Astrology and the Zodiacs

The Zodiac System is and always has been a very popular source of guidance, insight and entertainment. There has always been a debate about the validity of the Zodiacal approach to psychoanalysis due to the fact that the science of the Zodiac had been mostly lost while all of the mystical aspects remain. I think the Zodiac System is in deed accurate though not flawless. I’ll give you a little information about the Zodiac System and the Zodiacs so that you can decide for yourself.

PLANETS
First off, the study of the Zodiacs is actually the study of the effects of planetary radiation upon the psyche. The planets within our solar system each take turns, every month, acting as the main reflector dish for the Sun’s light, heat and radiation. What happens when the Sun’s light bounces off of a planet and enters the Earth’s atmosphere is that it captures the radients of the planet it’s being reflected from before entering the Earth’s atmosphere. The theory is that, the reflector planet’s chemicals are within the Earth’s atmosphere in higher quantities than any other planet’s during a month when it is the Sun’s main reflector. Therefore, in the month of May, there are more chemicals within Earth’s atmosphere from the planet of Venus than from any other planet. As a result of this, the development of children at the moment of birth is affected – the chemicals of Venus cause neurological pathways to form in certain ways. Thus will the child process thought and emotions in a way unique to the programming of Venus. The planetary chemicals are also believed to have an affect throughout the body and therefore there are physical and physiological characteristics shared by those born in the same month. Astrology is not exact because everyone has some of every planet’s chemicals within their make-up due to the fact they are always present within the Earth’s atmosphere but it is because of this that it is not possible to know exactly how much influence all of the planets are have on the psych. What is known for sure is that there is a dominant dose of the acting reflector planet’s chemicals in a given month. People often dismiss Astrology as illegitimate when it doesn’t describe their characteristics exactly and perhaps this sheds some light on why this is. Were it exact, we would not be distinct individuals.

SIGNS
The actual “Signs” of the Zodiac were developed as a result of thousands years of observation by those working in the field of Astrology. Someone at some point realized that people born in the month of May are often more stubborn than those born in other months and that physically, they are prone to having an overhang of the belly, thick necks, violent rages when angered, strong sex drives, etc., etc. Eventually it was noticed that these were all the traits of a bull and thus was the bull established as the emblem of the Zodiac of Taurus, the handy work of Venus within the month of May. Every Sign was given an emblem from the animal kingdom or otherwise to represent their core nature. Some Zodiacs were found to be too sophisticated to be represented by an animal as there wasn’t an animal identified that shared enough of the same qualities as those Zodiacs. For instance, the Gemini, Virgo and Libra are good examples of Zodiacs that were perceived as being too complex to have animal associates and were therefore given humanistic emblems.

ELEMENTS
There are 4 elements of the Zodiac: Fire, Earth, Air & Water. Every sign of the Zodiac has an associated with one of the 4 elements. The elemental association occurs in a repetitive cycle throughout the Zodiac in the same order from sign to sign.
Thus, the 1st Zodiac is a Fire element,
the 2nd is Earth,
the 3rd is Air,
the 4th is Water,
the 5th is Fire,
the 6th is Earth, etc., etc.
The relevance of the elements is that they represent additional conditioning of the psyche. For example, Aries is an impulsive and energetic Zodiac and when you add to that the influence of Fire, it becomes explosive and extremely forceful. The elements offer further insight into the psyche. The Elements represent the Earth’s own influence on the psyche in a given month. It has been determined that the Earth has an energizing (Fire) influence on the psyche of those born in April, August or December; and grounding (Earth) influence on those born in May, September or January; a liberating (Air) influence on those born in June, October or February; and a mutable (Water) influence on those born in July, November or March. The elements are good indicators of basic compatibility as well. You obviously wouldn’t want to mix fire and water as they might destroy one another. Generally, Fire and Air or Earth and Water Zodiacs are good matches but of course it still depends on the individual people involved, as there are exceptions to every rule. Zodiacs of the same elements can often cancel one another out, as there is not challenge or growth in such relationships. Oddly enough, opposite elements make the best of friends. Fire and Earth or Air and Water Zodiacs get along the best when it comes to friendship and that’s perhaps due to the respect they must have for one another because each recognizes that the other has the power to destroy them.

