The Enigma of Pisces
Stop a moment and think about the Pisces people that you know. How would you describe them in three to five words? Can you do it? I would love to see your lists!
Pisces is not an easy sign to describe instantaneously. It’s a bit of an enigma quite frankly. Why is that? I’m going to do my best to try and explain. For starters the time of the year that we say is under the influence of Pisces falls generally between February 21st and March 20th. Here in the Northern Latitudes we are experiencing the shift from winter to spring with some days becoming mild and almost balmy, while other days are wild, stormy, and freezing. Such extremes can be unsettling. Dane Rudhyar says in his book The Pulse of Life, “Pisces is an era of storms and of wholesale disintegration.” This apt description implies the dilemma of the soul incarnated into this sign. The journey of the Piscean’s life must often be one of moving through periods when everything seems to be falling apart and nothing yet has come together into a new form. The future may beckon, but the past is still unraveling.
The glyph often used for Pisces is the two fish tied together but swimming in opposite directions. Here is the symbol of involution and evolution. Does the Pisces soul descend into flesh or ascend into spirit? Perhaps the Christian ethos of ‘being in the world, but not of the world’ attempts to integrate this paradox. It certainly can be both a struggle and a quest for one actually living out this dualistic path.
So think, again, about those Pisces people in your life. Aha! They’re not quite so dreamy, mild, and wishy-washy as one would stereotype them to be. Pisces is a Water Sign, and the kind of water most associated with this sign is the Ocean. Start describing the ocean and you’re getting closer to describing Pisces. Words like vast, deep, powerful, ever-changing come to mind perhaps.
Where does the cliche of Pisces being wimps come from? The elusive quality of this Mutable Sign, Pisces can certainly give that impression when issues of confrontation are at hand. Many Pisces would prefer to evade head-on collisions and leave the head butting for their Aries kinfolk. They, also, often prefer to be in the background rather than center-stage like more fiery types. But never underestimate the power of a Pisces, for like the element of Water, Pisces can gather a formidable force of watery emotional strength, when necessary, and move through, over, or under any obstacle.
I remember well an early boyfriend who certainly reflected some of the dreamier qualities of Pisces. He loved to dance in candlelight trailing long chiffon scarves after him like Nijinsky in Afternoon of the Faun. One time, however, I got a glimpse of that deeper power and strength. My roommate’s boyfriend had been drinking and was getting abusive and violent with her. Mr. Pisces calmly and quietly walked over and pinned the man’s arms behind his back and started twisting. Without fanfare he told him to leave if he knew what was good for him. End of story.
The key here is how the Pisces individual harnesses the great collective force they are born with which can, at times, overwhelm them like a tidal wave and make them feel lost and afraid. Developing their opposite polarity, Virgo, through some specific skill or technique will help to stabilize and focus their emotional body into a form that can be used in service to others. It is then that they can truly shine and feel good about themselves.
I think of a famous Pisces type, Elizabeth Taylor. She was hot stuff when I was young and considered one of the most beautiful actresses to light up the silver screen. She certainly did characterize the oceanic in all the variety of roles she played as an actress, the endless personal dramas she got swept away with, and the countless times she struggled with her own tidal forces of loss, suffering, and amazing rebounds. However, it was when she fully harnessed her vast emotional body into the Virgoan task of championing AIDS that she gained the balance and sense of humanitarian service that she is now acknowledged for. Good for her. She did it.
Pisces are the great chameleons of the Zodiac. They often survive through the art of camouflage. Well, doesn’t Water do that? Bodies of water take on the qualities and characteristics of their surroundings, the climate zone, etc. A fjord in Norway is one kind of water. A blue lagoon in the South Pacific is another. Both are water, but what a difference in kind and quality.
The great mythological stories, which have evolved since ancient Babylonian times, have many versions of the myth of Aphrodite and her little boy, Eros, acting out the art of evasion and shape-shifting that Pisces is known for. One version of the story tells of a ghoulish monster, Typhon, who is destroying eveything in sight. Aphrodite, in her love for her child, binds him to her with a cord and then magically turns them into fishes so that they can escape below the surface of the water to elude this demonic force wrecking havoc amongst the gods on the surface of the earth. Of course, Zeus, one of the ancient rulers of Pisces, ends up both rescuing them from their watery deep darkness, and rewarding them, which is what he loves doing best, by sweeping them up into the starry sky as the constellation of Pisces.
Initially every young Pisces learns to survive by blending and adapting to their surroundings and circumstances. As they age, however, this can become a problem for they don’t really know who they are. A number of years ago Patty Hearst, the heiress, was captured by the SLA and later emerged in a photograph while robbing a bank. She’s the perfect example of how Pisces survive as chameleons. First she’s this pampered girl from the newspaper dynasty family, next she’s playing Bonnie and Clyde in full regalia with her abductors, and finally—yep—she marries her bodyguard and settles into yet another role.
Remember, Pisces is the very last sign and thus all of the other signs are contained within it. No wonder it gets confusing being a Pisces! So how does a Pisces ever figure out who they really are? I always encourage my Pisces clients to spend time either alone or out in nature. Either way they will gradually separate out subject from object and gain a deeper sense of themselves in the process. The practices of contemplation can help Pisces: stilling the mind, being quiet, listening to the small inner voice. These are ways to come to know themselves better. Once they connect with their core, they can then turn outwards again and help a lot of people.
