Is Pisces the most compassionate sign? Maybe!
There’s a deep well of sensitivity, generosity, and sympathy in your watery depths. Of course, these qualities make you a wonderful friend and partner, but you also extend that compassion to any being in need of nurturing. Stray, hungry, or injured animals tug at your heartstrings. You can’t bring them all home with you, of course, so feed that inner need to help by volunteering at a local animal shelter. Frightened dogs need a friend for walks and games until they find their forever homes. Newborn feral kittens need to be socialized, bottle-fed, and cuddled before they’re ready to interact with a new human family. Give a little love and get so much more in return!
Beach exercises for the Fish…
You love the seashore, but don’t just lie on the lounge chair reading the latest best seller! Running on sand burns nearly twice the calories as running on sidewalks because your feet and calves have to work harder to push off the constantly shifting surface, and your body has to stabilize itself as you move over the uneven surface. And, unlike pounding on pavement, running on sand is easier on your joints. Not a runner? Start with brisk walking and gradually build up your speed. Don’t forget to stretch afterward!
The prefect scent for dreamy Pisces…
The Pisces sensitive soul responds to every nuance in the world around you. Your exceptional sense of smell means that fragrance is important to you. The right one can be calming or energizing. You love a scent redolent of the beach, like Ocean Dream Coral or Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers “G” of the Sea, which subtly blends water lily (one of your flowers) with red apple, jasmine, and amber. Ocean Pacific perfume combines water lily with violet and magnolia. For men, He Wood Ocean Wet Wood blends ocean, ambergris musk, and wood notes for a nature-inspired scent.
Teach others how you want to be treated, Pisces…
Pisces is so compassionate that you find it hard to believe when other people don’t quite rise to your level. People could take advantage of your trusting, open-hearted nature. If someone is always taking credit for your work, blaming you for things you didn’t do, or taking you for granted, you have two choices.
One is to avoid the issue. It won’t change the situation, and you’ll have to be content with the way things are. The other is to teach the person how you want to be treated. This takes backbone, but you’re up to it! Don’t just go with the flow, speak up. The person will change their behavior—or not. You can then decide whether to continue the relationship.
Taking a trip?
Lost in your watery reverie, some might unkindly call you irresponsible. You’re a dreamer. You have more important (or at least more interesting) things to think about than the practical nitty-gritties of daily life!
Turn what some might consider a fault into a new way to travel. If you’re always forgetting half the things you meant to pack—dressy clothes, sunscreen, raincoat—take the opportunity to explore and mingle with the locals at your destination. There’s a better than even chance that they wear clothes, and that the shops will have everything you need. You’ll meet people, figure out the currency, and have some cool, unique stuff to show off when you get home!
You can have it all…
Because your sign is mutable and watery, you adapt easily to almost any situation. That makes for a great work environment, but are you missing out on what <i>you</i> want because you’re always going along with everybody else? You’re a dreamer and a thinker, so you probably have a pretty good idea of what you need!
Try focusing your thoughts away from the group by taking a labyrinth walk. There are thousands of these winding paths around the world. Strolling slowly with intent and focus can bring clarity to your needs and desires. Return to your life prepared to stick up for what you want!
Your natural strengths make you an amazing friend…
How do you do it? Somehow you make every person you know think they are your one special friend. Perhaps it’s because you’re so perceptive. You just know when someone is hurting and needs a shoulder to lean on. Perhaps it’s your magnetic personality. You have a way of drawing in friends and making them feel important. Perhaps it’s your loyalty. Once you make a dear friend, you do all you can to make sure that person feels treasured and loved. Perhaps it’s your perceptive and generous insight. You deeply appreciate the unique inner qualities of each of your friends. You’re the best friend anyone could have!
The delicate and delightful Fish will love these treats…
Give a gift that any Fish would love. Fill a big, stylish turquoise beach tote with a handpicked selection of sea-inspired face and body products. Choose an algae-based skin lotion, sea salt shave cream, ocean mineral bath salts, exfoliating seaweed soap, beach sand foot scrub, and sunscreen infused with kelp (researchers have found that a chemical in seaweed has natural UV-blocking properties). And don’t forget to include a pair of comfy aqua-colored terry flip-flops and a big fluffy towel! Trashy romance novel optional.
Pisces, you are the prophet of the Zodiac…
You’re highly creative, receptive, and quite possibly psychic. Perhaps you have vivid dreams full of color and symbolism. What do they mean? First, capture them in a dream journal. When you awaken, even before you’re fully alert, write down what you remember. Use words, sketches, doodles, any means of expression will do. Then refer to books and websites to interpret your nighttime reveries. Fish swimming could signify subconscious insights. Flight dreams could mean freedom from a restriction or limitation. Oceans represent feelings and tranquility. What will your dreams reveal about you?
Put these movies in your watchlist!
Pisces are emotional beings who feel deeply. Yes, you love a good cry, but you don’t need to get all Wuthering Heights all the time. Rather than wallowing in sadness, lighten up with happier fare once in a while!
Okay, you’ll cry a bit when you see the late, great James Gandolfini with Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the charming Enough Said, but the laughs will balance out the tears. Funny girl Zooey Deschanel and sweet Joseph Gordon-Levitt star in (500) Days of Summer. And make sure you aren’t hungry when you watch Keri Russell whip up her fantastical pies in Waitress!
