 PISCES
Descriptors: The Visionary, The Romantic, The Savior, The Mystic, The Healer,
The Dreamer, The Poet
Pisces have an acute sense of feeling and are sensitive, aware people. They are constantly receiving impressions from their outer environment, yet also acutely aware of their inner promptings as well. They often retreat into a private dream world to enjoy the musings of their powerful imaginations and sometimes to escape the harsher realities of life. They are dual personalities of two extremes. Can be tired, lethargic, and drifting; and at other times, efficient, precise, and hardworking. Psychically open to all the more subtle emotions, Pisces show generosity and compassion. They do not always have strong boundaries, and can dissolve themselves in other people’s needs. They must guard from losing their self-worth or becoming a martyr. They need lots of reassurance to boost their confidence, and can be quite stubborn, allowing nobody to influence them. They can be extremely patient and unselfish but if provoked, suprisingly aggressive. Sentimental and kind, with tender emotions, Pisceans are very receptive to the environment and feelings of others. They are excellent in healing, music, art, drama, or photography and anything of a spiritual nature. They are also open to mood swings. Can be extremely optimistic at times, and swing over to being vague, lose their drive, and give up too easily. They must be careful not to get despondent at these times. They can easily become disillusioned with other’s foibles. Fortunately, they use their natural psychic ability to plug directly into the consciousness of all humanity. They are the visionaries who cannot help but uplift those around them with their humor, charm, and sympathy.
