PISCES - February 20th - March 20th

Life: 2006 invites you to develop your talent in exhilarating ways. Ever since winter of last year, you've been longing to expand your horizons. Getting an advanced degree, travelling abroad, or publishing a book are among the exciting possibilities. By the time November arrives, you will have amassed so much experience that you'll become a hot commodity on the job market. Finding your dream career is a distinct possibility. True, you may not have a lot of spare time this year, but that's because you'll be focusing all of your energy on creating a lifestyle that is physically, spiritually, and emotionally rewarding. A Full Moon Eclipse on September 7th allows you to make a tremendous personal breakthrough.

Love: Relationships and the emotional areas of your life need close attention in April and September. Your desire for independence could prompt you to push a partner away, just when you need their support the most. Just remember that while you may have to sacrifice some freedom for the sake of your amour, you'll be getting so much more in return. Your sex appeal will sizzle throughout the year, making you a hot property on the singles market. If you're already in a relationship, people will still flirt shamelessly with you. Keep the focus on your partner, as their stabilising influence will prove more precious than gold.

Loot: Your best earning prospects come in late March, when you'll be able to command a hefty price for your services. Ask for a raise or apply for a high-paying job in the first days of spring. A New Moon Eclipse on March 29th could find you making more money than you ever dreamed possible, provided you're brave enough to demand it. Overseas ventures could be very profitable for you, especially during the first eleven months of the year. You could also win a lawsuit sometime between January and November, which will put some much-needed cash in your hands.

Luck: Fortune comes when you venture out of your comfort zone this year. Taking a trip abroad could have fabulous results. You may even decide to live overseas, sensing that your prospects will be much better in a foreign country. Going back to school is another possibility for you, one that could open the door to an exciting career. If you've ever wanted to write a book or publish a piece of writing, 2006 is the year to do so. You could attract a wide and appreciative audience for some work that is close to your heart.


The Fishes: Traditional Pisces Traits: Imaginative and sensitive, Compassionate and kind, Selfless and unworldly, Intuitive and sympathetic...On the dark side....Escapist and idealistic, Secretive and vague, Weak-willed and easily led

Pisceans possess a gentle, patient, malleable nature. They have many generous qualities and are friendly, good natured, kind and compassionate, sensitive to the feelings of those around them, and respond with the utmost sympathy and tact to any suffering they encounter. They are deservedly popular with all kinds of people, partly because their easygoing, affectionate, submissive natures offer no threat or challenge to stronger and more exuberant characters. They accept the people around them and the circumstances in which they find themselves rather than trying to adapt them to suit themselves, and they patiently wait for problems to sort themselves out rather than take the initiative in solving them. They are more readily concerned with the problems of others than with their own.

Their natures tend to be too otherworldly for the practical purposes of living in this world as it is. They sometimes exist emotionally rather than rationally, instinctively more than intellectually (depending on how they are aspected). They long to be recognized as greatly creative. They also dislike disciple and confinement. The nine-to-five life is not for them. Any rebellion they make against convention is personal, however, as they often times do not have the energy or motivation to battle against the Establishment.

Pisceans tend to withdraw into a dream world where their qualities can bring mental satisfaction and sometimes, fame and financial reward for they are extremely gifted artistically. They are also versatile and intuitive, have quick understanding, observe and listen well, and are receptive to new ideas and atmospheres. All these factors can combine to produce remarkable creativity in literature, music and art. They may count among their gifts mediumistic qualities which can give them a feeling that their best work comes from outside themselves, "Whispered beyond the misted curtains, screening this world from that." Even when they cannot express themselves creatively they have a greater than average instinct for, and love of, beauty in art and nature, a catlike appreciation of luxury and pleasure, and a yearning for new sensations and travel to remote, exotic places.

They are never egotistical in their personal relationships and give more than they ask from their friends. They are sexually delicate, in the extreme almost asexual, and most Pisceans would want a relationship in which the partner's mind and spirit rather than the body resonated with their own. Unfortunately they can be easily misled by a lover who courts them delicately and in marriage makes them unhappy by a coarser sexuality than they expected. They are nevertheless intensely loyal and home-loving and will remain faithful.

In their employment they are better working either by themselves or in subordinate positions. Their talents are individual in a commercial business or similar undertaking. They would be afraid to manage more than a small department, worrying always that they would fail in a crisis. They can make fair secretaries and bookkeepers.

Their sympathy equips them for work in charities catering for the needy, as nurses looking after the sick and as veterinary surgeons caring for animals. As librarians or astronomers they can satisfy their mental wanderlust, and their fondness for "faraway places with strange-sounding names" may turn them into sailors or travellers. Many architects and lawyers are Pisceans, and when the creative abilities are combined with gifts of imitation and the ability to enter into the feelings of others, Pisceans find their fulfillment on the stage. Their psychic and spiritual qualities can lead them into careers in the church or as mediums and mystics. They may find an outlet for their creativity as caterers, and are said to make good detectives because they can imagine themselves in the place of criminals and understand how their minds would work. In technical occupations they are well employed in dealing with anaesthetics, fluids, gases and plastics. Because of their lively versatility and inability to concentrate overmuch on any one project, Pisceans often simultaneously follow more than one occupation.
