caTTerritory: ME, THE PISCEANS!

PISCES
<3 February 19 - March 20 <3

Pisces is the twelfth Sign of the Zodiac, and it is also the final Sign in the Zodiacal cycle. Hence, this Sign brings together many of the characteristics of the eleven Signs that have come before it. Pisceans, however, are happiest keeping many of these qualities under wraps. These folks are SELFLESS, SPIRITUAL and much focused on their INNER JOURNEY. They also place great weight on what they are feeling. Yes, FEELINGS DEFINE PISCEANS, and it's not uncommon for them to feel their own burdens (and joys) as well as those of others. Many people associate Pisceans with DREAMS and SECRETS, and it's a fair association, since those born under this Sign feel comfortable in an illusory world.

It's a pair of Fish that represents Pisceans, a symbol to suggest that these people ‘GO WITH THE FLOW’ and ‘DON'T MAKE WAVES.’ Both of these labels are true, since Pisceans are FLUID and EASY-GOING. The fact that two fish represent the members of this Sign also speaks to the duality of Pisceans. Pisceans alternate between REALITY and NON-REALITY in keeping with their introspective natures. For this reason, Pisceans can be HARD TO PIN DOWN, prompting some to call them the chameleons of the Zodiac. The Fish are happy to be considered HAZY. That said, they won't stay away for long, since one of their primary goals is to help others. Pisceans are COMPASSIONATE, CHARITABLE and will quickly put the needs of others ahead of their own. It's this kind of self-sacrifice which keeps these folks going.

Pisces is ruled by the Planets Jupiter and Neptune. The pairing of these two heavenly bodies results in some unique energies being directed toward Pisceans. Those born under this Sign are SPIRITUALLY ORIENTED and charitable. They are compassionate, EASILY FEELING ANOTHER’S PAIN. At times, however, Pisceans can have difficulty distinguishing fact from fantasy: they tend to get caught up in their dreams and views of how things should be. Many Pisceans also immerse themselves in the ARTS and other CREATIVE PURSUITS as a centering mechanism, and they are quite talented in these areas.

The Element associated with Pisces is WATER. Those born under this Sign easily relate to the EMOTIONAL and UNPREDICTABLE NATURE of this liquid gold. Pisceans feel a great deal, and they also feel misunderstood much of the time. They're NOT QUITE PUSHOVER, but they're certainly SENSITIVE. Yes, they could CRY YOU A RIVER if the circumstances were right. Even so, they revel in their compassionate and imaginative natures and love to cater to others. They can also be quite ROMANTIC, dreaming up delicious treats for their lover. Hopefully, any kindness will be reciprocated, because the Fish can certainly turn blue if they're not. Pisceans are generally GENTLE, EASY-GOING FOLK, who are on the SHY and reticent side.

More relaxation for the Fish comes in the way of sports, specifically water sports. Soothing comfort does come in a world colored in purple and soft white. When it comes to the game of love, Pisceans are CARING and romantic and a MOST CREATIVE MATE!

The great strength of the Pisces-born is their compassionate and charitable nature. These folks love to help others and do so in the most imaginative of ways.

IT’S THEIR FEELING SESIBILITY THAT WINS PEOPLE OVER!!