Serve or suffer is yet another famous cliche for Pisces. I remember a dear happy Leo woman saying once, “Oh you Pisces just lo-o-ove to suffer!” Certainly there was a ring of truth to what she said. Yet suffering is common to us all. It seems to be part of life here on planet Earth. What Pisces do best is to address that suffering and serve those who do. I know so many Pisces involved in the Healing Arts. One woman is a fine Acupuncturist with the most up-lifting sunny attitude. She has a lot of Aries fire in her nature to bring inspiration and spunk to her bedside manner. I know another Pisces who is a Homeopath. He has the patience and technical knowledge to listen quietly and assess accurately the right remedy from the thousands possible. He has more Aquarian planets to meld with his Pisces Sun. I know another amazing healer who works with sound. Her business card says “a harmonic approach to well-being”, Acutonics’ Sound Therapy.
A lot of Pisces are drawn to music and the performing arts. Here all the Dionysian qualities can often be expressed where mystical ecstasy and madness can be unleashed through sound, lights, and multi-media effects. Jon Bon Jovi and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana (what a Piscean name!) come to mind in the music world. In the world of dance both Nijinsky and Rudolph Nureyev expressed the fluidity and power of this sign. There are so many very fine actors and actresses who are Pisces: Glen Close, Holly Hunter, Bruce Willis, Billy Crystal, Glenda Jackson, Joanne Woodward, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Binoche, Queen Latifah, etc.
Michelangelo was a Pisces, but if you want to see a wonderful contemporary artist who totally conveys the nature of mysticism through his magical works, visit the site of Ernest Caballero. Ernest is a Pisces through and through. He epitomizes the Pisces who has found a Virgoan container, his sculptures, for his visionary connection with the unseen realms.
There are many myths and stories connected with this sign, but I have especially always liked the fairytale Cinderella. It’s such a classic Piscean tale. The humble Cinderella serving day and night the harsh and greedy stepmother and her daughters. The enchanted visitation by her fairy godmother from the astral realm. The handsome, utterly romantic Prince of her dreams. The dancing until the stroke of midnight when the enchantment ends. The dropped glass slipper. The search for the right and true foot.
Shoes, feet, slippers are all under Pisces’ ruler ship. Last, but not least, the feet. They support the rest of us. They are under us. Pisces must learn to Understand. And, of course, this fairy tale ends with the happy ever after redemption theme that is such a part of the mythos of Pisces. Take a look at Ernest Caballero’s Risen Christ. There is the perfect image of Ascension and Redemption that Pisces yearns for even as the inevitable descent is taking place. There is a longing for absolute oneness and bliss in this enigmatic of all signs, Pisces.
I would like to close by bringing your attention to possibly the highest aspiration of Pisces, Kuan Yin. She is the female Goddess of Compassion known far and wide in the East as “The One Who Hears the Cries of the World.” The Lotus Sutra translated by Kumarajiva, possibly a Pakistani prisoner sold into slavery in China, somewhere between A.D. 397 and 415 introduced her and from there she evolved into the accepted role of the divine feminine by the 9th Century AD.
Kuan Yin epitomizes the qualities of Pisces, a Yin sign, as its best. Her compassion knows no boundaries and extends universal love to all, including animals and plants. Her appeal is that she extends her compassion and love to ordinary people. There are so many myths and stories abounding that tell of her great deeds of grace, but none are more fitting to our theme than her connection with the sea.
Tales are often told of her ability to calm the turbulence of typhoons as she descends from the heavens in her flowing white robes. Here is a quote described in one such tale from a beautifully written book about her, Kuan Yin, Myths and Prophiscies of the Chinese Goddess of Compassion by Martin Palmer and Jay Ramsay with Man-Ho Kwok, “… Closing her eyes, she raised her hands before the raging waters, which immediately ceased their turbulence. Turning to face the winds, she opened her eyes and the winds died down and the storm clouds dispersed” Then she disappeared.
Peace, Love, and Compassion: these are the highest qualities that Pisces aspires towards. To get to such a lofty goal they must often wallow through a lot of mud and storms along the way. That is why Kuan Yin is often depicted standing upon a full blown lotus flower. Perhaps there are really no words now to further attempt to define what can only be contemplated. I leave you, dear readers, with that beautiful image. Who or what is Pisces must perhaps ever remain a mystery, an enigma.

Hi Genevieve
I need your guidance! I think im a weak Person! When i read about Sun in Pisces i hate myself! Please help me

Dear Jon, You actually have an enormous amount of gifts to contribute and your focus needs to be on the people you are connected with. Self-loathing can come at various times in our lives when we feel hopeless or can’t see our purpose clearly. You have to confront these dark corners of your psyche but certainly have the ability to rise like the phoenix out of the ashes of your implosions and move on. I suspect it is your Mars opposite Pluto in Scorpio that exacerbates this desire to ‘sting yourself’ rather than drive your energies outwards towards that which you desire to champion or fight for. You have a deep and penetrating mind which can focus on solutions if you apply yourself. You are anything but weak!!
Hi Genevieve

I believe I just answered you, Jon. For some reason your request has come up twice.
Hey beautiful 👋🏻 I’m 26th November 1990 . birth time unknown .I’m a doctor now
What you think about relationships for me
Dear Bibi, I see your Moon is in Pisces while your Sun is in Sagittarius. You have a LOT of Capricorn energies—-good for you becoming a Dr. already. Relationships are a challenge because you have different sides to your nature that require different types of people. Your Moon in Pisces can get confused I’m sure because your value system is fiery and highly yang, as is your Mars in Gemini energy. The right relationship for you perhaps requires a more fixed type who can ground and settle you while you do your multi-faceted dance. Capricorn is another good energy for you, by the way.
