Pisces (20 February- 20 March): Mutable Water Sign

Ana Isabel

Everything about this sign is watery; the fish, the element and the fact that Neptune god of the seas is ruler of Pisces. So to really understand this we need to imagine that we are under water. Sound becomes distorted, so that judging distance is difficult and no matter how clear the water is, we can never see quite as clearly as on land. This, then is what life is like for a Pisces. Nothing is ever clear, simple, black or white. Life is much more about sensing what is going on. At times things can get quite confusing as Pisces tries to make sense of the world.

One of the reasons for this confusion is that Pisceans are very sensitive. They can feel what everyone else is feeling and this can make decisions very difficult. If you know what everyone around you is feeling then it is hard to do things which they might find hurtful. Sometimes Pisceans find it difficult to tell which feelings are their own and which come from someone else. It’s not uncommon to find themselves feeling depressed or drained and get home wondering why, only to realise they’ve picked up these feelings from spending the afternoon with someone who was very negative.

The symbol of the fish was often used by early Christians to symbolise Christ and this sign does have the reputation for being very self- sacrificing. ‘No’ is not a word easily said by Pisceans. They don’t want to upset or disappoint anyone; in fact they would rather be helpful and spend their time trying to rescue other people. This is why Pisceans are often found in caring professions.

The link between early Christians and the symbol of the fish is also apt because this is a sign associated with mysticism. Pisceans are often interested in investigating matters to do with spirituality, religion, astrology, etc.  They have an ability to see divinity in everyone and so are predisposed to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. This means that they sometimes feel gullible and disillusioned, usually because they put their trust in someone they thought was perfect and have just found out that they were wrong. One of the most difficult things for Pisceans is to be realistic about people, and life in general.

Reality can be quite ugly and Pisceans prefer to deal with the beautiful and ideal. They need daily opportunities to escape from the uglier aspects of life. Fantasy is one way in which they can escape, either watching a good film or becoming immersed in a good book. Creative activities, like painting, photography, dancing, composing or even just listening to music are all good ways to re-establish faith in the belief that somehow the world is not as bad as it sometimes seems. By doing this, a Pisces finds it much easier to continue to float along life’s currents. Perhaps we all ought to take a leaf out of their book and allow ourselves to use our imaginations to visualise and create a happier world.
