Positive Traits:
• A good blend of emotional intelligence and grounded personality traits.
• You’re likely very compassionate and soothing— you don’t come off as emotionally unstable to others (as a Pisces with a moon in a water sign or a water rising might read), which gives you a very welcoming presence.
• You aren’t overly watery; you don’t need someone else to give you structure. You pretty much have that down by yourself.
• You’re very sensual, but don’t confuse this with the materialistic nature of many Taurus. I think this would show itself in an artistic way. More likely an art that you can see— like painting, or sculptures, as opposed to music or poetry. There’s an appreciation for it, or a hobby. I just think the artistic side of Pisces and the sensual, tangible nature of Taurus would form a more artist type in the way of painting or drawing, as opposed to music or writing.
Negative Traits:
• You’re probably overly cautious and hesitant. It’s not a bad thing all the time, you just like to be extra careful and like to know what you’re getting into.
• It’s really easy to make you worry, I think. Anxiety is probably a problem for you.
• From these three signs, it’s difficult to tell whether or not you’d be stubborn (Taurus) or really fickle (Pisces & Virgo). [I personally lean towards fickle?] Regardless, I think it’d be difficult for you to make a decision. You either weigh your options too much, or you’re too indecisive. Etc.
• I wonder if you live internally. Like, you’re hesitant to explore the “outside world.” You probably theorize and enjoy the “what if’s,” but I think these signs would suggest someone who doesn’t really journey outside themselves very much.
• They might even be over protective of their inner-most feelings (which is almost contradictory to the Pisces behavior). I think it’d also stem from a place of caution, and fear of being hurt.
Hey, just thought I’d post a little update here. I’m not ignoring your messages, or anything, okay? c: I’m sick right now, and I haven’t been doing much other than sleeping. I’ll reply when I’m coherent again. <3
“Are Pisces good at picking the right type of friends for them?”
Um, generally? Pisces tend to have rather iffy tastes in the people they keep around them. I mean, kind of? It’s like, we don’t discriminate so much as to who we keep around us— partly because most of us have a hard time saying no. So, we get a lot of different types of people who wind up being out friends. So, we get the good and the bad.
But also, Pisces tend to be drawn to people who need help. Pisces like to help, they tend to feel their best when they help. And, more often then not… this forms a relationship in which an individual is accustomed to the Pisces putting their needs first. I’m of the belief that you teach people how to treat you. So, if you unintentionally teach people that their needs are more important, the Pisces can often wind up being in friendships where their needs are overlooked. So, it’s not necessarily that Pisces are picking out bad people— but… like, since Pisces have such a hard time establishing boundaries and saying no, that they often get the short end of the stick. Even if the friend is genuinely a good person!
Does that make sense?
&& I’m going to use your first question and make a text post so people can reply and offer their input. <3
I haven’t read much into moons on a cusp, but I can infer the meaning. However, it sounds as though you’re a rather well balance individual— that is, assuming your cusps are truly … cusps. I mean, sometimes a cusp individual resonates more with one sign more than the other. So, it’s difficult to really say. But, approaching it as though you are more of a blend of the two? And then considering you have a water/air sun and a earth/fire moon? It sounds like a rather fortunate combination.
It seems like you’d be a type of individual with a good mix of dreams/ideals and the actual means to get it done. A lot of the times, signs like Pisces & Aquarius have a harder time following through on their goals because they are spiritual signs. However, Aries/Taurus are both physical signs. Therefore, you probably have an easier time following through with your goals than other Pisces/Aquarius. You’re probably not an “All Talk and No Show” kind of person— even though you might get accused of it. Like, you probably have high goals and expectations, and people might think you’re not serious, or you won’t ever really get up and fulfill your actions— but I’d be willing to think your moon sign proves those people wrong. You’re not just “All Talk” and you’re more than willing to put things into action.
