swim away. Their defense is to hide, either shutting themselves off
in a room or, if that's not possible, withdrawing mentally into their
potent imagination. This is how they write most of their poetry, or
paint their most passionate pieces -- in a highly-charged, defensive
emotional state that's often triggered by an overheard comment or
casual criticism.
Their other defense mechanism is
to disappear. They have the uncanny ability to quietly metamorphosis
into the walls, becoming unapproachable and therefore reasonably invisible
to anyone else in the vicinity.
Both of these reactions, obviously,
are dangerously anti-social. If channeled creatively, they can be
quite therapeutic, but if not, they need a strong balancing force
-- either a mate or close friend with a strong foundation, or even
therapy.
This state can also lead to an over
abuse of drugs or alcohol. They don't have the constitution, either
physically or emotionally, to withstand their affects, and they become
addicted easily. They tend to resort to them much too quickly, and
the problem just worsens from there.
On a more practical level, they tend
to lack self-discipline. Some would say they're just plain lazy, but
it's more that they're not interested in mundane facts or routines.
They're so involved in their imaginative world that things like bills
and responsibilities are a lesser priority. Here again, they need
the balance of a mate who is business-minded and pragmatic.
Finally, they have a hard time making
up their mind about anything. They are a wonderful adapter, a chameleon
even -- if they're interested in someone who is passionate about,
say, gardening, they immediately will learn everything there is to
know about gardening, so they can enjoy it with them. Most of the
time, though, they'll find that interesting soon they'll lose interest
and something else will fascinate them. That's okay, as long as those
around them understand and appreciate their free-spirited playfulness.
Physical Qualities and Activities
They are not known for their size.
In fact, most Pisceans are quite frail and soft -- not necessarily
overweight, but just not muscular or firm in any sense.
As with their tendency towards alcohol
and drug abuse, they tend to rely on medicines a bit too much, because
their body does not have the constitution to fight oft annoying viruses
as well as it should. But they may find that more natural treatments
suit them better, and the holistic sciences in general satisfy their
desire to exist on a higher spiritual plane.
They are not an athlete, but they
love to move gracefully. Because Pisces is associated with the feet
and movement, many of the world's great ballet dancers -- Nijinsky
and Nureyev, for example -- are Pisceans. They also enjoy swimming,
because it's both a water activity and a graceful way to move.
Interestingly, they probably are
also fascinated by movies. Film and photography are very Piscean activities.
Emotionally, they are extremely sensitive, just like film. They pick
up everything, so this enables they to understand film -- and especially
film that moves -- deeply.
Pisces doesn’t play to win.
The needs of the team are going to come first for this sensitive Sign.
Team spirit is important to them, especially if they manage to make
connections through the team. Throwing them self into strenuous activity
is probably not their idea of a good time. Their fitness routine is
likely to be a laid back one; they may prefer fishing to flexing,
diving to dodge ball. Water is, of course, important to the fish,
so they would do well with water polo or sailing. Fun, interactive
games like football could also be high on their list. Watch out for
their feet; they should be careful not to stub their toes or break
any of the other tiny bones found there.
Physical appearance
The Pisces native is short, stout,
innocent looking, virtuous and lucky. They are famous and heads an
organization or society. They studies very hard but without concentration
on syllabus - thus they are not a high scorer. They has an ability
to make tough tasks look simple. They tends to help friends and serve
society physically but without spending money. They tends work overtime
to finish the work same day. By virtue of his intellect and helping
nature, they becomes favorite of family members and outsiders. They
just cannot work under any one and leave their service very soon for
own business. They tends to lose temper beyond control but calms down
very quickly. They are prone to cheating by partners and should better
work alone. They are likely to break first marital relation - matured
or otherwise, be unhappy with wife but happy with progeny.
Beauty - As a Pisces, they spend
much time staring off into space, daydreaming of love and happiness.
It’s not necessarily all lace and butterflies, though, Pisces
(though they probably had a hard time resisting those fluttery butterfly
hairclips, right?). There’s more to this moony and Mutable Water
Sign than daydreams.
