Pisceans can be very impressionable, receptive, intuitive and subtle, with a creative imagination. With their emotional, sensitive nature they lean very much to the arts, painting, sculpture, pottery, theatre, television and music. They are spinners of dreams and illusion and with their secretiveness and spiritual nature they also make excellent priests, nuns, magicians or psychics. They lack a little in willpower, rational thought and practicality at times. They have a desire to help those who are less fortunate than them selves and may at some time in their life take care of the sick, the needy or animals. They may enjoy working in institutional areas, such as hospitals, nursing homes, orphanages and prisons. They have very healing hands and would do well as a physiotherapist, chiropractor or masseur. They will always have the primitive urge to transcend the material, to break down all barriers, pierce through all illusions of artificial social and religious structures of behaviour and conformity. They have an in-built faith in the unknown. They can easily enter into the feelings of others and share with them, without any binds that restrict them to the personal. Pisces people always seem to have a marvellous ability to adapt to almost any situation and this is why you will see a Piscean in every conceivable occupation. Happy, warm and congenial conditions are very important to the Pisces person, as they are peaceful people at heart and dislike violence, unless they are threatened.

Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, or Mandrake the Magician, the Pisces person is full of magic and mischief and their world is rich with emotional tornadoes. They are always full of confused, changeable emotions and have a tendency to fly away with the pixies and fairies where romantic dreams are concerned. If ever there was a sign that attracts disappointing and hurtful lovers, this is the one. The Pisces person has an overpowering sense of obligation and self-sacrifice where love is concerned. They can be classed as romantic, mysterious, beautiful, elusive, passive people and full of exciting surprises. They need a lot of love and protection, but seldom seem to get it. During their lifetime, they may undergo radical changes in their sexuality and can be late bloomers. They learn quickly and always like to give with pleasure to their lover's demands, and the more outrageous their partner the more they like it. Pisceans don't mind being possessed but secretly aim to be the dominant partner of the situation. They like to cater for their lover's fantasies and they win their partner's heart by making them feel special. The Pisces in love gets carried away with erotica and just loves being surrounded by incense, candles, soft pillows and any surrounding or props that will enhance their sexuality. Pisceans can always use their eyes very effectively to transmit messages and they have a powerful intuition when it comes to attracting a partner.

Pisces rules the feet, as well as the fingers, the ligaments, the muscles, the lymphatic system and the kingdom of the human psyche. Very receptive and sensitive, Pisceans' physical problems will originate with their emotional afflictions, which will make diagnosing their illnesses very hard and will sometimes result in incorrect conclusions. Also very impressionable, they will have to avoid being with negative or unbalanced people, as this has an adverse effect upon them. They will not pay much attention to diets and treatments; they think they know it all when it comes to health. Their lazy attitude, plus their tendency to retain liquids, can easily cause them to be overweight at some period. Pisceans are subject to certain addictions, so they will have to avoid tranquillisers, alcohol and gambling throughout their life.

Pisces' parents need to remember that their children will have to avoid sleeping too much to escape their problems; they need an artistic or creative outlet. They have to have a balanced diet and stick to it, avoiding highly salted food and perhaps use a low-sodium salt. They need to seek inner harmony and peace with positive people. They should involve themselves with spiritual groups or practise yoga, meditation, prayer and some creative art. They should always be active and perform mental control exercises to eradicate negative thoughts and suggestions. The short-term problems related to Pisces' health could originate from low vitality, a lack of oxygenation of the blood, a lack of vitamins A and D and magnesium. This could bring problems with the circulatory system, a lack of circulation to the arms and legs, heart problems, palpitations, angina, fever and so on. Generally, all their problems with health will be closely associated with their emotional world.

In order to prevent these problems, Pisces should include these elements in his or her diet: alfalfa, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, celery, lettuce, green and red capsicum, spinach, watercress, sweet potato, tomato, fresh or dried peach, cherry, apple, lemon, orange, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, fresh cheese and yoghurt. The long-term problems related to Pisces' health could originate from exhaustion of the nervous system, which could result in stress, spasms and general irregularities due to tension. Also, Pisces could have ankle swelling, varicose veins and leg pains. In order to prevent these problems, Pisceans should follow the diet mentioned above, plus all foods high in the B vitamins, like chickpeas, lentils, legumes in general, whole grains, walnuts and seeds, coconut, grapes, pineapple, bee pollen and egg yolk. It will also be important for them to wear comfortable shoes with low heels and to walk barefoot sometimes.

Pisces' destiny is bound up with travelling and foreign countries. Most likely they will travel a lot for business reasons or reside in a place or country different from where they were born. Pisces will be restless and will probably be involved in two activities at once, one that will provide financial stability and another that will give pleasure. If they have artistic tendencies these will probably be expressed through photography, movies, video, the theatre or another medium in which shape and movement are the main elements. Pisceans will also have a strong religious and philosophical view of life and may serve their religion with a missionary zeal. They will follow an ideology and want to teach it to others. Their free spirit loves nature in every manifestation, which is why travelling will revitalise them.

