Pisces is a water sign and ruled by Neptune, the planet of spirituality and imagination. You are dreamy, adaptable and sympathetic, with a tendency to don the suffering emotions of others; your tendency to merge with all living things comes from perceiving the essential fluidity and oneness of the universe. Since Pisces lacks firm boundaries, you often have difficulty discriminating between what is real and what isn't. To you, fantasy is reality! Most Pisceans learn at an early age to keep a great deal of their inner life to themselves, rarely letting others in due to a fear of being judged -- an intuitive ability to predict others' reactions is especially valuable in this regard! Sometimes it is painful for you to shield such an essential part of yourself, but more often than not you find comfort in your privacy.
Your interior world possesses many positive qualities that provide a much needed antidote to our material times, but there is a danger that your fantasizing can become overwhelming. It is therefore important that you learn some practical ways of putting your sweet self 'out there' without getting bruised. It is also important that you learn to trust and stick by your intuition, as your proclivity to merge leaves you open to deception: You are suggestible and can be easily led if you're not careful. Also, beware of deceiving yourself!
Pisces is not the most organized of signs. It is therefore best you choose a career that doesn't involve a lot of paperwork or require managerial skills -- the caring professions make the most of your self-sacrificial nature. Many of you have acting ability due to your talent for assuming the identify of others. The visual arts are also attractive as a means to make your beautiful, often inchoate inner life comprehensible to both yourself and the world.
Many Pisceans find themselves in successful, well-paid professions despite the fact that they really aren't interested in private wealth. Any money made will be freely distributed to loved ones or those in need ... or simply ignored! In order to prevent financial hemorrhage, it is wise for you to enlist the services of a reputable financial planner.
You have an emotional, sentimental approach to relationships. Pisceans tend to fall in love quickly and easily, and will protect themselves from seeing their lovers' faults at all cost, even if they run the risk of hurting themselves in the process. Like your sister sign Cancer, Pisces often winds up in co-dependent relationships, yet with Pisces there is a deadly twist: a tendency to materially participate in addictions. Because of this, Pisces should never drink or take drugs to excess, and avoid those who do. It is also essential that you find an earthy, practical, trustworthy partner who will provide a firm foundation without suppressing your imagination.