Just because they’re so flexible
and chameleon-like, so fluid and wistful, does not mean they’re
wishy-washy – leave that to Libra! Within each Pisces, there
lies a resolute optimism, a nearly psychic intuition and a fertile
imagination that allows them to appreciate the mysteries of life.
When it comes to physical beauty,
they are unconventional, a risk-taker motivated by subconscious visions
and ethereal longings. Not one to follow trends, they strike out on
their own in defense of their independent spirit. They loathe conformity,
but despite their rebellion, people can’t help but be attracted
to them!
Their beauty comes from their open
heart, their belief in the goodness of others, their sympathetic nature
and the way they never shy away from saying how they feel.
Personality
This is the mutable water sign. Piscean
energy is the most fluid and watery of all. People born under this
sign are sensitive, dreamy and mystical. Unlike the two other water
energies, Scorpio and Cancer, Pisces energy has no hard shell. The
Pisces emotions are pure and simple. These people go with the flow,
giving it an easiness, and oneness with nature. They prefer to follow
rather than lead. Piscean energy is unworldly, imaginative and mystical.
This idealistic, dreamy, kind and
impractical sign needs a lot of understanding. They have a fractured
personality, which has so many sides and so many moods that they probably
don't even understand themselves. Nobody is more kind, thoughtful
and caring but they have a tendency to drift away from people and
responsibilities. When the going gets rough, they get going!
Being creative, clever and resourceful,
these people can achieve a great deal and really reach the top but
few of them do. Some Pisceans have a self-destruct button, which they
press before reaching their goal. Others do achieve success and the
motivating force behind this essentially spiritual and mystical sign
is often money. Many Pisceans feel insecure, most suffer some experience
of poverty at some time in their early lives and they grow into adulthood
determined that they will never feel that kind of uncertainty again.
They are emotional, ultra-sensitive,
easy going, self sacrificing, sympathetic, understanding, and sociable.
Pisces is an excellent host or hostess. Pisces finds it hard to make
decisions because they see all sides to the question. Worry plagues
them. They are merciful, obliging, charitable, artistic, with a good
sense of color. Pisces will see only the good in others.
Pisceans are at home in any kind
of creative or caring career. Many can be found in teaching, nursing
and the arts. Some find life hard and are often unhappy; many have
to make tremendous sacrifices on behalf of others. This may be a pattern,
which repeats itself from childhood, where the message is that the
Piscean's needs always come last.
Romance
The Sign of the Fish rules the House
of the Unconscious, which says a lot about the world that Pisceans
live in. A dreamy state is very attractive to these people - one in
which they can hide some delicious secrets from their lover, only
to spring them upon them at the right moment. The Fish enjoys alternating
between conscious and unconscious states, the better to develop a
romance in their vivid minds. When it's back to earth, Pisceans are
selfless and intuitive - they love to serve their lover. Showering
a partner with exquisite fantasies and other sweet things becomes
a blissful state for both. The emotions of the Fish run deep and can
be rather erotic if their lover knows how to release them. Those born
under this Water Sign can flow like a river; they have a sensitive
and spiritual nature, which can be truly alluring.
They enjoy good relations with members
of the opposite sex. They also enjoy them. But they should play safe
when they are not sure. Relationships could be very volatile so it
is better to keep things under control. They tend to have too many
love affairs so they are advised to control themselves. Too much of
a good thing can be upsetting. Do not try to show off too much as
they can get turned off. Do not go beyond limits when it is not necessary.
Maintaining a balance is good for them
Whoever coined the term “dream
lover” must have been thinking of Pisces, for these folks often
have their head in the clouds, playing with this fantasy or that.
Truth be told, can there be a better place for romance? Once back
to Earth, the shy Fish will pursue affairs of the heart slowly, carefully
and prettily, their aesthetic sensibilities as finely tuned as any
sign of the Zodiac. The magical mystery tour of romance with Pisces
can be most unpredictable, with hearts and flowers one day and games
with veils the next. Either way, they will definitely serve their
lover, for this is something, which brings them great joy.
Love and Relation
As many variants, as fish in the
sea. Love horoscope Pisces sets a wide range of characters: from Don
Juan, a shark in the ocean of love, to a silently suffering victim
of passions.