As adults, when they are looking for more stability or when they retire, they will be interested in life in the country and breeding animals or watching a view of the sea or mountains. Everything they do will be touched by a little luck, which will make life easier for them. Things may happen quite suddenly and unexpectedly. Their vocational choice may be one of the following: tourism, diplomacy, foreign trade, photography, movies, journalism, psychology, philosophy or the priesthood. They may want to become a primary or high school teacher or university professor, publican, social worker, drycleaner, medical practitioner, jailer, junk or second hand dealer, poet, secret agent, shoe salesperson or repairer, car salesperson, warden, veterinarian, farmer, nurse, rest-home employee, professional musician, chemist, barrister, police officer, fisherman, secretary, sex worker, hairdresser, naturopath, psychic, seafarer, manager, public servant, court reporter or any other profession that stimulates curiosity and requires an ability in communication.

They must have a happy environment to work in, otherwise they will be unhappy with their occupation. This does not mean that they will always enjoy what they are doing, because being so sensitive, impressionable and responsive to external conditions means that they pick up and absorb the influences around them. If the vibrations are happy, harmonious and constructive, they will respond and reflect them. However, if the situation or environment is discordant or destructive, their reaction then will be very disturbing. For this reason it is very important that they mix with people who are good for them and that they work in an environment and occupation that is conducive to peace, harmony and cooperation, to give them a degree of soul satisfaction. They are not people who are made to cope with the harsh, ruthless realities of the materialistic world. They have a wonderful imagination and this combined with their vision and inner source of inspiration means that they can excel in most types of career.

Pisces woman is a cross between Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother, full of magic and mischief. She can be very emotional, mysterious, beautiful and romantic. Her subtle, elusive personality works well in any romantic situation. She has the knack of seducing her prey with a touch of intuitive insight and sophistication. The Piscean lady is always in love with love. At times she is away in the world of the never-never. She is happy when she can pour out her feelings and accept more than her share of other people's problems at the same time. She is sentimental and sensitive, but deep down has a strong need for independence. Her pull toward the unknown metaphysical subjects is strong. Never underestimate her intuition – she will be spot-on. She is easygoing in most cases and does not thrive on challenge and change, yet she is dominated by the changing situations of her day-to-day routine. The Pisces woman has a tendency to distrust herself and escape into apathy and confusion. She should learn to love herself more, to be more optimistic. She will take a month of Sundays to make up her mind at times, and her procrastinating nature will cause her to miss out on many opportunities that could benefit her future security.

The compassionate humanistic and nurturing side of her personality is beyond reproach. She can be an angel of mercy when you need her. A wonderful lover, Piscean woman needs to love herself more. She requires a lot of love and protection, but seldom seems to get it, due to her obligation to others and her vulnerability to the opposite sex. With her, it is as if every sign of the zodiac were wrapped up in one parcel. She is a Pandora's Box, full of surprises. She needs to distinguish between commitment and attachment. She is a wonderful mother, always there at her children's beck and call, even into their adult years. You could sum up the Pisces lady by saying she is the most loving, giving, calming and sweet woman in the world. If you win her heart she will be your truest friend forever.

The Pisces man will align himself with his true priorities in life: his work and his family. He is an emotional, serious man and will take his responsibilities very much to heart. He will do his best to the point where he will often give of his time, energy and support way above the line of duty to please his superiors and assist his family. He is an earnest person, conscientious and willing. Because he is a man with deep and strong feelings, he invests a great deal of emotional energy in his work and family, fulfilling his commitments on both fronts. Although at times he appears selfish, he shares himself with his family, which is a source of infinite joy. He is a man of strong family and spiritual values. He loves and cherishes his children and will work tirelessly to raise and educate them, giving them all the help and advantages he can. Pisces men can be touchy, temperamental and very easily offended. They can become a negative, liar, depressed and defeatist, and tend to make others around them depressed also. They find it very difficult to stand up for themselves under adverse conditions and this lack of fighting spirit could annoy and disappoint others. The Pisces man can be prone to anxiety; sometimes he may worry too much over trivial issues. He can be a dreadful procrastinator; this will frustrate those close to him, including his workmates. He can be a little self-righteous too, which could rub others up the wrong way.

The Pisces nature is idealistic, so Pisces man will have personal principles he believes in and he will want to run his life by them. He is extremely kind-hearted and caring, and you will revel in the gentle, emotional tenderness and warmth he lavishes upon you. He is a thoughtful and compassionate person, and you will treasure the considerate things he does to please you. The Pisces mind is reflective, creative, perceptive and intuitive. He will ponder and analyse issues and decisions at length, seeking answers and direction. When you have a delicate matter to handle you will appreciate his perceptive and sensitive evaluations and insights. Likewise, when you have an ambitious project to tackle his creative, imaginative suggestions will set your thoughts soaring.