DECANS
Decans are fairly easy to understand. Decans are measurements of the months. Each month is divided into 3 Decans (10 Days Each). The Decans represent the potency of the influence of the ruling planet’s chemicals within any given month. Thus the 1st Decan can be considered the child-form of a particular Zodiac as it is the period where the last planet’s influence is fading out and the current planet’s influence is taking charge. Those born in the 1st Decan of a Zodiac will probably find that they have some of the traits of the previous Zodiac as a result. The 2nd Decan represents the full-fledged Zodiac of that month. The 3rd Decan is like the 1st in that those born within the 3rd Decan might sense some similarities between them and the Zodiac that follows. It should be mentioned that there are also what are called Cusp Zodiacs, which are people born on the last 4 days or first 4 days of a Zodiac. Those born in this period are said to be a mixture of the two Zodiacs they fall between.

MISCELLANEOUS
Not to confuse you any further but it should be noted that the Zodiac months and the calendar months don’t match up exactly. The Zodiac month begins when the primary reflector changes which is usually on the 22nd of each month. Therefore, although, for example, Saturn and Capricorn are the Zodiac of January, the Zodiac actually begins on the 22nd of December and ends on the 21st of January. Also, the first month of the Astrological chart is April and Aries and not January and Capricorn. The Zodiac year begins in the Spring season when life is being re-birthed and not in the Winter season as our standard calendar does.

There are also less/more evolved forms or each Zodiac. The less evolved person of a given Zodiac would tend to be more closely associated with the characteristics of their animal emblem while the more highly evolved would have those characteristics as but the root of their personalities. This is an important distinction because when reading the characteristics of your Zodiac you might find that you are better than some of the negative attributes associated with it and that’s because you have become a more highly evolved version of your Zodiac as a result of lessons learned from life experiences or as a result of the influence of other planetary chemicals. How evolved a person is also doesn’t have anything to do with the Decan they are born within. The Decan only signifies how strong a planet’s influence is on the mind, not how advanced the mind is. As I have stated before, Astrology can not be exact.

There are twelve Zodiacs of course, one for each month. The Zodiac wheel can also be divided in half with the first 6 signs representing the basics and the second 6 signs representing the growth from the basic. When determining compatibility it is often good for a couple to be representative of both sides of the Zodiac Wheel as they tend to complete one another in way that Zodiacs from the same side of the wheel don’t.

There is also the System of Houses. The System of Houses goes further than simply considering the influence of the planets to considering star positions. Every constellation of stars (12 constellations) is assigned a value as to their particular influence on our lives/psyche. Each constellation is called a House and each House influences a particular aspect of your life/psyche. For instance, one House governs finances and how you handle monetary matters. There are also ascendant and descendant stars that have value when Astrologically psychoanalyzing a person. There are many other Astrological considerations but all of this goes a lot further than I care to for now so I’ll just stick with the basics.

So here are the basics about the characteristics of the Zodiacs.

Aries
Planet – Mars
Sing – Ram
Month – April
Element – Fire

Aries is the 1st Zodiac of the chart and as such is often considered the baby of the bunch. Aries’ are strong willed, energetic and have their feet firmly planted on the ground. In fact, Aries’ are so well rooted in tangible reality and only believing what they can see that I would suspect an Aries as being one of the last Zodiacs to take Astrology seriously. The Aries is impulsive and youthful and as the child of the Zodiac, are prone to making hasty decisions and choices. Like a ram, when an Aries sets its sites on an objective, it goes for it and rarely has any forethought of consequences. Because of the child-like untainted view of things by Aries’, their opinions about people are usually right. Unlike those born under other Zodiacs, Aries’ see things for what they are and not for what they are being presented as. Aries’ are optimistic and see only the “way” to where they’re going and not the obstacles. Obstacles are of no concern to Aries’. They know little fear and will try just about anything at least once. Piss off an Aries and you’ll learn quickly what the horns are for. Befriend an Aries and you will find an ardent defender and ally. Love an Aries and you know what it is to be loved for the first time, every time. Betray an Aries and you should probably find somewhere to hide.

