One thing I have noticed in my current incarnation as a Pisces person, is the terrible and debilitating reaction I often feel, seeing images of suffering on the TV and in magazines.I know many people get those oufcourse, but I find (especially considering the reactions of my friends and family), I respond on a much deeper level and it really can put me into a gloomy dark place for a terrible amount of time. Was just on the bbc.com website and some of the images that have won the annual global photo-journalism awards are truely heart wrenching. Whats with the world? I know there is a lot of good in it (of course) but the terrible suffering that is perpetuated by just being alive, it disturbs me and sadens me. It goes beyond words really....

You know quark, I am a cap sun with pisces moon and sometimes I feel that way too, when I was off for my school trip to sri lanka, our teachers gave us like clear instructions on not to give money to any beggars or well normally people on the streets, mostly handicapped beg for money, and she told that esp to me, cause I usually give money, but this time I agreed to listen to her, or otherwise she would embarress me, so anyways I see this old lady, handicapped, something weird happened to her legs, and she couldn't sit properly, but she was out there in the hot sun, some necklaces she made was there, she was begging, and crying, and looking at her, I felt like crying too, because I felt so bad, I just wanted to go there and hug her and give her all the money! she was sitting all alone, trying to be brave. I mean my friends were like real happy cause they get to go to the mall (not a big fan of shopping. lol, except for books and perhaps music and movies.) I mean maybe some of them felt really bad too. So yeah I feel really bad and I can empathize. Anyways I'm kind of sentimental, but I never really knew that, you know? I've a pisces best friend and she is one of the most intense, deepest persons I know, I guess I could say she helped me discover my sentimental side, before I was a normal school kid,a bit shallow though, but she really made me discover a hidden side of myself, noone knows that much about her, cause she puts a very good act of being all you know shallow. I think its really good you feel that, you can empathize with them. It shows your really caring, but don't feel guilty or anything, its not really good for you. You pisceans are actually really cool. and you guys talk too much, its kind of admirable that you've just entered this september and you've 45 posts, and I've been here since December, and I've only got some 80 something posts, kind of jealous  .
Peace

Quark,I can very much relate to this topic. I am a pisces sun, cancer moon, scorp asc and I react to visual things very emotionally. The other day my husband and I were driving and there was an elderly gentleman on the side of the road with a walker trying to hitch a ride...Of course, I know this could have been a ploy, but it affected me deeply. So deeply, that I started to cry. He knew immediately why I was crying and consoled me, knowing how I am. Sometimes I believe it is a gift: to be able to absorb human emotion on such an internal level. It gives much understanding and tolerance. But on the other hand, it makes dealing with life's reality very difficult to handle. I have not watched the news regarding the hurricanes. I refuse to. It just affects me too much and I believe that, for the most part, journalists tend to sensationalize everything. It seems unfair to me that they use circumstances such as human suffering to further their success. Some report with genuine interest. But in my opinion, most are widely unaffected by it and that bothers me, so I refuse to watch. Anyway....I think if everyone would develop the positive tendencies of their picean attributes, the world would be a much kinder place to exist in. IP: Logged |

Thank you for your kind reply. I feel so much better now.I cant believe I have over 40 posts Surely I havent written that much! Ive been trying to restrain myself a little. I go through these periods of intense quiet and occasional intense verbosity in real life. Online though its cool, coz I can just blurt and blurt and... there I go again.... Im developing a friendship at the moment with a Capricorn girl I only met recently, she has a scorpio moon. Its amazing, I have never really had that many Capricorn friends but we seem to really synergise with each other. There is an odd understanding there. Its been really refreshing. And she is so strong but also venerable as well, they are really interesting personalities.... Thanks again. Reply's like that pull me out of the doldrems. Love and Light IP: Logged |

