Every once in a while, you pause and organize yourself, your thinking and your life, so you know what is working and what isn’t. And that will last for a while. However, one individual will then draw your attention and pull your balance away. The trick is to go back, as swiftly as you can, to that balance—because that balance is one of the most precious elements of your life.
Even a seemingly minor gesture, done at the right moment, touches a Pisces heart
While you’re sympathetic by nature, when the moment calls for it, you can be very firm, if not actually tough—with others and with yourself. What’s more, you also benefit from a powerful practical streak. In fact, when it comes to big matters, it is amazing how clear you can be.
However, the sympathetic streak that is also a part of your nature surfaces from time to time, and can distract you. That means, when you’re doing something, however modest, the real challenge isn’t figuring out what to do. You can rely on your instincts for that. It is balancing that vision with the portion of your nature that gets so obsessed with tiny details or which can, at times, be so hurt by someone else’s unthinking behavior, you’re distracted from your objective.
As a water sign, while you’re idealistic, you can take things personally—from others’ unwitting comments to the peculiar attitude of certain individuals. Most Pisceans learn to spot this and, before you take things to heart, either speak up or, if that isn’t possible, make a decision to ignore them.
This is a skill—but then all of life is a skill. And the better you get at dealing with such distractions, whatever their nature, the better you’ll be able to use your extraordinary ability to touch others—and to transform the world around you that comes with being a Pisces.
While dramas around you can be distracting, once you learn to spot these, you’ll learn to ask the question, “When is enough?” It’s as if you were enjoying the warmth of the sun, but then realize if you stay out too long, you’re likely to get burned. Dealing with those who could undermine your confidence is the same. The trick? Ignore them.
As a water sign, while you take care of yourself, you sometimes forget about the toll being around those who have a tendency to undermine you can take. This not only causes concern, it can also lead to worry about other things. The trick is to discuss the matter clearly and firmly and in a way that you, as a Pisces, wouldn’t usually do.
Every once in a while, you pause and organize yourself, your thinking and your life, so you know what is working and what isn’t. And that will last for a while. However, one individual will then draw your attention and pull your balance away. The trick is to go back, as swiftly as you can, to that balance—because that balance is one of the most precious elements of your life.
Understandably you are in no mood to argue with somebody who, on the best of days, is difficult to deal with. But if you don’t tackle the issue in question now, it will be assumed you’re happy with things as they are, when that is by no means the case. Speak up now. You won’t regret it.
Pisces: FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 19
Ruler: Neptune
Symbol: The Fish
Element: Water
Flower: Water lily
Symbolized by a pair of fish, you, as a Pisces, born under this often charismatic and highly intuitive water sign, can view almost any situation from two angles. While you were originally ruled by Jupiter, Neptune’s discovery in 1846 changed that. Your flower is water lily, your food and flavors are moss and lime, and your tree is the fig. Your stone is misty, blue-green jade.