I think you might lean towards the impulsive side, but you do definitely think about your actions before you do them. —Like, perhaps you don’t think about them enough. Or finish the thought. Or take the thoughts far enough. Like, it becomes an itch you need to scratch, so despite taking the time to think about your actions— you act a little too soon. That, to me, is still a little impulsive. Others might not consider it impulsive, but I’m not too sure what else to call it. I think that would be a trait of an Aries Moon, and a lot of Aquarius I know like to jump into things. However, Taurus are cautious people. So, it’s like an odd, contradicting mix. But I think it generally works out for you. You don’t appear too hesitant, or too cautious. It’s just the right amount of planning— but perhaps it leans towards impulsive. (as opposed to leaning towards hesitance) (Like, think of it on a spectrum?)
I think you probably relate to people well, and sympathize with them well. (Though, you might not feel like they relate to you, which might sometimes cause distance)
It is difficult for me to tell. I’m kind of being really general here, because if you identify more with one sign than the other… I’m going to be completely off. :c
Haha, I’ve heard that a lot actually. A lot of my Pisces friends prefer Earth signs, and absolutely love Capricorns. Personally, I’d be worried that they wouldn’t be as physically affectionate (both verbally and with displays of affection) as I’d like them to be.
I read somewhere a while back that Pisces generally have better marriage rates with Earth Signs as opposed to Water Signs, because Earth Signs offer the structure and stability Pisces need to stay grounded. (no pun intended) It makes sense, c: and I think Earth Signs can be a very practical, lovely match for Pisces.
Haha, this is so bizarre for me. I’m not used to people coming to me, asking about their bad traits. You see, this goes against the core reasoning as to why I even started this blog. o___o Because as Pisces, I think there’s a general lack of appreciation for the self, so I felt it important to encourage Pisces to love themselves, and celebrate their Piscean nature.
So, to be asked about the bad traits takes me back a little. I mean, funny enough, whenever I take something like a personality test— be it MBTI or Enneagram, or something— I make sure to thoroughly digest the bad traits so I can work on improving them. So, I don’t necessarily think it’s weird to be asking about bad traits. I’m just a little surprised?
ANYWAYS. I think your combination would make you a little prone to be a blunt personality. Pisces, generally, tend to sugar coat things. They think “practicality, and being sensitive to the emotions of others," ought-weighs being honest and truthful. You, however, I think perhaps value being honest and truthful over the other individual’s sensitivity. This isn’t to say you’re insensitive, or something. In fact, I generally think this does come from a good place— it just ends up with a negative response from others. Why? Frankly, a lot of people are put off by bluntness.
Your combination would suggest you’re opinionated, and passionately so. I don’t necessarily think you’re impulsive, but rather you are quite logical with your opinions. You have a lot of practicality behind your opinions, and though you aren’t necessarily opposed to listening to others try and use their logic to give other sides of a debate… it will probably take a lot to change your mind once you’ve made it up. People probably view you as stubborn because of this, but you’re simply very passionate and have a lot of reasoning to this passion. In fact, in daily life with trivial things— you might be on the indecisive side. You see, Pisces & Gemini are mutable, they’re indecisive. Which I think would show itself in silly ways, like, "What ice cream do I get? There are sooo many choices!” But Scorpio is a Fixed sign, and it’s your moon. I’m inclined to think on things that are important to you, like the “big decisions,” you become very stubborn (once you’ve settled on something). Anything you’re passionate about, I imagine you have very strong opinions on that you’re relatively unchanging about. That is why you’d be called stubborn.
I think you’d be very emotional (which isn’t a bad thing), but I wonder if you occasionally lose touch with the ability to communicate and translate your emotions to others. Like, you know you feel something— say sadness— but maybe you can’t completely tell why you’re upset.
I do worry you might occasionally come off as condescending to others. Scorpios tend to be rather full of themselves, as do Geminis. I think it might be a subconscious thing, and primarily seen in your body language, tone, word-usage, etc. I also imagine you’re a rather defensive person, and might have a hard time seeing when you’re wrong, or perhaps just admitting when you’re wrong.
AH. See, this to me is much more clear. Before, I couldn’t tell if you meant you were usually very absent minded, or… well, you read it. ;; Haha.
Oh, but, I think this is very Pisces-like! I mean, yes, we’re typically very imaginative, thoughtful, and creative. But, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be day-dreaming constantly. Pisces are quite susceptible to bouts of depression and low self-esteem. I mean, there’s not just positive traits to Pisces, there’s negative traits, too… and what you described there is certainly some of the negative traits a lot of Pisces deal with.
