Because I am far from it. Sometimes I do consider myself to be an a**hole I wish I could feel the need to do what others do, like caring..

I have moon in Pisces house 1
Venus in Pisces house 1

I have no hard aspects to any of these planets, only trines. But guess what? I am far from compassionate or empathetic. I have a hard time understanding where most people come from. Like for example when my friend apparently got raped at a party (she got drunk and got taken advantage of) it's not that I didn't believe her but I provided her a way to move on from it and I basically acted like a parent. I wasn't interested in her emotions or her situation. Apparently all she needed was a friend to listen to her but I couldnt dare listen to her crying and stuff about what happened. Yes rape is awful. But you know, I truly believe her included can move on from this. I refused to sugar coat anything for her too, I told her she should know her drinking limits etc and those guys are going to pay blah blah blah but apparently I'm a bad friend.

I just thought "I'm here to help you move on and help you learn what you did wrong" I didnt understand why she was behaving like that, i was annoyed to be honest..and apparently I lack empathy - which is true.

Same situation with another friend of mine. She sent inappropriate nude pics to this guy and the next he sent it everywhere. She comes to me, cries (dear god) and tells me her problem. I told her "Why would you send naked photos of yourself? You're responsible for what happened too. You gave him ammo. Don't act innocent because you're not." Sure I reassured her but I was not going to sugarcoat and let her think she is free from saw flawed thinking. But apparently I'm not a nice person because I was the only one that refused to sugarcoat it. I truly did not and still do not understand why she was upset in the first place since she did it to herself basically lol. Who sends nude pics and thinks nothing bad will come out of it? Come on...

I've been in countless debates and situations that call for something that just doesn't resonate within me - empathy, I have a hard time feeling sorry for others. I'm only interested in providing them with the reality of things and how they can get there pretty much. I'm not the type of person that will hold someone's hand or comfort them I think that's a waste of time to be honest lol

So I read Pisces is empathetic maybe this isnt true for all of them. Yes I do have Aquarius sun in house 12, along with Mercury and Saturn in Aquarius in house 1, along with an Aquarius Ascendant, and a Jupiter in libra in house 8. There are hard aspects to my mercury and Ascendant. But aren't I supposed to be compassionate with my vital Venus and Moon placements?

any Pisces influenced folks are you "empathetic"???

Pisces energy is empathic in that it absorbs the surrounding vibes. If a Pisces was raised in a callous environment, s/he will adapt to it. E.g. Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker. Or if the chart contains a strong Mars (e.g. Mars in Aries), the Pisces will act more like a constantly ****** -off Aries. (I'm speaking from real life examples.)

Someone once told me that male Pisces are selfish. I've found this to be true often. Perhaps because society is accepting of selfish men and perhaps encourages it at certain levels.

Jupiter in libra in house 8, I resd that this may contribute to my "coldness" when it comes to problems of others, here's something I read:

"In your chart Jupiter(Libra) is in the 8th house already indicating a person that is very resilient. They are able to overcome any sort of crisis of situation. Since they are able to overcome anything they are rarely very sympathetic for the woes of others. They tend to take a "bad things happen, get over it" sort of attitude, which can make them seem very unsympathetic and lacking in empathy. In some cases they only gain real understanding by experiencing the situations themselves. This is coupled with Jupiter square Mars(Cancer) in the 5th house emphasizing these traits. The Mars-Jupiter person is courageous and usually has fear of little. They do not often understand why others make such a big deal of the ill events that may plague them. They often see life as a challenge/adventure and are willing to do whatever it takes to overcome whatever besets them. But they make little time for what they consider whining, complaining or the inability to confront ones own issues and overcome them, as they are often constantly employed in their own self improvement.

Since Jupiter(Libra) is in the 8th house, the native is often sought out for insightful advice on how to deal with psychological issues. They often have a knack for giving profound insights and advice. But they expect it to be implemented. Since a solution has been given there is no longer any need to whine over the problem. In effect there is compassion. These people do not turn a blind eye to suffering. They just don't care to be bombarded by it if the person suffering does not seem to want to do anything about it."

This is very true. I often do not have time to care about other people's problems because I do believe it can be solved and I won't even blink an eye to anyone's problems if they especially don't want to do anything abou it. this is the reason for my coldness as well... because I've also been sexually abused on
numerous occasions. It's made me stronger. When I hear about other people's events I get annoyed I do think they are being big babies and need to get over it.

Sounds cold but ya.

I don't know why you keep bringing up the fact that you're "cold" in every thread you make. There's like 3 separate threads about this now.

Aquarian logic leaves emotion out of it and you feel it is ultimately better for people to hear the hard "truth" in order for them to make the best decision to move on. Then, your Pisces placements kick in and you feel bad for being so harsh. I wouldn't say that that's a lack of empathy at all.

The Pisces i know,has a Mercury Pisces,and only a Venus in Aqua,in the 10th that i know of.He's very sweet to me,but when i first met him i thought "wow he's a jerk".He is very outspoken and "cold" to most people,says whats on his mind (usually hurts peoples feelings,because he's so straight forward,but not malicious) and usually has no problems with getting into a argument/debate with another person over the differences in opinion they might have.He's not "compassionate" at all with others,but we'r in a relationship,so he's unbelievably sweet to me..I am glad i know him and see his rarely seen sweet side.Strange for a Pisces i guess lol.

It's not just about a sign, you should post your chart cos there is something else there.

I have moon in pisces and even when I was younger and was judgy about things that I am not judgy about now deep down I would always end up thinking even if I am agaisn't this the reality is that I am not in his/her shoes and that if I was I might think differently.

So yes I have always been innately compassionate.

But I think you are compassionate you just like to be strong for other person and honest so they can learn from situation and grow but perhaps most people are put off by it bc maybe how you communicate the message comes off too strong. IDK, I would have to see you interacting with your friends to be able to make a more valid assessment of what goes wrong in those interactions.