Pisces man is very emotional and romantic in love, and will use all kinds of manipulative tactics to seduce you. He adores a woman with class and a sensual body. He enjoys his home comforts; they give him a sense of security, which is important to him. Success is a fulfilling joy for the Pisces man. He gives so much of himself to his work and strives so conscientiously that he has a deep emotional investment in achieving his set goals. Good food, wine and music are things he enjoys, and he can be a pleasant host at a dinner party. There is a strong, inherent artistic streak in the Pisces make-up and this will manifest itself as a special talent or a deep appreciation for the arts. Pisces man can be his own worst enemy. Criticism upsets him, yet he is always critical of himself. He cannot stand domination – it makes him moody and temperamental. This man can be a real wimp if he does not get his own way.

Saturn the planet of stability, restriction, commonsense and practical application will oppose your sign for the next two and a half years. During this period you will find yourself going through some major changes in health, personality and ways of communicating with others. You may find yourself becoming physically tired as if the burdens of life are too much for you. During 2008 you should avoid excessive strain and nervous anxiety as it could lead to health breakdowns. If you hang on and are patient, you will find there is a light at the end of the tunnel and opportunities will soon return for success.  Throughout this year you may wish to start a new project or hobby, study, improve your knowledge and skills, or cut off those negative aspects of your character and show a new side of yourself.

Jupiter, planet of abundance will certainly shine upon you this year as it link favourably with Uranus in your sign and a change of luck is now on the way through your contact with others. If you have been limited with mobility and transportation in the past, then this year you will rectify the problem by you either moving to an area that is in close proximity to your work, or you will purchase some form of new motor transport that will allow you greater mobility and independence. During 2008 you may be called upon to head a new venture or take control of an important issue, plan or task and you will certainly be in a position to show the world what you are made of.

Contracts are best negotiated in the months of March, April, May, July, October and November. These are also good months for investment, career changes, speculation and adventure. You may wish to travel during these times as well for business or pleasure.

From July onward a more aggressive or determined attitude could cause some nervous tension and you should watch general health problems that may interfere with your diplomacy around the home front or the job place. Singles may need to take greater care when forming new relationships during the months of March, May, June, July and October, as you may experience aggression or excessive possessiveness from the opposite sex. Mars will influence your drive and enthusiasm throughout this year and Piscean parents will show greater parental care and a watchful eye on their children’s activities. Some children might become rebellious due to added parental restriction and control, it may be necessary for some parents to be protective or use cautionary measures to help children avoid unnecessary conflict throughout 2008.

On a less personal level, those Pisceans working toward a common goal will achieve wonders, especially with travel, contracts, financial and/or business activities and special projects. For those involved with higher education, studies, or training establishments can expect a great year for progress and personal achievement. The planetary aspects of 2008 will influence your inspiration, energy and resourcefulness for any new direction, business plan or method to succeed.

Many singles will consider marriage or decide to start a family. Venus will form some extra-ordinary planetary aspects this year to assist in your romantic and emotional relationships. Highlight of important aspects will be prominent in March, April, May, June, August, September and November. During July and August, Mars will transit the zodiac sign of Virgo and you may feel a little pressure with work or education responsibilities verses your love life. Don’t be at all surprised if you have to make a few little compromises during these months, otherwise you may find your partner making some big demands regarding the future of your relationship. For many you may have a destiny link with a Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio or Capricorn and what a powerful combination this will be. When a Piscean has a partnership with any of these signs they could be in for more than just a mental relationship, as lust and physical fireworks may get the emotional and sexual qualities of these signs very incense during the last six months of this year.

Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio and Pisces may also appear in your destiny this year and some will consider settling down in a permanent living relationship or marriage. Venus will conflict with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto at times throughout 2008 and aloneness may alternate with a strong emphasis on relationships, indicating a seesaw, all-or-nothing life-style during the year. But usually aloneness carries more meaning and greater importance than merely being by yourself. You may need time alone to sort out or take care of your own emotional interests and work out the direction you wish to proceed. Some singles will consider going into seclusion to avoid superficial and unnecessary social contacts with friends and loved ones. Take care throughout 2008 that you are not used and abused in your relationships with others, throughout the year you could be plagued by the demands of several neighbours and friends who will constantly call upon you for help. You may not mind helping others, but your generous personality will allow the demands of others to become excessive and eventually you will find you are running around after others with little or no time for your self. You may consider shutting the door to certain relationships, especially those that create heartache for yourself. Neptune will create “escapism” and this is a word you should avoid, when you are confronted with an emotional situation or problem. Meet things head on, don’t go around or avoid the issues, otherwise you could find yourself in serious street with no escape route. The ability to accept more responsibility with or for each other will be common this year.

