Pisces, 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 sometimes exist emotionally rather than
rationally, instinctively more than intellectually (depending on how they are
aspected). They long to be recognized as greatly creative. They also dislike
disciple and confinement. The nine-to-five life is not for them. Any rebellion
they make against convention is personal, however, as they often times do not
have the energy or motivation to battle against the Establishment. Pisceans
tend to withdraw into a dream world where their qualities can bring mental satisfaction
and sometimes, fame and financial reward for they are extremely 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. 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.
