Keywords and Associations of the sign Pisces

Fishies, I know you may not understand what I've said above, about all that -icity stuff and polarities and whatnot, but bear with me; the goal of this blog is to eventually explain all of that to you. So now I'm going to give you a bunch of concepts and professions and character types associated with your sign of Pisces. You may or may not agree with some of the connotations listed below, and they may or may not apply to you personally. But you know, these are the stereotypes that pop up in people's minds when they think "Pisces". So, on to the words.

Illusion, self-deception, fantasy, drowning in emotions, drug addict, prostitute, alcoholic, artist, blurring of boundaries, hunger, transcendental, religion, hospital, orphanage, prison house, soup kitchen, shelters, compassion, old soul, swimming with the current, most challenging incarnation to master, death, humane, submission, sacrifice.

Pisceans to Emulate

Albert Einstein
The Messiah, Jesus Christ
 
* Note that these are solar Pisceans, which means that the Sun was travelling through the Pisces zone of the zodiac at the time of their births.

These two Fish-people embody the higher ideals of the Pisces spirit.

Instead of swimming along with the current as many Fish, and indeed many people, are apt to do, Albert Einstein was the type of Fish who swam upstream, fighting the current, to produce something really beautiful towards humankind, out of the legendary Pisces imagination and considerable philosophical prowess.

The Messiah is the total embodiment of the selfless love principal that the Pisces soul must learn to master. Christ loved without hope of return, and in the end gave that most intimate of all his possessions to the people he loved: hisself. The Piscean essence of Christ is the reason behind listing "religion, hospital, orphanage, prison house, soup kitchen, shelters" in the associations passage.

Here is a quote from Linda Goodman, the astrology sensation who revamped this ancient art and marketed it successfully to the public:

"Pisces must learn that he is to serve mankind in some way, and eschew worldly possessions."

Pisces with the Signs

Here is a watered-down, basic compatibility chart for Pisces, the Fish. I say watered-down because I plan to tackle synastry, or compatibility astrology, in other, more in-depth blog posts. So, Fishies, here is the route for Pisces with the Signs.

Pisces with Aries

My rating for this association: 2.5 out of 5
Verdict: Nothing special here. You'd both be better off with someone else in the long run.
For romance and sex, this relationship has a significantly better edge if the male is the Aries and the female is the Pisces.

Pisces with Taurus

My rating for this association: 3 out of 5
Verdict: A friendly association, with good overall chemistry. Worth giving it a shot.
For romance and sex, this relationship has a slightly better edge if the male is the Taurus and the female is the Pisces.

Pisces with Gemini

My rating for this association: 2 out of 5
Verdict: You have your work cut out for you. You both have lessons to learn from one another.
For romance and sex, this relationship has a better edge if the male is the Gemini and the female is the Pisces.

Pisces with Cancer

My rating for this association: 4 out of 5
Verdict: As close to celestial bliss as you're ever going to get.
For romance and sex, this relationship has a slightly better edge if the male is the Cancer and the female is the Pisces.

Pisces with Leo

Verdict: This can either be an association of true beauty, or a relentless clashing of spirits.
For romance and sex, this relationship has a significantly better edge if the male is the Leo and the female is the Pisces.

Pisces with Virgo

YOUR POLAR OPPOSITE SIGN ON THE ZODIAC WHEEL

My rating for this association: Fluctuant.
Verdict: Dear Pisces, Virgo is your opposite sign on the zodiac wheel. The things you lack, Virgo possesses, and vice versa. You have incredibly useful lessons to learn from Virgo, so if you're getting to know a Virgo, thank your lucky stars - Virgo was sent to you to help improve your soul. If the Virgo you know is of the opposite sex, you will feel bound to this person's ideals like a magnet; if the relationship has a sexual or romantic twist, it will be explosive. However, you might feel an aversion or antipathy towards Virgos of the same sex, and chances are you might actively dislike them and mistrust their motivations. Tread wisely with this association, as either way, a close association between these two will never be strictly casual.
For romance and sex, this relationship has a slight edge if the male is the Virgo and the female is the Pisces.

