You sure are talented…
Pisces natives have wonderful imaginations. You are impressionable, creative, and sensitive dreamers. Intellectually curious, you like to explore the unusual, the mysterious, and the hidden. You’re champions of make-believe, and many of you gravitate toward careers in the arts.
Some of the world’s greatest poets, musicians, writers, artists, and dancers were born under this sign: Pierre-August Renoir, Frederic Chopin, Enrico Caruso, Kurt Cobain, Glenn Miller, Rudolph Nureyev, W.H. Auden, John Updike, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Victor Hugo, Cyd Charisse—to name but a few in a great sea of talent! What will you create?
Beach exercises for the Fish…
You love the seashore, but don’t just lie on the lounge chair reading the latest best seller! Running on sand burns nearly twice the calories as running on sidewalks because your feet and calves have to work harder to push off the constantly shifting surface, and your body has to stabilize itself as you move over the uneven surface. And, unlike pounding on pavement, running on sand is easier on your joints. Not a runner? Start with brisk walking and gradually build up your speed. Don’t forget to stretch afterward!
Your natural strengths make you an amazing friend…
How do you do it? Somehow you make every person you know think they are your one special friend. Perhaps it’s because you’re so perceptive. You just know when someone is hurting and needs a shoulder to lean on. Perhaps it’s your magnetic personality. You have a way of drawing in friends and making them feel important. Perhaps it’s your loyalty. Once you make a dear friend, you do all you can to make sure that person feels treasured and loved. Perhaps it’s your perceptive and generous insight. You deeply appreciate the unique inner qualities of each of your friends. You’re the best friend anyone could have!
The delicate and delightful Fish will love these treats…
Give a gift that any Fish would love. Fill a big, stylish turquoise beach tote with a handpicked selection of sea-inspired face and body products. Choose an algae-based skin lotion, sea salt shave cream, ocean mineral bath salts, exfoliating seaweed soap, beach sand foot scrub, and sunscreen infused with kelp (researchers have found that a chemical in seaweed has natural UV-blocking properties). And don’t forget to include a pair of comfy aqua-colored terry flip-flops and a big fluffy towel! Trashy romance novel optional.
Pisces, you are the prophet of the Zodiac…
You’re highly creative, receptive, and quite possibly psychic. Perhaps you have vivid dreams full of color and symbolism. What do they mean? First, capture them in a dream journal. When you awaken, even before you’re fully alert, write down what you remember. Use words, sketches, doodles, any means of expression will do. Then refer to books and websites to interpret your nighttime reveries. Fish swimming could signify subconscious insights. Flight dreams could mean freedom from a restriction or limitation. Oceans represent feelings and tranquility. What will your dreams reveal about you?
Put these movies in your watchlist!
Pisces are emotional beings who feel deeply. Yes, you love a good cry, but you don’t need to get all Wuthering Heights all the time. Rather than wallowing in sadness, lighten up with happier fare once in a while!
Okay, you’ll cry a bit when you see the late, great James Gandolfini with Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the charming Enough Said, but the laughs will balance out the tears. Funny girl Zooey Deschanel and sweet Joseph Gordon-Levitt star in (500) Days of Summer. And make sure you aren’t hungry when you watch Keri Russell whip up her fantastical pies in Waitress!
Fish, turn your emotions into weapons, not your perdition…
Pisces is sometimes called the sign of “sorrow from self-undoing”. This can be borne out if you try to escape from people or situations and lose yourself in addictive behavior. It could be innocent enough—too much TV or computer solitaire—or worse, overindulging in food, drugs, or alcohol. Escapism won’t help, but facing it can. Try a Zen technique and stop. Face your demons without distractions. Embrace the moment. Be present in your life. It takes courage to take yourself seriously, but really focusing on what you’re doing can help you choose more productive behaviors.
You’re stronger than you think!
You’re emotional, sometimes indecisive, and perhaps not terribly ambitious, but far from a quivering ball of jellyfish, you’re tougher than you look (and perhaps feel)! You may get sad, but it’s like trying to hold a beach ball underwater—your spirit always pop back up. Usually content to drift with the current, your capacity for hard work is unmatched for a cause dear to your heart. You personify the metals associated with Pisces—tin is easily melted and cast into any shape, but platinum can withstand acid, heat, and other abuse without being damaged!
The prefect scent for dreamy Pisces…
The Pisces sensitive soul responds to every nuance in the world around you. Your exceptional sense of smell means that fragrance is important to you. The right one can be calming or energizing. You love a scent redolent of the beach, like Ocean Dream Coral or Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers “G” of the Sea, which subtly blends water lily (one of your flowers) with red apple, jasmine, and amber. Ocean Pacific perfume combines water lily with violet and magnolia. For men, He Wood Ocean Wet Wood blends ocean, ambergris musk, and wood notes for a nature-inspired scent.
Teach others how you want to be treated, Pisces…
Pisces is so compassionate that you find it hard to believe when other people don’t quite rise to your level. People could take advantage of your trusting, open-hearted nature. If someone is always taking credit for your work, blaming you for things you didn’t do, or taking you for granted, you have two choices.
One is to avoid the issue. It won’t change the situation, and you’ll have to be content with the way things are. The other is to teach the person how you want to be treated. This takes backbone, but you’re up to it! Don’t just go with the flow, speak up. The person will change their behavior—or not. You can then decide whether to continue the relationship.
