I am not very sure on how I display my empathy, visually, to others. I mean I might feel (or understand a situation) internally, however when it comes to displaying it outwardly, I think I would just be quiet or say few words (like “it happens”, “its life”, “what can one do”) and just be with the moment (quiet, pondering over the situation, feeling for the other person etc).

Hi Villy,Pisces moon here. I usually give a statement that speaks of my concern e.g. That sounds like it would be hard, or Yeah that would make me mad too. Then I have time to think of a possible solution, or be ready for more listening. I may also just say that I feel for them, but am thinking about what was said. That also validates that you were listening to them. We don't have to gush emotion to show support. Just a few words of acknowledgement may be all it takes. ------------------

I'm a Pisces moon with a lot fo air in my chart. I tend to express my empathy in a rather detached, intellectualized way. I have two Pisces friends with air moons - one Libra and then other Aqua - and they're a lot more emotive than me. I'm not sure how that works. But they're good about communicating their empathy is ways that is much more personal and warm than I do. I tend to make a philosophy lecture out of it.  IP: Logged |

My fish man (ha. i shouldnt call him 'my') has this thing he does when he's being empathetic. at first it drove me nuts. he says "awwwww". first off, not a sound you hear MEN, esp hetero men make...second, is it sincere? is it sarcastic? i just NEVER make that awww noise, not even for kittens, or babies.... other times, when he does not say 'awww', he expresses empathy in a really cool way...he just builds me up, tells me that i am doing an awesome job with whatever it was i was doubting myself about. i love it when he does this...the total belief in my abilities thing...its very nice. hope that helps. i know yuo fish are constantly empathetic, because you know the weight of the world better than anyone, you're just able to swim from it when you need to. ------------------

I should add that I'm very different with animals and children. I find it easier to express empathy towards animals - I'm completely different with animals than with people. Like with my cats, I'm always cooign adn cuddling them. But with people, I don't coo and I would prefer they didn't touch me or even stand close to me.With children I'm more tender and soft than with adults, although I'm still reserved. I don't like to hold infants or give kids hugs or kisses. I express emapthy to kids in other ways. It's why I'm a good teacher - I can empathize with them enough to understand and address their needs, yet detached enough to maintain a teacher-student relationship with them. My students don't see me as a mother figure for sure - I'm definitely "Teacher". IP: Logged |

What do you all think of Pisces energy, (from subtle to obvious), making OTHERS show empathy.See if you catch what I'm asking in all its full glory ... Thank you. ------------------

lol whinging? Did I catch it?I think no one gets sympathy easier than someone with strong Pisces energy, though they don't always realise it. They can talk about their woes for a lengthy time, when depressed. As to displaying empathy, my best friend (Pisces) listens until the other person is done talking. She doesn't usually interupt or ask questions and I've noticed she doesn't give advice unless asked. But it's pretty much like Villy said. It's more so a presence thing - being there for the other- ..She has a very healing presence, so she doesn't really have to say much. People *know* she cares. I've known many Pisces and Pisces mooners lol.. For some reason the Pisces vibe isn't as straight forward with the moon. I haven't met any Pisces suns I would describe as hypocritical or evasive or critical.. except for the one Pisces guy who also *had* a Pisces moon. I don’t think I’ve met any girls with a Pisces moon, so maybe it’s the ‘male hiding moon’ thing.. I know a Leo/Pisces guy, a Virgo/Pisces, a Scorpio/Pisces and used to know Mr. Pisces/Pisces.. The Virgo/Pisces is a sweetheart and truly shows the traits of this moon in a positive way. He is kind, empathetic, has a calming tone of voice and is an all around genuine, caring person.. on the negative side he did have drug addiction problems, but he’s getting better. The other three all had something in common, they have some sort of issue with the women they are attracted to. As soon as they are attracted, criticisms pour out. They all wear a cross around their necks, are strong believers in God, go to church, pray and make it known that they *pray*, but then are hypocritical enough to hurt their love interests, very often intentionally, because they don’t live up to some over idealised standard.. Their attitude is kinda like “you’re being imperfect again, on purpose, to hurt me aren’t you?” so they take it personally, get judgemental and ‘punish’, through silences and emotional blackmail, for wrong doings that never happened.. I’m thinking this may come from the over idealisation of their mother figure and feeling that no other girl could ever live up.. something like that. They all are very close to their mums and at leats two of their mums seem clingy. IP: Logged |

Villy, looks like your water feels things deeply, but your fire is the outward display, with the quick and to the point answers. You might be able to show more outward empathy by just listening and nodding, if you can be patient enough to last through it.
My Pisces friend listened to me during a very tough time and to this day I will take every opportunity to listen to her and offer support. Her empathy was very meaningful to me.

Lauren -I appreciate your thoughtful insight.
MysticMelody -
If I'm not mistaken, what you and Lauren might be saying is that Pisces are just the most extreme astrological example of Mutability and passiveness. Being that it is the last Sign incarnation, that would make sense. I guess it is the only possible preparation for the transcendence needing to take place to get back to Aries again. That's what comes to mind, anyways. ------------------