Marriage, raising children, and purchasing homes together are three common events that reflect this year’s change. For singles, your relationship will gain more stability because of a new definition of purpose and intent. For those who basically love a close friend but have never told them, well this is a leap year and you can now pluck up the courage to pop the question and venture into the relationship head on and do something about it.

Pleasant relationships with family and friends make this a happy year and favours can be asked and help will be given. Children may influence your year or you may meet someone with an age difference that appeals to you. As long as you understand what is going on between your partner and yourself throughout 2008 and doesn’t demand the impossible, this year will bring some fascinating surprises in your love life.

During the months of March to May, planetary influence will boost your service rolls, jobs and routine matters. You may feel a little bored with your daily routine during this time and look for a career or business opportunity with more challenge and personal satisfaction. However, don’t be at all surprised if you have to wait until late July onward before you really find your real direction. During Late July to the end of 2008 your profession, career, status, ambition, business prestige, achievements and your worldly goals will be achieved. This will be one of the most important times in your life, as you strive to achieve more than you have ever done before. Important changes you make in your business, profession, career, and daily routine will have a lasting effect in the future for you.

You appear to have come to a fork in the road, and your psychological response to the options offered during the next 12 months sets the pattern for future growth in the years ahead. Many Pisceans will decide on a career that involves a change in profession or employment into an entirely new direction. For some you can expect a change of direction into an exciting new venture and travel may be part of your job. Some will accept a financial package, or be retrenched from a job, while some will settle down to greater responsibility either in their present career or new employment. This year will certainly give all Pisceans an opportunity to forge ahead in their career positions, acquiring power and authority through promotion or transfer. Generally, throughout this year changes are occurring on external and internal levels, so both job and attitudinal changes are likely. If you own and operate your own company or small business, it is time to reassess your goals for the future, and the way you do business in the present.

Throughout the first six months of 2008 certain practices or structures may limit your future business needs. You may choose to expand, streamline or shut down and move on to greener pastures. Any career or job problems must be addressed this year and whatever you plan to initiate, the transition will probably evolve over a year’s time. If you are employed by government or a multi-national company you might wish to change jobs and direction, especially if old professional pursuits are no longer fulfilling. On the other hand, you may instil new life into your old job, by taking on greater responsibility and introducing new concepts, tasks and philosophies to your manager or co-workers. This may lead to a changed job description, or future career possibilities and promotions. Your ambitions will be implied in everything you do this year and advancement is possible for those who are willing to work for it, or are able to negotiate the corporate power structure.

A compulsive push for success throughout 2008, especially from August to December will enable you to make career moves that propel you to a higher professional bracket. Use your ambition to hang in there for the long haul and finish those long-term projects that are crucial to advancement. For those who are currently unemployed will have new opportunities or contracts for long-term engagements in a field of endeavour that you will enjoy. Care should also be taken with co-workers career difficulties can be associated disputes and clashes of personality. Within this climate, power plays begin to take precedence over promotion as manipulative tactics disrupt normal employment. Just as hard work and a healthy ambition will push you toward success, psychological complexes and power struggles can thwart your efforts if care is not taken. Overall this year will see you more settled in a chosen career as your enthusiasm and integrity becomes foremost in your personality.

When planning travel for a holiday this year, look at value for money, otherwise you may pay for something that turns out to be a lemon or a big expense with little to show for it afterwards. The type of holiday that would suit you this year is one that gives you satisfaction through rest and relaxation, rather than late nights and early mornings. A secluded holiday resort, heath farm or a tropical island would be your best bet, where you can unwind from a busy year. From January until December, Jupiter the planet of expansion, good fortune and luck, will influence your sector of Friendships, entertainment, reunions, meetings, family get-togethers, parties and fun times.

Throughout 2008 you will feel very excited about your personal goals, push ahead with all your personal plans. You may hit a “jackpot” where money is concerned as gains can be made in just about anything you do, providing you put your mind to it. This is a good year to negotiate loans, contracts, change your employment, buy or sell goods. You may find yourself wanting for greater emotional and material security and your accumulation of material assets will be important to you. Some will gain from a parent or relative in some way or communications from others may bring an unexpected financial surprise. This is a year of financial change especially in matters to do with assets after the month of September 2008.

In time you could also be prone to rheumatism or arthritis in the arms and joints. Difficulties can also arise in your nervous system because of the lack of calcium and manganese. Your short-term health problems may be caused by a decrease in mobility, especially with your lower back and also a lack of oxygenation of the body, lack of vitamins A and D. This could cause circulatory problems, poor circulation in the extremities, cardiac problems, palpitations, angina, fevers, etc. In general, your health problems will be tied to your emotions and stress.
