Pisces: Sick and Tired

[Magen David]

I'm sick and tired of all these negative stereo-types and lies about the zodiac sign Pisces.

I'm born under the sun sign Pisces and consider myself to be very much a Pisces, and there's nothing else I'd rather be.

I haven't the faintest idea how the cliche of us beings "dreamers" has become so grossly exaggerated. I believe it has reached a point where it has become down-right insulting. I truly believe this has become so typical of our "description" because many have become threatened or intimidated by our incredibly powerful potential.

I have heard everything from, "the only time a Pisces will have money is if it's inherited" to that we "bury our heads in the sand to hide our over sensitivity." Ouch.

Yeah, okay buddy, why not try proving I'm trying to hide something? I double dog dare you.

If there's any other Pisces who feel this way, please leave a reply.

I believe many astrologers have attempted to become far too descriptive in their Zodiac analysis'. Pisces is the sign of two fish swimming in opposite directions connected by a line of matter - leave it at that.

Here's a link to what I think is a much better description of the zodiac signs by a Kaballahistic source: http://www.iloveulove.com/spirituali...bastrology.htm

And finally, to all the Pisces who never fail to get bashed by unjust and unfair Zodiac descriptions of yourself: Stay strong! They know darn well you have the most potential of all the zodiac, only if you choose to swim the strenuous route upstream.

If you are any other sign besides Pisces and feel Pisces have been treated unjustly and handled inappropriately by astrologers leave a reply! It would be greatly appreciated.

The truth of astrologers and the Gods truth are two very, very different things. Remember that.

I voted yes, because like the kabbalah source you gave most astrologers give both the negative and positive of pisces like they do with every sign.

What you are listing are some of the pitfalls of pisces that are on the negative. It must be remembered that these are possible weaknesses and are not an inevitable trait of a sun pisces.

Focus on the positive

"
The second planet that rules Pisces, Neptune, was discovered only in the 19th century as the planet to rule the abstract; the planet itself has no boundaries or limitations, as it is surrounded by gas. It controls intuition, imagination, creativity and art. It provides us with the ability to see and understand beyond our five senses.
The combination of these two planets gives Pisces a very powerful emotional ability. They are remarkably sensitive and vulnerable with the strongest intuition of any sign. They are very deep people, whether it comes to opinion, thought, or inspiration. Pisceans have an uncanny talent for sensitivity toward others, for they can truly enter a person’s heart and mind and experience the pain and suffering of others.
They have the metaphysical ability predict the future, and they can often be psychic and clairvoyant. Many Pisceans have a gift for mathematics, science, and metaphysics (Albert Einstein was a Pisces). The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions. The fish swimming against the stream represents the powerful “Pisces” potential. They can be “sharks” – as charismatic and strong leaders with vision and clarity about leadership that can guide an entire nation, like Moses, who was also a Pisces."

Trade you. Look what is said about the "text book" decriptions of Capricorn. Not very flattering to say the least. Cold, pessimistic, gloomy; will marry for money and prestige.

I personally have found that people who have Piscies Sun/Asc or Moon tend to have a really funny senses of humor.

It all depends on which source you read.

I believe it's equally important to focus on the negative as it is to focus on the positive in order to overcome it.

I shake my head in disgust, though, when I read what astrologers have to say about my sign. They depict us to be weak, sensitivity, pathetic, lazy, slow, helpless, and useless people who have no contact with reality.

I believe it's completely inappropriate and am going to stand by my guns in disagreement with what the common depiction of my sign is, as opposed to accepting everything I'm being labeled as.

My problems isn't with the negativity. My problems is with the people that have gone and taken it too far. You have to understand we're being labeled these things in the real world as well.

I truly believe that what today's Zodiac depictions are is completely different than what Gods truth about the Zodiac is, and you'll have a very hard time convincing me otherwise.

I'm sorry, but many of the things being said about Pisces is simply not true. That's all I'm trying to say.

But in case you were wondering, it's not only Pisces I feel are handled incorrectly. I also feel that Cancer and Libra's negative qualities are becoming awfully exaggerated as well.

I've read that Pisces are like reeds, which will be bent by the wind, but won't break.

It all goes back to which source you read. For instance, that page you seem to like is not good at all to describe signs, as there is a huge difference in how they are approached. Pisces is ok, and some others, but Cancer and Leo...

There are some Pisces out there who show themselves as weak and needy, so you can blame those for the descriptions.

When I was a student, one of the girls sharing my flat was a Pisces, and she is not the needy type, but then she is not normal really (I like her very much).

I see some Pisces are very wise (one of them that girl), but many of them do not know that they are wise. And, in general, I see them as very practical, so, yes, that part where they are just dreamy does not fit. In Spain, the Government President that was voted for more years is a Pisces, and the one after him is a Pisces too (Felipe González and José María Aznar).

Nothing less than union with the divine, the source of life, will suit. Whether this is achieved through religious longing, creative expression, or heroin is not so important as the experience itself. Right? Right for Pisces, at any rate. And the dark fish knows no limits either. His name is Power.

i agree with you david, i do not think we are these sleepy,confused, pliable little fish we are described as. i cannot say anything about how it was when that was originally written, but blatently we have evolved just like the other signs. i am a piscean, mercury in aquarius, and i must say the thing which really grinds my gears is when people say we are easily confused... all those things, they are marring the potentials of the common piscean. and cogitating on the way we are described we may as well be impotent. i agree with you, i am glad i saw this by the way, fair play to you for writing it and debunking this fallacy.

it is getting redundent with these descriptions of sleepy-eyed dream weavers who get something done by chance every so often.

I am not a Pisces, but I have been observing and taking notes. I noticed if a person does not want to tell his/her zodiac sign, then they are most likely a Pisces, a Cancer, or sometimes a Virgo. Everyone else has no problem telling their sign. Just an observation...

Pisces is a mutable water sign. It does not come out right away and could be easily overpowered by other personal planets that are in other signs or other elements. I think the story is similar with Cancers and Virgos, their Sun signs are not obvious right away. They are usually somewhere in the background most of the time. But they are there. Some like Pisces, and some don't. That's how it is.

Apparently, Jesus Christ was a Pisces. So now guys you've got something to be proud about.

[Neptune_Lady]

Proud and happy Pisces here!
Every sign has positive and negative qualities.
Pisces is an easy target, but no better or worse than any other sign.
Ok...so hear the negatives, hear the positives...then CHOOSE to aim for the best a Pisces can be.
Hey... our motto is "I BELIEVE"
So believe the BEST and make it so!!

[ImNotThere9]

it is not about self improvement though, it is more about how we are potrayed, often it is not a realistic description.

[Capricornius_Aquarius]

As an Aquarius (Virgo ASC,opposites attract!),I agree that Pisces has been treated unfairly. Being called a drug addict,and too "dreamy". I feel bad for you guys at times (yet again I am over emotional).