However, if this is truly something you think about all the time, I do suggest looking into therapy.
I’m very devoted to being compassionate and of service, so when I have to turn someone down from something they really want but is harmful to me, it not only fills me with guilt–it wrenches my soul.
This is a difficult question for me.
So, I’m going to revise it! Hahaha. My closest friends: a Virgo, an Aquarius, a Taurus, & a Pisces.
Do I think it means anything? It could mean a lot, and it could mean a lot of nothing. c: What could probably tell you more, or perhaps offer more insight, is that I don’t really have any friends who are fire signs.
Okay, so, for whatever reason Anon… this is really confusing me.
Are you saying you’re absent minded a lot of the time, or are you frequently “aloof, while also thinking about insecurities and your worries.” Like, I couldn’t tell. You say you’re “really absent,” but you also say you’re occupied with your insecurities and worries— I’m getting mixed messages. Do you associate these preoccupations with insecurities/worries as being absent? Are you actually referring to dissociative behaviors? … Am I over-thinking this and just making myself look absolutely ridiculous?
… THESE, ANON, ARE MY THOUGHTS.
This reply is useless. I’m sorry, anon, I’m unsure how to direct my answer. Could you perhaps… maybe… help resolve my confusion? By either addressing what I mentioned, rewording what you wrote, etc? I do wish to provide you with a thoughtful response, but I’m unsure exactly what you desire of me. :c
Wait wait wait.
You want me to tell you… your bad traits? Or is this a yes or no question? Um, yes, I could. But… do you actually want to hear the bad things about this combination, anon? I’m just not accustomed to people coming to me, asking about the bad things about their signs… o___o
I’ll tell you, anon, because I don’t want to hassle you with messaging me again— but just understand that I’m not accusing you of definitely having these traits. I don’t know you, you don’t know me. I’m just speaking strictly to astrology. Okay?
I imagine someone with these combinations would be rather adventurous, at least for a Pisces. Unfortunately, I think perhaps with this comes a bit of impulsivity. All three of these signs are mutable, so you’re probably very indecisive. You know, the type who’s more comfortable before they make a decision? Because, once you try to settle on something, it’s, “Did I make the right decision? What if something better comes along? What if I can’t commit to this?” Which leads me to my next trait— commitment. There’s not necessarily a fear of commitment, but a hesitance. Anxiety and restlessness are probably problems, too. I wonder if you’d get “stuck” in your head a lot. I have a hard time explaining what I mean by this (but if you resonate with this, you’ll understand, I think). But, I suppose what I mean is you might get very… mental. Like, you’d get stuck on a concept or idea, and perhaps become unable to see a bigger picture, and then become unwilling to move forward or change. Also when “stuck,” I think perhaps you might forget to be sensitive to the emotions of others [common with Gemini & Sagittarius] (which might take you by surprise! I think when you’re not “stuck” it’s very easy to see a larger picture and be sensitive to emotions, as a Pisces).
Lastly, you might occasionally be accused of being naive (mainly due to your moon in sagittarius).
Sometimes I firmly believe that I’m too intense for any partner. Like my romantic behaviors just scare instead of express the magnitude in which I love a person.
^ I actually meant to say something to this affect before I responded, but I got distracted. ;; which reminds me I need to go take my adderal oops.
I know a lot of Taurus who move on from relationships very quickly. I’m not sure if it’s a “rule of thumb,” but I do know that Taurus who feel hurt can be very stubborn.
It means your Venus Sign is in Aries.
…
…
hahahaha. Okay,
so, the Venus Sign tells us how we approach relationships, and what gives us the most pleasure out of relationships.
Venus rules our sentiments, what we value, and the pleasure we take in life. Grace, charm, and beauty are all ruled by Venus. Through Venus, we learn about our tastes, pleasures, artistic inclinations, and what makes us happy.
My Venus is also in Aries— which for the longest time I was like, “No. This is… horribly inaccurate.” But then I found out it was squared by Neptune and all was right in the world again. Which actually is still hilarious because nothing is “right in the world” if you’re squared by Neptune. Hahaha. Astrology humor. I’m such a nerd.