10/03/1991 UK time of birth 8:00pm – please can you tell me about my birth hart Genevieve i would be very interested in your thoughts
thank you
Dear Will, Your Pisces Sun and Mercury both sit in the arena of service to others and your Capricorn Moon sits with Uranus/Neptune in the arena of communication, learning, and net-working. You need a strong base/family support system so that you can excel out in the world and reach a larger audience. You need action however; not just sitting around talking. Solving problems, getting the jobs done, and inspiring people are some of your fortes. You are also a transformer of sorts and can make a lot of $ at whatever you really get seriously involved with. Good fortune smile on you!
Good morning Genevieve,
My birthday is February 25,1987 birth place is Harris Texas and was put up for adoption. I was adopted after 23 days old by my biological mothers sister. So with already being a Pisces and naturally feeling lost I always had a problem of not feeling like I belonged. I always had a feeling of being lost and needing to find out who I really am. I’m not sure if I developed this feeling afterwards finding out the story behind me being adopted; finding out who my biological mother was which was my aunt and my cousins that really are my brothers & sisters. To me just seems like I’m always search from answers but never getting any results. My career in life is a caregiver which I enjoy doing and have a passion for but there is still some kind of feeling inside of me that is not very pleasant of her life. Do you have any insight to possibly help steer me in the right direction.
Dear Tasha, Your sunrise chart shows the ‘wound’ of identity and family support with strong abandonment issues underlying your psyche. Those first 23 days created a strong terror/distrust that can be healed through hypnosis probably. It has to be something non-verbal. Your Aunt has given you the support, thank goodness, but there is a deep wound to your core that needs healing, and you heal others because of that. You are a very compassionate soul and also UNSINKABLE. Tis true: Moon sextile Jupiter. So I would suggest getting some type of regression work, soul retrieval work, or hypnosis from a skilled practitioner to address that core infant wound. A lot of therapists have just such wounds, by the way. Hugs to you!!
Helo. I am Kgaogelo and a pisces, i relate in a lot of things mentioned above but sometimes i feel lost and feel like nobody understands me and sometimes i myself feel as if i don’t know myself. Please help !
Dear Kgaogelo, Yes, we can all get lost at times. When you feel totally troubled, go out into the dark and look up at the night sky. The awesomeness of seeing a universe of stars—-trillions of them—-may help you to get your bearings. When you are out there ask for your Higher Self to connect with you and give you clues as to your purpose in this life. It may calm you to do so. Trust what you gain within yourself when you can truly listen in silence. Pisces can get very lost and confused if they don’t STOP and STILL themselves out in nature. Pisces is a part of the Universal and must truly FEEL THAT!!!
hi. i am a pisces dragon.i was born on a friday mourning at 5:15am what does the future hold.thank you so much.p.s i dont have a wesite.blesdingz all
Dear Mary, I can’t run your chart without a DATE and PLACE. So sorry! A Pisces Dragon could be 30 possibilities times how ever many Dragon years have been in the last 24 or so. I hope you understand. Also, I am not a ‘crystal ball’ fortune teller. You need a different type of person for that. I look at cycles and possibilities as a rule working with my clients to help them make the most of whatever the energies are that they are under or will be under. We each determine BY CHOICE much of our destinies.
I was born 03/7/63 at 12:20am What can you tell me about me? I always question why about most things, but especially myself. Everyone has a gift and I am not sure what mine is.
Dear Rhonda, Again, I must tell all of you who inquire that I need DATE, PLACE, as well as TIME or I can not read your natal chart correctly. You don’t give me your PLACE of birth. The ‘gifts’ one is born with show up usually in the 2nd house. I can’t find that information because I don’t know your house wheel. What I can say is this: with Venus in Aquarius near your South Node you have the gift of being able to relate to a wide and diverse array of people. This Venus is opposite your Mars/Moon in Leo near your North Node, so it is important that you include your own abilities to shine, stand out from the crowd, and be creatively expressive in this lifetime. I hope some of this helps!
Hello Genevieve, thank you so much for writing about Pisces. I love how you encompass Love, Peace and Compassion as main attributes of most pisces. I’m born on the 23rd of February at 11.40 am and I am a teacher,i totally agree with this as I feel it from my deepest core. However, I feel I would never want to marry and share that gift with someone. I am afraid of committing. Do you think you can help me out with an advice? Or is it from inherent from my birth hart. Thank you so much. XXX
Dear Mohini, I would love to take a look at your chart, but you don’t give me the YEAR you were born! Please do so, and I’ll try my best to answer your question.
Dear Genevieve,
Thank you for this whole explanation about Pisces! It was really helpfull and the part about developping the Virgo side in order to have a vessel through which express my inner world really touched me – and I’m enchanted by the work of Ernest Caballero. Thank you!
I found your site when looking for some light on the question of abuse and dignity for pisceans. I often feel lost in relationships. It hurts and confuses me a lot when I like someone and it’s not mutual, when I want to care and they don’t want to receive my care, or when I care and they don’t care back – the tendency to be around people with whom I don’t really feel nurtured. So, self love/compassion is been an issue for quite some time. I feel I’m getting better at that, but it’s still an issue. It just takes too long for me to let go of a rejection or a disinterest by someone I was into. I’ve got enough. I want to move forward with my life.
Could you help me to get some insight from my chart on this question of feeling rejected/abused/abandoned in (intimate) relationships and the difficulty of being at my own center?
21/2/1986, 6:25 am, city: Brasília-DF country: Brazil
Thank you very much.
