Pisces
Sign of the Dolphin
Traditionally, Pisces is ruled by the fish, but a more apposite, contemporary
symbol would be the dolphin. These graceful, intelligent creatures live
in harmony with each other and their environment. To see a dolphin at
play is to see creation at its most majestic and the essence of true Piscean
magic at work.
What makes an Piscean tick?
In the absence of a rose tinted world, Pisceans wear rose tinted spectacles!
To anyone else, this may seem like escapism. For a Pisces, it's an act
of faith. It sometimes seems that everyone who needs a shoulder to cry
on or someone to confide in selects one of these gentle approachable people.
Unfortunately, Pisceans tend to absorb emotional energy rather like a
sponge and eventually, it seeps out in the form of nervous energy and
a desire to retreat into the world of imagination. This is why Pisceans
are often prone to over indulge their senses in an attempt to escape from
their own sensitivity. They love to fantasize. Their ruling planet is
Neptune.
