Well, WaterxAir— as a rule of thumb— tends to be quite a turbulent relationship. I’d say the odds are, more or less, against you. Before I completely discourage you and make you think there’s no hope or something— why not look into your Venus sign? I’m a Pisces, but my Venus is in Aries. AriesxLibra are compatible. Check out more of your, and their, chart? Sun sign compatibility isn’t a whole lot to go on. But, seriously? Every sign has a chance with each other. Promise. <3
c: Just answered this. Look here?
march second. <3
Thanks! c:
Well, Pisces and Virgo are opposing signs! Most of us have heard the saying “opposites attract,” right? That’s kind of what’s at play, here. I, personally, for the most part? Disagree with that age-old saying. In love? I think it’s good to have a common foundation. I mean, I don’t want to be dating a carbon copy of myself, obviously! But, um, for the most part? Yeah, I’d like to have someone who’s more relatable than not. With that said, a VirgoxPisces has a lot of odds against them. But all that means is if you can manage to overcome these differences, your bond shall become stronger. <3 So, why not?
Personally, I think this is a pair that seems very sweet and innocent. A pair more focused on actual feelings of love than anything else. This to me seems like the type of relationship that must’ve bloomed out of friendship, simply because of how shy both signs tend to be! Or, in the instances Pisces are sociable, the mere fact both signs are just so wishy-washy and lack the ability to really initiate anything. Again, this just seems so sweet. It seems like a very rare love, mainly because these two signs are very shy & quiet (as I said). However, their bond I think is quite remarkable. I think perhaps this bond would be prone to altruistic qualities? This is to say both of these signs sacrifice a lot for their lover. Other signs don’t do this as often, I don’t think, and that might play into what makes a PiscesxCancer relationship so strong.
c: aw, thank you! <3
HOT. No, sorry, I’m seriously incredibly biased when it comes to PiscesxScorpio. It’s kind of unhealthy. There IS a lot I’ve read in favor of this pairing that suggests that it has very fantastical qualities. Things like, “it’s a pairing a lot of people only dream of.” They’re two signs that are very passionate and intense. However, I’ve also read they tend to be more “on again, off again.” They’re two signs that have an incredibly amount of potential to be something absolutely amazing together. To me, I’ve always pictured them as a “poet and a muse” kind of relationship, but it works both ways. I’m really just rambling here. I shouldn’t be answering these messages, I’m so tired.

