The watery yogini…
Perhaps you thought that people did yoga only to tone up muscles and improve balance, but it can do so much more than that. How about regulate your immune system and rev up your energy? Two 90-minute sessions a week can cut inflammation and ease fatigue. You’ll be less stressed (so you’ll sleep better) and feel more energetic. What’s not to love? Embrace your inner warrior as you stimulate blood flow with Fish Pose and calm your brain with Dolphin Pose.
Channeling your Pisces intuition to your advantage…
You’re the master when it comes to intuiting what’s going on with others, but do you spend as much time figuring out what’s going on with you? Perhaps you suffer from anxiety, muscle spasms, high blood pressure, or migraines without really knowing why. The mind-body technique known as bio-feedback might help. It allows you to influence seemingly involuntary physical functions, such as how your body reacts to stress—one cause of muscle tension and increased blood pressure. Find a therapist who can help you understand how you respond to stress and offer calming breathing techniques, meditation, and guided imagery.
Is Pisces the most compassionate sign? Maybe!
There’s a deep well of sensitivity, generosity, and sympathy in your watery depths. Of course, these qualities make you a wonderful friend and partner, but you also extend that compassion to any being in need of nurturing. Stray, hungry, or injured animals tug at your heartstrings. You can’t bring them all home with you, of course, so feed that inner need to help by volunteering at a local animal shelter. Frightened dogs need a friend for walks and games until they find their forever homes. Newborn feral kittens need to be socialized, bottle-fed, and cuddled before they’re ready to interact with a new human family. Give a little love and get so much more in return!
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!
Taking a trip?
Lost in your watery reverie, some might unkindly call you irresponsible. You’re a dreamer. You have more important (or at least more interesting) things to think about than the practical nitty-gritties of daily life!
Turn what some might consider a fault into a new way to travel. If you’re always forgetting half the things you meant to pack—dressy clothes, sunscreen, raincoat—take the opportunity to explore and mingle with the locals at your destination. There’s a better than even chance that they wear clothes, and that the shops will have everything you need. You’ll meet people, figure out the currency, and have some cool, unique stuff to show off when you get home!
You can have it all…
Because your sign is mutable and watery, you adapt easily to almost any situation. That makes for a great work environment, but are you missing out on what <i>you</i> want because you’re always going along with everybody else? You’re a dreamer and a thinker, so you probably have a pretty good idea of what you need!
Try focusing your thoughts away from the group by taking a labyrinth walk. There are thousands of these winding paths around the world. Strolling slowly with intent and focus can bring clarity to your needs and desires. Return to your life prepared to stick up for what you want!
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?
