Personality Profile:

As the last of the twelve Zodiac signs, Pisces is said to contain aspects of them all. This makes the Pisces Sun so changeable as to appear not to have one singular identity. It's as if they're just touching down in this human reality, and light enough to try on a few personas.

Those with the Sun in Pisces can be so dreamy as to seem "somewhere else" half the time. They're tuned into the spiritual side of things, and this gives them an otherworldly air. It can seem that they're always sensing the emotional currents that run between people, as well as those connecting us to the great beyond.

The Pisces Sun leads with a compassionate heart, which can be both a blessing and a curse. Many are remarkably wise and self-sacrificing when it comes to helping the vulnerable or those down on their luck. But this noble trait can take them down a path of being used and abused before they learn to set strong boundaries.

This is the sign of the mystic poet, and a creative pursuit gives Pisces the motivation to be disciplined. And bringing structure to the vast imagination and shades of emotion flowing within the Pisces nature is a great achievement. Through art, they can bring a bit of heaven down to Earth for the benefit of everyone.

It's important for Pisces Sun to find a sense of purpose to avoid just drifting. Their sensitivity makes them also a tad more vulnerable to escapism through addictions or personal dramas. Finding a sense of worth, self-definition and purpose seem to be some of their life lessons.

In romance, they fare well with a guiding hand-type that understands the liquid-y Piscean nature. Life with a Pisces means having a bridge to unseen worlds of the heart and imagination, and how could this be anything but awe-some.

Staying healthy under the Pisces-heavy skies:

Pisces rules the immune and lymphatic systems, our boundary-supporting sentries that protect us from microbes and infections."

We’re in a dreamy time. Not only is the Sun in imaginative Pisces, but so is Venus, Jupiter and Uranus. All this Piscean energy may help us connect with a deep sense of emotion and devotion, but its uncontainment and blurring-of-the-edges may also inspire a sense of disoriention, as if we’re floating on the clouds, or walking on water.

Like the symbol for Pisces—two Fish swimming in opposite directions—there are dual routes of wellness suggestions that can be important during this time.

The first is to pursue those things that will help you connect in with higher levels of Piscean inspiration. During this season, meditation, prayer, and guided imagery can be especially great tools to galvanize a sense of personal alignment as well as physical and emotional healing. Listening to music, reading or writing poetry, or snapping some photographs are artistic activities that can help us to foster our deep well of heart-centered connection and compassion. If you are looking for an essential oil to help you tune into Piscean energy, try sandalwood, as it is beneficial when one has a desire to tune into their inherent intuitive and psychic insights.

As we set off to swim in the serene and empathy-catalyzing Piscean energy seas, it’s also important to maintain a sense of groundedness so as to not get too spacey, or float away. Root vegetables such as beets, burdock, turnips, and rutabaga are especially good for helping us sink down into our own personal roots. In medical astrology, Pisces rules the immune and lymphatic systems, our boundary-supporting sentries that protect us from microbes and infections. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and other whole foods are replete with immune-enhancing nutrients while supplements like zinc, astragalus, and vitamin C may be benefit if you feel the need for some extra immune boosting.

A great way to stay grounded is to focus on your feet, a part of the body also ruled by Pisces. Pedicures, reflexology sessions, and even lymph-boosting gentle walks are great wellness activities during this time. And if the spirit moves you, stand barefoot on the earth and do a visualization exercise where you stream the land’s energy through your soles and throughout your body. These activities will help you to ground the streaming love and inspiration that the Piscean energies can usher in.
