The Ash
2/19 - 3/17: 28º00` Aquarius - 25º59` Pisces
[complete description]In general, all Ash individuals tend to have duality in their natures. On one side, they are artistic with an aura of vulnerability…on the other side, they are quite pragmatic. Being compassionate and sensitive, they understand the baser elements of humankind, as well as the spiritual aspect. The compassion of Ash individuals also extends to the animal kingdom and they have an innate ability to relieve suffering, both by physical nursing and the power of prayer. The faith of the Ash is rarely orthodox in a religious sense, but they are highly intuitive individuals, often possessing a strong deeper sense of spiritual matters. Ash people are highly adaptable and, despite a frail appearance, can recover from almost any emotional blow. On the negative side, theose governed by the Ash frequently experience trouble when handling the more mundane practicalities of everyday living. Often easily influenced by others, the Ash individual can be low on self-confidence and may become isolated.
Ash people have a creative genuis for making money but frequently fail to carry a project or idea through to its completion. As children, they require careful direction in order to learn how to use their talents to the fullest potential. Possessed of a somewhat mystical quality, Ash individuals are drawn to fantasy worlds. They adore the theater and movies, frequently blessed with beautiful singing voices although their preference is to work behind the scenes. They are also usually attracted to the ocean…or any other body of water…sometimes with fascination and sometimes with fear. There is no compromise for the vulnerable Ash individual where water is concerned…it will be one or the other. The career of the Ash person should never involve a routine which is too strict. The arts are a good choice but, because of the compassionate nature of these individuals, they are often drawn to the medical field and are good at organizing charitable functions.
Ash individuals are quick-witted, spontaneous and gregarious. They possess a lively curiosity and are intelligent, persuasive speakers. Being enthusiastic, inquisitive and communicative, Ash people love engaging in discussions about new ideas and projects. They are gentle individuals and, though easily hurt, are able to cope well with the negative in addition to the positive. They make for kind and considerate friends, ideal sweethearts and caring parents. Being romantics and dreamers, Ash individuals frequently appear to have one foot in the “Land of the Sidhe” and strive constantly to keep order in their lives. On the negative side, Ash people possess a nebulous quality which can lead to an inability to cope with the practicalities of everyday living. They are also easily influenced by others and have a hypersensitive nature which can undermine their self-confidence and ambitions. It is important for Ash people to focus their mental abilities or they are inclined to become nervous and irritable.

Pisces Confession:
As a Pisces, one of the most painful things I’ve ever done is both being best friends with and having feelings for an Aquarius. I can’t but help but to be emotionally attached and needy, and that is the thing she despises most.

Pisces: February 19—March 20
Neptune, God of the Sea and master of illusion and mystery, rules Pisces. Those born under this sign have an affinity for the performing arts, music, writing… anything that allows them to dream and create a more beautiful world. This same tendency toward illusion can also be expressed in self-delusion, as Pisces would rather ignore anything that isn’t in keeping with their lovely vision of the world. Pisceans possess a high level of emotional intelligence, easily perceiving the feelings of those around them, which makes them wonderful teachers and guides of the soul.

I am personally of the belief that isolation is a necessity to Pisces. (And for that matter any individual who considers themselves introverted, or otherwise exhausted by being emerged in social activities). By isolating ourselves, we are given time to regain our energy. Pisces are hypersensitive to the environment, if you were to go from place to place— from crowd to crowd, even if you were traveling alone, I would imagine you would find yourself quite exhausted, frustrated, etc. For instance, sometimes I run errands by myself— I’ll go to the mall, or something. And though I am by myself, and don’t speak to anyone… I am surrounded by many. It is very exhausting. I need time to myself, as do many others who are impacted by their environment, to regenerate.
I also feel as though many Pisces would feel a sense of dissatisfaction if not given the chance to self-reflect/soul search/etc. Isolation I think is a key part in being left alone with your thoughts.
Isolation, however, for an extended period of time? Yes, I think it can be damaging. I think many Pisces thrive when they feel they are being helpful to others, or creating smiles on the faces of their friends. And, well, they can’t do that in isolation, can they? I also believe many Pisces become more depressed when they are alone… Being left alone with your thoughts can be both a good and bad thing to a Pisces. On one hand, our minds can explore. On the other? I’d think that we’d wind up getting fixated on “how much we dislike reality” or something to that affect.
I think it’s good to handle isolation in small doses.
Personally, I enjoy the metaphor many astrologers use involving Pisces and the sea. You know, how much of our sea is unexplored and unknown. I very much think every Pisces has a world inside of them, similar to how there are many different types of habitats in the ocean.
I think Piscean intuition is a gift, and I also think the love from a Pisces is a very special kind of love.
Hahaha, yes. Most definitely.
Pisces Confession:
I love putting the decisions for little things on my friends because “I’m too indecisive! You guys know I’m a Pisces!” It drives them crazy and I think it’s hilarious.
Pisces Confession:
As a Pisces, I always feel like I know a lot of people better than they know themselves. I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but it’s how I feel.
Also, I want to say that I really don’t like Aquarians. They grate on me.
Pisces Confession:
the other signs are always telling me that i overreact about my feelings ಥ_ಥ
That’s odd. (well not really. some calculators are completely off) Are You sure you’re not entering different times? ie: 3 AM once, 3 PM another (by accident, of course)? If you’re having a hard time calculating your ascendant online, you could consult an astrologer. Someone who would draw out an entire chart for you, on the spot. See what they say.
