You have no idea how badly I wanted to reply to this with a gif.
Yes.
Okay, this might sound redundant or obvious, but— my answer to this is going to not be consistent if you were to ask it to someone else. I mean, if you ask another astrology blog, or pisces blog, or something, they might tell you something completely different.
Many people say Pisces are the most romantic zodiac; that we literally breathe romance. I agree. Most people automatically assume we’re just talking about love here, right? But, well, what does it mean to be a romantic? Well, it’s a person who has an idealized view of reality. I think the concept of “destiny” is very much a romantic concept.
Romance and what it entails, I believe, varies from individual to individual. You know, how “beauty is in the eye of the beholder?” I think a concept like romance, and what one considers romantic, is also very individual-biased.
Do I think it’s normal for a Pisces, then? Yes.
Many people, I think, would argue that, as a Pisces, the “most romantic sign,” you just" haven’t found ‘the one,’“ yet; but, I think your concept of romance is simply fulfilled by a different entity.
I think this would be a pretty good match. c:
I just worry that the Capricorn individual is going to have a really hard time opening up with their emotions. The Pisces individual might, too, given that their ascendant is Scorpio— but I think the Capricorn would guard their emotional-self like crazy. And if the Pisces needs that kind of “talk it out” communication style, the Capricorn might feel too uncomfortable with that. Don’t let that discourage you, though. The signs you mentioned are rather compatible.
Well, to say that they “pulled a stunt” is pretty vague. I can’t infer details of what this Pisces friend of yours did, and I therefore don’t know if it’s typical. … Does that make sense, or is my wording weird? I’m extra tired this morning, so forgive me if this response isn’t up to par.
As a rule of thumb? Pisces generally get a long with most signs, regardless of whether or not the friend happens to also be a Pisces. It’s that whole “carrying a bit of each sign within us” bit. I think every sign has potential to do something to someone that will result in a loss of friendship, though. Now, with Pisces? Okay, sure, most Pisces tend to be really… passive. We put others needs first, especially in a friendship. So if you’re looking at the zodiac and you wanted to make a list of signs “Least Likely to End A Friendship"— Pisces would probably be first. Maybe second, depending on who was doing the list.
So, does that make it normal? Well, I wouldn’t call it abnormal.
Haha, coincidence?
Well, I don’t think it’s too uncommon to find yourself gravitating towards specific signs. I’ve met people who say very similar things (with different signs). I suppose it’s just what you happen to favor in a friendship. c:

It is so hard to share the world inside my head with reality and connect the two. I think, because of that, I finally understand the symbol of the two fish swimming against one another. There is such a strong difference between my inner self and the one that lives in reality. I feel so frustrated when the two don’t meet. I wish I could always be the person inside my head, inside my heart, but it’s so hard to do so.
One of the hardest things we ever have to face, is letting go of someone who is bad for us, no matter how much we love them.
No matter what happens to me or who I meet I can’t help but always be attracted to a leo.
My initial response is that he was simply using this as a metaphor to put your chart into a tangible form for you to be able to understand. For instance, in my personal Mayan Astrology— the White Spectral Mirror— it often makes a reference to a “spiritual warrior.” It displays a concept with literary archetypes many of us already have. For instance, wolves are commonly used as symbols to portray omens— both good and bad. They’re a messenger, often spiritual, who show others things they are often unaware of or in need of seeing at the time of their appearance. They independent, but compassionate and intense. It’s likely if you asked many people to “describe what wolves mean symbolically” you’d get a list of words that are roughly the same in meaning.
However, it’s always possible that he was referring to a Native American Astrology. I find it a little creepy that you’d be asking this right now— because literally an hour ago I was researching this. I’m new to Native American Astrology, but I’m under the impression that there are different types? Such as Medicine Wheel/Earth Astrology, and Northern Native American Astrology, etc. (which makes sense, considering the different tribes?). However, in one particular Native American Astrology I found, the Wolf is actually akin to Pisces (in other types, it’s a Cougar or a Whale). For information on that, click here.

