The
Pisces personality, traits and characteristics
Pisces personality, characteristics and
compatability - Pisces Zodiac Sign - ruled by Jupiter, co-ruler
Neptune.
Your Sun Zodiac sign may not best describe
your personality features, your characteristics and general
qualities that you bring to life. For many people, their
Ascendant or its planetary ruler is the more obvious characteristic,
or sometimes the Moon sign. Your Sun sign, rather, says
more about the direction you should be moving in, to make
the contribution to humanity you were born to make, and
thus achieve a degree of personal fulfilment.
In western mythology, life began in the
Garden of Eden, in Paradise, in perfect harmony with the
divine. Then we became conscious of ourselves as separate
human beings through an act of disobedience, and were cast
out of Paradise. The Catholic Church still refers in its
liturgy to the 'happy fault' which this act of disobedience
was, for it gave us the opportunity to become fully human,
which in turn led to the coming of God as a human being
in order to restore us to Himself, but in a more complete
way than we ever would have experienced had we never left
Paradise.
Pisces witness to the difficult task of
straddling this divide - between the human and the divine.
More than any other sign, perhaps, Pisces experiences normal
human life as limited, for it excludes so much that can
make life more complete. Yet, even Pisceans have to live
as human beings in a world full of limitations. Coming to
terms with the necessity to live in a world separate from
Paradise can be an immense problem. Some may attempt to
live as if exclusion from Paradise had never happened, and
live life in a constant daydream, very ineffective in the
world as it is. Others, however, may learn to live life
in the human arena in such a way as to infuse it with divine
meaning.
Pisces is often associated with music, dance,
drama and other forms of art, as these can give a sense
that there is something beyond life lived at the simply
human level, and can open up people's awareness to a richer
reality than that lived in day to day living. Alcohol and
drugs can also provide awareness of another dimension, but
used unwisely, they are regressive rather than progressive,
and represent an escape to the womb rather than an advance
to a richer life infused with wealth from a spiritual dimension..
