Pisces

February 19 - March 19

ARCHETYPES AND ROLES

The Visionary, the Romantic, the Savior, the Mystic, the Healer, the Dreamer, the Poet

Your symbol, the two Fish forever joined yet swimming in opposite directions, illustrates the inner complexities you never quite seem to resolve. Extremely sensitive, you must watch how companions and surroundings affect you. Often Pisceans are performers, artists, musicians, or dream analysts, seeking to give expression to various kinds of perception.

SPIRITUALITY

"I Believe" is your spiritual signature phrase. In China, Kwan Yin, goddess of redemption and compassion, is portrayed riding a fish. Cupid and Venus were rescued from the Titans by twin fish in Greco-Roman mythology. The water and fish suggest a cleansing away of old karma to prepare for a new life.

Pisces is the end of the circle, the sign of eternity, reincarnation, and spiritual rebirth. Many astrologers believe that Pisceans have experienced other lives in the past and are old souls.

In mystical terms, you are described as being half-body and half-spirit, pulled between material existence and spiritual concerns.

Like natives of the other water signs (Cancer and Scorpio), you have the ability to see deeply into the human psyche. If you get a hunch, others would be wise to pay attention.

At times, you take other peoples problems, joys, and woes- and you give away the very strength and emotional security you need for yourself. For you, learning to say no can be a lifetime project and you may never learn how to do it at all.

Pisces is the sign of self-undoing, and you may become the creator of your own downfall. You also have a habit of picking the wrong companion. At times, your life may become full of trouble and heartache, and you try to escape. Conflicting emotions and desires pull you apart.

Not many natives of this sign are suited to the harsh world of business and commerce. Creative and imaginative, you are more successful as a writer, musician or artist. Pisces is the sign of the Poet and Dreamer. But so many talented, charming, superior natives of this sign never attain the position in life to which their gifts entitle them.

You are loyal, unselfish, and always ready to help a friend who has fallen on hard times. You look at the inner soul, the essence. There is no more sensitive, perceptive friend, nor one more warmhearted, caring, devoted, and sentimental.
