The Sun in Pisces can give a tremendous amount of empathy and compassion. Generosity may also be one of your many strengths! You are at your best when you are helping and healing others. Caring for others may come naturally to you. Yet, your heroic journey to your authentic self involves investing in yourself just as much as you invest in others. However, it is essential that you remember to maintain your sense of self–especially when helping others!
Astrology of Pisces:
Pisces is a water sign that is ruled by the planet Neptune, the Roman God of the Sea. Neptune embodies intuition, faith, illusion, and the mystical. In addition, Neptune can give the desire to transcend. Therefore, you may feel drawn to follow a spiritual path in life. If Neptune operates in a dysfunctional manner, it can create fogginess and confusion. On the other hand, you can be imaginative and intuitive if you are fully embracing the energy of Neptune.
Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing duality of being and emotion. One fish swims along the earthly plane, while the other moves towards the heavens. You may feel pulled between both worlds. Therefore, you must learn to allow your awareness of the material world and your perception of the spiritual world to coexist in a balanced way.
Like all astrological signs, you can be functional or dysfunctional in the expression of your Piscean qualities. In fact, your “superpowers” are the abilities that come naturally to you! However, a lack of balance can lead to behavior that prevents you from being your best. These habits, much like “kryptonite”, can limit your potential.
Pisces Superpowers:
- Your intuition is one of your biggest gifts! Your perception and insight are unmatched. Yet, you should always make sure that your insights are not clouded by illusion.
- Seeing the best in people and situations is one of your strengths. You may be very idealistic and inclined to have faith that everything will work out for the best.
- Go with the flow! You tend to be highly flexible. Adapting to changing currents may come easily to you.
- Being of service to others could be one of your greatest forms of expression. You feel called to help others in any way that you can. However, it’s important to remember that you cannot save everyone–especially those who do not want help.
- How creative you are! You may express your natural sense of creativity and imagination through music, art, photography, film, or dance. Creative activities allow you to align with who you truly are.
Pisces Kryptonite:
- Stay grounded! It may be easy for you to lose focus and forget about daily tasks. Make sure that you are paying attention to details. Otherwise, it’s easy to miss deadlines and other important obligations.
- On the other hand, you may be vulnerable to depression or illness if you are too consumed with the demands of daily life. Connecting to the spiritual dimension of life is essential for you. Activities such as yoga or meditation may be helpful.
- Due to your high level of sensitivity, you may be negatively affected by your surroundings. You may pick up on the thoughts and feelings of others and feel that they belong to you. Therefore, make sure that you are spending enough time in solitude to recharge your own physical and psychological batteries.
- At times, you may feel the need to “escape.” This may lead to detrimental behavior involving the overuse of substances, alcohol, sex, food, or sleep. Additions could be used to escape responsibilities.
- Boundaries are important! You tend to be a natural peacekeeper who aims to avoid conflict. Remember that it’s ok to enforce boundaries to protect your sense of self and your peace of mind.
Pisces Life Lessons:
- If out of balance, you may think of yourself often as a victim of life. Counter that tendency by stepping into your own power and accepting responsibility when necessary. Be straightforward, without misrepresenting the truth.
- You may see others through rose-colored glasses, especially in your personal relationships. This could lead to relating to others in a co-dependent manner. Remember to see people for who they truly are–not who you want them to be.
- It’s ok to take care of yourself while you are helping others. Self-care is not a selfish act! You do not need to sacrifice your health and well-being in service to other people.
- Find balance between material concerns and spiritual aspirations. Think of daily life as a training ground for self-growth and spiritual development.
- Channel your imagination in a positive way! If you use your imagination in a negative way, you might be prone to magnifying small issues or not allowing yourself to see the reality of circumstances.
