One of twelve equal signs. They're not superior beings, neither are they devil fish either. Well, not all of them. The common or garden Pisces is generally quite nice, really. At least the ones I have met, and my life has been teeming with fishy folk.

So let's give it up for Pisces, and celebrate the good things this sign has to offer. Things we can see in the Pisces influenced people about us. Who are for example:

GENTLE & SYMPATHETIC
A childhood friend of mine got a bit of hassle for not being the average beer-swilling, football-watching, kind of English guy. Must be why I liked him. I doubt I am the only woman who likes men who are gentle and prove to be good listeners. Well, I'm not, because he was soon hooked up, and the angler told me she couldn't believe her good fortune. Still married, kids, no fish pond in their garden though.

CARING & SENSITIVE
It's a sensitive water sign, and people who have this sign strong on their charts tend to be, well, sensitive. When that gets directed to other people, which it often does, you get a caring person. That's hard to criticise, isn't it? If it is a passive kind of caring, that is O.K, as well. There are other signs ready to leap up and take action following on from the example Pisces has quietly set.

There are two Pisceans amongst my friends who are both in the habit of contacting me at regular intervals, checking I am O.K. It's not a big thing, but it is appreciated. Pisces doesn't demand fanfares. One of them is an artist, tucked away in the countryside with her animals. Very Piscean. Which brings me on to my next theme.

ARTISTIC & TUNED INTO THE WORLD
Think of an artist, an actor, and a writer who is a Pisces. See? Not hard, that. It won't take you long. Pisces are tuned into the emotions of their environment. When that feeling gets channelled into art, you get art as a conduit of emotion. Which is what it is supposed to be, isn't it? But don't take my paltry word for it.

No Pisces has ever turned nasty on me, that I recall. Mr BM's best pal is of this sign and heads off outside for a ciggie if there is any sign of a squabble. He doesn't like arguments. Or politics, either.

I quite like him, though, rather him than Tony Bliar.

My late aunt was a staunch Labour supporter *sigh*, political rows just aren't the same at Christmas any more.

Also, American Founding Fathers George Washington and James Madison were both Pisces.

And for all the Mac lovers out there, Steve Jobs is a double Pisces.

I think, from being a Nirvana fan, that Cobain loved people so much he ended up hating them, this I can relate to being a Fish myself. And HE took his disdain for humanity and enacted it upon himself, again allegedly.

The other guy may have had the same issues tho projected onto others.

It is almost like an over compensation for the love they once felt for people.

The Pisces cares and love so much, but it becomes so difficult when we see that society is so messed up. I have gone on my own verbal hate sprees of "humanity."

Most of the time, I just stay away from pop culture and the general public. It just hurts too much to see humanity destroying itself.

I dunno, just my thoughts, takes one to know one.
