Pisces´ instinctive and comfy cocoon…
You won’t find Pisces living in a sleek, spare, modernist home full of hard edges of steel and plastic. This watery sign keeps an abode that’s warm and welcoming, if not the tidiest on the block. While you don’t necessarily have an aquarium with actual fish, you do gravitate toward ocean hues and natural materials like wood, seagrass, and stone, with gauzy curtains that filter the light like an undersea kelp forest. Leave the big family gatherings to Cancer—you value your privacy. Your home is your haven and your comfortable furnishings your cocoon.
Take some weight off your feet, Pisces…
Pisces is prone to foot problems, but don’t let them sideline you. Take care to find shoes that fit well. If you have lower-back pain, check to see if your feet roll inward when you walk. Over-the-counter inserts may help. If you’ve been standing or walking all day, soothe painful feet with alternating ten-minute soaks in salty warm water to ease soreness and cold water to reduce swelling. Rest and elevate your feet above heart level to help drain fluid buildup. Finish with a peppermint-lotion massage to stimulate circulation and make your toes tingle!
Committing to beautiful, Pisces skin…
No one would ever accuse you of being rigid or regimented! If your skin-care regimen borders on the haphazard, apply a little military precision to your system and your complexion will thank you for it. Once you find products that work for you, commit to using them consistently, every day and in the same order. That gives the products a chance to work. You don’t even have to resort to trial and error because beauty companies have already taken out the guesswork. You can find prepackaged kits that target aging, sensitive skin, breakouts, dry skin, and more.
Women are mad about this sexy Pisces…
After so many seasons, it’s hard to imagine a world without Mad Men’s Don Draper, played with such smoldering, moody masculinity by Jon Hamm! He seemed born to the role, but the veteran actor had to audition—a lot—before landing the plum part. “This is the best job I’ve ever had and maybe ever will have in my life,” he said. Hardly.
What’s next? He followed his Mad Men performance with a role in Baby Driver, but has also hosted SNL three times—so he can do comedy. He’s competitive, bright, and cries during sad movies. Handsome, smart, and sensitive? This Pisces is going to be around for a long, long time!
Pisces, try this recipe made for you…
Nasunin gives eggplant skin its rich, deep-purple color. It also infuses the vegetable with anti-aging properties. Research has shown that nasunin fights the spread of cancerous cells by cutting off their blood supply. It may also slow the development of Alzheimer’s disease by preventing free radicals from damaging neurons. This versatile vegetable can be grilled, baked, sautéed, or roasted and served hot or cold. Branch out from eggplant parmesan and try a salad of roasted eggplant, apple, and quinoa with cumin vinaigrette and give your body a boost!
Your adaptability is your weapon, Pisces…
You adapt easily to the shifting currents in the work world, which is a good thing. But maybe you adapt a little too easily? In meetings do you go along with whatever the group wants rather than state your own opinion? You might think you’re being generous and saving everyone time, but sometimes bad decisions get made because one person didn’t have the courage to swim against the stream and offer an important, possibly contradictory, idea. Blowing every way the wind goes (or current flows) can make you seem wishy-washy. Let your voice be heard!
Helping others is the Fish´s specialty…
You are the very essence of compassion. Nobody else can match the Pisces capacity for sacrifice. If it’s a cause you care about or an ideal you uphold, you’ll work tirelessly on its behalf. Perhaps your day-to-day job leaves you feeling unfulfilled—it pays the bills and stimulates your mind, but doesn’t stir your soul. If your company is involved in a community program that benefits animals, food banks, wildlife, medical research, or other worthy cause, get involved. Help plan events or staff a booth at the walk-a-thon. Do good for the company, society, and yourself!
Spotting Pisces´ main weakness…
Your sympathy extends to anyone in need, pain, or difficulty. You tend to ailing plants and hungry animals with tenderness and love. You’re impressionable and softhearted. Take care that you don’t cross the line into gullible, or take on other people’s issues as your own. Unfortunately, not every plea for help is an honest one (you only have to look through today’s spam to find that out). If you give away all of your assets—tangible (money, the shirt off your back) as well as intangible (emotions)—there will be nothing left for you. Take care!
This is no time for daydreaming…
If you are interviewing for a new job, be up-front about what you want. Most employers really do want their employees to be satisfied with their jobs because then they will be at their most productive. Perhaps there are certain perks or job requirements or workplace conditions that are very important to you. Don’t just assume that you will or won’t get them—speak up. Otherwise, you could arrive at your new job on day one and discover it wasn’t what you thought you’d agreed to at all!
This stunning Pisces has a heart of gold…
Former House star Olivia Wilde may seem like an overnight success, but she’s been acting for over a decade. And with experience comes wisdom, “I know which way I’d actually like to continue and what really isn’t true to me,” she says.
And compassion is a big part of that. Her charitable company, Conscious Commerce, encourages people to shop from companies that are doing good, such as Tom’s of Maine. It also partners companies with charities for limited-run products. “It’s our attempt to live and exist and shop in [an] enlightened way.” She’s also a founding member of Artists for Peace and Justice, dedicated to raising money for medical care, education, and food and water programs in Haiti. Making the world a better place… so Pisces!
