This is something I don't really understand... or do I?
It makes a bit sense in a way, because Pisces is the 12th sign, the last one and the most introverted one?
I have just experienced again and again meeting pisces people, who keep their feelings to themselves (feelings that really should be expressed openly to make other people understand them)
Is this why so many people think that Pisces is secretive, or mystical or detached?

Both my mom got a pisces venus, my ex-boyfriend got a pisces moon, and all the other people I know with pisces moons are extremely secretive about their inner emotional life.
I mean, other people sometimes seems to have no problem crying their heart out to random people, but you NEVER see a pisces moon/sun/venus person do this?

And WHY? I would have hoped that it would get better with their age and all, but my mom is pretty old now, and she still doesn't know how to express her feelings at all... its only if you really push them that they will do it, but they dont like being pushed.
Sometimes they will just say to you, that they dont have any feelings to express, because they were just thinking about something else by then, and I'm not sure if this is the truth or not? Do they actually keep their feelings in, or are they just so detached and daydreaming that they don't really stuck with any kinds of feelings that they just need to express?

I really see a pattern here, cause every major pisces I've been close to, are the same way... apparently they don't want to open up emotionally!

And for the record: I am a pisces moon myself! But the difference is that I got a cancer ascendant and moon in 10th house... I think I'm a bit more open than most pisces moon people, but still people often tell me they dont got any clue about what I am feeling. And I only express my feelings to certain people, or if I'm in this very emotional moment (which is pretty often though, my whole chart is basically water/earth)

the thing is, we don't even always know how we feel. and sometimes even if we are feeling a certain way, we know that it is only a projection of our own internal worlds... why should I share with you what I am *feeling* in a fleeting moment if I really don't agree with it or identify with it? Or if I know it is just a personal problem? My ex would always push me and demand I spill my guts, and I never wanted to because of the awareness that my feelings have nothing to do with him and only with myself.

I'm a pisces and what you say is true, I don't like to talk about my feelings and when I do it, I only do it with friends who are really close, sometimes I don't even like my family knowing about my feelings, cause they're private, they're mine, but also let's take in count that I'm a scorpio rising.

Because most people don't ask; they simply assume...

Someone calling/inviting a Pisces for no reason other than to talk: Hiyah! Hi. How was your day. Good. Yours? Good/Ugh, Pisces, You never tell me anything!
Pisces are the replies.

I am a Pisces Moon and it is part of a Grand Water Trine which includes Mercury in Scorpio opp Mars in Taurus and Saturn in Cancer. I do not talk about MY feelings so much as I would rather talk about what is going on with YOU.

Trying to imagine if I actually tried to express exactly what I am feeling....

Them: How are you feeling?

Pisces moon: How are you feeling?

Them: I just asked how you are feeling?

Pisces moon: Well honestly it depends on how you are feeling.

Exaggerating

As others have said I don't actually reveal too much, if I do I feel "off" and I don't think people understood me, anyway. Most of the time when I'm talking with friends, I'm just listening. They apologize for doing all the talking and I apologize for having little to say. Especially in writing...I'm more self-centered in person.

My sister is like this. She's a Pisces Sun with a 12th house Capricorn Moon. It drives me insane because she's always hiding her feelings. She will pretend everything is fine, but I can sense that something is wrong. If I push her to open up to me she gets really defensive. Then of course I find out later that something was really wrong, but she didn't want to discuss it with me. What's really crazy is that the vast majority of people I know confide things to me, many times I'm the only person they feel comfortable talking to about their issues. But my own sister can't tell me what's bothering her, then she blames me for not being there for her. I couldn't be because she totally shut me out emotionally.

She's also perpetually mad a me for some reason or another, and I can sense her resentment, but she acts like everything is fine. Then I'll hear from other family members that she's angry at me, because she talks behind my back constantly. I've lost count of how many times others have said "What happened between you two, she's so furious at you?" When literally the last conversation there was absolutely no animosity between us. She can never face things head on, so she bottles it up and becomes increasingly angry over really little things. My mom and my sister used to be very close, but they haven't spoken in over 2 and a half years because my mom called her with an attitude and my sister hung up on her. So my sister iced her out. There was a similar situation between my sister and grandma, where my sister went 10 years without talking to her. How the hell do you disown family members over something so stupid? I really think it's because she's mad about 1,000 little things, and then all the sudden she snaps over something trivial. She bottles up her emotions rather than dealing with things in an upfront way. This is true for other people with Pisces Sun and Moon that I've known. It makes me feel disconnected to them, like I never know who they really are.

**EDIT** -- HAHA I originally wrote eating. Definitely love fish but not eating a Pisces. LOL

I'm dating a Pisces at the moment so this is really helping me out lol, granted, I do have my sun in Libra in 12th House. Not sure how much that's similar to being a 'piscean'

No I really agree with you, this is so true! Especially the last comment as well, that it's hard to know who they really are at all?

And they become difficult to deal with in close relationships because of this. Cause you really need to learn how to deal with feelings, but that demands that you are able to TALK about them lol....

