WHEN
Martin Luther King, Jr. announced, "I have
a dream," he had nothing on Pisces. People
of this sign have so many dreams, fantasies,
visions, and imaginary friends, it's amazing
they don't get lost in their own heads more
often.
Ruled
by Neptune, the watery
planet of illusions, Pisces often have difficulty
distinguishing between the real and the imagined.
They are amazingly intuitive, even psychic,
and can receive feelings so strongly that they
interpret the world through their emotions.
This makes them innately creative and inclined
toward the arts; even the more left-brained
or conservative Pisces may have natural inclinations
as writers, poets, artists, musicians, filmmakers,
or art appreciators. Because their intuition
makes them naturally simpatico with the underdog,
Pisces also like to teach, or use their creativity
to help others.
On
a good day, Pisces are sensitive and perceptive--great
for assessing the heart of complex problems
and devising solutions. They are also romantic
and caring, and make great parents (though not
always the most loyal spouses with all those
fantasies they need to fulfill). On a bad day,
Pisces, like their symbolic fish, swim to the
bottom of their personal oceans and brood in
the murky depths. It's their own brand of therapy.
Because they internalize the emotions of everyone
around them, sometimes they just can't take
all the vibes they pick up and need to "detox"
from all the self-inflicted turmoil. Then, true
to their own illusory natures, they magically
disppear to do so.
Pisces
tend to be quite hard on themselves, even masochistic
at times. And oh, can they lay on the guilt
trips (ever consider opening a travel agency?).
They are susceptible to depression, and must
watch for a tendency to drown out feelings with
alcohol, drugs, escapist behavior, and acting
out deviant fantasies.
What
brings these gloomy fish back above sea level?
Surrounding themselves by friends who are as
introspective as they are, but who take a more
optimistic, logical, or positive approach to
life. Members of this spiritual sign also need
to feel their lives have a higher purpose. Helping
someone in need, caring for the less fortunate,
or changing the world through the arts all give
Pisces an outlet for their incredible sensitivity
and gifts.
