WELCOME TO PISCES The 12th Sign TYPICAL PISCES Introduction Personality Body Symbols Spare Time Health INTRODUCTION Pisces, the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac, is represented by two fish who swim in opposite directions, yet are connected by a cord held in their mouths. Pisces is a water sign and the water element is a powerful source of emotion. Pisces is a mutable sign which might make it's people flexible in their views. And Pisces is a feminine or negative sign which could lead to an introverted nature. The ruling planet of this sign is Neptune, also known as the God of the Sea. A soft sea green is the color associated with this sign. PERSONALITY As with all signs Pisces have positive and negative traits. Some traits could be described as either such as unworldliness, head-in-the-clouds, and dreaminess. Piscesans are kind, charitable and helpful and usually lend themselves to ease other people's burdens. Some have a hard time dealing with reality, and while Pisces are quite able to identify with suffering and possibly do something about it, they often retreat into their own little world instead. Pisces' ruling planet, Neptune, can make its subjects imaginative, sensitive, and idealistic, but also deceitful, indecisive, and careless. ATTITUDES Getting away from it all can mean peace and quiet. Or it can mean putting on headphones and tuning out the world by blasting music. Soap operas offer a relaxing step out of the real world to many Pisceans. Retreation can refresh and restore frazzled nerves to people who prefer tranquility. WORK Personality traits often affect one's choice of careers. Many Pisces will enjoy jobs which offer variety instead of repetitious hours day after day. Although the stability of a predictable job may feel good to Pisces, it might could also stiffle them. And even though dreamers tend to have problems following directions, coping with authority will provide a learning experience for decision making. THE BIG PICTURE There is one major trait which few Pisceans can overcome all the time. Just as the two fish representing the sign are swimming in opposite directions, Pisces tend to try to do the same thing. Many Pisces will decide on one course of action and then take precisely the opposite one. Assertiveness may be elusive because of this tendancy. Pisceans must make an effort to accomplish what they plan rather than falling back on excuses. BODY Pisceans often can be picked out at social gatherings or in crowds because of their tendancy to stand with their feet crossed, like the tail of a fish. If a Pisces has an unactive lifestyle chances are that they will look a bit overweight, flabby and shapeless. But those who dedicate themselves to exercise will often appear extremely fit and trim even if their complexions still are characteristic of the typical Piscean paleness. FACE Pisces usually will leave their hair unstyled and natural looking. On the other hand, if this is not the case, most others will style it quite heavily. The eyes are the most striking and noticable feature on the Piscean face. Often they appear droopy especially at the corners and may look very gentle, but for both males and females they can be powerful weapons in attracting a partner. The eyes will reflect emotions of others when Pisceans do their usual activity of listening to people in need. The nose will probably be from small to medium size and be well shaped and might have a high bridge. STYLE Romantic describes the image of Pisceans. From velvet, to Parisian clothing to thrift shop specials, Pisces will look stunning in nearly anything. Originality accentuates the Pisces wardrobe, and few tend to be slaves to fashion trends. Soft fabrics hold a special allure for these people of the twelfth sign. And since the feet are the associated body part for Pisces, shoes are very important. Besides style Pisces will appreciate comfortable, well-worn shoes to cradle their precious footsies. SYMBOLS Each zodiac sign has certain symbols associated with it. The symbols cover a wide range of objects including animals, plants, metals and gems, and herbs and spices. Although various symbols can be used for medicinal perposes, most are simply for fun. PLANTS Flowers often connected with the Piscean sign are dandelions, pinks, water-lilies, mosses, and lichens. Tree symbolisms include birch, oak, ash, birch mulberry, lime, and chestnut. Indeed all trees that grow near a water source are also included. HERBS AND SPICES Sage and saxifrage are spices ruled by fellow water signs Cancer and Sagittarius and therefore also come under the influence of Pisces. And while no spices are specifically associated with the twelfth sign, cinnamon and coriander are mentioned occasionally. ANIMALS Of course all fish are Piscean animals, but so are all mammals that live in or around water such as dolphins, porpoises, and whales. SPARE TIME Although the activities associated with a particular sign are mearly suggestions, often times the people within the sign find them extremely rewarding, entertaining, and relaxing. Flower arranging is a trait which many Pisceans take pride in. A love of nature, sensitivity, and an artistic flair provide a solid background with which to design beautiful bouquets. TRAVEL Traveling is enjoyed by many of this sign. Wandering around small Meditteranean islands, the Sahara, Portugal or Scandinavia may be just the vacation a Pisces needs. Flying to a destination may give a sense of freedom to Pisceans. OTHER Dancing and fishing are two calming activities for Pisces to partake in. Lyrical dance movement provides a rhythmical, steady, and noncompetitive for of self expression. And fishing offers peace, quiet, and solitude. HEALTH Melons and cucumbers are said to be the foods traditionally linked to the Pisces sign. As members of an sign which can cause them to be a bit undisciplined, Pisces are susceptible to behaviors causing ill health. Because the feet are ruled by Pisces, many people have problems with this area of their body. Comfortable shoes or sandals can help. An even bigger problem is the tendancy to use substances to alter the mind in an attempt to escape the real world. Drugs and excesive drinking are easy to fall victim to. The bodily systems of a Pisces are sensitive, so foreign substances in the body or even other people's bad attitudes can take their toll on the physical well-being of a Pisces. TAKING CARE A diet supplemented with Ferrum phosphate, a combination of iron and oxygen that enriches blood and sooths inflammation, might benefit a Piscean body. Also many don't respond well to prescription drugs. Antibiotic and pain-killer allergies are common. ASTROLOGY In the early study of medicine, astrology, besides being connected with astronomy, was thought to play a key role in in a person's health. Many universities taught information on how the planetary positions affected the effects of medication on a patient. Even the proper time to bleed a patient and the correct time to pick herbs and make potions depended on the alignment of the planets.
