Pisces: 19 February - 20 March*
On the upside:
Pisces is perhaps the most difficult of the signs to define, because by its nature it changes its appearance and adapts its moods to who or whatever it is faced with at any given time. This sign is capable of rising to greater heights of self-sacrifice or of sinking to lower depths of depravity than any other in the zodiac. Pisces lives its life through its emotions, and through others it encounters. It makes friends easily as it is not interested in judging or discriminating. Their ability to slip into any reality makes Pisceans natural actors. They can be highly creative and artistic as they have a profound ability to "feel" their art. They are likely to be psychic, sensitive to the emotional sea washing around them.

Possible downsides:
Pisceans are often misunderstood, as they’re not too good at explaining their motivations, which they feel rather than rationalise. They are oblivious to detail, and hate planning and structure as these are far too limiting. A Pisces may seek escape from the sea of emotions it swims in through daydreams, a boundless imagination, or indulging in other realities induced by drugs or alcohol. Their characteristic lack of boundaries means that Pisceans tend to do everything to excess.

The bottom line …
The boundless imagination and deep yearning to become one with “the other” characteristic of this sign means you’ll often find Pisces living in another world, be that a world of great artistic creativity or, in the worst case, a destructive downward spiral of drugs and alcohol abuse.

A Pisces might have said:
"The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely." Carl Jung.

*The Sun goes into and leaves each zodiac sign at slightly different times each year. As a general convention, Sun sign columns use the approximate date range for each sign. If you are unsure which sign your Sun is in, ask an Astrologer.
