I started Linda's chapter on Pisces-Aquarius, but the wine from dinner is kicking in and I thought I'd ask if anyone could offer any personal insight into this pairing. I feel lost when it comes to Pisces. Linda talks about Aquarius learning from Pisces as they're ahead of them in the Karmic wheel of life...still trying to get a clearer look at the dynamics between these two signs.Any thoughts/experiences? Thanks! IP: Logged |

I think the Aquarius and Pisces energies are naturally acclamated to each other.IP: Logged |

I dated a fish once when I was younger. We could never get it together. I can't even remember what attracted me to him in the first place. Oh wait, I remember. It was at a party, he was the center of attention (taking the spotlight from me, grrr...), he was funny, and dressed flashy, and was in a band. But after a few months, the shiny bits washed away to reveal someone who was putting on airs, and he didn't really understand anything he was talking about in the first place. He was one of those people who did everything because it was cool, and didn't really have a personality of his own, which was really sad. I think I was a bit too much for him, being the free spirit, flaky Aqua girl I am. Maybe it was becuase we were young, (I was 18, he was 21), but it wasn't right. I've never been interested in any fishes since then, so I can't share a positive story, sorry. But my best friend in high school was a Pisces, that's one thing...IP: Logged |

I can talk about it from the Fish's perspective (though I have an Aqua Moon conjunct - to the degree - my husband's Sun, so it may be a little off...).I have to agree w/ tril - one of the main, binding attractors is that we're both a little (or a lotta) weird, and we like that. That is to say, we both really like (take pleasure in, understand the need for, appreciate) each other's (many, many) eccentricities, absent-minded moments, and general ADD tendencies. I don't know if he "learns" from me - you'd have to ask him, but I know that I can look at his need to take on causes and call everyone and the butcher his "friend" (I have many acquaintances, but it takes a good deal for me to call someone a "friend" - he gives that label to people that he's talked to once) with a general, congeneal reception. And while we don't always immediately "get" the motives of the other, we can always know that the other at least *means* the best in what they do (which is nice). I'd write more, but the kiddo's squirming a good bit. Let me know if I've been of any use/if ya wanna hear more. IP: Logged |

Which astrologer said the one way to tell if someone is an Aquarius is because of their repeated use of the word "friend", and how they call everyone "friend"?Read that ages ago, and it always stuck, and it's absolutely 100% true. IP: Logged |

I am guilty of throwing aroung the "friend" word. I may use it for people I seem to click with..even if only for a few moments. ghanima81, thank you for your story-no apologies, not all stories are completely happy ones. The Pisces I'm referring to is pretty big on social scenes, trendy places, etc., which is not my cup of tea. But he is very, very laid back (could be his moon conj. venus), and seems to like quiet one-on-one time. proxieme, of course it's good for me to gain the fish's perspective. (heh, when I pointed out the fish on his shower curtain he said casually, "Well, I am a Pisces"). So, the more stories and insight the better! I find this guy a little unpredictable (I know, that's supposed to be my territory lol). He's very artistic and expressive with it, which I really like. Prox, may I ask, were you the first one to extend an emotional overture? You know how air signs don't usually warm up that way off the bat, but this guy really pushes me to talk when he thinks something is weighing on my mind. He has a lot of air and fire in his chart-Aries Moon and Venus with Mercury and Mars in Aquarius (like me). Oh, and, Congratulations! I'm a little late. lol Ok, I'll stop babbling now. Thanks everyone! IP: Logged |

Hi Oxychick,I've been with my waterbearer for almost 2 years. We both have mercury and venus in aquarius. I'll tell you about it later this afternoon when I have more time Nina IP: Logged |

It has been my experience that an aquarians weak spot is always a pisces. Aquarians are such a cool sign. There out there, checking things out, interacting, testing the water for themselves. They're very much a people "person" and have a wide (and diverse)circle of friends. They're not going to judge you because they don't want to fix your life. So in that sense they are detatched (and stubborn) there motto is "to each there own" All the other signs can sense this and its usually the aquarian that keeps others "on hold or lukewarm" Now before I finish I want to say, I don't want any feedback from Pisces who misunderstand this. This is not a slam, this is astrology. Pisces on the other hand is a marshmallow. It sees and feels things the rest of us miss. Some true and some not so true. Pisces is the last sign (if you do it right, your last incarnation) Conspiracy Theroy comes to mind, they get off on complicating matters. Pisces makes problems for themselves to test (manipulate) motivation from others (then thier feelings are hurt when others don't measure up) All the other signs CAN (not nessasarily will though) use and take advantage of Pisces passive nature (not aquarians) and thier internal confusion. Aquarians can't help but feel for these wounded people, Pisces catch on fast and will (sometimes) make Fools of them (already high minded Aquarians) while proving whatever to themselves. (thier reasoning seldom makes sense to me to much emotion involved when making thier decisions) The rest of us stand back with our mouths open wondering how that happened, when we can't even get that close (to aquarians). Get it? Hypothetically everyone wants an aquarian everyone takes advantage of pisces Aquarians want Pisces Pisces makes fools (if thats how they test, use your own word) of a sign the rest of us can't reach.IP: Logged |

