Your Pisces Ascendant

Your Pisces Ascendant indicates that you're an individual with a flexible personality, that is, you can easily hide your own traits and take on the characteristics of others. In spite of your pleasant disposition and willingness to adapt to changing circumstance and the demands of other people, you can be surprisingly strong and determined, but your strength of character is also determined by other important factors in your background.

You have a highly emotional nature and are apt to a have quiet, shy personality. Your compassion can be overwhelming, as is your propensity to become a victim of your own vulnerability. Almost before you realize it, or in some cases because you actually seek it, you can become your own worst enemy. You are not above using subterfuge and game-playing rather than direct confrontation to get what you want. If however, you develop self-confidence, these less-than-honest emotional ploys are not apt to surface in your personality or behavior patterns.

Pisces is ruled by Neptune, planet of illusion and imagination, an indication that you are apt to have little understanding of how you appear to others. The influence of Neptune can also add an element of glamor or mystery to your appearance. You can for example, either photograph extremely well or your likeness on film may be extremely poor. In either case, photographs fail to capture your true appearance. Pisces is also ruled by this sign's ancient ruler Jupiter, planet of inspiration and drama. Neptune and Jupiter blend together producing the likelihood that you are highly imaginative and view life the way you want it to be, rather than the way it really is. You are prone to feelings of abandonment and to feeling sorry for yourself, and are easily disillusioned.

Extremely sensitive, you are apt to have artistic talent as well as psychic abilities. You may have a spiritual or philosophical bent, and great appreciation for education, even if your own has been limited. You love traveling, dancing, and sports. Though it is by no means universal with Pisces Rising, you are apt to be less-than-average in physical stature with a tendency to retain fluids. Your addictive nature can make you extremely vulnerable to becoming a victim of habit-forming substances. Sensitivity to medicine and anesthesia, and problems with your feet and lymph glands are physical complaints you are most apt to experience.
