Yeah.. yea... my intellect too had that half-raised-eyebrow look about it, but facts are facts.
Ok, to start with, I'm a piscean, and the symbol , the twin fish swimming in the opposite directions, symbolise my entire life. The symbol represents the choice I've always had. Success was always upstream and delusion was always an easier option, waiting to engulf the ones who took the easier way out and travelled downstream. Uptill recently, I didn't even accept that I was under a lot of delusions... my intellect was too profound to accept that. It's only now, after I've rediscovered life that's above and beyond rationality and emotions, that I see the truth. And the delusions.
The other thing is, I've never been blessed with bountiful energy . Just about had enough to make it through. Now I know that physical energy is never sufficient to carry you upstream if your mind isn't guiding it.
a) If your mind's is busy soaking up the serenity of calm waters, or the sublime expressions of man's thought processes, the arts, the sciences, the wonders in the smallest of things, or the insignificance of the seemingly great......... then you're not deluding yourself for just that instant. But you keep trying to reach that happy moment again and again, consciously, then you're deluding yourself if you think you'll be happy with just that. Because such wonderful moments happen often during childhood, but as responsibilities increase, the mind that seeks to please itself even in adulthood, must make sure it's not at the risk of being irresponsible in the real world.
b) On the other hand, if the mind's soaking up the misery ( it'll be stupid to deny it's existance in the real world ) then the body can't do much if the mind's spending precious energy feeling utterly miserable at what's happening around it. If my feet are firmly on the ground right now, I have to thank my family for this. They introduced me to the fact that there's nothing you can't move on from. But they can't fight my zodiac battles for me. When I get overwhelmed, ( sheer beauty, sheer misery, anything), I have to find my feet on the ground. Before I get swept off my feet by such brewing cyclones. Not that other zodiac signs are not sensitive to their surroundings. But not as deeply as a piscean, and certainly are not the types to give it the amount of importance that pisceans do. What's a thundering hailstorm in my head, is a small ripple in the pool for the steady taurean, or the earthy capricorn. This I say out of experience. The bull and the goat have their foot steady on the ground. My battles are mere trifle to those.
But yes, we all have our mountains to climb, and of all the signs in the zodiac, it is the fish alone that gasps without water. All others can manage without water with no trouble at all. At least no visible trouble. Even the other water signs are amphibian. I wouldnt be typing in all this if I hadn't realised them one by one.
It is this line between reality and the unreal that I've never been able to draw, and going by what descriptions of my sunsign say, it's unlikely that I'll be able to. Pisceans, the twin fish, live between two worlds. While for most others who live in two worlds, one world is that of truth, the other world is that of false illusory reflections, for the piscean, the worlds are that of happiness and sorrow. For them, truth , reality, false impressions and illusions have evenly distributed themselves among these two worlds. Whatever it may be, ( truth, illusion, bare naked truth, multilayered illusion... anything..) it's either beautiful and happy, or it's really sad.
Sounds like factual interpretation and Logic have no place in a piscean's life huh? They do, but only in the brain. Which is mostly recessive compared to the heart, which is loud, strong and binary. Happy or sad. This is the reason why the pisceans soak up vibes around them like a sponge, and don't even realise this. And continue to get affected by this till their brain puts its foot down, isolates the weak link and heals it. Or till some flash of realization happens in its own time and space, and the piscean then either gets to see the whole truth (the thorns that surround the rose, or the rose that blooms in the thorns). This flash of realization happens in that one moment of connectivity, when I've gone too deep into my shell, to either escape the intense beauty or the immeasurable sorrow.
There's this one thing I read, on some astrology.com or whatever.. that recently corroborated all this intuitive realization.
You'll Be a Pisces Too
By the end of February, Mercury, Uranus, Venus and the Sun will all be residing in dreamy Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. Pisces represents the end of a cycle and inspires the preparation for new beginnings (spring cleaning, anyone?). Ruler of the subconscious (and, therefore, dreams), it is also the most sensitive and spiritual sign. Pisces folk are much more aware of all that goes on around them -- soaking it up like a sponge -- and much of what they experience goes straight to their subconscious minds. Now, with four planets shining their spotlights on the sign, we'll all be feeling like a Pisces -- from preparing for fresh starts to becoming more attuned to our inner-selves.

True! Planets compel you towards a certain direction, but that urge to give in ( even if it's against our better judgement), is what we really fight. That said, thanks for stopping by loonie, and that's an interesting profile you got there!
