Just
a note: not ALL the classic social role models ("archetypes") will
fit the sign's characteristics--but these are good examples of people
who outwardly express the qualities of the sign.
Pisces (February 19 -
March 20)
"I am What I Intuitively Believe"
In
Pisces, we find the emotional state of water compounded by the
illusionary rulership of Neptune, as well as the higher ideals of
inspiration and faith of Jupiter, its co-ruler. Piscean souls seem to be
caught in the tides of human emotion that are constantly swirling
around us. They have an empathic nature that makes them sensitive
subconsciously to those around them, and to the world at large. Pisceans
are reluctant to conform to "common sense" because they are vaguely
aware that Earth is not the real home of our highly developed soul
nature.
This longing to return back to the presence of God and the spiritual
level of unity with our Creator makes Pisceans take an escapist
attitude. Their attempts to transcend their earthly bonds can be
destructive if not brought under control. Pisces rules the use of drugs
and alcohol, as well as the fantasies of the mind, and many of these
people turn to the abuses of mind and body in this manner.
The sign of Pisces is two fish, swimming in opposite directions. The
escapist side is one fish, but the other is the higher evolved side,
which turns back to the creative, mystical channels of universal
energies. Pisceans are able to create great works of art or poetry, and
their natural desire to express themselves in dance or music. They allow
themselves to find their other-worldly self in the dream life of the
theater, as they are able to envision themselves in another person's
shoes and can act out roles by immersing their identity.
Pisceans also find a fulfillment of purpose in self-sacrifice and service, and are often found working in hospitals and institutions, where their healing love for people brings them peace. They are sensitive to the suffering of the world, and by reaching out to help others in need, they uplift the lives of others, as well as their own. A Pisces will also take on responsibilities or entangle themselves in relationships with the best intentions, but often attracting someone with qualities that make the Pisces' efforts seem in vain, such as patterns of abusive lovers or spouses.
Pisces rules the feet, as it is natural that these people learn to experience a grounding effect to keep them aware of the realities of life. It is this very contact with the earth that enables them to be the graceful ballet, choreographer, ballroom dancer or performing arts achievers, who draw us to daydream of the etheric heights. Pisceans also are blessed by their desire to play musical instruments, or the superb vocal qualities that they often possess. No matter what their gift is, a Pisces wants to share it with us to remind us of our origin and true home with our Creator.
