| The Fish (February 19 - March 20 ) |
| Pisces need to explore their world through their emotions. They feel things so deeply that quite often they become a kind of psychic sponge, absorbing the emotions of people around them. Because of this, they should choose their friends and associates carefully. People born under this sign usually have wonderful imaginations and great creative resources. They gravitate toward the arts in general and to theatre and film in particular. In the business world, they tend to make powerful administrators and managers because they are so attuned to the thoughts of the people around them. Pisces people need time alone so that they can detach from the emotions of people around them and center themselves. Without periodic solitude, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to sort out what they feel from what other people feel. They are very impressionable. They also tend to be moody because they feel the very height of joy and the utter depths of despair. Love and romance are essential for most Piscean individuals. It fulfills them emotionally and they generally flourish within stable relationships. Pisces, represented by the fish swimming in opposite directions, can be ambivalent and indecisive simply because they are so impressionable. In highly evolved types, mystical tendencies are well developed and the individuals possess deeply spiritual connections. There are two types of Pisces individuals .. the whale and the dolphin. The first tends to be physically large, in height and in weight. The second tends to be smaller, more graceful. The whale often looks awkward when he walks, as if his feet are too small for the rest of him. His dolphin counterpart is, in contrast, like a dancer, at home with his body. The extraordinary eyes that are typical of the Pisces individual are exemplified in the violet eyes of Elizabeth Taylor. Since Pisces rules the feet, most individuals with a Pisces Sun, Moon, or Ascendant benefit from foot massage and foot reflexology. |
