what do you think makes a pisces special?

Personally, I enjoy the metaphor many astrologers use involving Pisces and the sea. You know, how much of our sea is unexplored and unknown.  I very much think every Pisces has a world inside of them, similar to how there are many different types of habitats in the ocean. 

I think Piscean intuition is a gift, and I also think the love from a Pisces is a very special kind of love.

I am a Pisces, and I've been told that I'm too sensitive, or too open with my feelings, too emotional. Is this a Piscean trait?

Hahaha, yes. Most definitely.

Pisces Confession:

I love putting the decisions for little things on my friends because “I’m too indecisive! You guys know I’m  a Pisces!” It drives them crazy and I think it’s hilarious.

Pisces Confession:

As a Pisces, I always feel like I know a lot of people better than they know themselves. I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but it’s how I feel.

Also, I want to say that I really don’t like Aquarians. They grate on me.

I've tried finding my ascendant numerous times but every time I do I end up with a different sign. I've gotten taurus, sagittarius, cancer, and gemini. How do I know for sure which one is the real one?

That’s odd. (well not really. some calculators are completely off) Are You sure you’re not entering different times? ie: 3 AM once, 3 PM another (by accident, of course)? If you’re having a hard time calculating your ascendant online, you could consult an astrologer. Someone who would draw out an entire chart for you, on the spot. See what they say.

Have You Seen My Page?piscesparadox.tumblr.com

I apologize if I sound rude, but it’s a little annoying getting repetitive questions from anons who could answer their own questions by simply looking at the homepage. 

I encourage everyone to use the links on my page before submitting questions.

I have a section called Astrology 101 for questions like “What is a Sun Sign?” “What is an Ascendant?” “What is a Moon Sign?" 

I have another section, which is really quite fancy, called All Pisces Links. Where you can literally find every grouping/theme of posts I’ve done on the blog thus far. 

Please, please, use the links. It’d be really cool if you did.

Which star signs should pisces avoid?

Well, Pisces are said to get along just fine with every sign— we tend to adapt well, and identify with most. As the last sign, our souls have journeyed through each zodiac. 

However, I will say that Pisces ought to avoid people who don’t take their emotional needs into consideration. Many Pisces are hypersensitive to their environment, and this includes the people in said environment. Since it is many Pisces’ first instinct to give and put other people’s needs and interests first, if they are surrounded by people who never consider the Pisces, our energy will often be completely depleted. Now, if you can manage to stop volunteering yourself for this kind of relationship— great. There’s no need to avoid anyone. However, there are a few signs that sometimes forget about the emotional needs of others— such as Sagittarius, Gemini, and Aquarius. They always mean well, I think, but they’re very practical signs who tend to favor Logic to Feeling.

How Pisces with Scorpio ascendant get along with Saggitaurus as a friends and lovers?

Depends. I would imagine on how strongly your Scorpio ascendant shows itself. In my opinion, I don’t think Scorpios and Sagittarius would get along too well… They’re both very opinionated, blunt people. I imagine if a Sag and Scorpio butted heads, it could get very ugly. However, if you don’t particularly think your ascendant is very strong? I think it could be for a fun friendship. 

Perhaps their idealism and optimism about life can inspire a Pisces, who can often be quite depressed about reality. Now, if you follow me, anon, you might know that I personally happen to not get along well with a lot of Sagittarius. And I sort of dislike it when people are too optimistic— because they come across as naive, to me. So, even though a Pisces might find Sagittarius’ personality refreshing… I do say that it might have the complete opposite affect. 

As lovers, however, I’m inclined to advise against this.
Sagittarius tend to not be “emotionally aware.” They tend to not recognize what others need emotionally from them, and the Pisces will get totally lost and they tend to feel used by Sagittarius. Sags in relationships are very happy-go-lucky, whereas Pisces tend to want something more serious and intimate.

I'm Pisces but I value freedom and personal space a lot, I'm not that clingy either. will this change a few things with Aquarius?

Will it change a few things? Yes, it will change a few things. But I’ll say that many Pisces value a time to have their own space, to reflect within themselves (especially Pisces in the second decan). Many Aquarius dislike talking about emotions and opening themselves up in that aspect, which is practically a necessity to most Pisces regardless of how clingy they are. I think it often comes down to a matter of emotional fulfillment for Pisces— that is, if the Pisces is truly more independent that the stereotype. 

May 27, 2012
The compatibility of Pisces-aries cusp with Leo ascedant and Aquarius with Capricorn ascendant?