A Pisces woman may also be different:
romantic, mystic, brutal or kind and faithful, who seems too good
to be real.
Pisces may adore their “divine creature” without opening
their heart and revealing their feelings. This imaginary love may
be an important part of their life. They may be head over heels in
love or not to love at all, this may be a paradise of a hell.
There is no more complicated heart
than that of Pisces. It is kind, enigmatic, broad and inscrutable
like the sea. It’s full of various impulses. Love comes secretly
and grows insensibly. it’s difficult to define when it began
and when ended. Pisces pretend to be indifferent but it means that
they want to hide their reserve. In fact, they are afraid to be tied
up for a long time. They are able to sustain platonic long-term relations
and pursuit towards an ideal image of their beloved, created in their
mind. But sometimes they prove to be extremely passionate, their sensuality
is strong and catching.
Unselfish submission defines love
for the Piscean, who gains more pleasure from giving than from receiving.
They often succumb to temptation, and float from one partner to another.
In this way, or by refusing any partners, they avoid become hooked
by deep emotional commitment. Those who refuse both these directions
and take a middle way are richly awarded.
These people can be stubborn, awkward,
selfish and quite nasty when a friendship or relationship goes sour.
This is because, despite their basically kind and gentle personality,
there is a side which needs to be in charge of any relationship. Pisceans
make extremely faithful partners as long as the romance doesn't evaporate
and their partners treat them well. Problems occur if they are mistreated
or rejected, if they become bored or restless of if their alcohol
intake climbs over the danger level. The Piscean lover is a sexual
fantasist, so in this sphere of life, anything can happen.
Very romantic and sensitive - they
love to be in a stable relationship, loyal in relationships up to
a point, but are capable of ending a relationship at an instant.
They are sensitive and soak up the
emotions around them and have to be careful to avoid negative situations.
Experience tells them how to look after themselves. Because they exist
on a high spiritual plane, finding a compatible mate can be challenging.
It is necessary, though, because their feelings are so deep and intense
that it would be unthinkable for them to exist without it. Not only
that, but the right mate can also provide the pragmatic strength and
common sense that they so desperately need to help organize their
life, since they spend all of their time creating and experiencing
the gamut of their emotions.
That ideal mate is their zodiacal
opposite, Virgo, as long as it's a Virgo who is expected to a more
sensitive degree -- i.e., one that understands their depth of feeling
and appreciates their creative world. In return, they get a devoted
care-giver, a smart, sensible bill-payer, and hopefully, one that
can inspire them to success with his or her ideals, as opposed to
tearing them down with harsh criticism. If they're selective, it will
work wonderfully. Their secondary partnerships are with their water-sign
relatives, Cancer and Scorpio. The former will understand their deep
emotional nature, and support they with his or her strength -- that
outer shell. The latter will attract them immediately, and vice-versa,
but has a strong chance of wandering off later.
Those signs not compatible with them
are Aries (too aggressive and harsh), Gemini (too prone to variety,
and not sympathetic to their needs), and Leo (although they are easily
led by him or her, they are also easily cast aside).
Male
They are sensitive and passionate,
however somewhat unstable. They are attracted to strong voluptuous
women. They can be extremely changeable, saying one thing to their
lover and then turning around and doing exactly the opposite. They
are very intuitive regarding acquaintances however quite blind to
the defects of those they love. They love to go first class and will
over extend them self in order to shower their mate with expensive
gifts.
Female
They are feminine, intuitive, responsive
and sensual. They are drawn to the creative or occult subjects. They
are empathetic to those who have problems, therefore they often get
used. They are a great one for fantasizing and in fact acting out
their desires. Their biggest problem is that they tend to pick the
wrong mate, resulting in the need to have extra marital affairs in
order to receive the affection necessary for their survival. They
are also prone to tears and extremely good at using emotional blackmail.
An ideal love partner
Pisces - Aries. Both are surprisingly
well suited to each other as one is dominant over the other. Aries
easily dominate over the Piscean as the latter likes someone to lead
on them. Aries are selfish, bold and impatient; on the other hand
Pisces are selfless, shy and secretive. Piscean's imagination and
intuition helps Aries to innovate new ideas and experiments. This
couple has to be tactful to communicate in other fields. Pisces are
too sensitive to criticism, and Aries is sometimes brusque and rough.
If they manage to overcome the existing differences, they will enjoy
a long-lasting stable relationship. The relationship leads to success
as Aries is attracted by Piscean's sensitive nature and Piscean feels
no obstruction to be in the second place.
Pisces - Taurus. There lies a sweet
and happy union between the two different signs. Taurus is patient,
loving, selfish and jealous while Pisces is sensitive, imaginative,
selfless and secretive. Passionate Taurus and sensual Pisces make
a good combination. Both are sensitive, but extremely sensitive Pisces
need special care and attention, which an abrupt materialist Taurus
is not always ready to provide. Much more sentimental and emotional,
Pisces will be hurt, if they are treated too commonly. If these problems
are overcome, it’ll be a wonderful couple. Pisces promises a
passionate romance and a satisfying marriage. The relationship works
well only when Pisces is not dominated by Taurus. Hardworking Taurus
set a good example for the lazy Pisces.
Pisces - Gemini. Behavior of these
two signs is completely opposite but they can make a good pair either
one is ready to change his behavior and make an adjustment. A strong
physical desire may arise, but Gemini is too changeable and Pisces
are too sensitive to be happy together for a long time. Gemini is
joyful, lively, communicative, cunning and versatile; Pisces is sensitive,
emotional, imaginative, selfless and secretive. Gemini lively nature
and intellect impress Pisces and in the same way Pisces selfless and
sympathetic attitude wins Gemini.Inattention of Gemini will irritate
Pisces. Both are too egoistic to make attempts to adjust to each other’s
behavior. They both need more strong and powerful partners. It is
a short and passionate relation and a quiet marriage.
Pisces - Cancer. A couple which when
binds together can make their dreams turn into reality. Cancer may
prove to be an exigent lover, but Pisces have nothing against it.
Both are sensitive, emotional, affectionate and deeply attached to
each other. Strong emotions can either make this relationship much
successful and caring or may destroy it. Both are romantic, cherish
home and friends and need to love and be loved. They make no secret
of their extreme sexuality and may spend a lot of time in the bedroom.
Cancer plays the leading role and takes the main responsible decisions.
Despite a number of quarrels, they generally meet emotional needs
of each other and are mutually concerned about feelings. This is a
splendid match.
Pisces - Leo. Fire and water
don’t mix. Fiery Leo and Watery Pisces Had an ability to learn
from each other. Lacking self-control Leo will be disappointed with
reserve of Pisces. No one understands the other side in full. Sentimental
Pisces will irritate Leo, and he will start looking for new adventures.
Pisces stay at home with uneasy thoughts, while Leo is strolling about
abroad. They are quite different from each other starting from their
personality to their behavior. Both believes in giving rather than
taking for themselves. Leo extrovert nature clashes with Piscean unworldly
attitude. Piscean sensitiveness often stand as a obstacle in the way
of active Leo. The relationship will be difficult and marriage won’t
bring satisfaction.
Pisces - Virgo. Virgo is opposite
sign of Pisces but both can complement each other. They see things
with different eyes, each will always be mystery to the other. Virgo
is motivated by reason, analysis, facts and logic. Pisces is guided
by feelings, emotions, intuition and that strange ability to sense
what is what. Virgo brings method to Pisces madness, romance, Imagination.
Pisces can add a touch of intangible magic to Virgo's life. Extremely
sensitive Pisces won’t be satisfied with a reserved Virgo. Virgo
turns down excessive sexual desire of Pisces, becomes too criticizing
and pedantic. There are also other problems. Practical logical Virgo
won’t put up with extravagant tastes of Pisces and their extreme
emotionality. Virgo plans everything, while Pisces act impulsively
and change their mind quickly. The relation will provoke many conflicts,
and marriage will be deprived of joy and happiness.
Pisces - Libra. Although Libra is
affectionate and of Pisces of a different nature, yet there can be
an affinity because both appreciates beauty, entertainment, arts,
harmony, love, affection, gentleness and the magic of romance. There
will be difficulties in some aspects of relationship for the exception
of physical side. However, even if they manage to overcome these problems,
ther