Anyways, it means that Aries guides how you approach relationships, basically. If you’d like to read more about Venus in Aries, read here. c: If that sounds completely blasphemous to you— and in fact the antithesis of you… I’d suggest looking into getting a natal chart to see if your Venus is also squared by Neptune.
Appeal to his sensual side. Try to make yourself look as appealing as you can— good hygiene, maybe a nice perfume. Maybe buy yourself a new, flattering, but classy, shirt/pant/etc that will catch his eye. I don’t mean to sound somehow shallow, but Taurus are notedly attracted to sensuality and individuals who are especially attractive.
Also, though, you said “I just broke up with” … ? So, you broke up with him? Um, why not just talk to him, then? I mean, I’m really naive when it comes to relationships— but what’s stopping you from just talking to him and telling him it was “an impulsive decision” and ask him if he’d consider taking you back… ? Or, um, is that not something people do?
Why not try to come out of your comfort zone? I mean, you said you’re trying to appear detached… so, well, stop trying. That’s easier said than done, I suppose, but if this guy just isn’t buying it— then you have to make yourself clear. Not just by words, but with your overall presence. It doesn’t have to be a huge change, or anything, just try to do little things to get his attention that you wouldn’t normally do?
Well, I do think— and I have read in multiple sources— that Pisces need the affirmation that they are loved. Perhaps Pisces are attention seekers? Though, I do not think it is in the way people typically mean it. As you said, you want to make sure the people you love, are loving you. That your feelings are reciprocated. Whereas, I think most people use the term “attention seeker” to refer to individuals who do impulsive things, or say provoking things to get the attention of others. So perhaps “secret attention seeker” was very appropriate of you to say.
I mean, I personally don't sympathize with this. Whereas I do feel as though I put my all into my friendships (as I’ve never been in a relationship), I don’t look/crave that constant affirmation I’ve read that Pisces notoriously need. I’m willing to think it’s normal, in the sense that a good amount of Pisces feel this way. Likewise, I think it’s very appropriate to want your loved ones to reciprocate your feelings.
I always get way too attached to people and to things in general, and it’s always the most painful experience when I have to leave them, even if I’m not aware that I’m so attached. It always comes too late because I can be so stubborn with love even though I’m really a passionate lover at heart.
GAH! My best friend is a Capricorn and I’m head over fins right now in love with him! I think its because he has the need to protect me. But he’s very un-open to a relationship right now and I have no idea how he feels about me. I’m getting antsy, I don’t know if he’s going to keep letting me swim in circles around him…
Pisces are hypersensitive, yes. As are Cancers. Both Pisces and Cancers are said to be “the most sensitive” of the Zodiac.
It really depends on how you’re using the term “sensitive,” too. Sensitive emotionally? Sensitive to the emotions of the people around you? Sensitive to your environment? I see many people say that Cancers are most sensitive to have their emotions hurt, whereas Pisces are most sensitive to the emotions of others, and their environment.
Read this? I think it covers Pisces/Scorpio pretty well.
Haha, do most of us want this pair? I mean, I’m biased about it. But, I know some Pisces who dislike Scorpios because of their intensity, or simply find them to be too intimidating. I know many Pisces who prefer being with earth signs, because they enjoy being grounded.
Anyways, a male x male combination I don’t think would be any different then a male x female combination. It’s quite compatible. c:
Nope. :c Only Pisces. Sorry. <3
Here, read this. It basically covers all of the points of a Pisces/Aquarius relationship and why it has a hard time working. If you and your boyfriend have been successful, that’s great. c: It just goes to show how much of a bond you two have. In my opinion, if two people have overcome their natural differences, their bond becomes incredibly intense.
True fact, indeed.
Especially if they’re the dove/phoenix totem.
* before you guys even ask. there’s no totems for Pisces.
* Scorpio is the only sign with totems, to my knowledge.
are you even serious anon.
do you even follow me anon.
I AM SO BIASED TOWARDS THIS PAIR IT’S RIDICULOUS.
… YES.
