Have you ever researched your sign and thought, “I am nothing like my sign. This is ridiculous”? Astrology is a complex system filled with different layers, just like personalities, emotions and people. In astrology, there’s a reason for everything and knowing your birth chart might provide some answers you’ve been looking for.
Understanding your birth chart:
To gain full knowledge of your sign, you must create your birth chart. The website Café Astrology or app Co-Star Astrology are reliable examples to get your chart for free. To get started, plug in the day you were born, your exact time of birth (check your birth certificate if you aren’t certain) and the city and state in which you were born.
Once you have your chart, it will show your ascendant, sun and moon signs.
The ascendant is determined by your exact time of birth. This sign will most likely tell you traits that are most superficial and easily noticed by others.
The sun sign is your home sign. For example, if someone says, “I am a Pisces,” he or she is stating that Pisces is that individual’s sun sign. It informs us of the traits that are truest for our particular sign.
Determined by your place of birth, the moon sign divulges the most personal information about your emotions. The moon sign changes each day and reflects how things affect and impact you daily.
A tale of the two fish:
For those born between Feb. 19 and March 20, your sun sign is Pisces.
According to Café Astrology, “The symbol for Pisces is the fish. There are two fish that comprise Pisces’ symbol, and they’re swimming in opposite directions, symbolizing the duality of the sign as well as its depth.”
The element of Pisces is water. Signs associated with this element are known for being highly connected to their emotions and the emotions of others.
According to the website Astrology-Zodiac-Signs, “This is the element of conception and death, of illusions and fairytales, holding the secret to our soul — it’s the beginning and its end.”
Pisces personality traits:
According to the website Explore Astrology, “Pisces are very sensitive and have the ability to read others well. When they have a hunch, you may want to go with it, as they are very intuitive, perhaps even psychic. They have a natural gift of prophecy and are many times involved in the occult and spiritualism. This may have to do with the fact that they are ruled by Neptune, the planet of mystery.”
Words that commonly describe a Pisces’ strengths are artistic, intuitive, sympathetic, compassionate, emotional and idealistic.
Pisces’ weaknesses can be: overly trusting, impractical, lazy, cynical and gullible.
Family and friends:
Friends and social life will be particularly important to Pisces right now. This year will be ideal for new experiences and team building, with old and new acquaintances that share your ideals and goals. Allow friends and family to introduce you to new ideas that could improve your communication with others.
Love and relationships:
Café Astrology says, “Relationships begun now are lighthearted, playful, intellectual, perhaps not very durable or deep. Enhancing love now: Opening the lines of communication, taking short trips with each other, getting out and about, sending emails and otherwise making contact, taking a lighthearted and playful approach to love.”
Single Pisces should take every opportunity to get out and mingle. Now is the perfect time to start something new and take chances. There’s no better time to expand your social circle and make new acquaintances, even if it ends up strictly platonic.
