I read everywhere that Pisces is very dependent and clingy, and "can't function alone". However, I'm very independent and can spend loads of time with myself. I'm also extremely private. I'm very comfortable being alone, more so than with other people, especially strangers. Although, with people I really love, I'm very needy, but subtly so. Is this what is meant by Pisces being dependent?

Yes, certainly. 

Pisces are normally quite introverted, and introversion often has traits that allow a person to be comfortable being alone, enjoying seclusion, etc. So, it might throw people off when they hear Pisces associated as “very dependent and clingy.”

/time for a slight tangent 

For a long time, I couldn’t tell if I was “dependent” or “independent,” myself. Personally, I don’t have a problem doing things on my own. I can teach myself things, follow directions easily— I don’t have to be told what to do. I associate this as being independent. However, I also think that since I’m incredibly introverted, these were traits I picked up from not wanting to, um, socialize? Does that make sense? Like, since I purposely would isolate myself (since I felt more comfortable that way), I developed independent traits. 

However, it’s as you said. With the people I care about, I’m actually incredibly needy. And clingy. I’ve never been in a relationship, but I suspect I’d be incredibly dependent in that area as well. And I suspect this is usually how the “dependent and clingy” trait is meant? It’s a little perplexing, considering Pisces can be both quite independent and dependent individuals. I think it’s, as you illustrated, a varying emotion? 

Sorry for going off on that personal tangent, but I think perhaps sharing my personal experience on this might’ve been relevant?? Haha, sorry.

About Specific Birth Dates

I have gotten a few messages recently about specific birthdays, wanting information about a Pisces born on, say, March ninth, or February twenty second. This is just a reminder that I have a link for birthday profiles located on the blog’s homepage. It’s on the right side, and clicking it will bring you to a page with two more links. One for simplified birthday profiles, and another for more detailed birthday profiles. 

However, if you want, you could also search by adding “/tagged/MONTH_DAY#” at the end of the url. For example, 

http://piscesparadox.tumblr.com/tagged/March_2

That would take you directly to all my current information about Pisces born on March second.

Pisces: The Inner You

thezodiaczone:

You absorb impressions, images, and emotions from everything around you, and then filter them through your rose-colored view of how you’d like things to be. This is not to say you cannot deal with reality — it’s just that you like to think of life as an ultraromantic movie filled with happy endings and where everyone has the best possible motives. You’re a big bundle of feelings. You feel intense joy and happiness when you’re involved in a creative project or a loving relationship. The opposite is also true: you can suffer greater depths of sadness than most. Yet you’re tougher than most people think. Push you down and you keep bouncing back like a rubber bathtub toy. You’re charged with energy and get caught up in what’s going on around you. Your greatest strength is in giving to others; you’re always ready to help whoever needs you.

As a (very shy and quiet) Pisces female, would a more outgoing Leo male be a good match? I think I need someone to draw me out of my shell, but I'm worried he'll lose interest because I'm not as outgoing :(

Well, I’m inclined to say no. I think a Leo might, honestly, wind up not being sensitive enough to your needs— especially if you’re shy and quiet. And in return, you might feel hurt. Leo’s tend to be a little self-revolving, and it can be a bit of a struggle for them to remember to consider the needs of others. Additionally, Pisces might be difficult for a Leo to figure out. The Leo might have no idea what the Pisces needs are, especially if you’re shy and quiet. 

I’m inclined to believe that if you find someone who is similar to you, and therefore sensitive to your needs, you’ll gain a sense of confidence and therefore become more outgoing.

“Like the astrological sign of Pisces, The Moon is a deeply emotional card that is very subjective. Like the shadows on the card itself, it refers to a time of darkness prior to understanding, where everything seems menacing and larger than life.”—Pisces & The Moon (Major Arcana)

Just as a random note, if you were curious (though I suspect many of you know, especially those of you I’ve replied to privately)— silly-sibyl is another blog of mine. In fact, piscesparadox is a “sub-blog” to silly-sibyl. That’s why I reblog/redirect a lot of things from silly-sibyl.

What are some problems you, as a Pisces, commonly face?

c: I’d appreciate some answers— whether by a reply to this post, or if you send an ask. 

I’d like to do a new thing called “Pisces Problems” where I offer possible solutions to issues common for us Pisces. So, if you have something to contribute, I’d appreciate it a ton! <3

Tips for Pisces

thezodiaczone:

  • Believe in yourself.
  • As your imagination inspires you, create, create, create.
  • When you’re distracted or daydreaming, channel this into new projects.
  • Now and then pinch yourself so you know you’re a real person.
  • Learn to have as much compassion for yourself as you do for others.
  • Don’t escape into drugs or alcohol—spiral up, not down.
  • Consider the advice of the fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) you meet.