[complete description]In general, all Ash individuals tend to have duality in their natures. On one side, they are artistic with an aura of vulnerability…on the other side, they are quite pragmatic. Being compassionate and sensitive, they understand the baser elements of humankind, as well as the spiritual aspect. The compassion of Ash individuals also extends to the animal kingdom and they have an innate ability to relieve suffering, both by physical nursing and the power of prayer. The faith of the Ash is rarely orthodox in a religious sense, but they are highly intuitive individuals, often possessing a strong deeper sense of spiritual matters. Ash people are highly adaptable and, despite a frail appearance, can recover from almost any emotional blow. On the negative side, theose governed by the Ash frequently experience trouble when handling the more mundane practicalities of everyday living. Often easily influenced by others, the Ash individual can be low on self-confidence and may become isolated.
Ash people have a creative genuis for making money but frequently fail to carry a project or idea through to its completion. As children, they require careful direction in order to learn how to use their talents to the fullest potential. Possessed of a somewhat mystical quality, Ash individuals are drawn to fantasy worlds. They adore the theater and movies, frequently blessed with beautiful singing voices although their preference is to work behind the scenes. They are also usually attracted to the ocean…or any other body of water…sometimes with fascination and sometimes with fear. There is no compromise for the vulnerable Ash individual where water is concerned…it will be one or the other. The career of the Ash person should never involve a routine which is too strict. The arts are a good choice but, because of the compassionate nature of these individuals, they are often drawn to the medical field and are good at organizing charitable functions.
Ash individuals are quick-witted, spontaneous and gregarious. They possess a lively curiosity and are intelligent, persuasive speakers. Being enthusiastic, inquisitive and communicative, Ash people love engaging in discussions about new ideas and projects. They are gentle individuals and, though easily hurt, are able to cope well with the negative in addition to the positive. They make for kind and considerate friends, ideal sweethearts and caring parents. Being romantics and dreamers, Ash individuals frequently appear to have one foot in the “Land of the Sidhe” and strive constantly to keep order in their lives. On the negative side, Ash people possess a nebulous quality which can lead to an inability to cope with the practicalities of everyday living. They are also easily influenced by others and have a hypersensitive nature which can undermine their self-confidence and ambitions. It is important for Ash people to focus their mental abilities or they are inclined to become nervous and irritable.
The Ash is the rough equivalent of Pisces in The Celtic Zodiac. Though the dates aren’t exactly the same, the description ought to fit for most who identify with Pisces. However, if you insist on looking at the end March dates not included in The Ash (March 18-20), click here.
As a Pisces, one of the most painful things I’ve ever done is both being best friends with and having feelings for an Aquarius. I can’t but help but to be emotionally attached and needy, and that is the thing she despises most.
I am personally of the belief that isolation is a necessity to Pisces. (And for that matter any individual who considers themselves introverted, or otherwise exhausted by being emerged in social activities). By isolating ourselves, we are given time to regain our energy. Pisces are hypersensitive to the environment, if you were to go from place to place— from crowd to crowd, even if you were traveling alone, I would imagine you would find yourself quite exhausted, frustrated, etc. For instance, sometimes I run errands by myself— I’ll go to the mall, or something. And though I am by myself, and don’t speak to anyone… I am surrounded by many. It is very exhausting. I need time to myself, as do many others who are impacted by their environment, to regenerate.
I also feel as though many Pisces would feel a sense of dissatisfaction if not given the chance to self-reflect/soul search/etc. Isolation I think is a key part in being left alone with your thoughts.
Isolation, however, for an extended period of time? Yes, I think it can be damaging. I think many Pisces thrive when they feel they are being helpful to others, or creating smiles on the faces of their friends. And, well, they can’t do that in isolation, can they? I also believe many Pisces become more depressed when they are alone… Being left alone with your thoughts can be both a good and bad thing to a Pisces. On one hand, our minds can explore. On the other? I’d think that we’d wind up getting fixated on “how much we dislike reality” or something to that affect.
I think it’s good to handle isolation in small doses.
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.
Hahaha, yes. Most definitely.
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.
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.
the other signs are always telling me that i overreact about my feelings ಥ_ಥ
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.
I didn’t feel like enabling my submit page until now— but I feel like maybe this will make it easier. Now all Pisces Confessions will be done via /submit.
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.
c: look here?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
um, dear anon, would you please look at the birthday profiles? c:
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.
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:
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.
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.
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:
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.