Taurus
Planet – Venus
Sing – Bull
Month – May
Element – Earth

Taurus is Venus’ first child and as such, was given its greatest gift – emotions. Taurus’ are so emotionally sensitive that they can feel emotions as if they were actual liquids coursing through their veins. As a result of this sensitivity and thus, emotional jumpiness, Taurus’ are often called ‘moody’ when in actuality they are hyper sensitive. Taurus’ are very physical - so much so that nothing means anything until it is expressed physically. In other words, a Taurus might be moved by words but they only believe in actions. You can tell a Taurus all day how much you love them and they might be moved by it but they wont actually believe you until you do something to back up your words. Taurus’ are intimate people who enjoy closeness. They enjoy experiencing through their senses: smells, tastes, textures, images, sounds. Taurus’ are filled with energy that they don’t use – they just build it up. They store their energy for times when they need to make big moves then they let it all go making tremendous leaps in one action. Taurus’ do this because they have a bit of laziness in them – rather than a slow climb up from one point to the next, they prefer to rest in their current position long enough to store up the energy necessary to climb several levels at once. Taurus’ value the moments of rest and leisure with family more than the moments of work it takes to earn that rest and leisure. Piss off a Taurus and something has to die – just hope it isn’t you. Befriend a Taurus and you’ll have a friend for life. Love a Taurus and you will learn what love really means. Betray a Taurus and you might destroy them.

Gemini
Planet – Mercury
Sign – Twins
Month – June
Element – Air

Geminis often get a bad rap for being two-faced people when in reality, they are simply capable of seeing things from more than one perspective. Geminis are ruled by the planet of Intellect, Mercury, which should shed some light on why they are such mental athletes, when they chose to be. Geminis are great socialites and that’s in part due to their love of entertainment but mostly due to their insatiable need to understand different people. I once read a little story about a Gemini that stuck in my mind. The story goes that a Gemini was walking down the street when they noticed this person sitting on the curb sobbing hysterically in obvious emotional pain. The Gemini sat down next to this person and said some things to calm the person and asked this person to tell them why they felt so bad. This sobbing person was eased by the Gemini’s kind approach and began to open their heart and tell this Gemini their secrets. Somewhere in the middle of this person’s exhale of emotions, the Gemini got up and left in a cold careless manner and never looked back. The sobber just sat their in shock wondering how could this person do this to them. The answer was simple; the Gemini only needed to hear what was necessary to understand the person’s state and once the Gemini understood, the interest in the person was lost and the Gemini moved on. It really wasn’t personal. This story gives a lot of insight into the mind of a Gemini. Geminis in general, aren’t emotional people. They don’t appreciate intense emotions because they don’t normally have intense emotions. They are intellectually curious by nature about all sorts of things and they use their understanding of people to get people to open up and share with them more stuff that they want to understand. That’s where the two faces come in. Geminis have to be great salesmen – they have to present the face that they know you’ll trust in order for them to get what they want. Though it might seem that several people live in them, there is only one person in that Gemini skull. Geminis are capable of reaching a level of intellectual evolution that would leave them existing in a lonely world where they can find very few compatible mates and friends. They also can be found in the darkest of places because they want to experience everything and they aren’t often capable of rising out of some of the darkness they walk into seeking understanding. Piss off a Gemini and you’d better hope that it’s not one who studied Mike Tyson. Befriend a Gemini and you’d better make sure that you’re not a case study. Love a Gemini and you had better have a strong heart. Betray a Gemini and they will return the favor.