Pisces with Libra

My rating for this association: 2.5 out of 5
Verdict: This can either be an association of true beauty, or a relentless clashing of spirits.
For romance and sex, this relationship has a better edge if the male is the Libra and the female is the Pisces.

Pisces with Scorpio

Verdict: As close to celestial bliss as you're ever going to get.
For romance and sex, this relationship has a better edge if the male is the Scorpio and the female is the Pisces.

Pisces with Sagittarius

My rating for this association: 2 out of 5
Verdict: You have your work cut out for you. You both have lessons to learn from one another.
For romance and sex, this relationship has a significantly better edge if the male is the Sagittarius and the female is the Pisces.

Pisces with Capricorn

My rating for this association: 3 out of 5
Verdict: A very friendly association, with good overall chemistry. Worth giving it a shot.
For romance and sex, this relationship has a better edge if the male is the Capricorn and the female is the Pisces.

Pisces with Aquarius

My rating for this association: 2.5 out of 5
Verdict: Nothing special here. You'd both be better off with someone else in the long run.
For romance and sex, this relationship has a significantly better edge if the male is the Aquarius and the female is the Pisces.

Pisces with Pisces

YOUR SIGNS ARE CONJUNCT.

My rating for this association: Fluctuant.
Verdict: So you're associated with another Pisces. This can either be a magnification of all the positives of the sign Pisces, in which case the two of you together can soar into unprecendented heights other humans can only dream of reaching. However, if all the negatives of the sign Pisces are magnified in your association, you can safely expect to cause a deep rift in your relationship and drive each other crazy and deep into the ocean of your depression. Better to tread carefully with this one.
Well, you're both Pisceans. You figure the romance and sex bit out!

Pisces for All Genders

   Oh, dear Fishies, dear, dear Fishies, I have an especial sympathy with you. Everyone's always going on about how Pisces is the sign of "self-undoing" (alarming, right?), and how all Fish people are jobless losers who eventually turn to drugs and alcohol, escapism, prostitution, and procrastination (some people are mean and narrow-minded enough to suggest that all Pisceans have problems with more than one of those crude things listed above). I'm here to go all Gemini on you, Neptune kids. I'm going to tell you just how wrong all those people are, and that you are all fabulous and dandy and shouldn't believe what they say one bit. Actually, I'm not going to say that... pay attention, I said I'm going Gemini on you, which means I'm changing my mind about every millisecond as to your inner nature. Okay, back to being Grandma Aquarius :)

   Actually, Fish people, you may have more reason than people born under any other zodiac sign to fear the "vices" (go ahead and call them vices if you want; I wouldn't like to pigeon-hole anything) I mentioned above. I'll be getting to the reasons why at some point in this post, I'm sure, and if I don't, it's up to you Fishies to place my mind back on the Neptunian track again... you Fishies might need some Arien firmness for that.

   I'll start off where people usually start off when discussing anything... the beginning. So, I'll give you what you need to know about all that mumbo-jumbo at the top of the page, under the column General Pisces.

   Dear Pisces, you are of the water element. Water represents the emotions, and therefore, my dear Pisceans, you people are comfortable within the waters of emotion, like your Scorpio and Cancer brothers and sisters. Most of you can probably cry for hours, and at any little thing that wouldn't make someone with a more airy or earthy humour leak; it could be anything, from the cuteness of a newborn kitten to your grandmama's recent divorce to the problems of world hunger. Pisces is sensitive, with a little bit more. Your compassion, dear Pisces, is exemplary in its purity. Pisces is the ultimate dissolution of the ego, the complete submission of the self to serve a greater cause than personal interests and day-to-day living. Remember, Jesus Christ Himself was a Fish, with a heavy Aquarian influence throughout his nativity; for those of you who still hold on to the Aquarian vibration on some level, be it through your moon or ascendant or whatnot, this combination of Air and Water within the birth chart of a person can bring about either a great humanitarian, or a very sad, unenlightened human being, especially when afflictions to the birth planets are present (porn star Sasha Grey has the placements of Sun in Pisces and Moon in Aquarius; more on Ms. Grey's case in a bit).