Certainly. c: Someone told me once my best match would actually be a Gemini. I mean, I disagreed— I’m so Scorpio biased that, like, it has to be a Scorpio. (and even if it was an air sign, I think a Libra would be better for me than a Gemini). BUT ANYWAYS. POINT BEING. I’m a Pisces, who has actually been told that she’d work best with a Gemini. But again I disagree.
I think if a Pisces had a Venus in Aries, or maybe if the Gemini had their Venus in Cancer… or if the Gemini had their moon in Pisces, etc,
shglhxf. YES. It could work.
Wow, leave it to me to ramble on over a yes/no question.
Sun signs are just your basic sign. So, the girl you said is “A pisces but she’s a gemini moon.” Her sun is a Pisces, because she was born between February 19 and March 20. Look on my page for the links to calculate your moon & ascendant. c: They’re right above the “Keep Calm and Pisces On."
Also, if you’re curious and want to read about sun signs, moon signs, and the ascendant, please look at the Astrology 101 link. c: I have different posts dedicated to each. <3
I’ve fallen in love with two Gemini women consecutively, and as a Pisces, they have unbelievably hurt me to the point of no forgiveness, ever. If the next woman I start to have feelings for is a Gemini, I might just run the other way.
c: But please look on the page and use the links, please. <3
I’m sure someone, somewhere has done a “which signs each zodiac is likely to hang out with.” I’m of the belief that there are traits in each sign that Pisces would value. I know, personally, there are signs I enjoy more than others— but, it’s always more of a coincidence.
Maybe I’ll do a quick-chart of that… What Pisces would value from each sign? And people who feel like submitting their input as to what they value from each sign could do so, too? “ie: Aries: Pisces might admire the way Aries can put their thoughts into action. Being around them might inspire a Pisces to be more forceful.” I dunno.
• careless?
Well, Pisces can be notably lazy. Many people associate “lazy” and “careless” with one another, so… sure. It could be normal. I mean, if you have no passion or desire for what it is you’re doing, I think it’s very Pisces-like to become careless. It’s difficult for us to invest ourselves in something we don’t feel truly passionate about.
• selfish?
No, it’s not particularly normal. Pisces are a very giving sign, who put the needs of others in front of their own, typically.
Pisces & Libra. c:
I will say though, I think out of all three air signs, Pisces would have the most successful relationship with a Libra. (as opposed to Gemini or Aquarius)
Okay, I don’t even use gender or sex when I do compatibility. Personally? I don’t think it makes too much of a difference? I mean, I know my belief and take on gender is different than a lot of people (you see, I believe our bodies are simply skin suits, and our souls are genderless). So, personally, I’m not even sure what same-sex or different-sex has to do with compatibility? But, I mean, I understand not everyone approaches it that way, and many people value different sex-orientated compatibility interpretations…
Therefore, regardless of your sex,
Pisces/Leo tends to not be a very good relationship. On one hand, many Leos thrive on generosity and Pisces are quite giving as well— but the way they express it differs (Leos tend to only do things that suit them, or they agree with, whereas Pisces are more flexible). And then you think of Leo, who tends to love attention… which, well, as a Pisces, this is fine and dandy! Pisces generally don’t mind giving the spotlight over to someone else.
However, Leo’s tend to not be too aware of the emotional needs of others. They tend to be a little egocentric that way— you know, me-centered. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, they just can forget to check in with the needs of others. And Pisces don’t make their needs known by others. We tend to… hope people magically understand what we’re going through, and hope they meet our needs. And with a Leo, more often then not, they aren’t going to meet that need.
This will leave a Pisces as emotionally unsatisfied, and they won’t feel as though they truly connect with the Leo. At least not on a deep, passionate level.
Your boyfriends sounds like the most watery man alive. I just want to pinch his cheeks. Hahaha! c: Good, I’m happy you two are doing well. <3
As friends, sure.
And … as far as “possibly more?”
Well, Pisces/Cancer is compatible. However, your moons aren’t compatible and I think the way you two would address and approach emotions would be very different. I don’t think the two of you would see eye-to-eye on a lot, and there might be a lot of bickering. The Pisces has a lot of fire, which might not work well with the feminine traits of the cancer/virgo… but if the Pisces resonates well with their feminine sign, as opposed to their masculine leo, it could be possible?
