Pisces
Personal
Pisceans are the
most malleable of
the twelve signs. They
possess a gentle, patient nature, but one that is in want of molding.
They can be impressed by and completely absorbed into their
environment.
Pisces adapts to their surroundings, good or bad. They are
generous, friendly, good natured people with a true sense of kindness
and compassion. They are
sensitive to everything around them including the feelings of others. They
are popular folk because of their easygoing and likable manner.They
have an uncanny sense of perceiving what a person is in need of, and
delivering it. They are not initiators, but rather allow circumstances
and events to motivate them, and then they respond.
Pisceans are not
practical people.
They are too ephemeral for normal day to day living in the world. They
are sensitive and instinctual rather than intellectual or
mechanical.When, however, they do find the right container, they are
capable of some incredible deeds. They will become completely absorbed
in a chosen path, to the exclusion of everything else.

sensations. When they travel, they prefer remote, exotic places.

charitable.
Negative
Piscean
characters are absent minded. They don't fare well in a controlled
or fixed environment and generally rebel against convention. Pisceans
wage only a personal battle.They can be so subtle, sensitive and
emotional that they end up being a real drain on ones resources. In
business they can be unreliable, idle, careless, impractical and
ineffective. The negative side of Pisces is often fickle, a gossip,
indiscreet, and gullible.
Pisces is easily misled because they want to believe. No matter how
often they are led astray by vacant promises, they keep the faith and
go on looking for their personal ideal. Their dreamy and impractical
natures are a source of distress to those close to them.Being a mixture
of an optimist and a pessimist , they find it difficult to make up
their minds on any issue.
Main Negative traits: Pessimistic,
impractical, unrealistic, fearful, emotionally restrained, melancholy.
Profession
In the career department, they
are better working by themselves than for someone else. Their sympathy
equips them for careers in charity, catering to the
needy, as a nurse, looking after the sick, or as a veterinarian, caring
for animals.
They have a love of water, and
can be found in work that keeps them near the sea. Pisces creativity
includes a natural ability to imitate or mirror another person as well
as enter into their feelings. These attributes make them wonderful character actors, and
many Pisceans find great fulfillment on stage or in films.
Pisces sense of others, is an
ability that makes them effective in civil service and the
legal arena. Many in law enforcement and the judicial system are
Pisceans. Their intuitive and spiritual qualities can lead them into
careers in religion or to service as mediums and mystics. Still others
are creative cooks and chefs. Because of their versatility and
plasticity, they often follow several vocations during their lifetime.
Advise for the Pisceans
Whether actually sick, or suffering from hypochondria, they are so
demanding that they can wear out anybody's patience. When they feel
rejected or lonely they may turn to drugs or alcohol for comfort.They
should avoid this attitude.They
lack decisiveness and are easily diverted from their purposes.
Pisceans are most likely to suffer from nervous disorders, insomnia,
anemia and despondency. They should live in bright, sunny and dry
climates and should take good excercise. Pisceans should avoid their
restlessness to make life more meaningful.
Origins in
Mythology
The constellation of Pisces
appears as a fish swimming in the waters that pour from Aquarius. In
Babylonian times, this star formation was associated with the gods
Oannes and Dagon. These were water deities in the form of fish. Also in
this constellation is the Leash, upon which were tied the two fish
goddesses, Anunitum and Simmah.
In Greek mythology, Pisces is
associated with the great beast Typhon. This fearsome creature belonged
to the earlier age of the Titans, and was a terrifying force
even for the greatest of the gods.
At one time Typhon attacked Mount
Olympus, the abode of the gods. To escape from his wrath, each deity
took the form of an animal. Zeus himself, shifted into the likeness of
a ram. Aphrodite, and her son Eros, escaped the beast by
transforming into a pair of fish and swam away into the Euphrates
river. The goddess Minerva placed the image of the fishes in the
heavens so that the event would not be forgotten.