By simply going off the Sun and Ascendant signs, I am a little worried with this pair. I’m inclined to think the two of you would not see eye-to-eye on a lot of things, and would perhaps be more-or-less unchanging in your ways— the Aquarius/Capricorn individual more so than you. Likewise, the combination of Leo Ascendant and Capricorn Ascendant is a huge clash. The combination of Pisces-Leo seems like it’d be the type of individual who requires positive affirmation, or would seek approval outside themselves… and they would not find it in the Aquarius-Capricorn. 

May 27, 2012
can Pisces and Aquarius get along as friends and lovers?

Friends, definitely.

Lovers, I’d be hesitant and would want to look at individual charts. (ie: If the Aquarius has a venus in pisces, it might be a great match) As a rule of thumb, though? No. Pisces is too clingy and overbearing for an Aquarius, who values freedom and personal space. Also, Pisces won’t feel emotionally satisfied or valued by the Aquarius.

Is it 'normal' for pisces to feel detached from worldly duties like work and chores to the point of becoming excessively lazy? All I want to do is lay in bed and day-dream.. Any advice on how to focus on life outside of dreams and emotions?

Oh, yes. Quite common, actually— or so I think. One of the traits on the “list of faults” you’d commonly see for Pisces is indeed laziness— and I think what you said there is why. We’re detached from worldly duties. As far as advice goes? Well, do you have any dreams you’d like to turn into reality? Something that motivates you for the present to get those dreams going for the future? You need to figure out what will get you to focus on the “here and now” which is often a bit of a struggle for Pisces. Only you, I think, will be able to know what will truly motivate you— but you need to focus on now.

I have a cappy friend and we get along pretty good but I have always LOVED geminis for some reason. If I was in a crowded room of people me and the one gemini would find each other and hang out forever and if there wasn't a gemini I'd find the closest aquarius. It never fails. I'm a pisces sun / virgo rising so I have no idea why I like that sign so much.

Well, to be honest, I think it’s very easy to spot a Gemini. They’re the loud ones. /shotdead 
But seriously: If you’re really curious, check your Venus Sign? I mean, it generally doesn’t move very far from Pisces (as a Sun Pisces), but perhaps you have a Venus in Aries. Regardless, Virgo Risings have an appreciation for logic and quirkiness— of which Geminis and Aquarius both have. c: 

also, it’s always possible that your Seventh House is ruled by Gemini, or another air sign.

Is it normal for Pisces to get along with Virgos and Aries more than other signs? I seem to get along with them the best.

Romantically? Or friendship-wise? Aries and Pisces generally make good friends, and Virgos can compliment a Pisces well also in the area of friendship. As far as romance is concerned? Well, “AriesxPisces” is considered harmonious by many, but as a rule of thumb? I think it’s notabnormal. Virgo, on the other hand, it’s more of a rarity to be romantically compatible.

In Regards to Disliking Specific Signs

I just wanted to say that I encourage everyone to always keep an open mind. I know that we Pisces are very emotional, hypersensitive beings, who perhaps frighten easily at the thought of being hurt. And if we can spot a tell-tale sign of pain, like a zodiac sign that hurt us in the past, we might feel inclined to close ourselves away. I want to encourage everyone to remember it’s just a sign. If you take astrology close to heart— tell yourself there’s much more to a chart than just the sun sign. If you’re simply overly cautious about being hurt and repeating a painful cycle, I encourage you to perhaps think about what you’d be missing out on.

I often think about people who say they want to “take a break from dating men” after being dumped by their boyfriend. Is that logical, do you think? Is it fair? Because one person wronged you, is it right to push out all the others? 

I just really felt the need to post this.

I agree with that last person. Me and cancers get along well for a little bit but we always have a huge falling out that we never get back from. This has only consistently happened with cancers for me. But, I never really like the signs I'm supposed to get along with so I could just be a weirdo :-/ haha.

Haha, you’re no weirdo. I know other Pisces who aren’t particularly attracted to the signs they’re supposed to get along with. In fact, it seems like a lot of Pisces I know seem to love Capricorns.