Hi there, I love your blog, your predictions are dead on! I was wondering if you could give me a compatibility for February 27th female and March 11th male. Thanks!!!
— fanyrich227
Oh, thanks so much! c: Haha, they’re not so much predictions? More of… intuitive guesses, really.
If by “give you a compatibility” you’re referring to the percentages I’ve given others, I’d need the birth years, c: but just by going off the dates? That’s a PiscesxPisces match. I’ve met a lot of people who somehow got it in their head that it’s not good to date your own sign, but that’s not true at all! PiscesxPisces can be very satisfying. c: You both understand your needs, and can satisfy your wants well.
PiscesxPisces. c: It ought to be fine. A lot of people seem to believe you don’t mix well with your own sign, but that’s totally untrue. However, the March 20th Pisces is a cusp, so as a rule of thumb you might possess those headstrong Aries traits? So I’d say to be wary of hurting the other Pisces feelings with your boldness, if it is indeed a trait you possess. c:
Probably, yes? Capricorns and Pisces are usually quite compatible. My first concern would be to wonder if the Pisces perhaps has a Venus in Aries, and if they do… the combination of fire and the Capricorn might end badly, but just going off of sun signs here, c: there’s certainly a strong chance they can work well together.
MARCH THIRTEENTH
Strengths: Accepting. Courageous. Evolving.
Weaknesses: Overreaching. Self-Important.
Tarot Card: Death
Personality
Those born on March 13 lead fateful lives, which in retrospect could be said to have turned around a few chance happenings. Most individuals born on this day strongly believe in predetermined occurrences, moreover, and are prone to making predictions about the world and the lives of others. There is something of the oracular about much of what March 13 people say. They often utter their analyses of the world and its problems with a kind of knowing finality. The more intellectual of March 13 people are attracted to philosophy, spiritual teachings, theoretical speculations and scientific or analytical systems; they tend to worship the human mind and what it is capable of producing, yet reserve an even higher awe for the Universe of which it is only a small part.
Those born on this day are capable of surviving what would be overwhelming catastrophes for most people, be they physical, economic or psychological disasters (particularly true for men born on this day). Because of their fatalism, March 13 people of both sexes are able to accept the blows of fate without complaint and go on to lead highly creative and productive lives. In many cases, before these events occur March 13 people are not fully aware of their talents or fortitude. Thus such trying circumstances can serve as a sort of baptism, or rite of passage, which not only furthers their growth but also instills pride and grit that can be called upon in future difficulties. They may even come to better understand themselves and their life path.
Personal evolution and growth is something that is built into the basic fabric of the March 13 personality, so that almost all people born on this day progress in an evolutionary fashion without much choice in the matter. However, many get sidetracked along the way due to an attraction to the esoteric and metaphysical energies which they can’t fully handle. Such individuals tread on dangerous ground when they pretend to master or even to understand matters beyond them at the present moment, but even this serves as an important part of their development, no matter how great their failures. One of their wishes is to be an inspiration to others, and to find those who can benefit from what they have to say.
In general, March 13 people should resist making predictive statements or even thinking certain thoughts about individuals close to them, since they thereby may unknowingly influence the course of future events. So-called self-fulfilling prophecies can be, in their case, nothing more than a strong set of expectations. However, not only dreams but also nightmares have a way of coming true if dwelled on too much.
Meditation
The present periodically splits into various paths, each a potentially fruitful avenue of exploration
I’ve gotten so many messages today. <3
I’m pretty tired, though. So, those of you I didn’t get around to, I’ll hopefully get to tomorrow! (though Tuesdays are really busy for me, so no promises.)
Tomorrow, when you wake up and go outside, you shall see in the sky— TWO SUNS! Haha, no. I don’t see the future, anon! But I do hope your birthday goes splendidly. <3
Oh, thanks! c: <3
A PiscesxCapricorn match is another sign Pisces is said to have great marriage rates with. Personally, I think this pair can go either way very easily. Capricorns tend to struggle with displaying their emotions. Now, this can either not be a problem at all with Pisces, or it could be a huge problem! It really depends, I think, on the “empathic” quality Pisces are said to possess. If the Pisces is truly empathic, the Capricorn might not even need to display their emotions! The Pisces can simply understand. Which works out well for the Capricorn. However, some Pisces aren’t as well in-tune with this, and might need the Capricorn to give them the affection many Pisces need (to feel loved, useful, etc). So it can be a bit of a hit or miss, depending on the individual.
haha, this is the test i’m using. c: anywho, this is what it had to say:
36% A relationship between hell and heaven: your couple may prove a real challenge for both of you, and you may have to struggle to make it last. With determination and courage, you can turn your relationship into a very significant source of evolution and joy, in which case you will remain together for many long years. You are both of a very different nature and therefore, adjusting to each other is necessary. You must look before you leap, lest you unwillingly hurt your partner’s sensitivity. If you think in terms of “mobility”, “flexibility”, and “mutual understanding", in most cases, you can meet the challenge of your wonderful love story.
Which I agree with? WaterxAir are— by rule of thumb— a very turbulent match, after all.
Personally? I’d be willing to consider March 17th a cusp date. However, most sources seem to consider March 19-24th the actual cusp dates. Regardless, look here if you’re curious. March 17th is technically in the third decan, however, which you can read about here. c: Hope that helped!
Okay, I’m totally biased about this pair. I’m totally in LOVE with the idea of a PiscesxScorpio, but the two obviously have their flaws. As you said, Scorpio might be very mean and can make a Pisces cry. Unfortunately, a Scorpio is going to have the tendency to be a lot more rigid when compared to a Pisces— normally, in the heat of the moment? It’s going to be easier to just let Scorpio have their way, which can in-turn make Pisces feel like a total push-over. I suggest having an intimate sit-down with the Scorpio, and perhaps making sure he understand your needs? There’s SO much potential for the PiscesxScorpio relationship to be deep and fulfilling to both individuals, it just takes time, patience, and understanding on both sides.
cheated again, c: here’s what a compatibility index had to say:
74% Your relationship is very smooth, and few things are likely to harm your fundamental harmony. We could even say it is pretty remarkable, not far from being exceptional… Sometimes, but in really rare occasions, and rather owing to elements that are external to your personalities, some frictions can occur, but in the majority of cases they will be solved easily. It is undoubtedly an extremely encouraging index for your continuation, you can really go for it: happiness is within your reach!
Oh, thank you so much. c: It’s a lot of work some times, but I’m glad to hear you enjoy it. <3
PiscesxAries has the potential to be harmonious. c: However, Pisces being a feminine sign, and Aries being a masculine sign, it’s likely the odds won’t be in your favor. However, don’t like that dissuade you. In my opinion, the more likely you are to fail— and therefore the more you have to overcome— the stronger your bond will be. <3
c: thanks, firstly. <3
Well, the TaurusxPisces relationship is one I’m, personally, kind of ambivalent with. Apparently TaurusxPisces have great marriage rates. And usually Taurus are really great at grounding a Pisces. And I think this is a couple that works well in theory? But maybe sometimes is a bit odd when … actually applied…
In your case, I’m even more hesitant. Your a Pisces-Aries cusp, giving you that stubborn edge that Aries has. And Taurus is already pretty darn stubborn, too. Thus, the potential for arguments. I mean, I personally have the mind to believe that when people are in relationships they change a little? If you think there’s a chance, go for it. Don’t let astrology dictate your love life. c:
I cheated and used a compatibility index:
63% Your relationship is smooth, and everything is possible. You simply need to adjust to each other and you can easily do so. It only takes a minimum of warmth and mutual understanding for your couple to function steadily in spite of some rare disagreements. You must turn your marvelous relationship into a success love story because you have all the necessary keys and assets to this end. So, go for it!
Feeling lost for you, in your case, I’m willing to bet has something to do with your age. You’re seventeen now that your birthday has past, right? Goodness, given your age I’d be a bit worried if you didn’t feel lost. I don’t know where you live of course, but I’m willing to bet your in an area where you’ll soon be leaving a high school of some kind, going off to college? Parents/Guardians are expecting you to make something of yourself? But, you’re only seventeen— how on earth are you supposed to make life decisions right now? That would certainly cause anyone to feel lost.
However, just saying you feel kind of “lost” is a bit too vague. :c Lost… socially? Do you feel distant from everyone? Do you feel as though you’ve lost yourself? Perhaps you don’t even quite know what “type” of lost you are. And maybe that’s the first step for you? To identify, more-specifically, in what manner you feel lost. Unless you feel you already know? In which case, you’re welcome to message me again. c:
MARCH TWELFTH
Strengths: Daring. Intense. Visionary.
Weaknesses: Reckless. Unstable. Foolhardy.
Tarot Card: The Hanged Man
Personality
The courageous, determined individuals born on this day are tough enough to withstand the setbacks and disappointments of life and later make use of their seasoned experience. Struggle is no stranger to March 12 people, who seem to thrive on overcoming obstacles of all kinds. They are somehow able to take whatever natural abilities they have been given and drive them to the limit. Not infrequently they have a strong vision or concept of what kind of person they wish to be.
However, it is important that March 12 people keep themselves directed, for they tend to be multi-talented, and as such are vulnerable to scattering their energies. Those born on this day who find themselves carried away, first to this interest and then that, would do well to at least limit themselves to related fields within one industry or profession.
Most March 12 people are undaunted by risky ventures, and even leap into situations which most people avoid at all costs. Perhaps they believe that the greatest rewards are granted to those who have the faith to lay everything on the line. However, there is also no denying that danger in and of itself attracts them, as does controversy. They secretly enjoy being the subject of conversation, though they may deny it. Often March 12 people give the impression of wanting nothing better than to be left alone in their secretive, private world—that is, until they suddenly reveal themselves and what they are doing, and even flaunt it!
March 12 people usually believe in what lies beyond the here and now—in other worlds, other planes of existence, other realities. Yet the image they present is quite hard-headed and down-to-earth. They have a way of combining the physical and the metaphysical, reveling in the former but being intelligent enough to ultimately put it in service of the latter. Somewhere in the back of their minds they know that all of life is transitory. Whether they are religious or have strong spiritual leanings or not, they recognize that there are timeless principles and forms which stand behind this passing show. Hence, the more intellectual of March 12 people demonstrate a remarkable capacity to think on an abstract level.
Certain enthusiastic March 12 people must be careful of getting carried away by their faith in unearthly happenings. Until they have developed a deep understanding of metaphysical and esoteric principles, they will tend to undermine their emotional stability if they overindulge in such thoughts. A simultaneous development of worldly and spiritual goals usually suits them better, enhancing their daily life and promoting the stability needed for metaphysical ruminations. Balance is the key to reducing the dangers associated with such leaps of thought and action.
Meditation
Caution should not be mistaken for cowardice
I know a few of you have sent me asks for advice, I want to make sure you know I’m not ignoring you. c: I’m just having some problems of my own, okay? And it’s a little difficult trying to respond to you guys when my mind’s all cluttered up. I promise I’ll reply when I feel better. <3
* also, I hope to get around to making those “pisces traits” picture posts some time soon. Bah, school & life, always in the way of things!
Every sign has a chance, c: I promise. Sun sign compatibility are like loose guidelines. If it makes you feel any better, my mother and father are an Aries&Taurus, which by rule of thumb are horrendous. But they have the strongest bond out of every married couple in my family! Plus, it’s not just about your sun sign when it comes to love in astrology. c: You have to consider your moon sign, venus sign, and even your ascendant. If you like the guy, and he likes you, go for it sweetie. <3
Well, after re-reading the February 23 birthday profile [/because your message doesn’t give me entirely too much to work off of, unfortunately], it seems like people born on your birthdate like to have a more-or-less realistic view of things? To me, this translates to a… balance between “feet on the ground” and “head in the clouds.” You know the saying, right? I think Pisces would feel suffocated if their head weren’t in the clouds at least a little— but perhaps you like to make sure your feet are still on the ground, too! Er, what I’m trying to get at here, is perhaps you feel as though you’ve lost your footing. It’s my understanding of Pisces, that many of us don’t care /too/ much when we don’t have a firm understanding of our feelings. But this upsets you, clearly. “They’re all over the place.” Which to me makes me wonder if that balance between “head in the clouds” and “feet on the ground” has been thrown off because of this guy. Am I on target so far?
IF this is true… maybe instead of focusing on the “what” of your feelings, you ought to simply be focusing on grounding yourself again. I suspect that maybe if you can find a way to get your “feet back on the ground,” you’ll feel a whole lot less anxious. And, typically? If your mind is less tainted by feelings of anxiety, worry, struggle, etc. you’ll more-easily be able to identify what you’re feeling.
How do you ground yourself, you might be wondering? Well, speaking from experience: I meditate, walk around barefoot in the grass— I just relax. Unwind. I let nature try and find a place in my body. Pisces symbolizes the human body ascending into the cosmos. It’s very easy for us to feel like a part of something greater, so it’s good for Pisces to ground themselves.
I hope if you can manage to ground yourself, it will indeed become easier to identify your feelings— because I can’t do that for you (nor can anyone else). Talk it over with yourself; out loud might even be more productive. Good luck. I wish you well. c:

MARCH ELEVENTH
Strengths: Intuitive. Tasteful. Charming.
Weaknesses: Possessive. Claiming. Domineering.
Tarot Card: Justice
Personality
Those born on March 11 keep abreast of the times. Whether liberal or conservative in outlook, they are progressive in thought. That is, they know that to be out of touch with or unaware of what is going on socially around them is perhaps to say goodbye to one’s career. They see the world as a highly competitive place where only the quick and clever survive. In their private lives, however, they allow themselves to express the dreamier, more relaxed side of their nature, chewing over ideas and speculation through conversation with friends or family and perhaps developing imaginative projects. In both areas of their life, however, the unifying talent which they employ is their intuition, which for the most part serves them well.
March 11 people believe that if they stand still in the world they are going backwards, since others will simply leave them behind. They are nonetheless moderately, rather than fiercely ambitious, moving ahead with assurance and clarity of vision. Should they work a regular job, they will put themselves in a position in which they can be promoted, but may not actively push or politic for it. Their idea is that by making valuable contributions they will be noticed and advanced at the right time. Whether this is a correct assumption or not may depend on the fairness of their work environment and the culture in which they live.
If they are self-employed or own their own business, they have a decided talent for seeing a hidden opportunity and going for it. Once they have assessed such an opportunity they will not hesitate to put a sizeable part of their material resources in the service of their intuitions. Thus they make good investors and gamblers, since they are courageous enough to take educated risks but wise enough to avoid foolish endeavors.
Another trait which serves them well is their taste. They not only have an instinctive feeling for what is good and worthwhile, but also are quick to learn about what makes objects or ideas valuable. Some March 11 people can even select items which appear phony or cheap but later prove to have great worth.
March 11 people have a claiming and controlling aspect to their personality. They don’t part with what they have very easily, and that goes for people as well as for things. As family members they invariably find themselves in the center of what is going on, where they can exercise powerful decisions affecting the lives of both their parents and children. They must avoid arousing antagonism and rebelliousness in the latter who may wish to have a greater degree of freedom or independence.
In many areas, March 11 people could learn to let go a bit more, to relax their control over their environment. More highly evolved individuals born on this day will learn to trust the Universe and to realize that in essence nothing is really lost, thus freeing themselves by renouncing a claiming attitude. Ultimately their intuition will lead them to value their own freedom more than either possessions or personal control.
Meditation
Imagine having to carry everything you own
Of course. c:
I’d love to advise you, anon. However, simply going off of “March 4th, 1954” is a bit of a shot in the dark! If you could perhaps highlight issues you struggle with, I’d be more than happy to elaborate. (Privately, if you wish— in which case, you’d have to come off of anon) I ask you to specify what you need advice on, only because I can think of so much that could potentially need advising. To make sure you understand exactly what I mean by highlighting the issues you struggle with…
• Do you feel too distant and alone from the rest of the world?
• Are you an altruistic individual who feels you give way more than other people you know— and in turn, feel as though you care about your friends/family more than they care about you?
• Do you feel so innately/naturally alone, that you allow people to walk over you and/or use you because of the fear if you don’t let them use you, you’ll just be alone?
etc. But, I’m always here for people who need it. Promise. <3
MARCH TENTH
Strengths: Sensitive. Empathic. Soulful.
Weaknesses: Long-suffering. Withdrawn.
Tarot Card: The Wheel Of Fortune
Personality
Those born on March 10 are deep, emotional individuals. Their drive for success is often rather low-key and they may be more concerned with understanding themselves and coming to grips with their complex personalities than they are with fortune, power or fame. This does not mean to say that March 10 people are overly self-involved or somehow self-indulgent. On the contrary, they love to have fun, particularly in an intimate social setting with close friends, and are most happy when they occupy a central position in their families, surrounded by nurturing and protective influences.
The sensitivity of March 10 people is pronounced. They are easily hurt, feel rejection keenly and want little more than to live in peace with their fellow human beings. However, those born on this day who have experienced traumatic childhood episodes, deep psychological wounds inflicted by a hurtful parent or overly rigid moral systems placed on them early in life, can retreat from the world into a private, inaccessible emotional space and stay there.
Because March 10 people are so sensitive, they experience the highs and lows of life as few others do, and therefore are more likely to turn inward and search their souls, to try to understand themselves. Through this inner development they cultivate empathy to the pain and suffering of the misfortunate, and for this reason, many born on this day opt for a service-oriented career. The more highly evolved of March 10 people show great sympathy and kindness for others, even to the point of being self-effacing and saintlike. As parents March 10 people tend to be nurturing and understanding, but must beware of a tendency to be overprotective and subtly manipulative.
Generally, March 10 people put personal considerations before anything else. Also since they are so highly developed in the emotional realm, they may not develop their willpower and mental toughness as fully as they might. Consequently they can drift or stagnate, not having the strong desire or ability to better their circumstances. For the less talented or gifted of March 10 people, qualities of acceptance and passivity may not be so desirable.
In putting emphasis on internal rather than external values, March 10 people are oriented toward an idealistic, non-materialistic value system. Yet they nonetheless display a great need for security and a marked desire for simple comforts, which becomes more evident with advancing age. The danger here is that they will stagnate and fail to carry their personal development any further. It is true that their exploration of inner emotional worlds (theirs and others’), deepens their sensitivity and makes them more soulful, but they must not use this activity as an escape from expressing themselves outwardly or making crucial decisions.

