My lil one's dad is a Virgo, I went through years of the aloofness and acting like he had no real emotions. Well when I got tired and I walked he opened up like a flower well by then it was a lil to late. My point he may not get it until you walk...IP: Logged |

thank you spellbound! i am not a bad pisces either! i am quite comfortable with my dreamy, mystical approach to life! sorry, to those who can't understand, but to go through life feeling the pain of all sentient beings makes one quiet, spacey, dreamy and ultrasensitive! we need to escape in some form or fashion to relieve our souls of all of the negative energy we pick up "out there," and usually means spending great amounts of time alone! leolys, i can understand your attraction to the fish man, we love love for love's sake, your sign should be ok with that one. remember this too, leolys, pisces fall in love quite easily and fall out quite easily and everything to us is relative! he was not out to hurt you when you got "stood up", just displaying his wishy-washyness! on author (sorry i have forgotten who) stated that pisces spend thier lives in a quite dual nature, one part of the fish interacting and participating in every day life and the other swimming the depths with God. need i say more? ps mars conj merc...maybe you are just afraid that our water will put out your fire! you probably should stay away from us fish people!

Yes kind of. That is a way of looking at it.(Although i do have Jupiter conjunct my Midheaven in Pisces trine my Ascendant in Cancer (which Saturn is conjunct in the same sign, and just out of trine with Mars in Scorpio, which Uranus is also in). ------------------ 4th December 1974 18:00GMT Isle of Wight UK IP: Logged |

Mars mate I'm in North London. It really is the best city if you know the right places and people. Can be a little smelly and dirty in other parts too.One thing to add about Pisces is this. Every thought is weighed down by the gravity of every emotion that has ever touched it. Many times people's thoughts and ideas are not their own. They have been passed from pillar to post and carry the impression of a million perspectives all with emotional residue. People too carry so much damaged energy about them. They lie to themselves and each other and persuade themselves that everything is working just fine rather than facing the truth that they are broken. This results in connections that are strained, forced, twisted and manipulated. As a Pisces you are thrown into the midst of this. You see what no-one else sees, know what no-one else knows. Yet. It can be frightening and confusing. You question your own position on everything, thoughts, feelings, communication. There isn't a manual to operate your senses and everyone else seems oblivious (even Cancers and Scorpios) to EVERY shade of human experience that invades your own. The Sagittarius ability to float on effervescent ideaology and visions would be drowned out, your wings clipped. Your ability to think from your own perspective would be thwarted by so much conflicting information. The Piscean vagueness and losing touch with reality is a SURVIVAL instinct, not a choice. It really is the ultimate test of strength of character. You can understand how many would crack a little under the strain. But, this is our lesson and we must learn it. Try to not to be too harsh on the fish who struggle to cope my friend. Swerve IP: Logged |

HippichickOMG! Yeah, Fire people are instinctively 'aware' of the Water people! Fish man and myself were aware of that right from the start. As a fire sign, yeah, i am not wanting water to put me out. And, symbolically, that is what fish man does to me. He coaxes me into the water, I go cold and my spark just dies. This happens because of the wishy washy thing. We could call it splishy splashy instead...Anyway, when I try to be not pushy and not questioning, it extinguishes my flame, takes the fuel from my fire! And when fish man has taken a walk in the fire, he has gotten burned. He just can't breathe when I am at my most...my most! so, i don't know what the draw is, but i do know it wouldnt be a permanent situation with him bc we are afraid of each other's basic elements. Somehow he takes my power from me. And, I do it to him, too. so there. I think I needed to go through this excercise in futility to see that it IS me I need to fix. My virgo hubby isn't so bad, he just isn't emotionally hard-wired to me. I know he loves me as much as he loves anyone, it's just not the WAY I need. BTW- even though I have been the almost unfaithful one, I am SURE I am more in love with him than he will ever be with me. He is just so unemotional and logical! AT all times! When I have almost walked in the past, he really does make the college effort, and I stay because of the kids and all the history. He doesnt abuse me, he does support me. And the sex is amazing after 13 years. still. I guess that is maybe where he expresses his love. maybe sex and love are one for him? It's like Linda says in her books, we are all true to our sign an extent, but it's still up to the will of the two involved to determine a happy ending or not. IP: Logged |

wow, mars conj merc, you are not so bad after all! haha! seriously, perhaps, are you afraid of your "self?" might you be afraid of expressing your slight piscean nature, that is just exploding to make itself known sitting up there on your midheaven and project it out (unknowingly) upon fish people? a cancerian insecurity could be at work as well, making it difficult for you to expand that jupiter in pisces! the one thing i love about astrology is the simple things like elements. some tend to get so caught up in all the mathematical, technical calculations that the very basics and sub basics can get lost. in all the years this has been a "hobby" for me, i have always been intuitive about "reading" a chart, i tend to feel the chart. spoken like a true pisces, eh?IP: Logged |