Dear Garjan, Thank you for your comments. You’re the first to recognize Ernest’s immense gifts as an artist. He lives in my town. Your chart shows a grouping of Pisces planets in your 1st house challenged by Saturn/Mars in Sagittarius in your 10th, and Chiron in Gemini in your 4th with the missing leg of this T-square directly impacting your 7th house of relationships. So,—-yes!—-this is your life’s work!! Virgo is the missing piece telling you to begin to DISCRIMINATE more carefully when reaching out to others. You may overwhelm people and not give them enough space to be ‘self-reliant’. You may rush in too quickly due to that Mars/Venus square. You are here to develop more Earth pragmatism (North Node in Taurus) where your communication skills are concerned: watch, wait, and listen; curb your impulses which can often back-fire. You also have Moon in Cancer in your 6th. So what kind of profession are you in? All your needs for caring and helping others can and should be directed into your professional life, then your personal life can be more about ALLOWING your partner to really shine (Sun rules your 7th house, but your Sun is in the 1st conjoining Jupiter). You really need a strong and INDEPENDENT PARTNER. :). You don’t need any type of co-dependency because if you try that you’ll suffocate them. (Pluto conjoining your South Node). I hope this helps!!
hiii , I was born on 2 march 1997 , birth place- New Delhi, India,, I want to know about my career, I get jobs but I always end up losing all, I fail to focus on anything more than five minutes, on the job training, trainer always says that I’m lost somewhere and not paying heed at all! at the end I get embarrassed and leave every job, I am also very worried bout my health, I’m very skinny and weak too, whay should I do, when will I get stable job???
Dear Crybaby, First of all, I would change your name. Names carry vibrations and you are pouring constantly into your being a negative identity. Secondly, I do see the issue in your chart. I’m not sure what types of work you’ve tried training in. You have visual/imaging skills, such that artists and musicians have. This technical world is difficult for you I’m sure. I would encourage you to get help with bio-feedback tools or meditation tools. But you’ll need someone to guide you in this and lend support. You CAN change through proper training, but first it has to do with your brain waves, not job techniques. Do you understand? You are a fiercely independent soul that is learning to harmonize with others, but you need others first to help you. You don’t give me your time of birth so I can’t see your career house, etc, but you have many gifts and talents and your chart is loaded with opportunities, but you must BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. You have stamina actually, I can’t tell from your identity factors whether you are male or female. There is a conflict within your feminine planets, so I’m wondering what kind of messages your Mother gave you about the female? Were they negative in any way? You can change that even if you are a male. Do you write? How do you allow your creative imagination to come out??? Find a way and some of your focus will be regained. You can’t just sit on it in your head. Plus stability is not your path. Change and fluidity is. Just a few thoughts looking at your Solar Chart here. GET RID OF THAT LABEL ON YOUR E-MAIL!!!! PRONTO!!!! That is NOT who you truly are. You are a Universal being with gifts of insight and imagination. USE THEM.

Do you have a specific question Laylah? I can not give free readings for this is my livelihood; only quick answers. Plus the fact that freebies are not really on a deeper level appreciated. There always needs to be reciprocation on some level. Why? Because unless one VALUES something enough, they won’t benefit from it.
Hi . this is quite a good read . I hope you could help me . I was born on 3/3/96 . I have opposing passions and I can’t seem to finish a thing of let alone put myself wholely to anything . Sometimes the aries rising in me wants to fight but for some reasons , i just become mum on almost everything . hope you could help . thanks in advance
Thank you Dina for writing, I see you have Sun/Mars combust which does create some inner confusion about how to direct your energies. With Saturn following it’s probably a good idea to sit with things awhile and not be rash or impulsive. Your South Node is in Aries also indicating this. Writing would be a good way for you to fight actually. You do have the ability to see the bigger picture once you’ve pondered it long enough. The other suggestion I have is to find a creative outlet for your passions and express them artistically. Have you considered taking an acting class? I really think a good acting teacher could help you focus and direct your passions through this form of expression, whether you ever did it professionally or not.
Dear Genevieve,
THANK YOU very much for your answer. It does help me a lot – and makes me tremble haha because that Earth pragmatism is such a blind spot for me and a ‘strong and independent partner’ sounds like ‘someone who will be selfish and won’t care about you’. So… It seems I can use the Jupiter in Sagittarius season to open up my mind.
By the way, about my profession, I give language classes and just started a reiki course. The idea of working with alternative therapies (a form of care) is actually appealing too.
Thanks again for taking time to help me on my journey.
It sounds cool that you and Caballero share the same city. Greetings to you all!
That’s wonderful Garjan! Reiki is such a benign and powerful form of healing. You are multi-faceted!! Strength and independence in a person can be accompanied by empathy and kindness. :). That’s the type you need. Caballero is with such a partner by the way—–an Aries!! LOL
I have a very interesting nature , lots of opposing elements in my chart . I’d love your analysis 03/01/1992 3:21pm Michigan
Naomi—-Please give me your town/city in Michigan so I can accurately calculate your chart. Thank you!
Dear Genevieve my name is lanasan I was born March 15, 1996 (20:30p.m. mayfield Ohio) I have been struggling with issues from both parents. One had physically abuse me and the other sexually. My mother is making it hard for me to form boundaries (physical) I live with the sexual abuser, and have yet to tell the family. I have recently abandoned my christian background and came into the worshiping of goddesses. I really don’t know what I should do, because my abuse has other children. I also am always feeling unloved and wonder will i ever find true love or really love myself.
Please tell me about myself.
Dear Lana, My heart goes out to you! Your chart indicates a wise soul caught in a web of lies and deception from family members who don’t respect you. You are here to become more self-reliant and ultimately be a healer yourself. Actually, you are the ‘wounded healer’ and have gifts far beyond your young years to bring to others and you’ll ultimately be able to help many who have also suffered abuse. But first you need some support yourself! Here are two places you can turn to right away: Safe Horizon has a Hotline: 212-227-3000. They can steer you to help. Also RAINN is another good organization with a National Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-422-4453. Their website is: online.rainn.org. With both you can be anonymous if need be to protect yourself. Look them up for yourself and avail yourself please. Jupiter in Sagittarius is helpful for you right now to reach out and gain the support you need!
