Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20 - The Fish
Archetype:
The Dreamer. Always looking for the grass
that's greener on the other side because you've spent so much
time fantasizing about it will look like. Unfortunately, reality
rarely meets your expectations.
Stone: Moonstone: They are not brilliant
stones, in fact, all of the specimens, from the peach and grays
to the gem-quality blue and rainbow colored pieces, are soft
and translucent. The physical appearance of a stone often suggests
its spiritual qualities, and moonstone's most important attribute
is the ability to assist us in calming and soothing the emotions.
When one has achieved a state of emotional calmness, this stone
may be used to open a path to an intuitive understanding of
spirituality.
Ruling Planet: Neptune: Neptune
represents the psychic visionary gateway to higher realms.
As it is very difficulty to absorb and express this energy
via the limitations of the surface conscious mind, it often
appears as mystical, inspiring fantasy, or diffusing reality.
It is the unripe fantasy that gives Neptune its "Veil of Illusion" characteristic.
For some, the inability to cope with physical reality forces
a self-induced isolation. It symbolizes the passive escape from
the limitations of logical minded society and the development
of mind exploration through spiritualism or drugs.
When Zeus became king of the gods, he gave an
empire to each of his brothers. All of the sea was made subject
to Poseidon/Neptune. The ocean represents the unknown world of
existence, yet the source of physical life. It is hard to classify
Neptune not only in the myths, but in astrology as well. In the
world of Poseidon/Neptune there are still many opportunities,
but they can be difficult to grasp.
Defining Animal: Two fish
swimming in different directions.Fish have long been a food staple.
The two fish swimming in opposite directions represents the inner
tension of the sign.
Health Problems: Pisces governs the feet,
liver, and lymphatics. Some common problems can include anemia,
boils, ulcers, and other skin diseases, especially inflammation
of the eyelids, gout, inflammation, heavy periods, and foot
disorders.
You likely have a very sensitive system which is easily influenced
by external factors. It can even be to the point where someone
says you look pale and you immediately get a headache and need
to go to the doctor. You may react quite severely to prescription
drugs so if you are taking anything new keep a close eye on your
health. Pisceans have a natural addiction factor and may have
difficulty controlling smoking, drugs, and alcohol.
About Pisceans: This is
one of the less flamboyant signs. You have a gentle, patient,
flexible nature. You have many generous qualities and are friendly,
good natured, kind and compassionate, sensitive to the feelings
of those around you, and respond with the utmost sympathy and
tact to any suffering you encounter. You are deservedly popular
with all kinds of people, partly because your easygoing, affectionate
nature offers no threat of challenge to stronger characters.
You accept people and the circumstances in which you find yourself
and patiently wait for problems to sort themselves out rather
than take the initiative in solving them. You are more concerned
with the problems of others than your own.
You exist emotionally rather than rationally, instinctively
more than intellectually. Your willpower, ambition to be recognized,
and reasoning are all limited and, however anxious you are, your
concentration is weak and you are easily diverted from your purpose.
Pisceans tend to withdraw into a dream world where your qualities
can bring mental satisfaction and sometimes fame and financial
reward. You are also versatile and intuitive, have quick understanding,
observe and listen well, and are receptive to new ideas and atmospheres.
All these factors can combine to produce remarkable creativity
in literature, music, and art. You may count among their gifts
mediumistic qualities which can give you the feeling that their
best work comes from outside themselves. Even when you cannot
express yourself creatively you have a great instinct and love
of beauty in art and nature, an appreciation of luxury and pleasure,
and a yearning for new sensations and travel to remote, exotic
places.
Your faults are exasperating rather than vicious. You can be
over subtle, oversensitive and overemotional. You also have traits
of fickleness, gossiping, indiscretion, weakness, and gullibility.
You can be intellectually dishonest and fraudulent, deceitful,
and hypocritical. When you feel rejected, lonely you will find
refuge in drugs and alcohol or through self-indulgence.
Love and Friendship: You are never egotistical
in your personal relationships and give more than anyone asks
to your friends. You are sexually delicate, in the extreme
almost asexual, and would not want a relationship in which
the partner's mind and spirit was not similar to your own.
Unfortunately you can be easily misled by anyone who courts
you delicately. You are nevertheless intensely loyal and home-loving
and will remain faithful - though your dreamy and impractical
nature does not allow you to keep a tidy and well-run house.
Your friends may find your shyness and sense of unimportance
irritating. In fact, they may want to shake off acquaintances
who not only lack initiative but are irritable and temperamental
in your dependence on them.
Career: You may live a lazy life, searching
for some career in which you can find yourself, but being easily
discouraged you become hopeless, feeling unappreciated and
move on to something or someone else. You dislike discipline
and confinement within a routine nine-to-five life and are
better working either by yourself or in a subordinate position.
Any rebellion you make against convention is personal, however,
as you do not have the energy to battle against the Establishment.
Your talents are individual in a commercial
business and you might be afraid to manage more than a small
department, always worrying that you would fail in a crisis.
Your creative ability combined with gifts of imitation and the
ability to enter into the feelings of others, make you at ease
on the stage. Because of your lively versatility and inability
to concentrate on any one project, you often follow more than
one occupation. In business, you can be unreliable, idle, careless,
impractical, and ineffective.