MARCH NINTH
Strengths: Intuitive. Visionary. Conceptual.
Weaknesses: Self-Sacrificing. Detached. Overstressed.
Tarot Card: The Hermit
Personality
Those highly conceptual, visionary individuals born on March 9 are concerned with examining and exploring the space around them, either mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually. Curious about most everything, they are not satisfied until they get to the root of any issue or problem. They have a pronounced dislike for all forms of affectation, authoritarianism and condescension in others, and endeavor to remain natural in their approach to life. Because of their high idealism, they are generally on the side of the underdog and tend to be protectors of the poor and weak. They themselves, however, are powerful individuals with a highly developed personal magnetism. Their psychic abilities are also strong and they should therefore trust in their intuition, which is most often sound.
Highly developed March 9 people rely heavily on their instincts. Although no one would deny their mental strength, in many cases they choose to go against the odds, logic and what appears true, in favor of what their sixth sense tells them (particularly when it comes to relationships and crucial life decisions). Though sometimes accused of living in another world, in fact those born on this day understand a great deal about how the daily world works, but are also able to see through a given situation to its essence and potentialities. Whether labeled as spacy or flaky or not, many March 9 people have a more elevated or detached point of view than the average person. Thus they make valuable advisors, since they so often present a viewpoint that the person seeking counsel has not yet considered.
March 9 people often experience a conflict between their stable, nurturing side and their desire to be free, to travel, to let their minds roam over dreams and ideas. If they lock themselves into a position of heavy personal responsibility (family, job, social position), they may find themselves frustrated a good deal of the time. Part of the problem is that since they are highly capable, others easily grow dependent on them. They must be careful to leave certain doors open for themselves through which they can periodically escape and express the adventuresome, far-out elements of their personalities.
March 9 people usually go through many major changes in their lives. Moving from one job, place or relationship to another is very natural to them, since they enjoy variety and are wary of attachment. People born on this day who have not gotten to know themselves at a deep level, who know they are unusual but have never really expressed their true self, are often surprised to discover one day how truly powerful they can be. Once they begin to realize and exercise this power, those born on this day will experience and enjoy a whole new dimension in their lives but perhaps also face many new difficulties. Indeed, they may feel the urge to drop their more mundane duties, reject a former life of compromise and reach for the stars.

MARCH EIGHTH
Strengths: Individual. Magnetic. Intuitive.
Weaknesses: Isolated. Emotionally Difficult. Upsetting.
Tarot Card: Strength
Personality
Those often misunderstood individuals born on March 8 must do things their own way. Whether in their outlook, lifestyle, manner of expression or personal appearance, they are at heart nonconformists who often find themselves at odds with the status quo. Although they may be lovers of tradition, and perhaps express reverence for cultures past, March 8 people need to break away, sometimes violently, sometimes sorrowfully, from their backgrounds in order to become individuals in their own right.
Because of their critical, emotionally difficult natures, making this break themselves is often not necessary, as they may well be rejected first. But however it comes to pass, by the time they are in their late teens or early twenties they have sufficiently realized that their life is likely to be stormy and their path perhaps lonely.
March 8 people have a zest for life. Yet try as they may their lifestyle or ideas rarely find sympathy with the majority of people around them. This is in part due to their intensity, and also because their point of view is so often uncompromising, highly individualistic and perhaps challenging to societal values. Iconoclasts, those born on this day have a strong rebellious and aggressive side that does not necessarily win them friends, and an instability that may not earn trust. Yet they can be tremendously loyal friends. Those who are granted the highly personal distinction of being a March 8 person’s friend will find that an equally high degree of loyalty is demanded in return.
March 8 people are supreme roleplayers. Should they choose to do so, they can work quietly at the same job for many years, keeping a low profile. Equally well they can even function as pillars of society and upholders of the status quo. Behind the scenes, however, they will nonetheless work for change and progress, and though they may assume a highly conventional position, perhaps out of a desire for financial or political security, they usually find a way to express the extravagant side of their nature in their personal life.
Great magnetic attraction is often granted to those born on March 8. They are capable of exerting an almost hypnotic power over select individuals which is as much due to their mental strength as to their charm and intuition. As young people, their energy is often volatile and uncontrolled but as they mature they make an impact through a highly subtle, mesmerizing dynamism. Although they are not fully aware or capable of exercising these powers when young, psychic abilities often devolve on those born on this day, and may be discovered and better directed later in life. Tremendously appreciative of greatness in all fields, March 8 people are apt to express wonder and even worship when grace, power and beauty are displayed.

MARCH SEVENTH
Strengths: Conceptual. Sensitive. Giving.
Weaknesses: Diffuse. Withdrawn. Lonely.
Tarot Card: The Chariot
Personality
Those complex individuals born on March 7 often live in a highly abstract world. Giving structure to this world is the great challenge which they take on in life. Those born on this day who are able to find a concrete form of expression for their thoughts can meet with great success.
Although their minds generally remain free to roam over very far out and abstract issues, career-oriented March 7 people usually manifest their ideas in highly practical ways, hopefully involving the popular support and participation of those around them. But whether they are involved in down-to-earth activities or not, they can give the impression of living on another plane of existence. Not surprisingly, those born on this day usually lead highly private lives away from their work.
In fact, the often lonely world of March 7 people is not an easy one to penetrate. Those who wish to be friends with them will find that it is necessary to be exceptionally patient and understanding and above all not too demanding. It is not that March 7 people find it difficult to give, far to the contrary for they can be very generous, but rather that they do not react well to direct pressure being applied to them. Usually their reaction is to withdraw, both emotionally and physically.
When they are attacked or criticized, March 7 people only defend themselves to a degree (if at all) before pulling back into their own safe space. They learn very quickly who they can and cannot trust to be understanding and accepting of them. Somewhat secretive, however, they may be less than forthcoming as to what they expect from loved ones.
For those whom they feel are deserving, March 7 people can be extremely giving of both their time and financial resources. Those born on this day are highly sympathetic to the needs of others on a basic human level and thus justice and equality can be preoccupations of theirs. Though bound up with the concerns of their society, however, they are not the most social of creatures. They may find one or two good friends more than enough for them.
Some of the problems that March 7 people encounter include inconstant energy, lack of a rich social life, fears and instabilities, and a feeling of uncertainty about what it is that they are meant to do with their lives. Once they are able, however, to direct their diffuse energies in one meaningful line of endeavor they can go very far, both to the heights and the depths. Using their work as a wedge, they may even find themselves making impressive inroads socially.
March 7 people need to remain in touch with the thoughts and feelings of their family, social circle and society at large. In bringing their sense of care and attentiveness to bear not only on their work but on their personal concerns as well, they can build quite an impressive sort of life for themselves. They may or may not ever find the right person with whom to share their life, but they can certainly build firm friendships which serve as outlets for their great need to share affection.