Hey. I was born March 8th, 1999 at 4:19 am Atlanta, Ga)… What can you read from my chart? Id love to hear what you think!
Hi Jhalen, You very much need to be self-directed in this lifetime. Pick your targets carefully! With Neptune rising you bring a great deal of compassion to your approach but must be careful not to ‘self-sacrifice’ unduly. It’s a fine balancing act! You have much to offer creatively and are multi-talented. I love the fact that you have so much verve/fire backing up your Pisces Sun. Your lone planet in earth—Saturn in Taurus—is about to get awakened by Uranus. Find ways to ground yourself through the upheavals about to occur!
Hi! I was born on February 21, 1991 and all my life I had faith that things will work out fine. However, it’s been a year and I’m still in a dark place, lost and unsure of the next steps to take in my relationship and career. Please tell me about myself.
Hi Kristine, I can only look at certain aspects between your planets since you do not give me place or time of birth. By becoming more objective you can loosen the hold of going into ‘dark places’ with your mind; rather use your considerable research skills to find viable solutions, and with your compassionate feelings take the high road where relationships and career are concerned. You are getting ready next year for the big shift of finding your true path and going up your best mountain. Be the noble-souled woman you came here to be. Share your abundant gifts to help the most deserving people.
Dearest Genevieve,
I’m a Pisces through and through. Please provide some insight into my natal chart. 3-2-78 @ 11pm California
Love&Kindness,
C
Dear Christine, Yes you are! You have Sun/Mercury/Venus all in Pisces but you also have Neptune/Moon in Sagittarius so you have the natural teacher built in to your nature. I see transit Jupiter is going over that conjunction this year, so it’s a good time to quest and give back what you’ve already learned in life. You have so many wonderful gifts with TWO grand trines in your chart. Try not to be passive with these gifts, but find the causes you wish to get involved with and express your uniqueness to the world as the true teacher I see in you!
Dear Genevieve
I hope you’ll have a look at my chart. I was born March 14, 1990, around 1 am.
My father was emotionel abusing and i allways felt alone deep inside even though i’ve allways been blessed with plenty og friends and people allways seemed to like me. But i never really felt loved and those i believed did betrayed me.
I feel people love me on the outside but when im not my Best They turn around.
I really wan’t a family and a man who loves me and Can show me, but i allways attract guys who hurt me. Why can’t i break the cycle i feel i’ve been living my whole life when it comes to romance/men?
I’m a smart girl and i Think i’ve manage to change and grow so much despite og my childhood.
Hope you have some advice.
Dear Anonymous, You don’t say WHERE you were born, so not sure where your planets are supposed to be placed, however I can see the stress to your kind-hearted Moon in Libra from someone who was cold and perhaps even tyrannical. You, however, are about to go through your Saturn Return and you are ‘coming of age’ to climb your own mountain and achieve your goals of helping others in a diplomatic way. Your path is to build stronger self-esteem and VALUE your gifts and not ‘cast them to swine’ so to speak. It’s about learning to carefully judge character before getting involved and saying no to casual contacts. You will have a family some day. This cycle you speak of is about to get broken by Uranus. Allow things to get shaken up and changed. Become more objective and sure-footed within yourself. You also are at the beginning of a brand new 12-year cycle of personal growth. Keep your aims high and don’t give up on your dreams for success and love. You’ll get there with persistence and even some luck/grace. Remember, you are unsinkable!
Hi, I’m a Pisces 2.22.87 5:50am in Madison WI. I constantly feel directionless. I’m searching for something but I never know what. I fill my time with tons of skills and hobbies but I never feel satisfied. I don’t feel satisfied in relationships, parenthood, or as a person. What am I missing?
Dear Apricots, So sorry for the long delay in responding. My, my…….your chart definitely shows a need to have a focus and be self-directed, but with multiple talents and interests you shift back and forth between your Pisces energies and your Sagittarius energies as well as a Chiron in Gemini. The missing leg of your Mutable T-square lies in Virgo right on your 8th house cusp. Your sexuality is key here! Or how you go about creating intimacy in your life. With Mars in Taurus, you about to be awakened big time, and your Mars energy is a good place to start. Begin to focus on what you want and reach a little higher. Look at what actually gives you pleasure or what you dream will. That’s another key for you. Mars will help lead your Sun in Pisces towards greater fulfillment but don’t be afraid to own what constitutes passion in your life.
Hello, I know this is an old post but I would love some insight into my birth chart if possible?
I was born March 17th, 1999 at 16:45 pm. I was born in Dakar, Senegal.
Dear Aissatou, You are a Leo soul!! With a Pisces Sun/Moon directive for this incarnation. Leo is both proud and generous and you have a lot to offer others as you merge with them in various ways. The right partner is SO important for you. Carefully choose someone who is kind, generous, and passionate like you. Creativity is also strong in your chart with a lot of fiery power helping support your Pisces’ need to be prophetic/visionary and highly service oriented. You are what is called a receptive type so your path of learning is all about relationships. Transit Uranus is breaking you free of old structures, beliefs, and boundaries starting now. You need higher education but make sure it aligns with what you truly do value. I wish you the best on your journey of unfoldment over the next several years ahead.
Hi
Good Evening,
I’m 25.2.1991 born @ 11:55am in Chandigarh, India.
I would love some insight into the next 5 years of my life as they are most crucial for me. It is a make it / break it situation.
Over the years I have come to realize that the goal I’ve set for myself presently is everything I could ever want and it is to serve people.
Please if you could help me💞 I would be ever so grateful to you all life long.
