Pisces Needs The Ocean

The majority of astrological authors describe Pisces as a sensitive, sympathetic and understanding creature, but with the proclivity to dream and fantasize too much. In which case, they are not the most grounded and long to escape the domestic side of life.

Perhaps it depends on what is meant by the term "domesticated", nobody can fully domesticate Pisces, and it would be a strange and sad sight to see Pisces completely locked up in physical reality. A Pisces needs to explore the world through their imagination and dive into the ocean of life moving unrestricted through their feelings, dreams and longings.

In Pisces, the imagination knows no bounds, and they frequently venture off somewhere else. The duality of the fishes represents the natural inclination to be there in body and the longing of the soul to drift elsewhere in search of replenishment and a fresh source of water to feed an insatiable thirst and hunger for another reality.


If in a relationship with a Pisces woman, treat her with the sensitivity, loyalty and appreciation she deserves. If the Pisces woman suffers from a broken heart, feels unhappy at home, and disrespected, she will be lost forever. The oceanic world of her emotions is a powerful source and should always be respected. A fish deeply hurt by life goes into deeper and deeper waters and never returns entirely. When the world out-there gets too hard for such sensitive skin the only place she has to go, and where she feels safe - is into her soul.

A Pisces woman needs creative outlets and some creative form of expression for the inner oceanic world which she holds inside. Astrologers believe Pisces matures into the wisest of souls over time, but they also say that many a Piscean lives her early life like a naive child. Pisces is considered the ultimate feminine sign, and the mode of action is mutable and she is also ruled by the element of water.

Neptune rules the zodiacal sign of Pisces and is the planet of illusion, where all is not what it seems, and the Piscean knows how to connect on a different plane and so you will never really understand everything there is to know about them. Pisces is a non-verbal sign, unfathomable and it may look like she has zoned out and isn’t paying attention, but she often comes back with something profoundly insightful that hits right at the source of your dilemma. It is in these moments that you feel that there is someone out there who really understands and knows how it feels.

Pisces also knows the secret of “letting go” and she has the capacity to see that there is something larger out there, a great big ocean, and it’s something universal which lies beyond what our eyes can see, and at some point we will all return there once again. Pisces has a knowing or an intuitive understanding that there is a deeper reality behind the struggles of human existence.

Astrologers point out that Pisces has difficulty dealing with reality, but if you have ever watched any film about the elusive mermaid, a part of her will always belong to the ocean. As much as she loves her friends on land, there is a fragment of her soul that longs to return to the water. The ocean may represent a multitude of things that she needs to explore so that she can refresh herself. It could symbolize art, music, creative passions, imaginative outlets or some kind of service. Pisces and 12th house people are thought to channel their artistic vision and intuitive gifts from a hidden realm.

In the worst case scenario she may find more negative escapist sources such as drugs and alcohol and general over-indulgence. In the saddest of realities she is a fractured and fragile picture of a human being and far less that what she is capable of. Weighted by sadness and despair, she goes with the flow, even if it’s in the wrong direction. Feeling the pain of the world leads to avoidance and because she is so physically sensitive and has compassion for all creatures, this poor soul gets “bluer” than the ocean.

Depression and feeling totally disconnected to a world she may feel has lost all humanity, she is in most danger of being driven to addiction, “nebulousness” deception and self-deception, and generally losing her way, wandering around aimlessly and prone to being unstable. Pisces the wishes she could simply wash away reality by ignoring it, and trying to forget about the pain. The water then becomes limitless and she floats down to the darkness at the bottom of the sea where shapes both monstrous and beautiful swim through the waters, and she is sucked into a whirlpool of oblivion. Hopefully she pulls her self together in time and see there is something worth saving.

Many astrologers believe she embodies all 12 signs of the zodiac. If this is true, it is no wonder she is so easily split and fragmented by life. There seems to be no human dilemma that she does not recognize or cannot empathize with, and she sees every shade of emotion. It’s easy for others to try and manipulate her empathetic nature, and she may need to constantly defend herself against exploitation.
