I'd rather not be around them. I mean, confidence is good and I admire that, but I like it much more when someone isn't too annoying or loud, more genuine and humble and treats everyone the same. I just feel like so many people have big egos and wants attention :("

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

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

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

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

Sure! c:

So, I was just wondering (in your opinion) what do you do when you're a cusp or how do you go about it? (I have traits of both Aq & Pis) It's so confusing and they both contradict each other. If it helps my Venus is an Aquarius?"

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

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

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

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

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

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


Pisces Confession: 

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

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

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

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

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