I'm definitely one of the Pisces that are in the alcoholism area. I always feel so awkward in party situations, so I grab drinks to make myself feel more comfortable. It's bad, I know, but sometimes I cannot help myself. I just can't find someone to talk to unless I have a buzz or something. I normally just stand in the background, if I'm not drinking. It's so frustrating because I really don't want to drink all that much. :/

:c I’m sure you’d find you don’t need alcohol to enable your social skills. I myself am unfamiliar with drinking, but I can understand if it gives you the illusion of confidence. If you honestly don’t want to drink all that much, why not try to find that confidence within yourself? It’s obviously not that easy, I know, but if you continuously reach for alcohol, you’ll never learn to socialize “healthily.” You could also try to avoid parties, even though that doesn’t really address the issue. ;; Personally, I think I have that “addict” personality, so I’ve made sure to never drink so I don’t develop an addiction.

Secret Pisces

thezodiaczone:

Anyone who has strong Piscean influences is a person who has perhaps the most extreme choices of any zodiac sign. Pisces can accept the challenges of life and rise to the top, or can give in to the easy way of oblivion and sink to the bottom. This choice is symbolized by the two fishes.

To help him or her swim to the top, the Pisces must find peace through beauty, music, and harmony.

The Pisces needs work which will enable him or her to achieve this. More than any other sign, Pisces has many talents which may be used to develop their character. Many work hard to improve the lot of humanity. Others bring their talents to film and entertainment, enlivening the lives of thousands.

Pisces needs to turn his/her private, mystical dream world of love and compassion into a reality. The only other option for a Pisces is a life of illusion and, ultimately, a sense of failure.

I'm a Libra girl chasing after a Pisces girl who lives across the country from me. How do I tell her I want a committed relationship, and how do we deal with the distance if she accepts?

This is a bit of a tough one. Simply, I don’t know the details of your current relationship. Are you close, as it is? Or, do you seem to have more of a crush and the Pisces is unaware of your feelings? Does the Pisces seem to have feelings for you? 

See, the thing is, if you confront a Pisces upfront with your feelings, there’s a strong likelihood they’ll flee from you. Forgive the horrible analogy: but fish are very slippery; you can’t really catch them in your hands with brute force. Even if the Pisces does have a crush on you, sudden confrontation might cause them to flee. In fact, the aspect of distance might be beneficial to you— perhaps confessing your feelings will make it easier on the Pisces. They might not feel as pressured, as they would face to face. 

I would take it slowly if you don’t think the Pisces has strong feelings for you currently. Build it up first, and then confess. Do it slowly, so as not to startle them and scare them off. 

As far as distance goes, just try and keep communication alive and strong.

I'm not sure if this is just me or a Pisces thing or whatever, but I get really bothered with people with egos, people who feel they're too good for others. I'd rather not be around them. I mean, confidence is good and I admire that, but I like it much more when someone isn't too annoying or loud, more genuine and humble and treats everyone the same. I just feel like so many people have big egos and wants attention :(

/was this meant to be submitted to be a confession? 

Personally? I do sympathize with you on the ego thing. I mean, for me, it’s more about disliking when people have a very “know-it-all” attitude, and they resist to new knowledge. And though that’s not really what you mentioned, maybe it can relate to overconfidence? And, well, I’d be hesitant to say it’s a “Pisces thing." 

Perhaps, as a Pisces— who are usually quite humble— people come across as having large egos because, well, their ego is simply a lot larger than yours? I mean, if you could measure such a thing (1-10)… If your ego was a 4, but the average ego is 6… It would be natural to feel as though "so many people” have big egos. To your 4, a 6 would seem large. c:
Am I making sense? haha.

Hi, I am currently in Love [to the tip of my fingers] with a Scorpio and I just want to be functional and not just seat and melt and only think about him anymore... Any insights? [I am a Pisces and he is currently so far away from me, physically.] Thank you.

If the physical distance between you two has caused you to become dysfunctional, I worry that you revolve yourself too much around the Scorpio and your love for him? Therefore, I would suggest working to change your lifestyle to aim towards more present, tangible things. Like yourself? I mean, it doesn’t do much good to fixate on aspects that only cause you grief. Involve yourself in things that bring you happiness; if you enjoy quality time with friends, hang out with a close friend. Of course, this isn’t to say to rid the Scorpio of your life, or anything. Communication is huge in relationships, especially when there’s physical distance between you. Many people use Skype to stay in contact, or other online messaging. Sadness, I think, is unavoidable… Just, don’t let your love turn into something that brings you constant grief.

So my Venus is in Aries and the guy I like Venus is in Libra, Can this work out?

