Much like the two fish swimming in opposition that symbolise this zodiac, Pisces can be somewhat of a contradictory star sign. Dreamy yet focused, inward yet worldly, it could be these very contradictions that have brought you to this article. Whether you're a Pisces yourself, or consider one your nearest and dearest, when it comes to deciphering this very complex star sign, we've got you covered. Your guide to understanding the traits of a Pisces, according to resident RUSSH astrologer Jules Ferrari, below.
Pisces personality traits, explained
On one hand, your energy is tapped into the emotional waters that move through all of us, collective emotion. Your empathic and compassionate abilities come from your capacity to feel into others, combined with your inherent creativity, it is very easy for you to imagine and feel what it’s like to walk in another’s shoes. An important part of your archetype’s development is learning to distinguish between what is your feelings and what is another person’s. The development of your own lighthouse, be that a journal practice, meditation, nature time, creative exploration etc. is vital for the sustenance of your sign as it keeps you regularly tethered to you as an individual.
Sometimes, with Pisces energy, it can feel like it takes some time to find your singular identify, as in your childhood you were a psychic sponge, absorbing everyone else’s stuff, including their desires for themselves and maybe you. As a chameleon, it is easy for you to wear many faces and yet the sooner you’re able to spend time alone, in your own energy and resonance, the sooner you will feel yourself more and be open to hearing your own very strong intuitive guidance.
Your sign has visions. They show up in your day and night dreams, anytime you are out of your conscious mind, manoeuvring through nebulous realms. You can create worlds and you may well live in them. All of this is your creativity, it is accessed via your own inner imaginarium. The more you are able to channel these states into your reality and into your daily life, the less prone you may be to fantasy and delusion. Einstein was a Pisces. He visioned mathematical equations about natural laws. Having a direction, application or discipline for your creative and empathic abilities creates natural boundaries and structure for you. When intentional focus meets your abilities, your archetype can bring new and untold beauty into our world.
Your empathy and compassion has the ability to heal people. You can see a (figurative) wounded bird and know that through your unconditional love and presence, you can heal it. This is a gift, again, it just needs boundaries and defining and a conscious process. Just because you have this gift doesn’t mean you need to be everyone’s lighthouse or to absorb another’s feelings. Do what makes you, as an individual, feel good.
Take note of what restores your energies and allows you to integrate into the fullness of your being. Harness your creative intuition, see what ethereal magic it steers you towards.
HEALING BALM
Virgo, your opposite, shows your sign how to be embodied, how to be physically present within yourself but also to your life. Virgo is discerning and purifying energy teaching simple practices like ordering your day, ordering your mind (with those famous to-do lists) and purifying yourself and spaces regularly, aiding you in clearing the fog by connecting in with yourself.
