Pisces! About
Your Sign...
Pisces,
Pisceans possess a gentle, patient, malleable nature. They have
many generous qualities and are friendly, good natured, kind and
compassionate, sensitive to the feelings of those around them, and
respond with the utmost sympathy and tact to any suffering they
encounter. They are deservedly popular with all kinds of people,
partly because their easygoing, affectionate, submissive natures
offer no threat or challenge to stronger and more exuberant
characters. They accept the people around them and the
circumstances in which they find themselves rather than trying to
adapt them to suit themselves, and they patiently wait for
problems to sort themselves out rather than take the initiative in
solving them. They are more readily concerned with the problems of
others than with their own.
Their natures tend
to be too otherworldly for the practical purposes of living in
this world as it is. They sometimes exist emotionally rather than
rationally, instinctively more than intellectually (depending on
how they are aspected). They long to be recognized as greatly
creative. They also dislike disciple and confinement. The
nine-to-five life is not for them. Any rebellion they make against
convention is personal, however, as they often times do not have
the energy or motivation to battle against the Establishment.
Pisceans tend to
withdraw into a dream world where their qualities can bring mental
satisfaction and sometimes, fame and financial reward for they are
extremely gifted artistically. They are also versatile and
intuitive, have quick understanding, observe and listen well, and
are receptive to new ideas and atmospheres. All these factors can
combine to produce remarkable creativity in literature, music and
art. They may count among their gifts mediumistic qualities which
can give them a feeling that their best work comes from outside
themselves, "Whispered beyond the misted curtains, screening
this world from that." Even when they cannot express
themselves creatively they have a greater than average instinct
for, and love of, beauty in art and nature, a catlike appreciation
of luxury and pleasure, and a yearning for new sensations and
travel to remote, exotic places.
They are never
egotistical in their personal relationships and give more than
they ask from their friends. They are sexually delicate, in the
extreme almost asexual, and most Pisceans would want a
relationship in which the partner's mind and spirit rather than
the body resonated with their own. Unfortunately they can be
easily misled by a lover who courts them delicately and in
marriage makes them unhappy by a coarser sexuality than they
expected. They are nevertheless intensely loyal and home-loving
and will remain faithful.
In their employment
they are better working either by themselves or in subordinate
positions. Their talents are individual in a commercial business
or similar undertaking. They would be afraid to manage more than a
small department, worrying always that they would fail in a
crisis. They can make fair secretaries and bookkeepers. Their
sympathy equips them for work in charities catering for the needy,
as nurses looking after the sick and as veterinary surgeons caring
for animals. As librarians or astronomers they can satisfy their
mental wanderlust, and their fondness for "faraway places
with strange-sounding names" may turn them into sailors or
travellers. Many architects and lawyers are Pisceans, and when the
creative abilities are combined with gifts of imitation and the
ability to enter into the feelings of others, Pisceans find their
fulfillment on the stage. Their psychic and spiritual qualities
can lead them into careers in the church or as mediums and
mystics. They may find an outlet for their creativity as caterers,
and are said to make good detectives because they can imagine
themselves in the place of criminals and understand how their
minds would work. In technical occupations they are well employed
in dealing with anaesthetics, fluids, gases and plastics. Because
of their lively versatility and inability to concentrate overmuch
on any one project, Pisceans often simultaneously follow more than
one occupation.
THIER FAULTS. Bear
in mind NOT ALL Pisceans have all or any of these faults, this
only points out tendencies. Their faults are exasperating rather
than vicious. They can be oversubtle, oversensitive and
overemotional. In business they can be unreliable, idle, careless,
impractical and ineffective. Other faults of which the negative
Piscean is accused are fickleness, gossiping, indiscretion,
effeminacy and gullibility. They can be intellectually dishonest
and also actually fraudulent, deceitful and hypocritical. They are
often indecisive in important matters yet will uphold absurdities
with the obstinacy of the weak. When they feel themselves
rejected, lonely or failures, or simply through feeble
self-indulgence, they will find refuge in drugs or the bottle.
Possible

feet, liver and lymphatics, and its subjects can be threatened by
anaemia, boils, ulcers and other skin diseases, especially
