Personally, it's the Earth signs that get to me - especially Capricorns. My boyfriend now is a Virgo, and it's quite interesting to see the way his mind works."

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.

Um, forgive me, I’m actually a little naive when it comes to … relationship lingo. But, by “hook up” you do mean things such as going on dates without any emotional attachment, right? No strings attached? And your asking if it’s possible to do such things without forming that emotional attachment? 

Well, firstly, I’m wondering if a Cancer would even agree to “hook up.” Of course, at a young age a lot of teenagers seem to just have little flings without much emotional involvement… but, Cancers tend to be on the serious side when it comes to relationships. I have a hard time imagining that they’d even feel comfortable “hooking up” with anyone. 

Regardless, let’s say they agree.

NO. Or, at least, I doubt it’s likely you’d come out of it without feeling some kind of emotional attachment to the Cancer. I mean, there’s a reason the two of you are compatible, and I’m willing to bet if you two went on some kind of “no-strings-attached” date… some quality in this Cancer would appeal to you, and you’d find yourself compelled to do it again. And again. 

That’s a risky road you’d be taking, and— strictly speaking to what I know about the two signs— I’d have to say at least one of you would end up falling for the other. I mean, if there is a willingness to hook up, I’d argue there’s some physical attraction already at play. Call me crazy, but you wouldn’t just “hook up” with a Cancer you found unattractive, would you? I mean, even if it’s just an attractive quality about the Cancer’s presence— not his physical traits. And physical attraction plays a role in overall intimacy. So. If you’re not ready to fall for someone, I wouldn’t risk it.

Even before we got together, that EXACT post actually sounds like something he'd say about himself, WORD FOR WORD. He has admitted that he "needs to be needed/loves to be needed." I sent it to him too!"

Oh, thank you! c: I did mostly write up those posts by myself, going off of what I knew from each ascendant, and therefore interpreted it with my own… “psychological blend”? I don’t know what else to call it, really. But, to hear that it’s regarded as accurate really makes me pleased. Or, at least, less anxious? Haha. So, yes, thank you again! I greatly appreciate it. c:

Oh, yes, I certainly think so, too. Haha, I often dream about being a vagabond, supplied with papers and pencils, writing to my heart’s content and being able to travel with no particular destination. It really is difficult to apply yourself— and even imagine yourself— in a system that’s so foreign to you. 

haha, thank you. c: <3

So in an old book I had, it said my Rising would be Leo, but the calculator says Sag. I display both of these traits in abundance, especially after reading the match ups youve been posting. Is it possible that I am heavily influced by one of these signs somewhere else in my Chart. I have a detailed chart but reading it has been very confusing and difficult to follow

Well, I have to ask— what calculator? I do hope you didn’t use that chart I posted. I did note that it was inaccurate, and probably only helpful to those who only have a vague concept of the hour they were born. So, I hope you used a more exact calculator to determine Sagittarius. If you’re unsure, you could always run it with multiple calculators— I follow quite a few astrology blogs, and one posted a natal chart calculator that, for whatever reason, showed my birth as having a completely different chart. I like seeing what different sites have to say, but it was trying to tell me my Ascendant was in Sagittarius, which it’s not… it’s in Cancer. And, well, ever other natal chart calculator says my actual chart. If you’re unsure whether or not your Ascendant is in Leo or Sagittarius, I suggest running multiple calculators. Yeah. c: 

ANYWAYS. Yes, it’s possible you have both these signs in your chart, of course. It could be one of the planets, or perhaps even one of the Twelve Houses. It can be difficult to understand what a natal chart is trying to say at first, and I think perhaps a site like astro.com provides good step-by-step lessons in deciphering astrology.

For example; going to college, getting a job, getting married, having kids, getting old, retiring, etc. Do you think Pisces are more prone to an unusual or "off the beaten path" way of life? A life higher and more rewarding than normal existence."

Well, I am inclined to think Pisces would rather have the sort of life which is easy-going, in which they could act to their hearts content. And I do think that the way (Western Society) has structured life is very unappealing to Pisces. I’ve often heard that “this world is not meant for Pisces,” and it’s largely in reference to our unearthly nature. However, I do think our approach tends to be so incredibly abstract, that the idea of structured routine seems quite dull. I think many Pisces often, and unfortunately, allow themselves to become overrun with what is expected of them. I mean, I think the safest way to be successful is to follow that life style— school, college, job, marriage, etc. And I think many Pisces perhaps lose themselves in this, especially their artistic nature. I do think there is perhaps a compromise that exists, but I have yet to find it. 

But ultimately, I do think it is Pisces inclination to resist “normal living.” Do we tend to just float through life, though? I’m inclined to think Pisces lose faith in themselves, or lose confidence, and end up trying to fit into  this “expected, normal living."

My emotional side is really big so this have cost me really low self esteem, and i don't really feel my inner self and what i like and want...How can i find this creative gift as i should have as Pisces. Thanks"

Firstly, I do think many Pisces struggle with this at one point or another.

Is it possible your emotional instability is blocking your creative energy from blossoming? I personally am of the belief that if you struggle with internal struggles, like low self esteem, it causes a sort of “blockage” that makes it difficult for a person’s creative nature to truly shine. Likewise, you say you don’t “really feel your inner self” which I suggest might be your first step towards finding your creative energy. You need to be in-tune with your body as a whole, I think, and this might mean going through some self-reflection to find and embrace this inner-self. After all, if creativity stems from within, and you don’t feel your inner self… it’s natural that you can’t find your inner fantasy. I think meditation and yoga is a good way to balance yourself, but I understand if that’s not “your cup of tea."

Um, I don’t know? I'm amateur at best when it comes to reading charts. I guess it’s possible there’s something in a chart that would point towards “daddy issues,” but I wouldn’t know of it.

Study in an environment where you won’t get easily distracted. Pisces notoriously daydream and get off track when they’re supposed to be focusing, so try to eliminate things that will distract you. Unfortunately, nowadays a lot of studying is done on the computer… which is a horrible enabler for distractions. For that reason, if I’m doing an essay or something, I try to do most of my pre-writing by hand. Away from a computer. I also try to be away from people, and I avoid listening to music that I’ll end up breaking into song and dance… 

Also, do NOT let yourself procrastinate. Oh my god. We all do it— but Pisces are so horrible with this. Especially if it’s with a subject we dislike! For one, procrastination acts very much like a self-defense mechanism against failure— and two, Pisces can be a bit lazy… So, like, FORCE yourself to make a schedule. Okay, I hate schedules. Hate them. I’d rather do things at my own pace— but you can be lose about it. Like, “Tuesday to Wednesday I need to do _____.” You don’t need to obsess and be like, “4:00PM - 8:00PM do ______.” I think there’s a happy medium to be found in scheduling, it just takes trial and error and practicing to see what works for you.
