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.

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

Remember I'm always am open to suggestions. If there's anything particular you would be interested in seeing, just let me know! I'm always interested to hear your requests!

… just don’t request more frequent updates. please. 
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.

your love for scorpios makes me so happy. i love you pisces probably just as much as you love us scorps. you guys amaze me and i want nobody else but a pisces. i'm happy to see i don't scare some of you off with all the intenseness and jealousy (and i am loaded with that being a scorp sun + scorp moon). so thanks for always making me smile :)

You know what’s funny about this? For some reason, the thought of a Scorpio reading what I say about Scorpios never crossed my mind— ahahaha. wow. okay. so. A little bit embarrassed right now. 

Oh but, I honestly kind of doubt you love Pisces as much as I love Scorpios— only because I really, really love Scorpios.

And, I personally believe only 10% of Pisces (who actually identify with the stereotype) are genuinely scared of Scorpios. I mean, yeah, Scorpios are intense, and passionate, and bold— and we’ll retreat in response to that. But on the inside? I’m preeeetty sure the majority of Pisces are melting. Considering we’re hopeless romantics, and sort of eat that up.

Haha, and you’re welcome. c:

#that awkward moment when your pisces blog doubles as a scorpio ego boost blog
I actually have a Scorpio BF but i'm scared of loosing him and is not that he does nothing bad on the contrary hes actually so perfect that i'm scared some one else will find out how awesome he is. Do you have any idea if a Pisces and a Scorpio really make a good enough match to actually live together till then end?

Well, I will say this: Scorpio and Pisces are notorious for having on-again off-again relationships. It’s like, they get fed up with each other, but then they can’t live without each other… only to get fed up again— but wait, then they remember they can’t function properly without one another— etc etc. 

I looked at marriage rates a while back between Pisces and other signs, and the rate between Pisces and Scorpio is pretty decent (especially considering divorce rates nowadays). 

But I can tell you this: your worry is very normal of a Pisces, simply because many Pisces lack self-confidence and therefore have insecurity issues. The only way for you to find out is to keep heading onwards; don’t be too afraid of what may or may not come. To me, acting on the idea that “he might just leave me for someone better” is just as silly as … well, buying clothes two sizes too small with the idea that you’re going to dress the body you want to have. You have no idea what body you may or may not have— just as you don’t know what the future of your relationship holds. Have ambition, and take confidence in how awesome your Scorpio is. Not to mention, taking pride in how amazing you find your partner will likely be a turn-on to your Scorpio.
