Pisces

PISCES

The symbol of Pisces - two fishes swimming in opposite directions - suggests the main tension in the Piscean character: a natural perversity. Kindness joins with keen intuition to make Pisceans the best sort of friends. They are friendly, charitable & self-sacrificing, but their willingness to help others has a drawback in that they too often make it an excuse for failing to exploit their own high potential; they are so busy using their energy on behalf of their family & friends that they have little left for their own affairs.

BASIC PERSONALITY

    It is often very difficult for Pisceans to learn to face reality; stronger, caring people should encourage them to do so at every opportunity. The belief that "whatever will be, will be" can become a veritable trap for them, in the worst cases resulting in complete inaction. Taking the line of least resistance, & deceiving themselves because they don't want to face up to harsh reality, are major faults.
     The colorful Piscean imagination, creatively & positively expressed, is an enormous asset, but Pisceans must learn not to allow their imaginations to work negatively, magnifying small problems into major ones. The negative Piscean characteristics will then take over.
     Traditionally, Pisces is known as the poet of the zodiac, but take this in the broadest sense - it aplies to the creative use of the imagination in any area of life
     The refusal to face reality can emerge in an inability to see things as they really are. This kind of self-deception can be a really dangerous fault, persuading Pisceans to lie because (they tell themselves) the truth will hurt those they love. On the contrary, they are usually only making matters worse. Sun sign Pisceans should strive to develop minds of their own, thus avoiding evasion & indecision. The position of Mercury (which rules the mind) in the complete birth chart must be carefully studied..
