Unity “The Eternal One Reflected Through the Many”
Pisces Facts
Dates: 19 February – 20 March (depending on year and time. For example a friend of mine’s birthday is on 20 March, so he’s a Pisces but his time makes him an Aries. So by technicality he is a cusp sun sign.)
Pisces Body Parts: Feet (Lymphatic Glands and System to a lesser extent)
Pisces Height: Extreme where they’re either quite short or quite tall. (Scientifically men tend to be taller than women on average.)
Pisces Weight: Light to “Heavy,” at least heavier compared to fashion industry style standards.
Pisces Hair: Dark hair of any hue is common and is either straight or wavy.
Pisces Complexion: Dark in terms of skin tone yet lighter compared to other signs. (Whether you look at complexions from an artistic or scientific viewpoint all skin tones are shades of brown.)
Pisces Eye Colour: Drowning Browns and Icy Blues. (Eyebrow liner is suggested since Pisces’ eyebrows can be very light.)
My Thoughts
It’s very difficult to remain unbiased toward my own dominant sign. I realize that we seem spacy at time, we can also be two-faced, we can be naive, and can also seem unintelligent. One of the reasons is that unlike the Scorpion, the Ram, or Twins, Pisces don’t have a sturdy defense or offense to offer us protection. Instead we have to be like Sansa Stark -- outwardly become the masquerade that others believe of us while inwardly planning our usurpation and our necessary escapes. Like Gemini, Pisces become everything because we are everything.
It’s no surprise I’m a dog lover but that isn’t why I prefer the wolf over the fish. Pisces are the fishes because of these reasons: One, Aphrodite tying a cord around her and her son so they wouldn’t become separated by Poseidon’s raging sea storm. Second we’re the fish because of the first Christians. After Jesus ascended to Heaven his followers were still heavily persecuted. To avoid this whenever they’d meet they’d say the latin equivalent of “Jesus is Christ and Savior” and the first letters spelled the acronym ‘Fish.’ But most of the fellow Pisceans in my life don’t like having the fish symbolize our sign. Unless it’s Jaws or Nemo there’s not much appeal.
Why do many astrologers persist with this? Like the other dual signs Pisces represent the dark vs light elements within us, Pisces are connected to each other and fish often swim in schools because we don’t like to be alone. But this is where the wolf comes into play.
If you ever go to a wolf preserve you’ll know that the Love Wolf is rarely accurate. Wolves love their packs but they also love their solitude. In many mythologies wolves are often the animal closest to Divinity (like PIsces). The wolf’s goal, depending on the story, is to find balance between the metaphysical realm and this Earthly realm (also like Pisces).
Plus the story of the two wolves -- also from different cultures other than Native American -- speaks more of Piscean’s duality than the fishes. A grandfather tells his grandson about a war between a good and an evil wolf inside of him. The former is every good and peaceful while the latter is cruelty and selfishness. His grandson asks which wolf’s victorious, his grandfather answers, “The one YOU feed.”
Pisces Fashion & Style
Lost in a world of dreams and creative urges, the Piscean woman exists in a world beyond fashion, yet she is not immune to it. She just makes her own, and on her, it becomes art. Her other-worldly qualities mean she can never be like anyone else, but it also makes her unforgettable.She dresses as if life were really the stuff of her own fantasies. If she loves fairies, there will be something flowery and spring-like about the clothes she wears. If she is into mermaids, she will shine like mother of pearl. If she is into Gothic culture, she will be dark and mysterious. Her moods are vast as the ocean – she can be all of these things at the same time.
The Piscean woman loves floaty things. Soft fabrics such as silk, voile, and tissue tempt her to drape and design her own unique styles. Her deep love of art will see her painting her clothes or her body with fantastic designs. Her clothes will drape and fold in the most sensuous manner but she seems utterly unaware of how sexy she is. Her eyes are like stars reflected in pools of deep water, no matter what their color. Everything about the Piscean woman is touched with glamor and star shine. (CafeAstrology)
