Pisces is one of the less flamboyant signs and its natives are more
ordinary than those of, for
example, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. Pisceans possess a gentle, patient,
malleable nature. They
have many generous qualities and are friendly, good natured, kind and
compassionate, sensitive to
the feelings of those around them, and respond with the utmost sympathy and
tact to any suffering
they encounter. They are deservedly popular with all kinds of people,
partly because their easygoing,
affectionate, submissive natures offer no threat or challenge to stronger
and more exuberant
characters. They accept the people around them and the circumstances in
which they find themselves
rather than trying to adapt them to suit themselves, and they patiently
wait for problems to sort
themselves out rather than take the initiative in solving them. They are
more readily concerned with
the problems of others than with their own.
Their natures tend to be too otherworldly for the practical purposes of
living in this world as it is.
They exist emotionally rather than rationally, instinctively more than
intellectually. Their willpower,
ambition they long to be recognized as greatly creative and reasoning are
all limited and, however
anxious they are to fulfill themselves, their concentration is weak; they
lack decisiveness and they are
easily diverted from their purposes. They are apt to live a shiftless sort
of life, searching for some
career in which they can really find themselves, but being easily
discouraged they become
despondent, feeling unappreciated and moving on to something or someone
else. They also dislike
disciple and confinement within routine the nine-to-five life is not for
them - and confinement by
codes of behavior. Any rebellion they make against convention is personal,
however, as they do not
have the energy to battle against the Establishment.
Pisceans tend to withdraw into a dream world where their qualities can
bring mental satisfaction and
sometimes, but by no means inevitably, fame and financial reward for they
are gifted artistically. They
are also versatile and intuitive, have quick understanding, observe and
listen well, and are receptive
to new ideas and atmospheres. All these factors can combine to produce
remarkable creativity in
literature, music and art. They may count among their gifts mediumistic
qualities which can give them
a feeling that their best work comes from outside themselves, "Whispered
beyond the misted
curtains, screening this world from that." Even when they cannot express
themselves creatively they
have a greater than average instinct for, and love of, beauty in art and
nature, a catlike appreciation
of luxury and pleasure, and a yearning for new sensations and travel to
remote, exotic places.
They are never egotistical in their personal relationships and give more
than they ask from their
friends. They are sexually delicate, in the extreme almost asexual, and
most Pisceans would want a
relationship in which the partner's mind and spirit rather than the body
resonated with their own.
Unfortunately they can be easily misled by a lover who courts them
delicately and in marriage makes
them unhappy by a coarser sexuality than they expected. They are
nevertheless intensely loyal and
home-loving and will remain faithful - though their dreamy and impractical
natures do not fit them to
keep a tidy and well-run house.
In their employment they are better working either by themselves or in
subordinate positions. Their
talents are individual in a commercial business or similar undertaking they
would be afraid to manage
more than a small department, worrying always that they would fail in a
crisis. They can make fair
secretaries and bookkeepers. Their sympathy equips them for work in
charities catering for the
needy, as nurses looking after the sick and as veterinary surgeons caring
for animals. As librarians or
astronomers they can satisfy their mental wanderlust, and their fondness
for "faraway places with
strange-sounding names" may turn them into sailors or travellers. Many
architects and lawyers are
Pisceans, and when the creative abilities are combined with gifts of
imitation and the ability to enter
into the feelings of others, Pisceans find their fulfillment on the stage.
Their psychic and spiritual
qualities can lead them into careers in the church or as mediums and
mystics. They may find an outlet
for their creativity as caterers, and are said to make good detectives
because they can imagine
themselves in the place of criminals and understand how their minds would
work. In technical
occupations they are well employed in dealing with anaesthetics, fluids,
gases and plastics. Because
of their lively versatility and inability to concentrate overmuch on any
one project, Pisceans often
simultaneously follow more than one occupation.
Their faults are exasperating rather than vicious. They can be oversubtle,
oversensitive and
overemotional. In business they can be unreliable, idle, careless,
impractical and ineffective. Their
friends may find their diffidence and sense of their own unimportance
irritating and may eventually
want to shake off acquaintances who not only lack initiative but are
peevish and extravagantly
temperamental in their dependence on them. Other faults of which the
negative Piscean is accused
are fickleness, gossiping, indiscretion, effeminacy and gullibility. They
may not be able to avoid being
sickly, but their fretting hypochondria can wear out a saint's patience.
They can be intellectually
dishonest and also actually fraudulent, deceitful and hypocritical. They
are often indecisive in
important matters yet will uphold absurdities with the obstinacy of the
weak. When they feel
themselves rejected, lonely or failures, or simply through feeble
self-indulgence, they will find refuge
in drugs or the bottle.
Pisces governs the feet, liver and lymphatics, and its subjects can be
threatened by anaemia, boils,
ulcers and other skin diseases, especially inflammation of the eyelids,
gout, inflammation, heavy
periods and foot disorders and lamenes
Heather
Your name of Heather makes you easy-going and refined, but detracts from your physical vitality. You desire all the finer things in life--lovely clothes, home, furniture, and environment. However, procrastination is your worst enemy, and you find yourself lacking the ambition to make your dreams a reality. People are inclined to take advantage of your sympathetic, tractable nature. You naturally attract people with problems who seek your understanding and advice. You can give good advice although it is unlikely that you would follow it yourself. You would be most successful in situations where you can use your skills in diplomacy in handling people, but where you are not under pressure or required to carry responsibility and make decisions. It is difficult for you to be individual and make your own decisions, for you lack self-confidence. Your desire for sweet, rich foods could cause overweight, circulatory problems, or weakness in the kidneys.