Spelllbound, I saw some hurricane footage here in oz that made me shed tears. There was a man who had lost his wife and children, and his house was washed away. And he was just standing there crying and repeating "They are gone. They are just gone"....I couldnt help it, I just broke down infront of my family. They all think I am crazy. I am a nurse as well, specialising in palliative care. One of the main reasons I'm trying to retrain is that I just can't take the emotional baggage anymore. Nurses often force their emotions underneath and I have years of buried feeling i need to get rid of. I just cant do it anymore, even though the job is close to my heart. IP: Logged |

Hey all, another Piscean here. I am the exact same way too. I feel so for ppl, I can just walk by a person and feel their sadness sometimes. Its like being a magnet and ppl's feelings are like steel and
as I walk by I just pick it all up. I have a lil Pisces son and he says all the time mom I just feel sorry for ppl and this sometimes is just out of the blue, he is like me for real. Case at point and I think that I have told this story b4 but I will tell it again for you guys. I was on the train one morning heading to work and sitting in front of me was a young lady and I looked in the window and the sun was shining and in the window I was able to see her reflection and she was crying oh did I feel her and I knew why she was crying to. (man issues) I just wanted so bad to touch her shoulder and tell her it will be okay trust me. But I did not I just went about my business.. Being the last sign is something to really understand a Pisces you have to be one or have really been close to one.. IP: Logged |

Quark a cappy girl is good for a Pisces guy.
I have dated quite a few cappy guys and I have a few cappy guy friends and we just melt into each other. Even if the relationship does not work you guys will still be able to remain friends..Also I watched footage from the hurricanes and it broke me down so bad. I sat on the edge of my bed one morning getting ready for work and just cried for those ppl. IP: Logged |

Mama, I really agree with you there.I've often thought of creating some sort of little club or something. Sometimes I feel like Im a very old man staring back at the world through grey misty eyes, and other times I feel like a little boy just wanting to run back to the arms of my mummy! Its a hard feeling to explain. I was having this conversation with a Scorpio friend of mine (very close), and the best I could do was something along the lines of "Its like having one foot in and one foot out of the world". Occasionaly you meet someone new, figure out they are also a Pisces (many are into astrology and the esoteric I have noticed) and immediately there is an unspoken bond, an understanding. So much of the experience of feeling like a Pisces goes beyond words, its very hard to write down, its ephemeral, like the touch of breath on glass... I think thats why we often 'dissapear' into our surroundings or are generally misunderstood. IP: Logged |

thats great that you feet better . I mean you shouldn't feel bad, you're caring and you are very sensitive to other peoples feeling so your empathic and thats a really amazing quality, a quality I admire a lot . I mean, I know, that whenever I'm sad, I can go to my piscean friend and she'll understand me and feel my pain. And LOL just joking about the talkative thing, well its good to be interactive, and you're already popular . You shouldn't feel bad, you seem like a very accepting, easy going and wise person.. I have a pisces friend whose a guy, you kind of remind me of him, he is a very intensely emotional.. a strange kind of gloomines surrounds him, always there to help you, kind of sensitive, but funny, very wise, very open-minded, and very accepting, we all love him a lot (as a friend) and thats really refreshing to the "macho" act some guys put on (I don't mean being macho is bad or something) I mean so many guys in my school think its cool to bully, its disgusting. I really hope we have more guys like you in this world
Anyways its good you feel a good kind of connection with the cappy girl . I'm not very strong though, and I can be very vulnerable and I normally used to repress that, but my piscean friend has charmed me and helped me learn to let go and I'm myself with her .Peace out Soniaz

Thats really good cappy. Its good to hear you have such a nice friend, I recommend keeping her for the long run, those ones are worth having Its been a long time since Ive been in school (I've been at university now allmost seven years! Can you believe it....) but I used to get picked on an awfull lot. Dont worry though, you will meet bully's all the way through your life, but as you get older they become a lot easier to deal with, and seem a lot more silly! I noticed you are from Dubai? I was born in a place called Bahrain which I'm sure you are familiar with. Allthough I am not Bahraini. My parents met whilst working there. One day I would love to go back and see the desert where I spent my youth. Going to get to bed now. Its very late here in Australia. You look after yourself my friend, and take care Love and light.