Weaknesses: Complacent. Oversensuous. Adrift.
Tarot Card: The Lovers
Personality
An irresistible attraction to beauty is central to the lives of March 6 people—less often an aggressively forceful or passionate attraction, but rather a subtly magnetic one. March 6 people find themselves drawn toward certain people, situations, environments, music, drama and art that please their senses. They themselves often have attractive powers of their own which they may not fully realize. Easygoing March 6 people need to spend time getting to understand this power and how it can work for them if they wish to be more successful in their careers and progress in their personal development.
March 6 people may be going along peacefully in a certain direction when something or someone catches their eye, and though they may view this thing of beauty but for a brief instant, they cannot get the image out of their mind. Irresistibly they are drawn to it and before they know it they are caught. Perhaps this is due to their unconscious sensitivities or even psychic powers and the nature of romantic attraction and how it works.
March 6 people tend to project their own series of internalized and idealized pictures out on the world, or at least an unconscious set of strong expectations. Especially when viewing that which strikes them as beautiful, they often do not see what is really there, but rather what they wish to see. Perhaps what they see reinforces and complements their internal needs. Thus they may, like Narcissus, be actually falling in love with their own reflection.
Many March 6 people are highly aesthetic creatures, willing to devote their lives and if necessary sacrifice themselves to their ideals. They themselves are capable of inspiring great admiration, even adoration in others. Such attraction might be called irrational were it not for the fact that it often satisfies concrete, objective concerns and needs.
For March 6 people, all forms of sensuous experience—textures, sounds, colors, smells and tastes—combine in a kind of bouquet which buoys their spirits but sometimes overwhelms them. Some born on this day may well become slaves to their desires and attractions, but for many March 6 people the purely sensual does not satisfy their need to adore and appreciate beauty. They need to do far more—to idealize the object of their affections, and once having done so, to share their life with it, perhaps even merge with it.
Unfortunately, disenchantment and disentanglement are two possible painful results when an initial ecstatic period of involvement has faded. For those born on March 6, learning to be objective in handling their attractions and attractiveness is key to their maintaining control over their lives and fulfilling their potential as human beings.
Meditation
Falling in love too easily and too often may in fact be an expression of disaffection with oneself
I think I’m a bit unclear on what you’re asking? Um, firstly— yes, of course an Aries and Pisces could work? And, this Aquarius-Pisces cusp person / Pisces rising Cancer … ? Still a PiscesxPisces combo, so, of course the compatibility ought to be there?
MARCH FIFTH
Strengths: Expressive. Polishes. Incisive.
Weaknesses: Difficult. Temperamental. Suffering.
Tarot Card: The Hierophant
Personality
Those born on March 5 usually have two distinct sides to their personality. To the world they may appear debonair and charming, sophisticated, as well as kind and considerate, while inside they are grappling with their personal demons. Extremely secretive, they can be quite different people in private and are often prone to expressing dark feelings and emotions.
Productive and creative individuals born on this day are usually able to express both sides of their nature in their work without contradiction or fear of censure. Problems can arise for them in their personal lives which are often not only stormy but sometimes destructive as well. Deep individuals, March 5 people are in touch with the whole spectrum of human emotions which they themselves express at one time or another. They also have a way of bringing out both the best and the worst in others; through piercing insight, those born on this day can expose the weaknesses, deficiencies and insecurities of others with great impact. This is largely because March 5 mental and emotional sensitivities are equally developed.
Not surprisingly, those born on this day seem to live life more intensely than others. They also remain open to a wider variety of experiences than most people can handle. It is as if the colors on their palette are a little brighter, the highlights and shadows on their canvas more contrasted.
At times March 5 people can be logical and emotionally objective, at others passionate, perhaps irrational, overwhelming people with their intensity—and all this can happen in the short space of a few minutes or seconds! Others may wonder how one person can be so mutable, and adaptable to circumstances.
Because they often have a high turnover rate in interpersonal relationships, March 5 people can come to feel somewhat alone in the world. They may even begin to wonder if they will ever find the right person for them. Those that come to realize that it is their own difficult nature that is the source of their dissatisfaction stand a good chance of making needed changes. Such March 5 people can find great joy in simplifying their emotional life.
Keeping on a more even keel, and integrating the diverse aspects of their personality is a daunting but greatly rewarding task for March 5 people. It may be true that the friction generated by their internal struggle fires their creative engine. Therefore, some born on this day may fear that by becoming more regular or normal they will dull their cutting edge. Perhaps it is a question of what value they place on happiness.
Developing a highly attuned awareness of their effect on others is essential for March 5 people. Cultivating the more unselfish side of their ego and perhaps submitting to some higher spiritual power, focusing on simple acts of kindness in everyday life, makes life easier for themselves and those around them.

MARCH FOURTH
Strengths: Self-Contained. Intimate. Autonomous.
Weaknesses: Fearful. Shy. Self-Involved.
Tarot Card: The Emperor
Personality
Those born on March 4 are able to live and work in isolation without having too much contact with the outside world. Although many born on this day do not consciously choose isolation, nevertheless it often proves to be an important recurring theme in their lives, so that again and again they find themselves either physically, emotionally or spiritually cut off from their fellow human beings or environment.
However, to most born on this day being alone is not a lonely experience, but rather a chance to be productive. Even when invited to go out and have a terrific time, they may choose to stay home—not out of fear or negativity but simply because they believe they will enjoy it more. Highly evolved or creative individuals born on this day see their relative isolation as essential to doing their best work. Their powers of concentration are usually excellent, and as they are comfortable with themselves face few distractions or anxieties when alone.
Socially, those born on this day generally prefer the company of a few close friends rather than a large number of lighter acquaintances. Intimacy has a very special meaning for March 4 people and they tend to seek it out both in their relationships and surroundings. Those born on this day are generally happy in modest, secure spaces where they are surrounded by the objects they love most. When in larger places or pressed by crowds they may begin to feel a bit insecure. However, when they take part in social occasions at which they feel at ease, they are able to carry the same feeling of special intimacy with them and to share it with others.
Setting up and running any sort of home or office comes naturally to these cosy people. They have a good feeling for what is comfortable in a simple, elegant way. Perhaps this is because their material needs tend to be modest and they are not particularly impressed by luxury.
March 4 people find great satisfaction in sharing the results of their work with others whom they may not even know. Hearing about someone who liked what they did can mean more to them than meeting the admirer face to face, which could well embarrass them. The shyness of March 4 people is a very endearing quality, but those born on this day must also learn to be aggressive when necessary and to stand up for what they want. They may find that what they have learned on their own stands them in good stead when it is time to be more assertive.
Meditation