   Dear Pisces, you are mutable water. The other mutable signs are Virgo, Gemini, and Sagittarius. Mutable people are the communicators of the zodiac. Dear Pisces, the planet Venus, which rules beauty, art, and harmony, is exalted in your sign; basically, all this means that the chances are good that a lot of you are quite artistic, and use the arts as a way to communicate the myriad emotions you go through on a day-to-day basis. And when I say myriad, I mean MYRIAD! It's no wonder most Pisces people can be rather tired and listless; Pisces is definitely not an early riser in the mornings. The Fish values the beauty of dreams too much to want to jump out of bed early in the morning and get on with drab reality after that lunch date with a parakeet or that duel with a tyrannosaurus in the school playground (am I right, Fish people? ;). Anyway, the reason that you guys are always tired is because the boundaries become skewed for Pisceans; like the nature Fish, the emotions of everyone around diffuse into the perceptive consciousness of the intuitive Piscean; the Fish has a knack for absorbing the emotional attitudes of others, and making their problems his or her own; it's because the Pisces compassion with suffering knows no bounds. Also, didn't I tell you that Pisces represents death of the soul and the passing into Heaven? Who wouldn't be tired after all that living?
  
   Which brings us back to cases such as Ms. Grey's. It's not without reason that astrology warns the Fish to stay away from alcohol, excessive emotionality, sexual experimentation, and laziness. Indeed, many astrologers will tell you that Pisces is the sign of "self-undoing". Why is that? Pay attention to the symbol of the two fishes; aside from being a sign of duality, which poses problems in itself, the two fish of the symbol swim in opposite directions. In life, there is always a choice that the human Fish has to make, the earlier on in life, the better. Pisces can choose to either swim along with the current, eventually crashing downstream into the bottomless pit of addictions and Neptunian self-deception, or fight the temptation to drift along in life and swim upstream, into the arts and spiritualism, or scientific discovery. Albert Einstein and the Messiah were two of the upward-swimming Fish. Since the soul is already so close to death, the temptation to drift onto any path, regardless of whether it is the right path for that individual or not, becomes that much more pronounced in this incarnation of the soul. You belonging to the water element doesn't help much either, especially with the alcohol problems. All water people should be warned about the very real danger of alcohol addiction, since it can provide a very seductive cradle for their intense emotions, especially when no-one or nothing else will. Since Pisces is a mutable sign, and is so selfless, promiscuity may be a problem; the Fish waltzes into romance in an attempt to lose themselves in the emotions of another person and, at the same time, to find a home for those emotions as well. Remember, Pisces is a sign of duality. And since romance is quite natural to most Pisceans, Venus being exalted in the sign of Pisces, there can be quite a long house-search before a right fit is found. Along with its opposite sign Virgo, Pisces is the sign most associated with prostitutes and pornography actors. This may be due to the astrological association of Pisces with an emotional "hunger" of some sort, as the Fish always searches for a home to spill its emotions into, symbolic of the soul's hunger for the Afterlife. However, Pisces is not promiscuous by default; promiscuity is usually determined by the Venus and Mars signs of a person, and is usually indicated by an afflicted Venus and/or Mars in a mutable sign. At the very least, however, the Fish is flirtatious, or would like very much to be, since Pisceans are basically shy types, sometimes even loners.
 
   Dear Fish, please swim upstream. Before I forget, Pisces rules the feet, whereas the opposite sign of Virgo rules the hands. Most Neptunians have an uncanny acting streak, due to their ability to absorb whatever someone else is feeling. So, better in drown in this sort of illusion than other, less productive types (alcohol, procrastination, etc...). Another good career choice would be anything both art- and service-oriented, such as music or literature. Pisceans can opt to go into nursing, psychiatric work, or humanitarian pursuits. Statistically speaking, a great flock of people in religious occupations are Pisceans (a nod to the Messiah-syndrome, I guess.) These areas in particular could be graced by the Piscean's gentle perception of human nature.
