Elemental Quality
Pisces is the mutable water sign of the zodiac. It can be likened to a warm, turquoise lagoon, twinkling in the sunshine, or to a strong ocean current rising from the depths to break over a rocky shore, smoothing the pebbles for all time.
Mutable means changeable, and water can change its form in many ways: rain, hail, snow, mist, frost, clouds, rainbows, warm pools, and puddles; thus, Piscean feelings can change a dozen times a day.
The Piscean Personality
These are the general personality traits found in people who are typical of Pisces. An unhappy or frustrated Pisces may display some of the not-so-attractive traits.
| * Loving and caring | * Self-pitying |
| * Trusting, hospitable, and will help all in distress | * Gullible and will give all in a lost cause |
| * Shy | * Temperamental |
| * Helpful | * Dependent |
| * Romantic | * Escapist |
| * Creative | * Sensationalist |
| * Mystical | * Depressive |
| * Gentle and kind | * Can lose touch with reality |
| * Compassionate | * Too emotionally involved with the problems of others |
| * Understanding of others | * Tends to blame self for everything |
Secret Pisces
Anyone who has strong Piscean influences is a person who has perhaps the most extreme choices of any zodiac sign. Pisces can accept the challenges of life and rise to the top, or can give in to the easy way of oblivion and sink to the bottom. This choice is symbolized by the two fishes. To help him or her swim to the top, the Pisces must find peace through beauty, music, and harmony.
The Pisces needs work which will enable him or her to achieve this. More than any other sign, Pisces has many talents which may be used to develop their character. Many work hard to improve the lot of humanity. Others bring their talents to film and entertainment, enlivening the lives of thousands.
Pisces needs to turn his/her private, mystical dream world of love and compassion into a reality. The only other option for a Pisces is a life of illusion and, ultimately, a sense of failure.
Ruling Planet and Its Effect
Jupiter and Neptune rule the zodiac sign of Pisces, so anyone whose birthchart has a strong Piscean influence will tend to bring benefit to others through their sensitivity. In astrology, Jupiter is the planet of expansion, optimism, and generosity. Neptune is the planet of dreams, sensitivity, the unconscious, and the world of unreality.

The Piscean Look
People who exhibit the physical characteristics of Pisces look more clumsy than they actually are.
They give off a feeling of otherworldliness, and usually have very sensitive, caring eyes. They may have a trusting, eager look or a quality of empathy and nonjudgement exclusive to those who truly understand human sorrows and failings.
The Pisces Female
If a woman behaves in a way that is distinctive of the personality associated with the zodiac sign of Pisces, she will have a tendency toward the characteristics listed below, providing there are no influences in her personal birthchart that are stronger than that of her Pisces sun sign.
| The typical Pisces woman: |
| * is normally slim, but tends to put on weight in later years |
| * has large eyes and an oval face |
| * has clear, soft skin, whatever her color |
| * has an air of feminine mystery |
| * has a very warm, charming smile |
| * does not try to dominate her partner in any way |
| * often appears vague and dreamy |
| * is subtle and, while appearing to be helpless or incapable, gets things organized and manages the finances extremely well |
| * protects her emotional vulnerability with humor or a sophisticated exterior |
| * needs to belong to someone |
| * has a warm, sympathetic heart |
Pisces At Home
For a typical Piscean, home is a place where he or she will need to feel loved. Home can be a palace or a hovel, but it must contain people toward whom he or she is drawn emotionally and who love him or her.
| When at home, a Pisces man or woman: |
| * will often enter a fantasy world |
| * will feel safe to explore his or her imagination |
| * will probably have no fixed routine |
| * is likely to be untidy, although he or she may have a sudden urge to tidy everything to avoid confusion: this can happen at any time |
| * should keep a large, clear clock |
| * will need a space for personal privacy |
| * will make the home itself into a wonderful world of art, music, design, and good food and wine |
| * can happily accommodate all the fantasies of childhood |
| * will allow a child plenty of imaginative freedom |
| * may lack discipline |
| * listens with understanding |
| * encourages personal development |
| * may have to teach the children punctuality |
| * is warm and loving and rarely uses harsh words |
| * may tend to spoil the children |
| * will probably have a very personal and unusual set of rules to which the children must adhere |
Pisces and Love
To Pisces, there is no difference between love, affection, and romance. A Pisces needs all three. A Pisces who feels unloved is an unhappy person to whom life seems very gray. Love revitalizes Pisces.