MARCH THIRD
Strengths: Directed. Conceptual. Well-Prepared.
Weaknesses: Biased. Compulsive. Self-Unaware.
Tarot Card: The Empress
Personality
Those born on March 3 usually have a pretty clear picture in their minds of what they wish to accomplish. Although highly imaginative, they have a firm pragmatic side that enables them to put their ideas into practice. Unlike those who seek acclaim or reward before finding a way to be useful, they recognize first a substantive need, and then apply whatever talents they have to provide for that need. Not only able to see the big picture, those born on this day are capable of focusing on details as well. It doesn’t hurt that their visual skills are generally well developed.
March 3 people are usually socially involved in their work, and as mentioned, pragmatic. Yet they may feel a need to live highly private, even secretive, lives away from their career. Those born on this day can be prone to escapism, whether they lose themselves to an earthly world of sensation or a romantic world of the imagination. Nonetheless, successful March 3 people are able to neatly balance their public and private lives, not allowing either to dominate at the expense of the other.
Whether more social or reserved types, most March 3 people are taken up with plans and designs. The need to prepare carefully for eventualities is highly characteristic of those born on this day and they usually examine a problem minutely before acting. Indeed many March 3 people enjoy the planning more than the execution of an endeavor. But because they put so much energy into these formal constructions they run at least two dangers.
The first is getting bogged down in the planning phase and losing the motivation to act; the second is losing a sense of spontaneity and thus deadening the experience itself, and perhaps facing disappointment by having too many preconceptions about what is going to happen. Because it is difficult for many March 3 people to make up their minds about what course to pursue, they are often better off just making a decision and getting on with it, rather than endlessly weighing alternatives and not acting on them.
March 3 people often become overly absorbed in what they do. Though their activities give them great satisfaction, they may be avoiding the underlying reason why they lose themselves in this way. Perhaps some born on this day have an actual dislike of or discomfort with their own personality due to an overly critical parent or social pressures in their childhood. It is important that such March 3 people learn to like themselves more, not just for what they do, but for who they are. Gaining such a sense of wellness and security will also aid them greatly in their career, lending them the confidence needed to follow through on their plans and make a success of themselves.
Meditation

MARCH SECOND
Strengths: Loyal. Imaginative. Perseverant.
Weaknesses: Out-of-Touch. Inflexible. Obsessive.
Tarot Card: The High Priestess
Personality
The highly dependable individuals born on March 2 display an unusually strong sense of loyalty which can manifest in relation to their family, friends, nation or perhaps a higher cause. Those born on this day tend to hold the object of their passion in the greatest esteem, even to grant it adoration or worship. Rarely if ever will they forsake their commitments once they have given themselves fully.
But it is precisely their unswerving loyalty that can present problems for March 2 people. It can be pretty uncomfortable at times for others to be the object of such feelings; in fact, care, concern or devotion can both be a source of great security and inhibition to those involved with them. As parents, those born on this day may experience difficulties with sons or daughters who hold a contrary value system and wish to be free to go their own way. More highly developed March 2 people do not lock others into static roles, but allow for change in family, friends and those they admire. Their loyalty is not conditional or something to provide themselves with a sense of security, but remains constant through the evolution of people and entities.
Many March 2 individuals go through periods where they devote themselves exclusively to their work. Particularly if this work is of a creative nature, they may block out everything else. This not only isolates them from those uninvolved in their efforts, but can make them one-track personalities. March 2 people may overlook the fact that remaining open to varying experiences ultimately enriches their work.
March 2 people are often unable or unwilling to disentangle themselves from commitments when things begin going in a bad direction. Though in such “no win” situations, they may still find a way to turn this around, the sacrifice required can be great. On the other hand, should everything ultimately fall apart, those born on this day are likely to move on fresh, perhaps to a completely new area of endeavor. Win or lose they are secure in the knowledge that they have given their best.
One of the most important challenges for March 2 people is finding a balance between their need to develop more personal, individual goals on the one hand and their desire to give themselves to more universal causes on the other. Learning to deal with the here and now and to meet personal challenges is of the highest first priority for those born on this day, for only when their own house is in order will they be able to give their best to worldly or idealistic endeavors.
Meditation
God may not be so far away
Well, I have read in a lot of places that the “Piscean female likes to feel, and made to feel feminine” and though I feel it certainly applies to ME, I kind of take it with a grain of salt? Regardless, you’ve said you feel as though you’d like a “manly man” so I take it you do feel as though you are quite feminine? (I’m assuming here, correct me if I’m wrong!) Now, I do personally believe in a balance between masculinity and femininity within relationships in order for them to be long-lasting (but I don’t think it matters where it comes from, don’t get me wrong). HOWEVER, I do also wonder if with a “stereotypical” Pisces— that is to say, a highly emotional, intuitive, individual, that if perhaps some feminine* traits in both individuals are necessary? *by feminine here I mean astrologically speaking; intuitive, introverted, etc. Personally, though I feel I am quite feminine, I think if I was in a relationship with a “manly man” I’d, for lack of better terms, die. Hahaha. I’d worry that he wouldn’t be emotional enough to understand me! And a Pisces most certainly needs an emotional connection to thrive.
Now, again, I’m assuming things:
Assuming that’s you in your icon, you look quite young. Being young, it’s natural to want that “exciting, manly man.” You know? It seems so thrilling. But would a manly guy really be right for you? Maybe this pisces-pisces pair won’t work out in the end, but I think it’ll certainly be more rewarding than a “masculine-feminine” pair— again, astrologically speaking. c:
*masculine signs are: fire signs; aries, leo, sagittarius & air signs; gemini, libra, aquarius
* feminine signs are: earth signs; taurus, virgo, capricorn & water signs; cancer, scorpio, pisces
MARCH FIRST
Strengths: Artistic. Technical. Ambitious.
Weaknesses: Irresolute. Escapist.
Tarot Card: The Magician
Personality
Those born on March 1 have a natural feeling for artistic expression of many kinds and a great sensitivity to their environment. They are usually keen appreciators of beauty—in people, nature, art and daily life. However, those who take them to be overly fanciful or lightheaded will be surprised to find how practical they can be. But though March 1 people usually impose a logical structure that orders their work life, they generally let it all hang out in their private lives.
And whether they have it together in any daily situation is a matter of choice; if they wish, they can be quite relaxed and hence late for appointments or sloppy with their living space, but equally well they can be extremely concerned with being on time or doing neat work. Generally such a choice is made on the basis of how much importance they place on something, not merely on the whims of their mood. Thus it is less a lack of discipline as it is a relaxed attitude, a refusal to be compulsive.
March 1 people are usually very attentive to their personal appearance as well as their surroundings, whether artists or businesspeople, not only out of aesthetic considerations but also since they know it may be an important part of their drive for success. Those born on this day who have a business or political orientation know full well how to be charming, diplomatic, when to push and when not to. Their aesthetic sensibilities are reflected in the elegance with which they accomplish their career tasks. March 1 people in general feel that the way something is done is at least as important as what is being done. They can be very unforgiving to individuals who are impolite, ill-mannered, abrupt or unkind.
March 1 people like to keep it light, to laugh and enjoy time in an easy manner. They do not wish to live with problems—particularly personal problems. In their work, difficulties which arise are met head on and represent opportunities to evolve. But in their personal lives, few people go through the agonies March 1 people suffer when things are not going well. Rather than hang in there in what appears to be a losing battle, those born on this day often choose to leave before things become still worse. Unfortunately, however, they often carry the emotional hurt or confusions with them inside, unresolved.
March 1 people may have to learn to face their interpersonal problems and to work them out with the other person instead of becoming impatient or perhaps rejecting. Although highly expressive individuals, in such situations those born on this day could be closing themselves off to the promptings of their own heart.