Cancer
Planet – Moon
Sign – Crab
Month – July
Element – Water

Cancers are ruled by the Moon, which is like Venus’ little sister. The Moon specializes in a particular set of emotions and those are the emotions that involve family - children particularly. Maternal and Paternal emotions are the property of the Moon and the Zodiac of Cancer. Unlike the other Zodiacs, that are ruled by actual planets, Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which is actually just a satellite of Earth and it has no atmosphere and therefore, no chemical to radiate. Therefore, it is actual just a contorted version of the Sun’s own light and radiation that the Zodiac of Cancer is conditioned by. Cancers are the mamas and daddies of the Zodiac. Cancers have such a close relationship with their children that it could become detrimental to the health of their romantic relationship with their mate. Cancers are also very unstable people who don’t put down roots, hence the staggering crab emblem. Cancers have been called travelers because like crabs, they carry their homes on their backs. A Cancer can make a home anywhere and leave it just as soon as they’ve made it. Cancers aren’t often sentimental about places, they save their sentiment for people, particularly their children. Though Cancers prefer to mate for life, they are usually attractive people and they enjoy the attention of suitors. It was probably a Cancer that came up with the notion that men and women come and go but family is forever. Cancers have addictive personalities and can easily become substance abusers or gambling addicts. Perhaps due to their lack of ties to things, they are often prone to taking unusual and unnecessary risks in life. Piss off a Cancer and you had better hope they have a small family. Befriend a Cancer and you will always have a friend, somewhere on the planet. Love a Cancer and you had better love their children too. Betray a Cancer and they probably wont give a damn unless you hurt their kids.

Leo
Planet – Sun
Sign – Lion
Month – August
Element – Fire

The Leo is a very powerful Zodiac as a result of its ruler being not a planet but rather the Sun itself. The Leo personality is representative of the unaltered affects of the Sun’s chemicals on the psyche. Leos are dynamic and potent and they know it. Leos have many of the attributes of the Zodiacs that come before them but they often have better use of them. They are as energetic as the Aries but more deliberate and less impulsive. They are as powerful as the Taurus but don’t require as much rest to utilize it. They are as intelligent as the Gemini but can acquire knowledge without manipulation. They are as passionate about family as Cancers but don’t have to compromise their romantic relationships at the expense of it. Leos enjoy being in positions of authority and though they prefer that position, they don’t have a need to be the alpha in every setting. Leos however don’t just yield positions of power/authority simply because it is desired by another. To unseat a lion you must prove yourself more worthy to hold the seat. Leos can be intimidating and alluring at the same time. Perhaps the biggest negative about the Leo is that they expect to be pampered. Leos, male and female alike, don’t like being in positions where they “have” to do anything. Leos would rather delegate their tasks to others rather than do them their selves. Leos are keenly self aware and they know exactly what their assets are and how to use them to get what they want. Like a lion a hungry Leo isn’t above doing anything in the name of self-preservation. Leos are worldly people who exist in the moment and love the high life. Piss off a Leo and you will learn why the lion is called the king of the jungle. Befriend a Leo and you will share in the luxuries of royalty. Love a Leo and prepare to work you ass off. Betray a Leo and you’ll be stalked to the ends of the Earth.