Just the other day I was thinking wishfully of not having been born with a Pisces Moon. had I been born in the afternoon instead of the morning, I'd have an Aries Moon instead. I do love some things related to my moon, but its difficult to handle sometimes. I'll walk into a place, and immediatly absorb the negativity. Sometimes its so bad, I'll actually feel my stomache tighten and get a headache. Or, when people are mean to me it will bug me for awhile. Then, I get spaced out a lot. I'll try to be more structured and organized, but eventually I have to go into dream land. About empathy, boy do I empathize. The other day, there was a funeral card placed in our work's lounge. The kind people hand out at funerals, with the picture and rememberance of the deceased. It was a little six year old boy elated to one of my coworkers, who'd passed on in a car accident. I felt so awful, my son is six years old. I went home and couldn't stop kissing and hugging my two kids, feeling so bad for those parents who no longer have the miracle of their little ones around.IP: Logged |

I use to think that I wanted to change my sun sign but nope not at all. Being a Pisces is very special. Pisces moon equally as special too. I have Aqua moon though, in the 12th house that is. Pisces moon ppl are just as special as the sun. Any aspects in the neptune,Pisces 12th house aspect is special. PPl are scared of 12t house placements but it is all in the way you percieve it when you are aware of it..I have Venus and my moon in the 12th house and I recieve it and use it in a good way and not in the bad way that some ppl that know about it percieve it..Pisces have the ups on things that most are sleeping on..

Ya know, to me it is just amazing that in our culture, even today that emotionalism is considered such a "weak" trait..But throughout this post (and many others) I have seen first-hand the compassion and genuine love that people give to people that they don't know from Adam. It's amazing that people connect on such an unphysical level and that words alone can move someone to joy, to tears, and to being lifted out of whatever haze they are currently under. It's just amazing.
I love being a pisces..I love all of the water that exists in my chart. (Pisces Sun, Cancer moon, sco rising, pisces mars, cancer jupiter) I feel completely fluid and agree that it's like having one foot in this world and one foot in the next. I recently had a friend of mine tell me that I soul stalk..and it actually made me laugh because it is very true. I don't want to know the superficial things about a person..I want to know their "true selves". And by getting someone to reveal and to get in touch with that sometimes untapped, hidden identity they end up understanding themselves more..and in turn I learn more about myself. It almost makes me feel "more human" to know that people feel pain, bleed, and cry just as I do. Not that being a pisces is all about crying and emotions, but being an emotional sponge definately is..it's a gift and a curse..but I still believe the old addage that love heals all..and will give all the love I have away for one person to feel joy..experience love...acceptance..understanding..and completion..emotionalism isn't weakness..I just think too many people are scared to face their own demons and come to terms with what it is about them that makes them hurt..Finding that source, that emotion, that reaction ultimately leads to healing..why is that such a bad thing?IP: Logged |

Awwww thanks for the lovely comments MM, especially about the 12th house. I have Merucry right in the middle of the 12th, with Neptune, the Sun, and Mars at the cusp nearly in the 1st. You're right, there's much negativity said about this house-sometimes the 8th house as well. I've read descriptions ranging from "likely to be imprisoned" to "likely to be raped". Yikes. As for the 8th house Sun/Mars placements "likely to experience a violent, untimely death". Now why the bad reputation? Maybe its the fear of the unknown? Due to Water ruling the unconciouss??????IP: Logged |