MARCH 19-24
Zodiac Position: Approximately 27° Pisces-4° Aries
Central Concept: Rebirth
Seasons: Late Winter / Early Spring (equinox)
Elements: Water/Fire
Qualities: Mutable/Cardinal
Rulers: Neptune/Mars
Symbols: The Fish/The Ram
Modes: Feeling/Intuition
Those born on the Pisces-Aries cusp are unusually direct in their approach to life, and their outspokenness can make them alternately admired or misunderstood. They are elemental, basic individuals who cannot and will not be denied, no matter what their station in life. Pisces-Aries people rarely see anything wrong with their actions and generally refuse to change their attitude or lifestyle for anyone. Even the mildest of them seem to carry a sense of infallibility about their person. Though insistence they tend to get their way.
Every cusp personality comprises conflicting elements, being influenced by two very different adjacent signs. Because the Pisces-Aries personality combines the watery Piscean traits of sensitivity and deep emotion with the fiery Aries traits of action and willfulness, people born on this cusp may prove puzzling to those unable to understand their curious admixture of passive and active characteristics. They can be at once dreamers and doers. However, as feeling-intuitive types, they often lack earthy stability and hard mental objectivity. For this reason, their lives tend to show a great deal of conflict and flux.
Those who do not get to know “Piscarians” better learn not to look for deeper reasons or ulterior motives behind their actions. Those born on this primal cusp resent being analyzed, feeling either rightly or wrongly that what they so openly present to the world is exactly what they are— no more, no less. All self-critical processes are painful for them, but their success in life will be directly proportional to their ability to remain objective about what they do and who they are.
Advice
Learning patience is your most important task. Develop social skills through working alongside others. Try to curb your impetuous side— weigh alternatives and consider consequences before speaking or acting. Get to know yourself better.

MARCH 11 - 18
Zodiac Position: Approximately 19°-28° Pisces
Central Image: Dreamers
Season: Late Winter
Element: Water
Quality: Mutable
Ruler: Neptune
Symbol: The Fish
Mode: Feeling
Pisces III people are often endowed with unusual psychic and intuitive gifts. Yet they may in fact squander such talents if they have no way to ground them in the here and now. Balancing conflicting points of view, energies and daily activities are key to the effectiveness of Pisces III’s.
Some of the struggles which all of us undergo, but which stand out in bold relief in the Pisces III personality, are coming to terms with the relative and the absolute, objective and subjective, pragmatic and ideal. For example, many Pisces III’s know that everything is relative, but at the same time feel the intense need to believe in certain universal principles. Or although they know that there are unassailable truths that one must operate by in everyday life, they also recognize that much of what we encounter is colored by our subjective views and responses. Swinging back and forth between such points of view is typical of Pisces III’s, but so also is their intense desire to integrate seeming contradictions.
The unreality factor of this week can be very high, particularly among those Pisces III’s who have not invested much time or energy in developing practical skills. This kind of Pisces III wishes to fly before learning to walk. It is true, however, that many born in this period exhibit paranormal abilities from an early age that go against generally accepted notions of space, time, and causality. But whether they display such unusual abilities or not, those born in Pisces III do seem to be in touch with special human and universal conditions which are sensed by very few. Therefore, it is likely that at some point they will forsake worldly ambitions to follow what they perceive as greater challenges and higher callings.
Advice
Be more demanding of yourself in your personal development, and contribute actively to the life around you. Beware of neglecting to build a firm foundation. There is a limit to what you are capable of overcoming— make life easier for yourself, and be willing to compromise when necessary.

MARCH 3 - MARCH 10
Zodiac Position: Approximately 11°-21° Pisces
Central Image: The Loner
Season: Late Winter
Element: Water
Quality: Mutable
Ruler: Neptune
Symbol: The Fish
Mode: Feeling
Pisces II people are often individuals who wind up spending long periods of time alone. Of course, like anyone else, they fulfill their daily family and work responsibilities but even while functioning effectively, they can be in their own world. Generally not overly social, Pisces II’s have a circle of loyal and loving friends who provide them with all the social interaction they need. Many Pisces II’s choose to work as self-employed persons out of their own home or private office, and when operating within a work team do best when they have their own space (where they can close the door against instructions).
Those born in this period have a very great gift to give to those few people they allow into their space— intimacy. Few in the whole year have the talent to so meaningfully share themselves and their often unusual interior life. Those blessed with a Pisces II friend know the joys of interacting with such a sensitive and often quietly passionate individuals.
Pisces II’s do not have it easy in the world. Often singled out or even persecuted for their sensitivity and idiosyncrasies, they may well begin a retreat from society in their teens or early adulthood. Other more “normal” Pisces II’s gravitate toward increasing privacy not because they dislike or are traumatized by the outside world but rather but rather because they find the state of being alone more rewarding and productive. Many such individuals are very distracted and upset by the endless noise and static of everyday existence.
Because those born in this week are generally open, accepting, sensitive individuals, their receptivity is high. Consequently, more than most, they can be prone to accidents and disease, as well as positive experiences of learning and sensuous stimulation. It seems Pisces II’s are fated to live in the peaks and valleys of life. Fortunately, those born in this period tend to be extremely resilient and thus recover from setbacks which others might not survive at all.
Advice
Try to remain realistic in your outlook. Resist the lure of escapes, in all their varied forms. On the other hand, leave a window open on the world. Continue to strive for trust and acceptance, but remember to stand up for yourself as well. Improving your social position may make certain things easier for you. Your suffering may neither be unique or, for that matter, necessary.