Warm regards,

Dear Kat, I normally with paying clients don’t look that far ahead, so your request is a bit presumptuous for a freebie! That being said I can see that Uranus is an aid for you right now and for the next couple of years though you’ll probably need to restructure some of your beliefs. Neptune will also be of aid to you emotionally and with your work as I can see your empathetic need to help others. Pluto and Saturn have been, and will continue to force you to be organized, disciplined, and dedicated to your goals. It looks as though you’ll reach a peak of your ambitions in the next 2.5 years on some level. Your Saturn Return is imminent in 2021. My best to you in reaching your goals!

California
I’m always tired, I never have the motivation to go anywhere, I stay home all the time. My family and friends never see me. I want to be happy and share a life with someone, I sabotage things
Dear Shanelle, Right now we’ve all been home quite a bit. Not sure where in California you live, but we’ll soon be able to move about a bit more. I recommend walking in nature if at all possible. Pisces people always, always need NATURE!!! Take deep breaths of fresh air too. Listen to the birds singing, etc. You have the Moon in Virgo so you really need good health practices. Have you tried Yoga? Zoom classes are readily available right now. Yoga would also strengthen your breath and energy fields. You really do need people to work with to get motivated and help boost your energy. Now is a good time to find them on-line and sign up in the privacy of your own home. I wish you JOY and ENERGY!!
Sir my date of birth is 19.03.1982 an i am a Pisces. But now i need a guidence from you could you help me
Dear Sunder, Now sure where you live, but your Solar Chart indicates Moon in Capricorn on the South Node so you will continue to need structure and even tradition in your life. You’ve been hit hard by all the Capricorn energies past few years and your generation is getting whammed by Pluto square Pluto as well. Not easy, but like one of my blogs said, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Your Moon in Capricorn can do that, and now transit Jupiter may help for awhile. I see you ‘lead with your heart/Venus in Aquarius rising’ so your love of humanity and others is a motivational source for helping and participating in group work or for the benefit of others. Your Sun following last after Mercury in Pisces is in a great trine with Uranus, so allow yourself to awaken to the new and use astrology as a tool for guidance. You can be innovative and structured (Sun/Moon combo). It looks like you have a good and philosophical mind. Use it! Be wary of fantasies and too-good-to-be-true schemes. Have a vision that you can implement and ground in the real/concrete world. My best to you!
i want to be able to express myself
My sun, moon, rising and venus are all in pisces. I feel a DEEP longing to connect, merge and be unified to source. Its consuming. Any ideas of what i can do with all this deep emotion? I feel like i am aimlessly living life and at the same time i feel like i am meant to write, teach and heal. At the same time i just long to go home. I find myself lost in myself and God.
Dear Amber, That a LOT of Pisces energy to direct outwardly. I’m wondering where your Mars is then? Mars must take the orders from the Sun you see and be like the knight who goes forth in service to King Sun. Since Virgo is opposite all of your Pisces, I’d suggest finding a cause that ‘breaks your heart the most’ and lend a helping hand to those people or groups. Pisces does best by rendering service of some kind, as you know. Also, the power of prayer might be called for now since you ‘find yourself lost also in God’. Have a conversation, and ask where you’re meant to serve. Stop self-indulging and get to work!!!
Hello,
I stumbled to your beautifully written piece while looking to understand more about myself. I was born 06:30 March 13, 1983 in Cold Lake, Alberta Canada. I am currently experiencing a loss of identity; I have separated from my husband, lost my job that I loved, and am feeling unsupported by my family. I am struggling to see the next step, to find my place in the world again.
Dear Jamie, Yes, I see that transit Neptune is going over your Sun now. So your primary male energy as well as your sense of purpose is both dissolving away and being re-shaped by seemingly mysterious forces. You may need to sit with it for awhile and allow spirit to enter again as inspiration. Transit Mars in Pisces right now may help to nudge you along. You are most definitely at a crossroads on so many levels. As transit Saturn next year forms good aspects to your fiery planets, you’ll have a clearer sense of direction and focus, so be gentle with yourself awhile longer. Spend as much time in nature or in some form of meditation as possible. Under Neptune it’s best NOT to struggle for anything. Just go with the flow.
Dear Genevieve,
I’m a pisces born feb 25, 2001 (08:49pm) in Rimini, Italy. I’ve been feeling lost for the longest time. I’ve always been drawn to the Divine, but have had problems figuring out what that actually means for me, as I’ve sporadically felt truly connected to it. I feel like I tend to jump into everything with a fiery passion that extinguishes itself as fast, which leads me to being unsure and doubtful of every thought that comes to my mind. I also can’t seem to find people who I can be my true self with, as through time I’ve glued to myself this image of someone tough who’s there to support others but can’t stand asking for help or even showing help is needed, though I actually need it from time to time. What is wrong?
Dear Lemanja, You DO have a lot of Fire in your chart with Mars in Sagittarius leading everything else, so I’m not surprised doubt your impulses that tend to derail your Sun in Pisces. Yes, other people can mislead you. A clue is “How self-centered is this person?” If you find you’re drawn to these kinds of people, keep on moving until you find genuinely caring and loving people who do want to help. One suggestion is to look for organizations that are humanitarian and service-oriented. Join and participate until you find the right group whose goals you can believe in. Doctors Without Borders comes to mind for some reason. That type of group. Then you may find individuals within the group that you can truly relate with. I’m sure the ‘toughness’ you project IS coming from your Mars energy. It’s true, you can do things and go places that are challenging; just harness it to your compassionate side and be sure to allow others to GIVE to you. You are by nature a highly independent soul learning to be a Pisces!! So owning your own vulnerability is a good place to start. We are all vulnerable after all!