| The typical Pisces: |
| * is romantic |
| * eager to please |
| * adapts to the demands of the relationship |
| * appears to be helpless, delicate, and vulnerable, but being loved enables Pisces to cope very well with a range of difficulties, problems, and tragedies |
| * is emotionally involved, to the point of not recognizing when he or she is being deceived or treated badly |
| The typical Pisces expects: |
| * to have his or her dreams valued and to be protected from harsh criticism |
| * to be cared for romantically |
| * to have children (Pisces love children) |
| * to be frequently reassured that they are loved |
| * all birthdays and anniversaries to be remembered |
Pisces and Sex
When a typical Pisces makes love it is an act of romance rather than of carnal pleasure. Typical Pisces is less interested in sexual activity than in the expressions of love that come before and afterward. Piscean energy is more often used up in the emotional experiences of love than in the sexual act. This does not mean that Pisces in not interested, indeed he or she may seek several partners, but this is for reassurance rather than personal pleasure.
Pisces can be the least prejudiced and most compassionate of all the zodiac signs. Pisces will show a deep and real love for a partner who has problems or physical abnormalities, or has to face a tragedy or business disaster. Sex will be one of the expressions of love given by a caring and devoted Piscean spouse.
Pisces and Partner
The person who contemplates becoming the romantic or business partner of a typical Pisces must realize that Pisces will expect to be supported -- emotionally or financially. Given this, the person who partners Pisces can expect loyalty and sensitive understanding.
The Pisces woman will want a partner who will support her in every respect. To many men, Pisces is the perfectly feminine woman. She may appear to be a helpless, fluffy person but once in a relationship she will feel secure, and her reserve of talents and abilities will pour out in every direction.
In business, a Pisces woman will be best in creative positions and in public relations, but should not be expected to do the routine office jobs.
Pisces and Friends
In general, Pisces likes a friend who is useful and reassuring. In return, they will give unprejudiced understanding and loyalty to their friends.
Positive Factors
Pisces are emotionally attached to their friends and will rarely take notice if the friend is taking advantage of this involvement. Pisces are friendly, humorous, and caring friends, even if there are long periods of time between meetings.
Pisces will always think up something interesting to do and will enjoy any kind of artistic ventures.
Negative Factors
Pisces can be a confusing person, so arrangements may be difficult to make.
Pisces can sometimes seem to be cool and offhand. This is usually temporary and due to a moment of insecurity.
Pisces needs a hero or heroine to identify with. If a friend happens to be the chosen one, this can be pleasant enough but may become a nuisance when Pisces gives the friend talents he or she hasn't got and expects them to be demonstrated!
Pisces does not find it easy to conform; friends with conservative attitudes may find this a difficulty.

Piscean Health
Typical Pisces are healthy people so long as they feel loved and have an outlet for their dreams. Unhappy Pisces are vulnerable to problems arising from turning to drink, drugs, or other ways of getting relief from what may seem unbearable emotional insecurities.
Pisces often has to work hard to swim against the current that would pull him or her under. The constant effort of avoiding being sucked into oblivion is the cause of much distress to many Pisces, who, consequently, may suffer depression and other emotional problems.
Types of Sickness
Pisces may become forgetful when illness is about to strike. They may also suffer from the effects of too much wine or too many drugs. The sensitive Piscean psyche suffers greatly in times of stress and has little to draw on by way of personal resources.
A relaxed Pisces is the happiest person on earth. A chance to lie back, sip wine, listen to music and let the imagination wander is perfect bliss to Pisces.