I'm an Aquarius/Pisces cusp (Feb 20) and I've been searching around and it says that Pisces/Gemini are quite incompatible, yet, it's the opposite for an Aqaurius/Gemini? So, I was just wondering (in your opinion) what do you do when you're a cusp or how do you go about it? (I have traits of both Aq & Pis) It's so confusing and they both contradict each other. If it helps my Venus is an Aquarius?

Haha, as I was reading this the first bit of your message, thing I was going to say was “Look at your Venus!” But then, you conclude with telling me your Venus is in Aquarius. Now, I personally suggest looking up the exact degree of your sun. Before you panic, I’ll explain exactly what I mean and how to do that! See, your sun sign is where the sun is positioned upon your birth. So, even though your an Aquarius/Pisces cusp, the actual degrees for the cusp are “Approximately 26° Aquarius - 4°Pisces” So, I dunno, say you’re approximately 2° Pisces. Your sun would technically be in Pisces. You could look up the degree by looking up your birth chart. 

However. Since your Venus is in Aquarius, I’m going to bet that you might just happen to get along with air signs (Gemini, Aquarius, Libra). c: It’s a tricky thing being born on the cusp like that, trying to look up compatibility. It might just be easier to do compatibility that compares individual birthdays, like this one.

I recently read that Pisces are sexually delicate and can be almost asexual in nature. Is that true?

Well, I’m not too sure what you mean by “sexually delicate.” And, honestly, when it comes to Pisces, I’m a little ambivalent on their sexual nature! It’s like, on one hand, Pisces are said to “live and breathe romance,” so you’d think that many of us would be inclined to be quite sexual. And, truthfully, I have read much that Pisces are eager to sexually please their partner. However, I have met many Pisces who are quite asexual in nature.

Now, I’m going to go off on a weird sort of tangent, and feel absolutely free to disagree with me. I’m just sort of playing around with thoughts, here. Many people argue that “asexual behavior” stems from a disliking of the self. Though I certainly don’t think this is true for all asexuals, I can’t help but wonder if there’s something to be said for this with Pisces. Pisces do tend to suffer from low self-esteem. Secondly, I do think Pisces is quite fragile in this area; I mean, we tend to associate sexual behavior as something quite intimate. So I wonder if because of the way many Pisces view sexual behavior, and approach it as something “beautiful,” if maybe there’s likewise a sense of caution. Is that caution what is referred to when you say “sexually delicate”? I’m not sure. But with this caution, and the hypersensitive nature of Pisces, I can’t help but wonder if a Pisces might abstain from sexual behavior… thus giving the illusion of appearing asexual to others? When, in reality, if the Pisces simply warms up and forms a bond with a person, they’ll be more willing to show their sexual nature.

Again, I’m really just sort of toying around with my thoughts here. Feel absolutely free to disregard them, disagree with me, etc. 

But personally? I think Pisces tend to either fall to extremes in the spectrum of sexuality. Many can be rather flirtatious and sexual, I think; whereas others can portray a more asexual preference.

Pisces Confession:

Alright, bear with me, fellow Pisces. I think I have figured out what our superpower would be. It would be the ability to create illusions. To create worlds, fantasies, dreams. To create anything, really. But these are all simply illusions. Pisces long to live in their fantasies, in their illusions, rather than in reality. Our greatest weakness, as super heroes, would be our escapism. We would get too caught up in the illusion, and eventually fall victim to our own fantasies, lost forever in the illusions we create for ourselves.

I keep hearing how romantic Pisces are, I've never really felt like the romantic type. I'm a typical Pisces in every other way except the romance part.

I think I wrote up a post before about “romance” with Pisces where I addressed something similar to this. Being a romantic isn’t just about being fond of romance, or the “hopeless romantic” sort, which is where most people go when they hear the word “romantic." 

Consider this: Romantic "of, characterized by, or suggestive of an idealized view of reality: a romantic attitude toward the past." I want to emphasize that romantics have an idealized view of reality. And because you say you’re a typical Pisces in every other way except the "romance part"— I ask you to think about the other aspects of Piscean nature. Pisces are fond of escapism, because we hate reality. We see things in a rose-colored lens, which is very much idealistic.

c: So, really, being a romantic isn’t just about being lovey-dovey. There are different ways a Pisces can embody and portray this aspect, I think.

Do you know of any place where we can get a full birth chart done professionally?

Professionally? Um, no. I know in my area there are a lot of hole-in-the-wall places that offer palm readings, and things of that sort. But personally, I think that’s kind of a gamble. I know some people offer their services at county fairs, but that’s not “professional.” You might consider looking up online, and ordering a chart? There are professional charts you can order, I believe.
