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.
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."
Haha, yes, I’ve already written up descriptions for Pisces with all the rising signs. c: They’re sitting in my queue, and will be published over the course of today.
… just don’t request more frequent updates. please.
That will hopefully change once my semester officially ends.
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."
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.
Be confused no longer! c: I’ve made a post about this before, try looking here?
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:
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.
… I AM? WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?
No, um, sorry for the misunderstanding? I’m not dating a Scorpio. Well, umm… more precisely, I’m not dating anyone. hahaha.
Disclaimer. Anon, you know how biased I am about Scorpios, right? Haha. I’ll try not to be too biased, but:
( Speaking to a Pisces being in a relationship with a Scorpio, of course )
The thing about this pair that I personally adore has to do with the combination of Pisces being the “timid dreamer” and Scorpio being the “passionate catalyst” to making Pisces’ fantasies a reality. I personally think Scorpio can be both an emotional and grounding partner for Pisces, because I think they possess a very logical quality about them that a Pisces needs to ease smoothly into reality. (Because, as it is, many Pisces dislike reality and have a hard time coping with the things we dislike/find depressing about society, etc). Of course, many Scorpios will come off as too blunt and harsh for a Pisces, but I’m supposed to be focusing on the perks right now. Pisces are notably empathic, which suits with Scorpio swimmingly (no pun intended). Many Scorpios are uncomfortable with showing, talking, and/or explaining their emotions, and a Pisces can normally adapt to this type of “communication style” (or lack there of), simply because Pisces can almost innately understand the Scorpio without need for words. I almost think this establishes a type of “telepathic bond,” personally.
I mean, there are other perks I can think of— but they’re all incredibly biased. For example, Scorpios tend to become jealous easily. And to me, I find that really alluring… /cough
I don’t mean to pass judgement, but why turn to astrology? If you are experiencing self-destructive behavior, you ought to seek professional help. :c And I’m certainly not qualified to give you the help you need. That’s not the answer you’re looking for, I know. And, though it’s possible you’re using the term “bipolar” in a cultural sense, rather than a diagnostic sense, if you truly show signs of having Bipolar Disorder, then I stress the seeking professional help even more. If you are having severe emotional issues, I’m afraid there’s not much I can do for you. :c
So, in response to “I am seeking help in some way or another,” I suppose my advice is clear? Seek help from a professional. I wouldn’t want to misguide someone in a fragile state of mind, and only worsen your issue.
Um, I’m inclined to go with the Sagittarius here. I had kind of a tough time deciding— but, ultimately what a looked at here was the modality of the signs. Pisces and Sagittarius are both mutable signs, and Taurus(moon) and Aquarius(moon) are both fixed signs. This leads me to believe that perhaps the pair is more compatible. But in either case, the element of the signs don’t match up quite harmoniously, and it might be rather rocky. ><
Well, I can certainly tell you that I’m a borderline anarchist myself. As far as a Pisces trait? Well, yes and no. Pisces are generally go with the flow and they generally dislike conflict, and … well, not following directions generally does bring conflict. However, I think it’s very Piscean to follow your intuition. So if your intuition/gut tells you to do something that goes and against the rules…
Well, see, I think with Pisces it’s not so much a downright rebellion? It’s almost more of a coincidence. Like, I don’t think it’s very Pisces-like to purposely do things against the rules, simply because it’s against the rules. More like, what we feel is “right” just so happens to be… not what was directed of us? Does that make sense?
Lost in fantasy, we are easily considered the most creative and imaginative sign. This is what make us great poetry, music, acting, art and story writing. What restrains us from letting our creative nature show? Our timid nature.
Firstly, I do think many Pisces struggle with this at one point or another.
Is it possible your emotional instability is blocking your creative energy from blossoming? I personally am of the belief that if you struggle with internal struggles, like low self esteem, it causes a sort of “blockage” that makes it difficult for a person’s creative nature to truly shine. Likewise, you say you don’t “really feel your inner self” which I suggest might be your first step towards finding your creative energy. You need to be in-tune with your body as a whole, I think, and this might mean going through some self-reflection to find and embrace this inner-self. After all, if creativity stems from within, and you don’t feel your inner self… it’s natural that you can’t find your inner fantasy. I think meditation and yoga is a good way to balance yourself, but I understand if that’s not “your cup of tea."
Um, I don’t know? I'm amateur at best when it comes to reading charts. I guess it’s possible there’s something in a chart that would point towards “daddy issues,” but I wouldn’t know of it.
Yes, it’s quite normal, I think. I mean, I’m not sure if this is entirely related, but a lot of the time with Pisces particularly, we’ll kind of be in our own world— and when reality finally hits us, we become really depressed. However, most astrology sources I’ve looked into does say Pisces are prone to depression. To snap out of it? I think most Pisces prefer to just escape it. However, I think if you can manage to engage in creative activity it might help. Or perhaps surround yourself with good energy? So, if you have a friend or a small group of friends who are usually cheerful, absorbing their good, happy nature might help you. Pisces tend to take in the emotions of those around them— so if you’re in a slump, it might be helpful to be around people who might cheer you up. c:
Just because we always dream doesn’t mean we are lost in our dreamland. We are greatly aware of the reality we live in. Sometimes, we get lost in our dreams to find out how to make it a reality!
I hate how Pisces are written off as the “weakest” of the zodiac in Western astrology. We’re not. Kindness and acceptance =/= weakness. Sometimes I prefer the Medicine Wheel, which is Native American astrology. The corresponding zodiac is the Mountain Lion. When we Pisces get pushed to the brink, I like to think we bring out our inner cougars - and unleash our claws and teeth. Just something for you Pisces to think about when feeling down or are told that Pisces are weak.
I like how Pisces is portrayed as the sensitive almost fragile sign, but I know how to make someone’s life a living hell–one full of guilt and hatred for themselves; a little taste of what this Pisces feels when other signs step on her. Though, you other signs bet your asses that this kind of revenge is incredibly rare. Oh, and by the way? We Pisces tend to have all those parts of you that you’re afraid of letting anyone else see, because you’re just that open to us.
Study in an environment where you won’t get easily distracted. Pisces notoriously daydream and get off track when they’re supposed to be focusing, so try to eliminate things that will distract you. Unfortunately, nowadays a lot of studying is done on the computer… which is a horrible enabler for distractions. For that reason, if I’m doing an essay or something, I try to do most of my pre-writing by hand. Away from a computer. I also try to be away from people, and I avoid listening to music that I’ll end up breaking into song and dance…
Also, do NOT let yourself procrastinate. Oh my god. We all do it— but Pisces are so horrible with this. Especially if it’s with a subject we dislike! For one, procrastination acts very much like a self-defense mechanism against failure— and two, Pisces can be a bit lazy… So, like, FORCE yourself to make a schedule. Okay, I hate schedules. Hate them. I’d rather do things at my own pace— but you can be lose about it. Like, “Tuesday to Wednesday I need to do _____.” You don’t need to obsess and be like, “4:00PM - 8:00PM do ______.” I think there’s a happy medium to be found in scheduling, it just takes trial and error and practicing to see what works for you.
