Purely Pisces

Hey all. Just put up fresh horoscopes for September. Videos and written. Here's Pisces:

Monthly Pisces Horoscope

Add me to get these automatically. Lots of love!

(x-post. Sorry to anyone effected).

Have you been toiling away earnestly at the
exhausting homework that life has dumped on you this past year? Have
you kept the faith even when you've been fooled and confused? Have you
applied yourself with a pure heart to the maddening details and puzzling
riddles you've been asked to master? If you've been less than
conscientious at doing these tasks, the next two months will bring you a
series of tricky final exams. But if you *have* been doing your due
diligence, then you're on the brink of graduating from boring old problems
that you have been studying and studying and studying for a long time.
Do we dare hope that you will soon be free of a history that has repeated
itself ad nauseam? Yes, I think we do dare.

As ass-tastic as my life is currently I'm guessing I missed some lesson somewhere along the way.

I hope no one minds this. The last thing I'd want to do is spam the community! But things here have been a bit quiet recently, and I just thought a few of you might appreciate this.

I've basically been on the hunt for the 'perfect' representation of the Pisces symbol for, well, years. ONE of these days - when I get the money and the courage - I would like to get it tattooed somewhere. And I'd just like to have it on some clothing, or something too. I'm usually drawn to the simple Pisces glyph (the back-to-back crescent shapes) FAR more than the Fishes, but... my best friend, an incredibly talented graphic designer, has recently started up Zazzle & CafePress stores. Whenever inspiration hits, he sits down and creates a new design and pops it up on his stores. He has some interesting ideas, and a great eye for design.

Anyway, to the point - he had an idea for a Zodiac line, which was highly encouraged by me, and he decided today to start with Pisces. I felt so honored. :) I'm silly, I know.

Well, long story short (okay, not short, but maybe shortER), I've fallen in absolute LOVE with this design. It's the best take on the Pisces Fish I've ever seen. It incorporates the glyph, the colors, Neptune, the constellation... it's brilliant and beautiful.

I just thought since I was so drawn to it, so enamored, that some of my fellow Pisceans might be too!


Check it out, hope you enjoy. :) He'll be working on the other 11 signs shortly, starting with ...Virgo & Taurus, I think. So if you know anyone who might like them, tell them to keep an eye out?

Note: The design is on several items, not just the shirt. If you'd rather just a little pin, or a tote bag or whatever... it's on them all!

Hello!

I stumbled upon this community and thought it was fun so I joined.
My son and I are both pisces which is exciting for me (I have this thought that one day he'll think it's a badass idea to get a fish each tattooed on us so when we hold our (insert body part) together it forms the fish symbol. My sister thinks by the time he's able to get tattooed he'll think it lame! :)

Does anyone else have a pisces child and is themselves a pisces? 
I'm engaged to a Leo. We've been together for four years and we've gone through hell and back but we're recovering and hoping for the best! 

Also if you're looking for more lj friends add away! I love learning about new people!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): If a cow is given a name by her owner, she generates more milk than a cow that's treated as an anonymous member of the herd. That's the conclusion of a study done by researchers at Newcastle University in the UK. "Placing more importance on knowing the individual animals and calling them by name," said Dr. Catherine Douglas, "can significantly increase milk production." Building on that principle, Pisces, I suggest that you give everything in your world names, including (but not limited to) houseplants, insects, cars, appliances, and trees. Of course this is always a good idea, because it enhances your connection with all of creation. But it's an especially smart approach now, when getting more up-close and personal should be your specialty.

This is going to sound depressing, but this horoscope sounds to me like a sure-fire way for me to get even more attached and therefore more sad and anxious, about the loss of said named thing in the future.

I recently ordered the book "The Pisces Enigma" by Jane Ridder-Patrick and just want to say that I highly recommend it to all my fellow fishy's out there ;)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): We're faced with an economic downturn as well as the need to take strenuous measures to heal the environment. Does that mean we have to dial down our pursuit of happiness? Are we obligated to have less fun and deny ourselves pleasure? I say no, as do the editors at TreeHugger.com. One of their articles, for example, gives extensive advice on how to have great sex in small, fuel-efficient, low-emissions cars. With this as your inspiration, Pisces, identify five other ways to enjoy yourself without having to spend a fortune or hurt the earth. It's an excellent time, astrologically speaking, to experiment with the hypothesis that cutting down on consumerism can help you discover new approaches to feeling really good. (For other ideas, check out tinyurl.com/6ofzvt.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): A column in the *Washington Post* called "The Style Invitational" has identified the "Top 10 New Religions." I'm calling your attention to two that might be attractive to you in the coming months, a time when you'll probably have urges to transform and expand upon your spiritual practices. First, there are the Oxymormons, who engage in polygamous monogamy. The second group is the Salivationists. They speak in tongues like some other sects, but they also speak in drool. A third option, of course, is for you to whip up your own brand new, totally unique religion using just the parts you really like from all of the other traditions. However you do it, Pisces, I encourage you to be playfully creative as you get more disciplined about your relationship with the Divine Wow.

Ok, from now on I will totally be using the phrase "Divine Wow"...

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Describing his writing class at Sarah Lawrence College, Jeffrey McDaniel says: "There are two kinds of humor: ha-ha humor that is light and airy and floats into the sky like a balloon, vanishing as the giggling subsides; and then there is a darker, heavier humor that is still there when the laughter stops, a humor that must be reckoned with, a humor with teeth." I suggest, Pisces, that you make the latter your specialty, your passion, and your medicine. Consort with belly laughs and sublime guffaws that rouse the ferocity you need in order to penetrate deeper into the heart of the Great Mystery.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): In the sci-fi film *The Matrix,* a small band of people have managed to escape from the collective hallucination that most of their fellow humans are stuck inside. Though life is hard staying free, there are some perks. They can, for instance, get downloads of data directly into their brains that allow them to quickly master complex tasks. In this way, the heroine, Trinity, learns to fly a helicopter in a few minutes. I call your attention to these fictional events, Pisces, because I think you're close to pulling off real-life accomplishments that resemble them. First, you're in an excellent position to slip away from certain illusions that enslave some of the people around you. Second, you have an enormous power to rapidly understand new information and acquire new skills.