FEBRUARY 23 - MARCH 2
Zodiac Position: Approximately 3°-12° Pisces
Central Image: Spirit
Season: Late Winter
Element: Water
Quality: Mutable
Ruler: Neptune
Symbol: The Fish
Mode: Feeling
Most Pisces I people believe in the supremacy of spirit over matter, and therefore often devote themselves to idealistic causes or pursuits. Some born in this period go so far as to exhibit what amounts to a disregard for the material world, particularly when it comes to their work.
Indeed, many Pisces I’s have a yearning and zest for the non-material side of life— the life of ideas, music, art and movement. Their belief systems may be religious in nature, or they may be pantheists, who see God (or gods) everywhere even if they do not submit to the authority of a church, temple, or mosque. Also their sense of devotion can be directed toward their work, family, or hobby, which may in fact be less of a hobby and more of an all-involving pursuit. Rarely does one find an unbridled egotist in this period, since even those Pisces I’s who devote themselves to their own career or self-development also do so with an air of serving a higher cause.
Yet Pisces I’s can also be aloof, and at times preoccupied with their own self-importance or the importance of their projects, which sometimes means neglecting family and friends. Also an air of infallibility often accompanies them, so that others may find them frustrated or even infuriated with the better-than-thou or know-it-all attitude of the Pisces I individual.
Many Pisces I’s have a surprisingly realistic view of life, in all its many aspects. Their interests roam over the entire range of human knowledge— from the practical concerns of daily life to the farthest reaches of the cosmos. Pisces I’s in fact may not regard spirituality as some far-off dream state, but a more enlightened or conscious way of dealing with the here and now.
Advice
Sometimes you need to be more aggressive. Keep in touch with everyday matters and remain attentive to your needs and the needs of others. Beware of alienation through placing yourself on a higher plane. Seeking a higher state of consciousness need not mean avoiding shouldering the work of life.

FEBRUARY 16 - 22
Zodiac Position: Approximately 26° Aquarius-4°Pisces
Central Concept: Sensitivity
Season: Late Winter
Elements: Air/Water
Qualities: Fixed/Mutable
Rulers: Uranus/Neptune
Symbols: The Water Bearer/The Fish
Modes: Thought/Feeling
The sensitive souls born on the Aquarius-Pisces cusp direct most of their energy within two spheres: the personal and the universal, often bypassing the worldly sphere in the process. Indeed, the “Aquisces” may be seen as an explorer who has courage enough to dig deep within him/herself but also years to soar off into the beyond. Perhaps the ultimate synthesis for such an individual is to recognize the extremes of internal and external, subjective and objective, personal and universal, as simply two sides of the same coin. Also, because the middle ground (symbolically speaking, the functioning ego and its social expression) is the most difficult for those born on this cusp to tread, they may have to focus more of their energy on managing the business of life.
Every cusp personality comprises conflicting elements, being influenced by two very different adjacent signs. In the case of this particular cusp, the dynamic, universal nature of Aquarius is either tempered or challenged by the highly subjective, personal nature of Pisces. More successful people born on this cusp are able to integrate these two sides of their character, neither losing themselves to unrealistic dreams nor submerging themselves in the depths of their own concerns.
“Aquices” have a hunger for experience. For many, impressions from the outside world are like food or fuel which powers their creative motor. But as they are sensitive to the extreme, it is difficult for them to remain objective in their contacts with the world. This is part of the reason why their attempts to create balance in their daily life are highly problematical.
Advice
Don’t give up on the world or retreat behind fences. If necessary, tear obstructions down to rediscover your sensitive self. Learning to trust may mean ceasing to fear. Without denying your need to explore the depths and the heights, take the middle road more often.

February 19/20 - March 20
Element: Water
Quality: Mutable
Ruler: Neptune
Symbol: The Fish
Mode: Feeling
Motto: I Believe
COLORS: Mauve. Purple. Aquamarine.
PLANTS: Mosses. Ferns. Seaweeds.
ATTRACTIONS TO: Aquarius. Scorpio. Cancer.
Pisces is the twelfth and last sign of the zodiac, and can be viewed as the most highly evolved of all the signs. It is not only the ultimate water sign (following Cancer and Scorpio), but is also ruled by the watery planet, Neptune. With Jupiter as its co-ruler it shares both expansive and mutable characteristics with Sagittarius. Pisces symbolizes the merging of the human soul with the Cosmos, a necessary step before the next incarnation may begin anew in Aries. Pisces symbolize a deep belief in the highest powers of the Universe.
The two Pisces Fish swim freely in the cosmic ocean. They represent the highest lessons of fellowship, but also the capacity to see deeply into the life and nature of things. The Fish can submerge themselves in the depths and partake of hidden and ultimate mysteries. Pisces teaches us not to be afraid and to let go of our earthly form, and teaches that death is only the beginning of new life.
Personality
If Pisces is taken to represent the twelfth and last period of life, age 77-84, it symbolizes a spiritual letting go of earthly attachments and a merging with the cosmos (as mentioned prior). The rulership of Neptune lends a dreamy, spiritual and deeply emotional quality to the Pisces personality. Pisces are not known for their practicality, but can in fact be masterful in their understanding and expression of abstract ideas and systems. Thus, those born under this sign can be typed as dreamers yet when they make a gift of their visions to humanity it is indeed a fine offering. Generally speaking, Pisces are easy about sharing material possessions and enjoy friendships and close partnerships more than most. Yet they also need to be alone a good deal of the time and run the risk of becoming escapists or loners who isolate themselves from the world.
Extreme sensitivity can make it difficult for Pisces to lead an easy social life. Though often characterized as the sign of sorrows, suffering is born well by Pisces. However, they can be vulnerable to depression an occasionally beset by self-pity. Escapes involving addiction are particularly dangerous for them. The deep and complex emotional life of those born under this sign makes them highly attractive to those who long for contact with the profound in life.
Pisces are often blessed with excellent memories, perhaps due to their impressionability. In addition, they tend to be devotional, and make true believers— this applies not only in the religious sense but also in regard to other belief systems and principles. Jupiter shows its influence in the generosity of this sign. Pisces are high empathic and sensitive to the difficulties of others; they tend to respond with compassion in the face of misfortune. However, Pisces must beware that others do not impose unduly on them or take advantage of their acquiescence.
