A Lot of People Don’t Really Know Pisces

This is what an empowered Pisces really wants you to understand

Who a Pisces Really is

Most people think Pisces is this dreamy, flaky, wishy-washy, little napper whose head is stuck in the clouds, but they don’t really understand the true nature of an empowered Pisces.

Pisces is a mutable sign that can mutate, change, and adapt to situations easily. They are multifaceted and, like chameleons, they can take on many forms and different personas, which is the reason Pisces is so misunderstood.

Pisces is represented by two fishes swimming in opposite directions — bound by a spiritual chord — which symbolizes the duality and a mirror of the contradictory patterns of Pisces.

One fish swims downstream representing the ego, and the other fish swims upstream representing the soul. Either the soul controls the ego and makes it serve, or the soul is bound and held captive by the ego. The latter only brings Pisces deep suffering.

Because of Pisces’s fishy nature, they may appear as having a split personality — meaning they are one way today and a totally different way the next day. They are often misunderstood in life because of how much they change within a short period of time.

Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the god of the Seas in Roman Mythology. Neptune represents dreams, imagination, and all things spiritual. It also represents confusion, delusion, and illusion.

Pisces isn’t just this dreamy little napper whose head is stuck in the clouds. They prefer to exist in the clouds, floating above the rest of the world as they cross the lines between fantasy and reality. It’s existing in this dream-like state that makes Pisces who they are.

Because of this spiritual nature of Pisces, one needs to sharpen their intuition to reach and connect with a Pisces on a deeper and higher level. This will allow them to feel expansive to show you their magical side. A Pisces will show you who they really are if you hold space for them to be comfortable and be fully themselves without feeling judged.

Most people think Pisces is a sweetie. A Pisces can be your wildest dream or your worst nightmare. It’s all in your frequency and how you choose to handle them. Like Scorpio, a Pisces knows how to hold a grudge for as long as she chooses, and they can be very dangerous when provoked.

In Pisces, you find both the weakest and strongest, the light and dark, the yin and yang often together in a conflicted duality, as symbolized by its sign of the two fish swimming in opposite directions.

Because of the spiritual abilities of Pisces, they are born to either serve or suffer. Their highest purpose is to serve, and if they’re not serving the “greater good” Pisces is doomed to a life of suffering. (Photo: Comfreak on Pixabay)

How a Pisces Really Feels

Pisces is an empath and highly sensitive. They run on e.motion (energy in motion) and their emotions can sometimes overwhelm them.

As the twelfth and last sign of the zodiac, Pisces contains within itself a little experience of all the signs. This gives Pisces the ability to identify with people from all backgrounds and walks of life. They aren’t just changeable and adaptable, but they also have open minds and can easily put themselves in people’s shoes to gain a deeper level of understanding of the person.

Pisces is highly intuitive and can therefore sympathize with the world, but they sometimes — if not careful — end up becoming a sponge, absorbing the feelings and emotions of others. A Pisces may leave a situation making the other person feel good, while they absorb the other person’s dense energies and carrying them as their own.

Pisceans are old souls and have been through many challenges, difficulties, and suffering in their life, which has made them very wise. Their suffering has to do with their “serve or suffer” motto.

They are extremely vulnerable because their emotions run as wide as the ocean itself. Because of this extreme sensitivity, vulnerability, and a strong desire to serve, a Pisces is often feeling tired, helpless, and weak, but you may never know that because they have a strong side.

They may not know how to explain their feelings to you when they don’t even know what they are feeling.

Pisces is a natural healer. They are used to being the one taking care of everybody, making sure the family is good, and the friend is alive, but it's hard to notice when a Pisces is crying for help and needs to be taken care of.

They are used to figuring out everything for themselves so when your Pisces says they don't need you, that's when they need you the most. When you love a Pisces, you must pay attention to their mental and emotional health. Sometimes they are drowning in their sea of emotions and just need someone to pull them up for air.

Because of their healing nature, they attract the broken, the damaged, and the wounded. Unfortunately, these people get to experience the depths and magical touch of a Pisces, so they take and take until the Pisces is drained and left feeling wounded. If Pisces is taking care of you and you fail to pay attention to her, you are using the Pisces by taking without replenishing. They know when you are using them and they will eventually cut the chord.

Because of the spiritual abilities of Pisces, they are born to either serve or suffer. Their highest purpose is to serve, and if they’re not serving, Pisces is doomed to a life of suffering.

What a Pisces Really Needs

Pisces needs freedom and space to be themselves. They crave the freedom to go to faraway places where she is needed. To give Pisces freedom is to give them space to fully expand to become who they truly are.

Pisceans is artistic and creative in nature because of its ruler Neptune, but Pisces may not be the best at getting their point across. This is why Mercury completely falls in Pisces.

Pisces communicate best when you can make them comfortable enough to show you the beauty in something, which is why Venus, the planet of love and beauty, is exalted in Pisces. Pisces needs you to make them comfortable enough to give you a peek into their soul where they can show you all the things they just don’t have the words to say.

Pisces' heads may be in the clouds, and that's why they need people around them to keep their feet on the ground. They need people around who will protect them and their energy. They need people around who are genuinely looking out for them or they will spread themselves thin.

If you can come to them from an authentic soul space, respect their spiritual nature, understand and not judge them, they are the best you’ve ever been around. They are almost magical and mystical.

Pisceans are old souls and have been through many challenges, difficulties, and suffering in their life, which has made them very wise. Their suffering has to do with their “serve or suffer” motto.

What a Pisces Wants You to Understand

A Pisces doesn't care what you think of them or how they look to you.

They don't care that you think they are crazy. They don't care that you think they are delusional. They don’t care what their past looks like to you. They don't care that you think they are multifaceted. They proudly own up to who they are and don't need approval or validation.

They know what they did and didn’t do, and they take full responsibility for the things they’ve done. Whatever a Pisces did in the past, they did it because they wanted to and that is something between them and God. A Pisces has no reason to explain to any human being what they’ve done, and why they did it.

Pisces are pure-hearted — all they do is match your energy and show you yourself. If you dislike the version of the Pisces you are met with, they are probably only mirroring yourself back to you.

If you don't like how Pisces is around you, ask yourself, “Do I like me?”

Remember, a Pisces will take on the form of whatever container they are put into.