But, I’m inclined to lean towards no. :c
I’m a miss, & thank you. c:
Generally, Pisces/Aquarius doesn’t work out. So, as a double Pisces and a double Aquarius? I’m inclined to think this wouldn’t work out. :c The Pisces wouldn’t feel emotionally satisfied or connected with the Aquarius; we Pisces tend to love the idea of “oneness” and “becoming one” with our partner, whereas Aquarius would detest this idea because of how much they value their independence. Likewise, Aquarius would feel suffocated by the Pisces, and how clingy they tend to be. :c
Well, if you’re fifteen this might just be your hormones. I mean, with teenagers it’s kind of difficult to tell if it’s a “Pisces thing,” I think… because, well, hormones are through the roof. Most teens have crushes left and right because of what’s going on physiologically. I can tell you in my teenage years, I didn’t have many crushes (but I’ve also heard that males are incredibly horny in their teens, whereas women have the same physiological experience once they’re in their mid-twenties?), likewise, I’ve been on medication that notably reduces testosterone and reduces sex drive.
Anyways, I think some Pisces do fall very easily for people. Pisces generally feel very misunderstood, so when we find someone we feel attracted to, I think it’s easy for us to fall head over heels. However, I think some of us just as equally put love on a pedestal, and become standoff-ish when it comes to developing crushes. Like, we “hold out” because we keep waiting “for the right one.” Some of us do both!
This was a confusing response, wasn’t it?
Are you depressed? Have you ever been looked at for symptoms of depression? I’m no psychiatrist, of course, but I do know that what you described is very common in people who deal with depression. Is it common for Pisces? Well, I suppose so, considering Pisces are prone to depression.
As far as what I do to try and force myself to become passionate… ? Well, I don’t feel comfortable forcing myself. I feel as though I’m lying to myself, and that doesn’t sit right with me. When it comes to my studies, I’m a complete perfectionist (who doesn’t even believe in perfection). So, for me, it’s not even that I feel passionate with my studies— it’s more like if I don’t do my work, I become really stressed, anxious, etc. Maybe I ought to be fortunate for that?
But, yes, I do think what you said is very typical of people who deal with depression. So, if you’ve never seen a doctor about that and have the ability to, I think it might be worthwhile to look into that.
Yes, I feel what you described is quite normal.
About “feeling like it’s my need to be heard and appreciated,” I believe many Pisces feel at their best when they feel truly appreciated. Unfortunately sometimes Pisces get a bad reputation for being attention seeks because of this.
Anyways, yes, I think what you described is very Pisces-like.
I think most tricks to solve nervousness involve “positive thinking.” I think it’s very key for a Pisces to sincerely believe the words they would be saying to themselves. So, some people would try to think logically about the situation they’re in— but as a Pisces, if you don’t really feel it and believe it, I don’t think it’ll make a difference.
But believe it or not, breathing exercises will work if you manage to do them. I know if panic gets to you, it can become difficult to control your breathing… but I swear, if you can manage to control it, it works. Deep breathing has components that will slow down your (body’s) system. So, even though it’s terribly cliche… if you practice breathing exercises, doing that before— and if you can, during— presentations… It ought to help.
Oh gosh. ….. Maybe?
I mean, okay, Pisces and Virgo are opposing signs, and really don’t get along compatibility wise most of the time. But if the Pisces identifies strongly with their Scorpio ascendant, they might enjoy the stability of the relationship the Virgo/Capricorn can offer.
I would worry that the Pisces/Scorpio wouldn’t feel like the Virgo/Capricorn is affectionate enough, and that might cause problems… and, again, the Pisces/Virgo combination tends to be very rocky.
I think it might be tough to get going, but if you can overcome your differences, this is potentially a very committed relationship.
… I think I stared at my left hand/wrist/arm for a good five minutes after reading this. Hahahaha.
Definitely! c: These two signs are both very creative and peaceful, and I have many Libra friends myself. <3
I think this might work pretty well, actually. :u
I’m a little hesitant with the Aries ascendant, but I think the idea of a Pisces with a Gemini Ascendant with a Libra could be potentially very rewarding. c:
