Here we come to the last sign of the zodiac. It begins with Aries, stating proudly, "I Am!" It moves on in a circle, each sign representing a different part of life. Aries is the beginning, and Pisces is the end. Pisces is the most intuitive sign, for it takes all the knowledge and understanding gained throughout the voyage.
Pisces is death. Not dying physically, but the dealings with the cosmos and other worlds and other states of being. The Piscean nature is dreamy, whispy, and fish-like. The key word here is "slippery". They don't like to be pinned down to one thing.
In most astrology books, you will see the description of a Pisces (especially female Pisces) is caring, nurturing, and motherly. They can be like this because they understand people. The question is: do they *want* to be caring, nurturing, and motherly?
There are a lot of Pisceans that act the way they are described. But from my own experiences, Pisces really don't always act like this. I have many Piscean friends, and my mom is a Pisces. I know they can just as easily spit out a little "Pisces bur" as they can be kind. There little comments feel like getting slapped by a wet fish tail. This is because they know just where to come from. They're little comments are sarcastic and arrgh! So annoying!
They notice things other people wouldn't. They usually make interesting, truthful jokes and observations. I can always count on my mom to point out something about someone that I wouldn't have noticed or thought of otherwise.
But they have to remember not to get too pessimistic. Always knowing where someone's coming from could be handy, but it's very easy for them to develop a doubting nature.
Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the sea-god. These people are are usually peaceful, subtle creatures, and you can just imagine them as mermaids or mermen: gliding through the waves and letting the cool water wash over them. It's hard to keep a Pisces away from the ocean, or any kind of water, for long.
Pisces is a mutable water sign
Pisces rules the feet. A Piscean's feet will either be small and delicate, or wide with high arches. They're either excellent dancers, or will love dancing (especially ballet or ballroom. Anything light and floaty) but be terrible at it. They have to have their feet comfortable, at all times. They tend to be on the short side, and when they walk it's like they're swimming. Their hair is wavy and gentle. Though there are a number of brown-eyed Pisces, often their eyes will be sea-green. There's a lingering look to them, and after talking sometimes you will find them still looking at you, as if they can see right through your head to what you're thinking.
POSITIVE ASPECTS
Those born under the sign of Pisces are imaginative, sensitive, and compassionate. Their sensitivity and intuitiveness gives them the ability to pick up on the emotions and moods of others. The Piscean has a great understanding of what people are going through and wants to help others who are having difficulty. They are hurt easily, and are very conscious not to hurt others. Usually, the Piscean will have a creative or artistic ability, it can be of great assistance for them to find an outlet for their creativeness.
They are easily influenced by others because they don't want to hurt anyone. It is hard to make decisions and they need to overcome their desire to escape from anything that is difficult. Creative, spiritual and often mystical, at times they can be indolent and impractical. They may seem to lack self-confidence, but in their own quiet way they accomplish a great deal. Charming and likable, they are good to those in distress and are fond of animals.
They are aggressive, outspoken, enthusiastic and combative. They love to take chances and can be somewhat accident-prone. They may have a chip on their shoulder and come on too forcefully, making others angry. They are strongly physical and need a partner who can match you stride for stride. "Think before you speak" should be their motto.
They are very responsive to the depths of human experience, and have understanding and affection for all people. They are emotionally naive and continually overlook people's shortcomings and deficiencies.
They usually have musical, poetic and artistic talent. Depending on the aspects, this can be the worst or best position for the Moon. If favorable, it gives true vision; otherwise, it can cause total illusion or disillusion. They are quest, retiring, amiable and sympathetic to the underdog. They are gentle, at times easygoing, unworldly and dreamy.
They are charming, kind and popular; this aspect emphasizes the importance of beauty for their emotional contentment. They are creative, sensitive, tactful and naturally friendly; they love art, music and beauty. At times, they can be self-indulgent and too involved in luxury.
They are psychic and intuitive, and learn by absorption rather than by study. Their memory is retentive; mentality is reflective, romantic and poetic.
They are gentle, compassionate, helpful and tenderhearted. Very understanding of others, they can be quite spiritual. They are romantic and sensitive. They need love and tenderness, and without love they feel lost. Their intuition is highly developed, and they relate well to art, poetry, nature and animals. They are creative and can inspire creativity in others.
The Fish adores that person who can help complete them, again a yin to their yang. That person who can draw them out and gently bring them down to a safe place on Earth is a keeper. Pisceans also crave a comfort level, a certain sense of security which says "hey, you're okay" and helps them to relax and trust. If their lover can protect them from the harsh realities of life and keep them from retreating to the safety of a dream world, all the better. Loving creative play as they do, a partner who can feed Pisces' muse will insure a serendipitous journey for both.
The Pisces lover is caring and compassionate, a sensitive and intuitive soul who brings a starry-eyed quality to the real world. The mystical and magical Fish can make playtime a lifetime of fun with the right person. Anyone primed for adventures into the unknown will find it here!
Your feet and heart need special attention and care. Always wear well fitted shoes and get immediate care if any foot problems arise. Consider reflexology as a remedial approach. By reducing your intake of dairy products and white flour, you could cure your tendency to produce a lot of mucus and phlegm, and your heart will do better as well. Drugs and alcohol (including cigarettes and coffee, which are ruled by your sign) can be even more dangerous to your health if you're attempting to drown your fears, confusion, or sorrows in them. Pursue an artistic or creative hobby as an outlet and schedule regular retreats to shed accumulated vibrations you've absorbed from others. Visit beaches, bathing resorts and waterfalls, or indulge in other aquatic pleasures for healing therapy.
NEGATIVE ASPECTS
Since Pisces people are so sensitive, and in tune with other people's emotions, there is a tendency to escape using drugs or alcohol. That's why it's recommended they have a positive outlet for themselves. They may allow themselves to be used, not wanting to say no or hurt someone's feelings. The Piscean can be weak willed, and easily led.
They can be easily hurt, and tend to cry or feel sorry for his/herself at the drop of a hat. They don't like to face facts coldly and objectively, and their relationships will suffer because their feelings are so sensitive. At times they may lack humor and common sense, and can be like the proverbial Russian who loves to be sad. Their senses can deceive them because of their over-developed romanticism and optimism; they wear the original rose-colored glasses. Because they want to believe the best about everything, truth and reality upset them.
They change their mind often; thus can be undependable, easily discouraged and depressed.
They may keep their real thoughts under cover and only express with close friends or relatives. This shows a duality evincing contradictory qualities; combined with their receptivity to outside influences, it's no wonder that they are often accused of being moody and sensitive.
They get hurt easily. Harmonious surroundings are very important to them because they react more from the subconscious than from reason. They like to be well-informed and often have a great love for music or some sort of artistic talent. With difficult aspects, their sense of reality might be distorted and mind may vacillate; they may tend to wool-gathering or day-dreaming; they could be pessimistic, melancholy and confused. Too many difficult aspects can give them a morbid imagination, a persecution complex or other neuroses or phobias. They should guard against self-pity or personal resentment; concentrate on seeing and thinking clearly.
Their extreme sensitivity can leave them wide open to hurt. Knowing this, they often suffer in silence, or may become very reticent. Self-sacrificing, they are attracted to the underdog. With difficult aspects, they become too emotionally dependent on others, or you may force others to depend on them. They may be sentimental, hypersensitive, undiscriminating and unrealistic. Try to use their artistic talents in some positive, creative way.
Pisceans may have trouble distinguishing their own thoughts from the thoughts of others. This confusion can spur a headlong retreat from reality as Pisceans seek to escape the clamoring mental static. They may then become withdrawn, submissive, anxious, and disorganized.