Yes, it's another thing if you have Pisces influences, neptune/1st house, and at the same time there is a strong mercury so I do a lot of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time when I am emotionally upset. Driving along in a bmv convertibe can suddenly **** me off when I see a homeless man on the road, or (in my head) my poor friend gets a verbal lashing for being stupid and selfish when he just gave me a ride! Hard to deal with of course, I do a lot of gum chewing to keep my mouth shut, but I paint, draw, photograph, work out, sew-do everything else. I get really ****** at people with fancy cars, that cost as much as a house, their cars are a joke because they could house ten families. Anyway it's not easy living with such negativity it's true, on the other hand looking on the bright side may be another person's job.
Love is kindness, and if you look around hard enough there are people giving out kindness-
virgos, some cancers.. I can't live without kindness but I have to go get it, it doesn't come from inside. My Scorpio mother saw pain everywhere, she was the most negative person on earth to the point where she was only happy with a drink. I don't want to be that way but I am-only I know it's my weakness and I seek out happy people. I wish I could be friends with more Pisces but eventually we weight ourselves down, or get too involved emotionally-it's painful. The last Pisces I was involved with was deported-he was here illegally-and I still miss him-he cared about me when I had nothing-took me in and caref or me like a sister for no reason-he deserved so much-but all he got was negativity-now I try very hard to help Cancers and Pisces-if I can.

How do I deal with all this pisces.sun moon mercury venus and saturn in pisces. all in the 10 th house except for the mercury in the 11th. With a taurus or gemini ascendant.
I detest all this water. keep me bogged down. I Have no planet in fire or air except for possible my gemini ascendant. Pisces have made me interested in astrology. But i ahave tried to stay away from all the negative influences like drugs and alcohol. IP: Logged |

"But i ahave tried to stay away from all the negative influences like drugs and alcohol."This is something I have struggled with all my life, and I'm still not tottaly on top of it. I have an on again off again relationship with drugs, especially party drugs. Neptune and I go back a long way. When I was in my late teens I had a very heavy amphetamine habit, and were taking e's like smarties most weekend. You would shudder to know what I have put into my body. As shamed as I am to say it, I have also had my time with needles and the 'crack' pipe. I've never stolen or hurt anyone to feed my habit or partyin', but Ive often shocked myself and friends at my ability to achieve oblivion. This year is the cleanest I have been, just a few e's and a little bit of speed. I can feel the end of it all coming on soon actually, its been strange, since I have broken the 25year old mark, things have really slowed down. But Im still so drawn to that type of thing... Hope you dont have a lower opinion of me now, Im not a junky or anything... but I'm terribly prone to escapism. Love and light

WOW Quark confession is good for the SOUL..Don't worry no one is here to judge we have all done somethings that we are ashame of. They say that Pisces and Aqua's are prone to drinking and drug doing. That might be true I don't know. I am Pisces and I have never been caught up on any drugs or alcohol,but trust me I have seen enough of my close ppl into it. And I just want to say that you can beat it all the way. We have the ability to over come anything trust me. IP: Logged |

I have to stay away from substances for that reason.
Alchohol - There's too much -ism of it in my family. I don't touch it now.
Pot - I've tried it, but actually hated the feeling of being high. It was incredibly unpleasant to me.
LSD - I tried this, believe it or not, a few years ago after watching the History Channel's "The History of LSD". The program talked of its prior use in talk therapy; I thought that it might lead to some insight.
I don't regret doing it - it was an intensely interesting experience - but I won't do it again. If nothing else, it has too much a potential to become a habit and in doing so fry my brain. ~~~ I've had several people tell me that with my Pisces Sun sq. Neptune, I shouldn't so much as look sideways at even non-prescription meds  IP: Logged |

I have a Virgo brother, he is allways lecturing me He is studying to be a school teacher oddly enough. I have met some amazing Virgo people, allthough I often find they are a little perplexed by the insane maddy aqua fishy vibe that I give off sometimes. It would be cool if more of them took the time to get to know me before judging me and then giving me a lecture! Its a pity because I allways sensed the possibility of long term friendship in a lot of Virgo's.... Maybe I willl have the pleasure of one later on in my life. And scuse my ozzy ignorance, but who is Bill O'Reilley? IP: Logged |

Bill O'Reilley from the "O'Reilley Factor".If they air his program where your from.He is a very controversial news reporter in the U.S,because he gets to meat of things. You remind me of my 3 Pisces church members.I am very confused when I'm around them.One of them a female is vague when she talks in from of people or when i ask her for advice.The other a male,is quiet and like Einstein,always have theories.The 3rd is the eldest of them she's 62 yrs. old.She is strongly involved her church activities.