Swerve,Thanks for saying all that about Pisceneans! My experience with fish man was that he seemed to feel this way a lot. Especially about the part of broken people and the way that they force, twist, etc...I am sure that for Pisces, that is very hard to see. Especially when someone you thought was a 'nice person' turns out to be 'seedy'. gah. i sort of wanna die. but i am learning my lessons of humility. i will say that i did learn a lot from the fishman about that subject. And maybe a lot about being a listener, and less of a judger. IP: Logged |

THANK YOU SWERVE! Put so beautifully. We pick up all this energy from the world and the only way we can deal with it is to be the wierdos that we are! i am an icu rn and have no problem with death, but the energy that i tote along from all of the emotions of the families, etc. can be at times too much to bear. i have to spend alot of time alone floating hither and yonder regrouping, reconnecting with spirit so that i can go back out there and earn a living (i do love what i do, though.)IP: Logged |

?No. You're all nice people. This forum is a good find. Swerve you seem to have something in your chart i warm to. What is it please? There's alot of sense in you, and the way you put it across is NOTHING to do with any of your Pisces emphasis. Do you have Moon in Leo or msomething? Well written. I agree. Not all Pisces are abhorant to me. For instance i met this Piscean bloke at work, and found him really genuine and nice. I'm going kickboxing with him tomorrow night. ------------------ 4th December 1974 18:00GMT Isle of Wight UK IP: Logged |

Mars - I'm not sure what it is, but you're right it's not the Pisces. I think it's a blend of that mixed with Scorpio insight and Aquarian understanding and logic.I see the best in all of you, including yourself. We are all wonderful in our own way but find it difficult to express ourselves from the soul level and communciate in our purest form. I saw what you were trying to say, why you weren't actually trying to offend anyone, have a troublesome past like you so understand your tendency for brutal honesty and your underlying compassion for possibly causing offence. Every single problem in the world in my opinion comes from one thing - misunderstanding. I like to think I can understand almost everyone. I was only reflecting what I see in you, the warmth and insight that is already there. You praise your own ability to understand the point in truth without knowing it. Swerve IP: Logged |

Interesting. What are your birth details Swerve? It's funny i live a double life in everything i do coming to think about it. For instance when i'm at my computer i'm flitting between my buddies on a high performance Japanese-car-club forum, and my new aqaintances here in a totally different arena, and yet both are totally me. Or are they? I think the astrology is totally me, while the speed thing is just residual ego, or just basically fun. Both things excite me when i'm in the right company sharing them. ------------------ 4th December 1974 18:00GMT Isle of Wight UK IP: Logged |

It's easy to pick holes in what i said. I realise that. That's because i was being rather hyperbolic. Of course i don't get on with 100% of Leo's and Aries. I never even said that. My 99% figure refering to Pisceans again was an exaggeration. Neither am i stuck in the mind-set that trine is good / square is bad. I'm just drawing on my experience with these signs. I know that initially i would have 10 times the rapport with a Fire sign than i would have with a Pisces in almost ANY situation. I hear your point about Leos. Personally i find them too childish (or rather child-like), and they're not chilled out enough for me, men that is anyway. Females don't suffer as much from this. Aries men and women on the whole seem to have an insincerity that i can't stand. You've missed my point about all assumptions being made 'Ceteris Paribus'. This is important for the sake of discussing an issue temporarily in isolation and free from other confounding variables. That's all i really feel alot of Pisceans contribute to anything really. Just the confounding variables, the 'fogginess'. That's why i seem so sharp to them. People need to have the braod-mindedness to discuss things broadly. If someone was coming on here discussing the negative traits of Sagittarians (Ceteris Paribus), i wouldn't come on and start defending them if what said was true. What's the point in that?! ------------------ 4th December 1974 18:00GMT Isle of Wight UK IP: Logged | |