I am a pisces and i really do not see myself as manipulative at all. Also, I am usually very unaware of other peoples manipulative motives... i guess its those "rose-colored glasses"

Well, to be honest, I don’t think of myself as manipulative, either. Though, I see how I could be. Most Pisces are manipulative in the way we see other’s vulnerable spots. We tend to read people fairly well, and are very empathetic. In the hands of someone who wishes vengeance, this can create a very manipulative person. They’d know their “target” very well, and know just the right spots to push. Does that make sense? It’d be like going into a duel, knowing your opponent recently had knee surgery and weak ankles. We’re observant, and though we generally look at the positive traits and ignore the flaws in others— we can acknowledge those flaws all the same if it serves us.

Now, not every Pisces would act on this. In fact, I don’t think the majority of Pisces do. 

I don’t. Or, I’d like to think if I do it’s very rarely. I have a lot of self-control, and most Pisces I think act on this “manipulative” trait out of anger. I think many Pisces run away when conflicts arise, and therefore would not use this “manipulation” to get back at those who wronged them.

Personally, I don't like Cancers. My friend and I experienced horrific acts of relationship treason at the hands of Cancers. I just don't like them because they can be manipulative at times.

Well, we all have our likes and dislikes, and I personally think we’re rightly entitled to them as emotional beings. 

However, I will say that all the water signs are noted to be manipulative, not just Cancer. Pisces and Scorpio can be very manipulative, as well. c:

what does "sun pisces" mean? or is it just a pisces in general?

Yes, it’s just a Pisces in general. c: When someone asks you, “What zodiac sign are you?” and you say “Pisces” you’re actually talking about your Sun Sign.

I know Pisces females and Cancer males are usually good as a couple, but can these two ever be able to hook up with each other without falling for one another?

Um, forgive me, I’m actually a little naive when it comes to … relationship lingo. But, by “hook up” you do mean things such as going on dates without any emotional attachment, right? No strings attached? And your asking if it’s possible to do such things without forming that emotional attachment? 

Well, firstly, I’m wondering if a Cancer would even agree to “hook up.” Of course, at a young age a lot of teenagers seem to just have little flings without much emotional involvement… but, Cancers tend to be on the serious side when it comes to relationships. I have a hard time imagining that they’d even feel comfortable “hooking up” with anyone. 

Regardless, let’s say they agree.

NO. Or, at least, I doubt it’s likely you’d come out of it without feeling some kind of emotional attachment to the Cancer. I mean, there’s a reason the two of you are compatible, and I’m willing to bet if you two went on some kind of “no-strings-attached” date… some quality in this Cancer would appeal to you, and you’d find yourself compelled to do it again. And again. 

That’s a risky road you’d be taking, and— strictly speaking to what I know about the two signs— I’d have to say at least one of you would end up falling for the other. I mean, if there is a willingness to hook up, I’d argue there’s some physical attraction already at play. Call me crazy, but you wouldn’t just “hook up” with a Cancer you found unattractive, would you? I mean, even if it’s just an attractive quality about the Cancer’s presence— not his physical traits. And physical attraction plays a role in overall intimacy. So. If you’re not ready to fall for someone, I wouldn’t risk it.

Holy wow. The Pisces Sun/Virgo Rising thing. That's my fiance to a T. It definitely describes him. Even before we got together, that EXACT post actually sounds like something he'd say about himself, WORD FOR WORD. He has admitted that he "needs to be needed/loves to be needed." I sent it to him too!

Oh, thank you! c: I did mostly write up those posts by myself, going off of what I knew from each ascendant, and therefore interpreted it with my own… “psychological blend”? I don’t know what else to call it, really. But, to hear that it’s regarded as accurate really makes me pleased. Or, at least, less anxious? Haha. So, yes, thank you again! I greatly appreciate it. c:

that "compromise" is SO hard to find!!!! i'm always always always either one of two extremes; working full time or doing absolutely nothing. it's really hard to be devoted to the system once you're disillusioned... i love you and i love your blog and i love all my pisces babies ~~~

Oh, yes, I certainly think so, too. Haha, I often dream about being a vagabond, supplied with papers and pencils, writing to my heart’s content and being able to travel with no particular destination. It really is difficult to apply yourself— and even imagine yourself— in a system that’s so foreign to you. 

haha, thank you. c: <3

So in an old book I had, it said my Rising would be Leo, but the calculator says Sag. I display both of these traits in abundance, especially after reading the match ups youve been posting. Is it possible that I am heavily influced by one of these signs somewhere else in my Chart. I have a detailed chart but reading it has been very confusing and difficult to follow
— tehyueferret