Virgo
Planet – Mercury
Sign – Virgin
Month – September
Element – Earth

Virgo is Mercury’s second child and represents Mercury’s attempt at emotions. Virgo, being ruled by the planet of intellect while being an emotional Zodiac, is like a brain that think it’s a heart. Of course the mind can never process emotions as efficiently or effectively as the heart but how would a Virgo ever know that, never having felt emotions in the same way as most other people. The less evolved Virgos are contradictions of their emblem as they are highly promiscuous and lack the part of the conscience that encourages fidelity. The more highly evolved Virgo knows nothing but fidelity and are more concerned with acquisitions. Virgos have a love of “things”. Virgos are considered the regal sign of luxury and treasure because they have an appetite for the finer things in life. For a Virgo, especially the more evolved ones, a life of poverty is the worst condemnation of all. Happiness is derived directly from what they have successfully acquired in life. Virgos who have not acquired quality things in life, might have a sense of failure or non- fulfilment. A Virgos desire for the “good life” is so compelling that were you to enter the home of Virgo who lives in an impoverished ghetto, you would probably think that you’ve entered another world because there will be few signs of poverty therein. Virgo will transform the torn up floors into a rustic retro look and conceal the damaged walls with draperies or rugs that might make you think you’ve entered the royal tent of an Arabian Princes. Virgos love luxury is a simple way of putting it. Piss off a Virgo and you might find the royal guard has issued a “dead or alive” bounty on your head. Befriend a Virgo and you’d better be able to hold your own. Love a Virgo and they will be whatever you want. Betray a Virgo and there will be no second chances.

Libra
Planet – Venus
Sign – Weighing Scales
Month – October
Element – Air

The Libra represents the first Zodiac of the second half of the Zodiac Wheel and as such is the first representative of growth from the basic nature of the Zodiac. Perhaps this is why it wasn’t issued an animal emblem or for that matter, not even a human emblem. Libra is also the 2nd child of Venus and like Mercury toyed with doing Venus’ work with Virgo, Venus returns the favor in Libra by trying its hand at intellect. So while Virgo is a brain that thinks it’s a heart, Libra is a heart that thinks it’s a brain. Libra is an emotional mind, which is why it was probably considered to be a good representative for justice as it is capable of understanding the letter of the law but due to its emotional attributes, considers the spirit of the law as well. Libras seem highly judgmental by nature and it’s not intended to be a bad thing. Libras can’t turn off the part of their minds that calculate, evaluate and deduce so as a result they often have opinions about everything and anything. In all fairness, they really aren’t that judgmental, they have just thought about a lot of crap and therefore have an opinion about lots of crap. Libras are capable of great feats of intellect and passion and like the Gemini, they understand people so well, that they can seduce you without laying a hand on you. Libras are sexually powerful and explorative and can be too much to handle for the simple minded amongst us. Libras enjoy socializing, intellectual discussion and flaunting what they know are their assets. These are not shy people by any stretch of the imagination. As with most Air Zodiacs, they can be found in all places, scattered about doing some of everything. Piss off a Libra and you might find yourself in court. Befriend a Libra and you had better keep an eye on your spouse. Love a Libra and get ready for an adventure. Betray a Libra and you wont get rid of them that easily.

Scorpio
Planet – Mars
Sign – Scorpion
Month – November
Element – Water

Mars is the planet of vitality and power and Scorpio is its second child as well as its attempt to screw around with sexuality. Scorpios are always associated with sex because in them you have the explosive planet of power itself dumping its influence into the reproductive system. Although Libras are actually the most potent & versatile love makers on the entire chart of Zodiacs, Scorpios are given the fame because they are more interested in sex than any other Zodiac. Sex, lots of sex particularly, is highly valued amongst Scorpios. If your sexual appetite isn’t huge, you shouldn’t waste your time trying to deal with a Scorpio because they must be satisfied. For Scorpions, like Taurus’, regular sex is vital to the stability of a relationship because it is an “act” that goes beyond the words and serves as proof for the claims of love. How far are you willing to go? How much are you willing to do? In the Scorpio’s mind, the further you are willing to go and the more you are willing to do, the truer your claims of caring or love are. Though sex is an important aspect of the motivations of Scorpio, it is only one aspect. Because the sex thing generates so much interest, the greater aspects of Scorpios are often overlooked. For instance, Scorpios represent the first mind on the Zodiacal Wheel that exists and perceives spirituality from a whole other level of life. A Scorpio who studies religion or spirituality is bound to make discoveries that have never been considered before. Scorpios are also very liberated by nature. Scorpios don’t always understand the need of others to possess or to be possessed by another. When a Scorpio commits to a person or anything for that matter, it is assumed by that Scorpio that the commitment is only good so long as it works. There is no such thing as “for better or worse” to a Scorpio. That’s foolishness from a Scorpio’s perspective. Why would you agree to keep something that’s no longer of benefit to you or that might be causing you harm? Piss off a Scorpio and get ready for a fight to the death. Befriend a Scorpio and hang on to your seat – it’s going to be a wild one. Love a Scorpio and you had better stock up on energy drinks. Betray a Scorpio and they will curse your soul for all eternity, until they get horny again.