Hi Genevieve, my name is Shane. Was born 2/21/1993 @ 6:56 pm in Silver Spring, MD. Since a child knew something was wrong with us as human beings. The dichotomy of our minds, the suffering everyone experiences through being “born again”. The last stop for me is ending my reincarnation cycle. At 23 years old the trials & trauma snowballed into an avalanche that was the moment I turned inward to seek the absolute truth. I’m up to speed on us being cells making up A Living Organism(Our God), am interested to hear your reading as we don’t have much time left until the electricity to the Neuron we are all a part of is shut down. This is The Event Jesus & The Prophets of Old spoke of & documented. Any guidance to keep me on the correct path would be deeply appreciated. May this resonate within your heart & those who come across my words. God Bless You.
Dearest Shane, You are a true mystic and I suggest you try to gain greater understanding of the placement of Chiron in your birth map. There is a very good book written by Barbara Hand Clow entitled “Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner & Outer Planets”. I feel you might resonate with her message. Yes, you are moving beyond your ego boundaries and realizing the oneness in all things. So Universal Love and Universal Compassion is a theme. As a double Pisces (Sun/Moon) your willingness to be of service and connected with your Higher Self is a good path to be on. Your stating of ‘we don’t have much time left’ certainly resonates with many as major changes are unfolding that impact our entire humanity and globe. Staying in our hearts with love is the clearest message I get for keeping sane and grounded during this tumultuous time.
Hi,
Just reading your beautiful description of a Piscesean, as Pisces myself i am wondering if pisces tend to suffer in life. I never had a long lasting love relationship, it just never really worked out. Somehow i fell for people who are not meant to be, and can’t reciprocated the feelings those who had for me. I wonder what is career and love stand for Pisces? I don’t have any luck on career either. I was born in March 8th 1985 at 8pm in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Dear Cia, Yes, I see that Uranus with your Sun creates a crisis of action around the themes of love and freedom. With age and maturity some of these issues can be resolved once you are able to align with your need for partnership and your own love of independence which may get projected onto others (Venus/Mars in Aries in your 7th). Career-wise you have a good chart for healing work and/or creative work. I would dismiss that thought-form of ‘luck’ and rather move towards a determination to serve as beautifully and elegantly as your Moon in Libra need to do. Soon we’ll have more AIR (Aquarius) and you’ll be in for a Jupiter Return in early 2021. Good time to begin!
Good day to u .
I was born 03/01/1979 Los Angeles ca about 1159pm
Been true a lot bad an good had dropp a lot people didn’t need an well been back stab all the above true alot an aways kept god I trust in me aways tell him I put my life in ur hands believe in all my spirits I’m not perfect y now I’m strong I have something in me that I need to fine out were to start
And Good Day to you as well, Rodriguez. Thanks for sharing. You have a good chart for helping people even if you’ve had to deal with envious or jealous people—-Moon in Taurus. A lot is transforming for you right now and your values are coming forth to guide you on your path. You can work with people and help in organizing. Soon you’ll have a better sense of the way you need to work and become more of a leader. Do it!!
I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful article. It did me good. After reading so many disparaging articles about Pisces, I read yours. I am a Pisces. I was born March 14,1977. Year of the snake. I’m trying to understand myself better. Learning to be more discriminative in things
( Virgo), to center myself. I am trying not to think so much or be hard on myself. To be more decisive. Going into nature does wonders for me; I love the water; ocean, rivers, lakes, etc. Again thanks for the article.
You are most welcome Norma! Discrimination is a lesson all Pisces must learn—-yes. I see you have strong Earth to keep you sensible and grounded as well, plus the spunk of adventurous Venus in Aries. You are well equipped to handle whatever life floats your way!
Hi Genevieve! My life ebbs and flows between the good times and bad but I do still feel gratitude for it all. However, I have been struggling lately. I would so love to hear from you. My birthdate is 02/23/1986. Thank you so much!
Dear Ellie, Ah yes! You have FOUR planets in Pisces, so you are what we caLL ‘OCEANIC’. I see that perhaps some of your struggles lately stem from transit Neptune going over your Mercury in Pisces and in square to your Uranus in Sagittarius. Staying calm and centered might be difficult during all the craziness around everyone these days. Do you practice any type of meditation? That would help enormously, and especially meditating on GRATITUDE. You have many, many gifts and your own ability to dive deeply below the surface of your waters, much as one finds in the calmness at the bottom of the sea rather than on the surface, will help you. I just saw that incredible movie, “My Octopus Teacher”. I hope you’ve seen it too, because it is SO inspiring. A true Pisces film/experience!!! You are a Water/Fire type which shows tremendous creative abilities, so that’s another way to handle your present struggles. Find a creative outlet!
Hey I was born on March 17 1999 Pensacola florida around 10 pm this description Seems as if it describes half of me .. could you read my chart and give me an explanation ???
Hi Raymond, You have a LOT of FIRE which encourages you to be independent, pioneer, and keep moving along. You have FOUR planets in Aries: Mercury, Moon, Jupiter, and Venus. Action is what you need. You also have Chiron and Pluto together in Sagittarius, so exploration of the unknown is another element important for you. Adventures/forays into unknown realms. Scorpio Rising with Mars quite close in Scorpio in your 12th house indicates a natural researcher or someone who should excel creatively through performing perhaps. Go for it!! Like al lot of performers, however, it may be your private life that really, really matters.
Hi my name is Rebekah, it has been horrible year of loss for me. Any bright news ahead? My birthday is 06 March 1986 born around 1 am in the morning in South Australia. Thank you kindly for your insight 😊
Dear Rebekah,
Yes, I can see the loss and your need to have patience and faith through it all. There will be some opportunity to re-group in mid-December into early 2021, and then a gradual fortitude will boost your will to move forward through-out that year as you build your reserves of assets and strength. A good affirmation for you is “I am strong and compassionate. All loss is gain in the bigger picture. There is an Alaskan Flower Essence for just that called Tidal Forces.
