Pisces people struggle for perfection and wholeness, not so much for enhancing their ego as much as following an innate feeling that by expanding to the wider universe, they will inevitably discover their own inner self.  This does not exclude other Pisces people from having a strong practical grip on life but they will be the exception rather than the rule if we consider their strong inclination to be dreamers and poets.

However, as with all of us, there will be other zodiacal energies and influences in the complex mix of each personality. Only if we are say Pisces with Pisces also as our Rising Sign, are we likely to fit the conventional character analysis for this sign.  Doubling the strength of our Sun Sign occurs when the Rising Sign is the same. This applies throughout.

Pisces is focussed not so much on gain regarding the personal talents and material wealth as much as losing any characteristic that will stand in the way of a comfortable embrace of the whole world in his consciousness.

To find and focus upon a plan for the personal self culture is difficult, as it will be modified by the influence of the Neptunian energies that tend to make it easier to just dissolve personal effort and merge into a wider group or selfless cause.

The Zodiacal Symbol of the Fishes – reminds us of the slippery nature that does not want to confine itself to any one idea, personal relationship or life commitment that does not promise a fulfilment of his dreams.

Impracticality is therefore seen as a problem, but universality of soul is a great asset providing strong self discipline is applied to cope with material necessities with confidence, instead of allowing a natural timidity that urges an easy escape from the world whether it is by dreams, drugs, or any other avenue that seem to offer a tempting means of escape. They must make effort to assert themselves and resist taking any path that promises least resistance.

Complexity of the fine and sensitive Piscean nature is not understood by a few words.

However, a reminder for those who have a Pisces partner is that they may be disappointed if they wish for a life of action. It is not always easy to know how  to share the oceans of the earth and also swim together in the oceans of space.

You are a natural mediator, nervous, witty but regrettably often inconsistent or inconstant in thought and in emotional life. You have a natural interest in life, in people, and thoughts and ideologies and your friendships are likely to be multiple and somewhat superficial, rather than close commitments to a single partner.

Your personality seeks communication and contact with people and ideas. It places great importance upon ease of self expression and takes pleasure in speech and conversation, writing and all things new and exciting.

The life of a Gemini is usually directed towards dual interests, preferring to have several interests on the go at the one time. You tend also to be dual in love, and this tends to require an unnatural secretive element in your nature.

You have an exceedingly active, adaptable mind, often too fast for others to grasp. Your spontaneous nature seeks change constantly and ‘being in two minds’ is an expression that could apply to you.

Habits are characteristic but somewhat light hearted and flirtatious in matters of the heart and can often possess a certain superficiality in nature. Friendships are often tainted by a restlessness that can be conveyed to others who find a certain sense of insecurity in your changeability.

Usually multi skilled in some manual hobbies or crafts.

Your keen wit and desire for travel, when combined, will make of you an interesting, and interested traveller with skills in communication as teachers, or in travel agencies, news reporting, or involvement in publishing houses.

Lacking concentration because of diversion of interests, the mind needs to be confined and cultivated to retain strength in your chosen areas of the intellectual pursuit.

Health is generally affected by sensitivity of the nervous system. It is important to pay attention to your lungs – breathing exercises – inhaling perfumes, controlled exercise and focus upon self discipline.

A fine trait is that you will be inclined to undertake any burdensome responsibilities with a good spirit, if this is what is needed in a harmonious partnership or a friendship or when seeking the approval of others.

Remember: All these features relate to your Sun Sign, your inner nature, and are modified or intensified by the qualities inherent in your Rising Sign as well as the planetary aspects.