Sagittarius
Planet – Jupiter
Sign – The Centaurian Archer
Month – December
Element – Fire

The Sagittarius is emblemized by the Centaur, which is a mythical and mystical beast that is half man and half horse. This is significant in two ways; first that the Sagittarius has the qualities of both sides of the Zodiacal Wheel and also that the Sagittarius has an otherworldly spiritual quality. Sagittarius’ are perhaps more famous for their ability to entertain. Sagittarius’ are high-end entertainers who love hosting, socializing and traveling. Sagittarius’ are true pleasure and thrill seekers and are not content to just sit at home. The world is their oyster and they want to savor every bite. Because of a strong sense of spirituality, they can become eccentrically religious or adapt a mystical spiritual belief system. Sagittarius’ are the magical witches of the Zodiac but they are the good witches who like throwing keg parties around fires in the night. They are often considered oddballs or hippiesque and are open to all sorts of things. Once a Sagittarius gets the wildness out of their systems, they become extremely committed, religious/spiritual lifetime maters. Piss off a Sagittarius and the unholy evil-eye will hex and haunt you. Befriend a Sagittarius and you will ride life until the wheels fall off of it. Love a Sagittarius and they will love you back. Betray a Sagittarius and they will not only go insane but they will take you with them.

Capricorn
Planet – Saturn
Sign – Goat
Month – January
Element – Earth

Of all of the animal emblems of the Zodiac, I believe the Goat to be the most accurate representative of its. The goat is stubborn, strong, feisty, always climbing up, messy, greedy & independent. Capricorns are the ultimate achievers of the Zodiacs. Saturn, the ruling planet of Capricorn has at times been identified as Satan as it weaves a real evil streak into the psyche of the people it influences. Capricorns have the cutest, sometimes angelic personas that show no signs of the fallen angel hidden within. Capricorns are the good church girls who sneak out and party after hours. They are the innocent girls next door who ride out on the back of the bad boy’s motorcycle. Capricorns reach for the highest highs and you can either find them at the top of the heap as a result of their hard climb or at the bottom of the heap as a result of a long fall. Whatever a Capricorn decides to do, they go all out at it and will place all of their chips on the table looking for the “big” win. Capricorns, like Cancers, have a strong since of family but unlike Cancer, it is the entire family unit, not just the children, that stimulate them. Capricorns have everything but a partner to share the rewards and responsibilities with and that’s what they seek. Capricorns don’t seek a mate to complete them, they seek one to partner with. Capricorn doesn’t need you – they want you. Capricorns have a deceivingly youthful and innocent persona that conceals bundles of ambition and power. Capricorns are independent to a fault – they are often egocentric and can’t always appreciate things that have no bearing on their goals or desires. They can suffer from a condition of going through life with blinders on – only seeing their desired destinations and not taking advantage of the things closer to them that could provide fulfillment. There are limits to how much a Capricorn will sacrifice for their mate because after all, you’re supposed to be a partner. Capricorns lack empathy and as a result, they often have very few people they can identify as friends in their lives. This is sometimes also due to their highly competitive natures. Capricorns harbor secret jealousy and a need to be the best in whatever group they participate in. Piss off a Capricorn and you had better be ready to kill because that’s what it will take to stop them. Befriend a Capricorn and you had better have something to offer. Love a Capricorn and you wont find a better business deal. Betray a Capricorn and Satan,…I mean,… Saturn will rise upon you.

