Pisces and drugs

Post deleted

A stereotype is what it is. I really dont like stereotypes that is why Im interested in astrology as its not just the sun sign. I have strong neptune (1st house) and lots of pisces in 5th house. but I have never done drugs.

Im very receptive to others energies particularly there feelings.

but I really think that 'all pisces are drug taking ' etc type statements are pointless. its just not true. I currently work with two piscean suns who lead large programmes of work. I notice that relations with others are not easy for them but they are great at their jobs.

just wanted to counter your opinion.

Im an aqua sun

Self-medication is a funny term to describe it , but being on earth you have to take "something" to escape it. I prefer the music routes and daydreaming, imaginative realms. I am a strong Piscean (3 planets) 2 Neptune squares. The individual character isn't always too strong. Neptunians fall into drugs easily and they are not robust people, and tend to go with the flow. Pisces and Neptunians are said to have weaker will power and weakened body, so it can be detrimental.

I will have to check the horoscope of my Auntie who died this week, she was an alcoholic, but she suffered voices in the head and declined mentally; she tried jumping out of windows etc. And family are saying she suffered Schizophrenia and there were attempts to get her committed. All I know at this point is that she was a Leo, but I don't want to ask for her birth-date outright. I have had transiting Jupiter conjunct Moon/Mercury in Pisces square Neptune. Jupiter-Neptune rules my 7th and 8th houses (interception). I am waiting for the post mortem and will try and get her details. Most of it reeks of Neptune, but you can never be sure. I need to find out what rules an 'auntie' in the natal chart. I have read Jupiter rules uncles so it might be the same for the female side.

I have noticed people suffering from drugs more under Neptune in transit, so not all signs escape from it. There can be periods where normally strong charts can fall under "Neptune" and lose reality for a while. . The lunar side of my family has had a bad history, which is represented by my own chart. My fathers side is funnily enough Saturnine in many ways, I get to live out both the solar and lunar drama .

Mmm I am a full on Pisces, Sun, Mars and Mercury with a lot of asteriods and even the South Node. Never took a bad drug in my life... I was going to say that all Pisceans are not self medicators, but thinking when I do experience pain, not mental pain, just physical pain I go for the painkillers, I have never had an addiction, but I am none to be a pill poper. I do feel like I want to medicate stress, lol, but I know the sterotype and stay away from it. I prefer to drink when I am happy and never go near alcohol if I am sad.

As Neptune is about to enter my 11th and about to conjunct Mars the ruler of my ascendant, I have wondered what effect this will have on me. I have thought about this some, I have had problems in concieving in the past, so maybe its got to do with taking fertility drugs, Neptune is the 11th could also mean adopting some children. We shall see.

i feel silly writing a response because you know much more about astro than me caprising but i will anyway

i think youre totally right on with your description of the neptune influence!! (hooch? hahaha thats a new one to me) anyway i have no planets in pisces but i have neptune exactly opp my moon &tightly square my sun and a few other sextiles and aside from making me a completely disillusioned dream chaser that can make a pile of **** look like a pile of gold in my mind, i also enjoy mind altering substances A LOT haha. maybe 5th house ruled by pisces has something to do with me having "fun" with drugs? dunno.
so i think neppy the ruler of pisces is the culprit and not planets in pisces...just my novice 2 cents!

A long time ago, before the outer planets were known and their qualities determined, medicinal substances affecting the mind (like getting high or "mind altering" effects, what we today would refer to as hallucinogens or entheogens) were known as "deleriants" or "deleriofascents"; of interest is that these substances were universally considered to be under the Moon's rulership in principal (narcotics were under Saturn,soothing agents under Venus, stimulants under Mars, "nervines"-medicines affecting the nervous system but not acting as soporific/narcotics or deleriants-were placed under Mercury), but whatever altered the mind, was given to the Moon...

gosh i hate drugs i have a strong neptunian influcence( pisces sun mercury venus pt of fortune in the 12th) i am a nurse and i have never been into drugs or drinking etc i like to think of the positive side of pisces not dwell on neg of course i have a strong aries rising and aquarian moon as well but i was told once that pisces have one foot on earth and one in heaven
i like to say musicians artists do drugs is just to judgemental and general

Charles Carter has some excellent discussions regarding Pisces in his old book, "The Zodiac and the Soul".

How many times have you seen the stereotypical Piscean looking musician/artist who's "on the drugs"? I've seen plenty (I used to hang out with that kind of crowd years ago), it's too obvious to ignore the fact that having too much "neptunian" influence can make one look for some kind of relief......from what? I would say from being "too receptive" to the people energy that serrounds them. They probably pick up on the average persons unconcious vibes, fear vibes, and have a smoke of hooch in order to calm down and tune out internally. Have you ever been in a large group of people and felt "very uncomfortable"? I have, and now that my progressed ascendant is at 29 degrees Aquarius, I can feel it moreso, I'm suggesting that the average john/jane doe lives in fear , but cant or wont acknowlege this, instead they put on their "public mask". Maybe "self medication" is a more non judging term than "escapism".....I'm just thinking aloud!

I agree that strongly Piscean people are very sensitive to the vibrations around them and need some sort of protection or escape. THey look for a faith often to give their life some sort of groundedness and drugs are often a way of tapping into their artistic side, they say......I have Pisces rising and I have to put a psychic shield around me very often and it works. I dont drink or take drugs and have Neptune in the 8th also.....I also think that addictions are very often genetic and alcoholism is a physical disease as well. THey dont always deal with the realities of life and want to live in a nirvana that is not possible on this planet without some sort of mind altering substances, I would suggest.

I AM a pisces and every thing being said is true, i get angry easily, i take alcohol and some weed to help me relex because i always have thoughts in my head and self pity, i am not too friendly, i AM a introvate people bore me with their fake lifestyles, i AM a dreamer i Also fall in love easily but then if you hurt me i will leave you immidiatly, i always want to be alone, to think about my future and goals.

Pisces ruled by Neptune signifies addiction, obsession and life schedules. Personally, I knew a couple who are both Pisces (wife-March 2, husband-Feb.22, same year-1963) and they hardly have personal time, due to their work and family errands. Sun Pisceans in astrology are more under the influence of Neptune than any other sign: To focus heavily on one thing or drift to an inner "dream" or "fantasy" world, something drug addiction and alcoholism is similar to, one's inability to handle life and self-medicate themselves to withdraw or escape from life difficulties. Moon and Mercury placements in Pisces (my natal Mercury is in Pisces close to my Sun/Moon conjunction in Aquarius), as well its ruler planet recently in Pisces, have somewhat a similar effect prone to develop mental and psychological issues, although I don't drink alcohol a lot nor does any illegal drugs. My Neptune in Sagittarius square Mercury in Pisces.