Well, I have to ask— what calculator? I do hope you didn’t use that chart I posted. I did note that it was inaccurate, and probably only helpful to those who only have a vague concept of the hour they were born. So, I hope you used a more exact calculator to determine Sagittarius. If you’re unsure, you could always run it with multiple calculators— I follow quite a few astrology blogs, and one posted a natal chart calculator that, for whatever reason, showed my birth as having a completely different chart. I like seeing what different sites have to say, but it was trying to tell me my Ascendant was in Sagittarius, which it’s not… it’s in Cancer. And, well, ever other natal chart calculator says my actual chart. If you’re unsure whether or not your Ascendant is in Leo or Sagittarius, I suggest running multiple calculators. Yeah. c: 

ANYWAYS. Yes, it’s possible you have both these signs in your chart, of course. It could be one of the planets, or perhaps even one of the Twelve Houses. It can be difficult to understand what a natal chart is trying to say at first, and I think perhaps a site like astro.com provides good step-by-step lessons in deciphering astrology.

What is a Pisces sun and a Gemini Rising?

A “Pisces Sun and Gemini Rising” is an individual who has their Sun Sign in Pisces, meaning they were born between February 19/20 - March 20, but their Rising Sign is in Gemini. Rising/Ascendant Signs are calculated by the time of your birth, and if you’d like to read more about them, click here.

Do you think Pisces kind of...just...float through life? You know, living life unlike the way it's normally perceived. For example; going to college, getting a job, getting married, having kids, getting old, retiring, etc. Do you think Pisces are more prone to an unusual or "off the beaten path" way of life? A life higher and more rewarding than normal existence.

Well, I am inclined to think Pisces would rather have the sort of life which is easy-going, in which they could act to their hearts content. And I do think that the way (Western Society) has structured life is very unappealing to Pisces. I’ve often heard that “this world is not meant for Pisces,” and it’s largely in reference to our unearthly nature. However, I do think our approach tends to be so incredibly abstract, that the idea of structured routine seems quite dull. I think many Pisces often, and unfortunately, allow themselves to become overrun with what is expected of them. I mean, I think the safest way to be successful is to follow that life style— school, college, job, marriage, etc. And I think many Pisces perhaps lose themselves in this, especially their artistic nature. I do think there is perhaps a compromise that exists, but I have yet to find it. 

But ultimately, I do think it is Pisces inclination to resist “normal living.” Do we tend to just float through life, though? I’m inclined to think Pisces lose faith in themselves, or lose confidence, and end up trying to fit into  this “expected, normal living."

“The Ascendant (or rising sign) is often considered the mask one wears when meeting others. Perhaps it is most aptly thought of as the automatic responses to one’s environment. The Ascendant shows our natural defenses and how we cope with day-to-day issues. The energies of the sign and condition of the Ascendant are most overt and obvious to others. The Ascendant shows an individual’s first, natural reaction to new people and situations.”—Cafe Astrology

That will hopefully change once my semester officially ends.

okay so... i did the ascendant thing and the entire chart and well.. im a pisces with ascendants in scorpio and moon sign sagitarius, and my bf is a virgo ascendants in scorpio and moon sign in sagitarius do u sometimes think that the ascendants mean more then the actual zodiac sign?

No, I don’t think that the ascendant means more than your sun sign— or as you said, “the actual zodiac sign.” I do believe the ascendant plays a factor in compatibility, but I think the sun sign keeps everything “in check.” Even to individuals who feel as though their ascendant or moon sign overpowers their sun sign, I still feel as though their sun somehow influences their overall character. 

Some people I do think will tell you if a moon is in a water sign, and the sun is not, perhaps it will play a larger role occasionally. I’m ambivalent as to what I think about that— but I can’t argue that there are people who definitely identify more with their moon or ascendant more than their sun. I still believe if that’s the case, their sun sign still keeps the rest of the chart “in line." 

May 22, 2012

So, I’m technically done with my classes for the semester. I still have my finals to do, so I’m not completely done with the semester yet— but I’ve been brainstorming for some new stuff for the blog. And, well, here’s what I’ve been thinking:

• Pisces Sun + Ascendant Sign posts 
I’ve already done Ascendant Sign Posts in the past, but I’ve been thinking about combining Ascendants and Sun Signs into one post. It’d be strictly my interpretation, mind you. 

• Conversations of a Pisces
Chat posts involving Pisces and another sign of the zodiac that display stereotypical traits of said signs. 

• Weekly Polls
I just need to make sure I can come up with questions to ask you guys. Hahaha.  

That’s all in addition to Pisces Trait posts, hopefully.