Aquarius
Planet – Uranus
Sign – The Water Bearer
Month – February
Element – Air

Of all the Zodiacs, Aquarius’ are emotionally and intellectually the most evolved. Generally speaking Aquarius’ are attractive people with an outgoing nature. Aquarius’ are hard to pin down because they are capable of anything. An Aquarius could be a lying cheat or a devoted spouse, a wealthy business leader or a desperate crack addict. There is no telling where you will find these people and because of their flexible nature, they don’t have a definite type of mate. Like Virgo, Aquarius’ can adapt to the person they are with. For an Aquarius, there is no specific prescription for happiness – they make happiness happen. They are the “lemons to lemonade” people without a doubt. The weakness of Aquarius is also its strength: their flexibility. Aquarius’ are so open and versatile that they often suffer from a lack of their own personal sense of identity. Aquarius’ define their selves from without and not from within and this leaves them vulnerable to being misused by the people and the environment they exist in. Aquarius’ are like blank pieces of paper that only mean something once someone else starts writing on them. Not to be mistaken as void or empty people because they are intensely perceptive, intelligent and emotional but those qualities have to be stimulated by an external source. They’re like a computer that’s so advanced that no room was left for a battery. They require an external source of power to be activated but once activated, they have the power of the universe at their grasp. Piss off an Aquarius and they will not understand why. Befriend an Aquarius and you will enjoy every moment in their presence. Love an Aquarius and you will never love that way again. Betray an Aquarius and they will find forgiveness for you.

Pisces
Planet – Jupiter
Sign – Fish
Month – March
Element – Water

Jupiter’s second child is the crown jewel of the Zodiac. Pisces is said to be every Zodiac at once like Aquarius but unlike Aquarius, Pisces has its own internal power supply. Pisces is as forceful as Aries, as strong as Taurus, as curious as Gemini, as familial as Cancer, as fierce as Leo, as elegant as Virgo, as wise as Libra, as potent as Scorpio, as spiritual as Sagittarius, as ambitious as Capricorn and as flexible as Aquarius. Because Pisces’ have so many attributes and abilities, they are often considered crazy as hell. There is so much on Pisces’ mind that they can come undone from time to time and lose track of who, what, why and where they are. Like their Water element, they try to exist in all places at all times and will attempt to be all things to everyone in their lives. Pisces despise words like “no”, “can’t”, “never”, etc. From the perspective of a Pisces, whatever needs to be, can be, it’s just a simple matter of doing it. Pisces don’t take not getting what they want very well because there is no reason they shouldn’t be able to have absolutely everything. Pisces sees every option and sometimes have a problem sticking with a decision because they see so many other choices and in their minds – none of the choices are necessarily wrong. Pisces’ are somewhat incapable of controlling their selves because what’s inside them is just too strong. They therefore find immense comfort in relationships where their mate takes charge and makes decisions. Though they might enjoy subservient positions for the sake of their own sanity, never mistake them as being ignorant or lacking understanding simply because they’d rather follow than lead. Though they might follow willingly, they understand the stupidity of every stupid decision or direction you might chose to lead them down, well before you even head in that direction. They simply prefer to just try to enjoy the ride and support you because if they have to take control, they might lose control. Pisces is the wise council to the throne and the actual power to the throne itself. Piss off a Pisces and there’s a fifty, fifty chance that there might be consequences. Befriend a Pisces and they will go out of their way to always be there for you. Love a Pisces and they will surrender to you. Betray a Pisces and you will hate yourself for it.

So there you have it. Now I’m sure someone is probably going to take issue with something I said about their Zodiac but just remember that this stuff isn’t exact.