re: Jase and the overture: I was the first one to walk up and start talking (but, then, I do have a Leo Mars), but I didn't do it to hit on him...I thought that he was "with" his friend Matt at the time (it was a Rocky Horror Picture Show showing and they were both in make-up and risque dress) - I just wanted someone to hang with during the show as I went spur-of-the-moment and didn't have anyone with me. I pretty quickly discovered that he wasn't "with" anyone; we kinda attached onto one another for the duration of that night. I gave him my number (upon his asking) and he was the one with the chutzpah to call and ask me out for coffee the next day. I accepted and the rest is history. Another note: I'm not sure how representative Jase might be on this front, if for no other reason than his Scorp Asc and his very heavily aspected 4th House Pisces Mars - he can be quite emotional if you catch him at the right time, and the boy's borderline (maybe more than borderline) psychic...incredibly empathetic and intuitive at the very least. For what it's worth re: your situation and his pushing you to talk: I don't know if I "push" Jase to do anything, but he can actually be quite reserved around groups and people that he doesn't yet know (Scorp Rising, I guess) but he was never so with me. I was incredibly surprised the first time that I saw him in a social situation around people that he didn't know, and I'm contiually so each time it happens. And thanks for the Congrats lalalinda - No worries This Fish, at least, is not offended; I see those tendencies all the time in myself, my Mom, and Step-Mom (all around the same degree Pisces Suns). I think that a large part of the reason we (often unconsiously) perform emotional tests AND get emotionally taken is that we seriously, heavily idealize those that we have any feeling for. I catch myself doing it all the time, and I know that idealization's really not fair on whom it's projected, but eh... *shrugs* IP: Logged |

You're a cool Pisces too Prox, the one standout quality of Pisces (better than any other sign) is thier ability to ACCEPT you for who you are. They are also able to forgive you (if they love you) I think this comes from an internal understanding of human nature. For a sign associated with "emotions/feelings they instinctively know you can't go against nature and through this are able to accept situations others can't deal with. When there is a problem and everyone is running around taking it personal (big egos)Pisces knows where the real problem lies and goes from there. Kisses to the babyIP: Logged |

Hmm- I'm a Pisces w/ Mercury and Venus in Aquarius, and though I've never dated an Aquarius, I can testify that I get along with them very well. I really don't like people that make drama out of everything- probably why I have more guy friends than girl friends- and Aquarians aren't like that. They're so much fun, and they give you your space. I like having my periods of alone time, and I like having freedom in a relationship.My bestest friend in the whole wide world in also a Scorpio w/ moon in Aquarius. ------------------ "Out of your depth or not, it's up to you whether you sink or swim."

Well, you know this guy is cool because he just called me up and started talking about the fact that he's a Pisces. (unsolicited astrology talk) I've gotta hand it to you fish, you're pretty damn intuitive. He caught on to things other people wouldn't be able to, and we have a slight language barrier. lol I'm starting to doubt my air rising theory and wondering if I smell a Cancer rising... Hi lalalinda, I have to disagree with what you said about Aquarians not wanting to fix other people's lives. I find that the Aquarian sense of k-NOWing makes them feel they can/should help others change their lives. Just my experience though, which may differ from yours. I do agree that Pisces sees things others miss. proxieme, by overture, I mean, were/are you the first to bring up emotions and do you tend to be the one analyzing the relationship/dynamics more? Hi hooked, I look forward to hearing your stories. Has your Pisces mastered the art of seducing an Aquarius?

Hey Oxychick,Sorry for taking so long to respond, I've been so busy lately, ick. Yah, I'm the pisces female who inquired on how to seduce an aquarius a while back I suppose it worked, because we have been through a lot and we are still together and stronger everyday. Pisces will definitely put you up to the test by trying emotional manipulation. We can't help it, it's just who we are. This all changed for me when I got with my aquarian sun / saggie moon boyfriend. He simply did not reinforce this behavior of mine. He refused to even deal with it, or acknowledge it. It would make me so frustrated, especially with my scorpio moon, I have a huge habit of manipulating my environment. If I can give you any advice in this area, its just to not reinforce any kind of this manipulative behavior when it arises. He'll probably realize he's pushing you away if he's smart. Now for the good stuff - yes, we are both very eccentric. Pisces and Aquarius are the oddballs of the zodiac, and we both love being this way. I think the best part is we accept each others oddities and love each other for them. We make quite a team, our friends refer to us as the "power couple" lol. I think we both get the feeling that we understand things that others don't necessarily understand, or we understand it at another level (the aquarius who knows, and the pisces who believes). We both love going out with friends (might be his saggie moon) and we also tend to back off one another when we do go out to just relax from being all coupley. He'll probably end up working around what you have going on. Don't you have a leo moon? What's his moon? Hope this helps Nina IP: Logged |

Hi Nina! Yes ma'am, I have a Leo moon and he has an Aries Moon. I just want to thank you for your insight and tell you that I will reply later, I am about to step out and I have a pretty busy evening and tomorrow is a little crazed, but will definitely respond this weekend. Thanks! IP: Logged |

It really depends on other planets, a Pisces with the Venus in Aquarius is going to be really different than a Pisces with Venus in Aries. I would say that Venus in Aqua makes a Pisces less likely in conforming to another's identity, whereas Venus in Aries would get emotionally involved more quickly and want to be friends.Aquas are very determined and like their own life, they do not like to change their life goals on a whim, and so the only challenge for Pisces is to be more stable and the Pisces has to do that on his or her own without guidance from the Aqua. Otherwise the relationship can go cold, or feel cold to the Pisces. With Venus in Aries, it's a little tough because of the emotional nature of that placement. With two fire moons anything is possible which in my experience makes love better-possibilities, create relaxation, and acceptance. Both Pisces and Aqua have a great sense of humour and Aquas are very devoted to those who express their needs. I see more Aquas and Sags marry but that's only the Sun sign.
