Those born under this sign inhabit the twelfth house, the reunion with ego and infinite, the eternal. Pisces is said to be the most sensitive of signs--and the most vulnerable. Pisceans swim in the medium of dreams.

The Sign
Pisces's glyph shows two fish hooked together but swimming in opposite directions. The image is a metaphor for the Piscean character. One part of it swims wide, toward the edge of the universe, while the other dives deep seeking some mystical substratum of reality. Ideally there is a rhythm to the journeys: the fish reunite and share their discoveries before setting out again on their separate missions. Lacking the rhythm, however, it symbolizes unbalanced extremes: the voyager wandering aimlessly and the unhappy introvert deep in the abyss.

Positive Sides
The typical Pisces personality is often less interested in practical, everyday matters, than with the emotional or spiritual side of life. When it does not run to extremes, however, Piscean intuition is strong and redemptive, endowing the individual with intellectual and artistic gifts. On a larger scale, it instills profound understanding and compassion. Romanticism plays a role in their lives. Many people born under this sign have artistic and creative talents.

Negative Sides
Some are hypersensitive even to the point of being psychic. Piscean minds are so receptive that as children, Pisceans may have trouble distinguishing their own thoughts from the thoughts of others. This confusion can spur a headlong retreat from reality as Pisceans seek to escape the clamoring mental static. They may then become withdrawn, submissive, anxious, and disorganized.

The Ruler
Pisces is a Water element, ruled by mystical Neptune! Pisces feelings run very, very deep. A mutable nature endows Pisces with adaptable and unifying energy.

Friendships
Most Pisceans have a natural talent for understanding the emotional makeup of other human beings. To others, their gift of insight into their motivations may seem like magic, but it is simply the product of their own sensitivity and intuition.