So....how to deal with these kinds of peopleeee?
(cause I still LOVE you pisces people, I just wish I was able to understand you better and knew how to handle you!)

Yeah I can definitely see that dilemma.... but how are we supposed to deal with relationship problems with you then? My ex was NEVER telling me how he felt by his own free will, I always had to dig it out... and especially if it was a problem he had with me. So in that way the problem became impossible for me to solve, because he didn't expressed his feelings!

I guess in the end it IS possible to "read" the feelings, and that the body language from pisces people can reveal their true feelings (maybe more than words?) but if you are a more talkative person like me, it's hard to rely on only.... I know that actions speaks louder than words, but it's just really hard to get close to a person who never speaks about ANYthing lol

Wow, i wonder why i have been feeling like this as of late... could it be that the long transit of Neptune squaring my Gemini Moon...Neptunified me, especially as it also transited over my NN there?

Starry - LOL!

.... You actually bring out a really good point. Pisces love humor, and love to laugh- even at themselves(although don't like admitting it). One of the Best ways to get us to reveal our feelings, actually.

^ Regarding the previous comment... I started to think this: Do we need something or someone to trigger the feelings out? Otherwise I don't know. I am a Pisces, and I am very secretive. I have moon in the 11th, and it doesn't help here, I won't reveal much of deep stuff even to my closest friends. Moon conjuncts Mars there, so my feelings constantly want to explode, but something keeps me keeping them in, so, so much. It's quite a ridiculous thing, in fact.

Well it's not accurate, because I don't need to ask how they are feeling, I just get vibes and they affect me.

So it's more like...

He's looking tense...so I feel tense
He's brooding over something...ugh, I FEEL that broody feeling!!
Now, what's that, a slight angry tone?...grrr I don't like the angry tone, makes me angry..

Like missblyss said, I don't identify too strongly with my feelings because who knows where they came from, and often they don't serve my higher ideals anyway.

People who are close to me can read my moods, I'm rather expressive that way, like I've been told many times that my eyes are super expressive...maybe others' don't know the details but my feelings are obvious.

LOL Lacey ^

My Pisces Mercury endorses this. I’ve said things (revealed feelings) that I can look back on and accept “well, i guess it was the truth”

Otherwise I’m either vague or tight lipped

Depends...


Many feelings are transient, like clouds in the sky.

Also I find if I reveal my feelings, people become confused, because they assume this must be the way I always feel about a certain thing. It is not.

So, for people who don´t understand the vastness of my capacity of perception, me saying a feeling will merely confuse the one who is trying to understand it in the wrong way in the first place.

If someone tries to compartmentalize, to categorize, to clinically assess, or to find a pattern so they feel at ease, it will not work anyway.

On the whole, revealing my feelings is irrelevant.

Also, speaking, and language in general, is so small, and trivializes things once spoken of. Talking doesn´t equal communication or comprehension.

I'm not a Pisces of any sort, but I like them (Virgo rising) and like having them in my life. So I can only speak based on what I've observed.

No, Pisces is not typically the most introverted mode of expression. And it is not good to 'push' anyone to say what they feel!

If they don't say, it's typically it's because of one or more of three reasons:

1. They have trouble putting what they feel into words.
2. They don't exactly know what they feel, so they don't want to make up words to satisfy someone else.
3. They're concerned expressing a strong feeling could hurt someone else's feelings.

They understand the nature of feelings as emotional process — changeable — more so than Cancer or Scorpio types who tend to cling to particular feelings more as essential to their identity.

And yes, like other introverts, they're not given to expressing their feelings up-front.

The best way to open up a Pisces person is to just remind them you appreciate them. Just show them you value them and you appreciate what is special about them. If you've engaged in a pattern of gossip, conveying to them what others have told you in confidence, then they're less likely to trust you.

Hmmm, I wouldn't actually say that I'm afraid I might hurt the other person if I express a strong feeling. I must know the other person for some time before and by the time we become a couple, he knows that I am a woman with very strong feelings. When I love someone, he becomes the most beautiful, the greatest, the best man in the whole world for me. I adore him. This sometimes becomes overwhelming and I have to withhold myself.


Editing 1/11: Felt this need for some reason to clarify. When I say I love someone in that way, the way that I love, the way that I am, it doesn't mean that it is easy for me to happen. On the contrary. I would say it is extremely rare.

I have a crapload of Pisces, my moon, rising and venus are all in Pisces and I definitely hide my emotions. Especially if I am not familiar with the person or the situation at hand. I prefer to control myself and just watch what is going on or ask questions if I feel comfortable enough.

Sometimes I am really going through something tough and I would rather deal with it myself. I can be a very intense person and that scares people sometimes so I've learned to control myself.

I can only speak for myself when I say I usually say nothing about what I am feeling because I don't want to trouble someone. I see my emotions as a temporary state of mind that doesn't always need to be shared. A lot of the time the 'issues' I go through emotionally are easily solved so I find no reason to share them.

I do enjoy talking about my perspective of things though and the different angles you can look at a situation. But I'm not one to cry or laugh loud unless I feel like there is a true reason to.