Hi Genevieve. I have come to your website many times, and yet something is irking me to ask you for a deeper explanation behind my chart. I was born on the 24th of February 2000. at 0015am. I am a Pisces, and love being in love but I find it hard to let my emotions spill it in front of my lover as I am a Scorpio rising after all. I’m also very wishy-washy with my career, how can I remove these obstacles and understand myself better? what energies should I channel into my life… please help me I feel terribly lost my dear Genevieve
Dear Alexandra,
Your feminine planets are both in Air, so I would suggest love notes to your beloved. Small expressions of your love and caring written frequently. In time you may feel freer in the moment as you ‘progress’ into Aries. Your career house is Leo, ruled by your Sun in Pisces in the 4th. You also have strengths in your 3rd house of early education/trainings that become automatic, communications of all kinds. You can be a great support for others and family matters/real estate/environmental issues are all avenues to pursue through your career. You are multi-faceted so take your time with your further education. As Saturn/Jupiter move through Aquarius you will firm up what you really value and need to do. You have 2.5 years to do so. And—yes!—you’d make an excellent astrologer!!
dear Genevieve, i forgot to add that i was born in singapore. thanks!
Hello good morning. could you check out my chart please:)
26.2.1991. 23.30 Tønsberg, Norway
Sorry for the delay David. I see you’re born in Norway and that you’re about to experience your Saturn Return—-a BIG year. You have an ‘inner/outer’ chart meaning your personal, private life is very important as a Pisces, but you need to also shine out in the world in some way and excel in widening your horizons either internationally or through higher education or both. I bet you are a very personable man to be around. Lucky are those who move in your orb!
Hi Gen, I would love if you have the time to do a read. 02/20/1994. New Jersey. 2pm ish. <3
Sorry for your delay, as well, Rebecca. It has to be brief, but you need to communicate strongly what you feel and realize spiritually in this life even as you are merging with others or working within other’s jurisdictions/orbs. Relationships will be all important for you and the challenge is to be in healing relationships rather than wounding ones. You, yourself, could also make a really wonderful healer! May you truly be blessed with such a pretty name too!!
My birthday 3/10/57 at 6:40pm in San Jose, California.
Genevieve – Can you tell me what 2021 may have in store for me as Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon and Virgo rising?
Blessings for your gifts.
Thank you 🙏 very much…
Hi Chris, I see I responded to your second request. Take care and con’t give up!!
Hi Genevieve,
3/10/57 at 6:40p San Jose, Ca
What will 2021 bring to me? Having some health issues right now.
Thank you!!!
Dear Chris, Sorry you are having some health issues right now and obviously you are dealing with transit Neptune to your Sun in the 6th. It may be difficult to get a clear diagnosis, but I would be patient and trust what you know works for you rather than utilizing dubious methods. I see that transit Pluto is in trine to your Mars which will give you strength and resolve to persist and not give up. You have stamina AND you have faith and hope with that strong Jupiter rising, also getting Pluto’s advance strength over the next couple of years. Uranus in your 8th may also bring opportunities, through new discoveries, to gain an upper hand. My best to you!
Hello Gen. might you help me with a reading? 12 mar 1973. 11:30 am New York. Many thanks.
Dear Mike, Before I respond to your request amongst this ‘Pisces School of Fish’ I want to say that a ‘reading’ generally constitutes my spending several hours in advance studying my client’s chart before sharing with them for one to two hours. Because this is a blog I can only do a short paragraph for each request. This is how I make my living and my services and fees are listed on the front page. Thank you!
Your birth chart reveals a great deal of WATER including your Sun in Pisces. You have the capacity to feel and nurture others yet you also have the fortitude of Mars in Capricorn to persevere and work hard provided you have the right support and partner who aligns with you energetically. You have to handle much change in this life and yet you also need solitude to re-group and get back into a correct mental attitude. Introspection and meditation techniques help you immensely. People will love you for the service you render and the imagination you use to get there. You are about to experience a new 12-year cycle of growth. I wish you the best!
What will 2021 bring me? 2020 didn’t end so good, I’m a Pisces March 15, 1989. I’m in nursing school right now
Dear Kenia, Sorry for the long delay. I hope you see this! You have a lovely chart with a Grand Trine in Water, including Moon in Cancer. You’ll make a superb nurse!! Now that we’re through the rites of passage of all that Capricorn energy, perhaps Aquarius will move you forward in your solar house of goals and groups. I see Neptune is moving over your Venus so you are probably ultra sensitive to everything and this energy is raising your empathy ten-fold. Find ways to stay grounded and I know Uranus in Taurus will help you to change your lifestyle in many beneficial ways if you are open to innovation and change.
03/06/2003 1:07Am US, Travis County hey Pisces man here would really like to kno what you have to say about me, ‘preciate your time🙏🏼
Mista J: You have a strong need to find your goal/direction and don’t give up until you reach it!! Your have a spark for a Pisces that is your Moon in Aries in your 5th house of creative self-expression, so use it wisely while Jupiter is moving closer and closer. Your Pisces’ Sun next to Athena needs to be ‘sail ready’ to ride the waves of life with the wisdom of the stars to guide you in navigating the journey, for Pisces can get off track by listening to the ‘wrong authorities’, if you get my drift. Trust your inner compass, don’t do drugs and you’ll be fine. You have an unusual mind-set that is inventive, even brilliant. Think for yourself!! I’ll send you a copy of your chart privately. My very best to you on your most interesting path ahead!!
