All About Pisces

9 Astrology Insights Into Pisces

Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, gathers all of the wisdom from the journey of the other signs and uses this wisdom to seek an experience of life that transcends the boundaries of our material world. Sometimes this is done through spirituality or mysticism, sometimes through drugs, alcohol or television, but the ultimate goal is to experience something beyond the Self. Pisces is gentle, sensitive and empathetic, with a seemingly boundless compassion for the plight of others. Their connection to the spiritual realms inspires creativity, and they are often artistic, with vivid imaginations. To learn more about your Pisces friend or lover, read on!

Pisces in Love

Pisces is the quintessential romantic. Male or female, they are sweet and sentimental and exceptionally idealistic. With his or her heightened intuition, your Pisces lover is extremely sensitive to your needs and is eager to satisfy them since his/her happiness is dependent upon your own. Pisces can be elusive and are not very practical, preferring to dwell in the realm of the imagination rather than the everyday world of details. When they love, they love deeply and completely as their innate desire to lose themselves into their experiences creates a powerful love story full of magic and wonder. They are typically less interested in a raw and crude sexual experience than a spiritual experience of soul connection through the linking of the physical body. Their extreme openness to love makes them exceptionally vulnerable, and a Pisces who has been damaged in love can become bitter and afraid.

Pisces at Work

The ethereal nature and overactive imagination of Pisces can be difficult in the world of work if the work life is anchored in a rigid schedule and repetitive tasks. It is a rare Piscean who does not fantasize about a career in the creative arts where their flair for stepping outside of the everyday world is an asset rather than a liability. Your Pisces boss will be kind and compassionate, but the innate lack of confidence and ego means that they are not necessarily the most effective leader in the organization unless they surround themselves with workers who do not challenge their authority. The Pisces employee, on the other hand, is an exceptional team player as long as they are given the freedom to indulge in a daydream now and then. Their creativity will be an asset to any organization as long as their need for woolgathering does not become a problem.

Lessons for Pisces to Learn and Teach

While the Piscean individual has come to master the connection between the human life and the spiritual experience, they are not always adept at balancing the mundane realities of the everyday world with their visions and dreams. At their best they have a powerful spiritual connection that they bring to everything and everyone that they touch. At their worst they long to escape from the "real world" and retreat into their illusions. The lesson that Pisces teaches is the one of a spiritual being having a human experience. The lesson that Pisces is to learn comes from Virgo, their polar opposite: to integrate the earthly reality with the magic of the celestial realms.
