My friend's dad is a Pisces and something that I have noticed about him (and his daughter has said this about him as well) is that he could be very cold if you're not either family or if HE has his own bond with you of sorts. The topic came up when my friend (his daughter) & I were talking about how he never really put forth an effort in having a relationship with his former step-granddaughter (a Virgo and the child of his daughter's ex-husband). He is also cold towards his stepfather (a Taurus, who truth be told is apparently kind of a jack@ $ $ ), and could take or leave his stepbrothers, stepsisters, and the like. He's just always kept distant from them and his daughter has said that he was being honest and admitted that he's "lucky if he knows their names" and that he "knows very little about them".

He absolutely adores his own (biological) elementary school-aged granddaughter (a Virgo). He loves his daughter (a Libra) more than life itself and they are extraordinarily close. She is his only child and a lifelong tomboy, making him really proud, and she goes hunting and fishing with him. He loves his wife (a Libra) more than anything (and it was a big time case of hate turns to love!), and he is warm towards her family (which is tiny so that makes it a little easier) because he has his own bond with his wife and her family is an extension of her.

He's a retired cop and he considers his police buddies (several of whom are his daughter's friends and are mutual friends with him) to be family because of the "brotherhood in blue", so he is very warm towards them. Now here's where it gets interesting: he has a contentious relationship with his ex-wife (a Virgo), but he likes his ex-mother-in-law (a Libra) and his ex-sister-in-law (a Virgo) and is still warm towards them when he sees them. Again, this is because he has his own bond with them in a way...they all grew up together in the same neighborhood during his youth.

He is very selective about whom he likes and very exclusive about whom he talks to. In fact, he doesn't speak much at all unless he truly has something to say. He's extremely tough but also very quiet. He is really intuitive and can sense if someone's sincere and that's when he decides he likes them, and he can sense if they're not (in which case he decides he doesn't like them).

I find Pisces absolutely fascinating and I just love them! 🙂

We Pisceans are very, very doting with children in our bloodline. So doting, we give Cancer a run for their money.

Pisces also values professional courtesy. That means, knce we join a professionmlike police, fire, emt, military, etc, we appreciate others who show us the same fair and decent treatment we show tomothers. No one will get more appreciation from a pisces like someone wjo extends us some professional courtesy.

As for his contempt for tje ex wife and others, one can assume they all did somethimg very hurtful to him. Whether or not they have apologized and triedmto make a clear effort at being a positive part of his life is what you must uncover and tell us.

I am a pisces woman and you have just perfectly described me 🙂
I consider myself a very intuitive person, so far my intuition haves always been proven to be right, so I trust a lot in it.
Also yes, I am a very quiet person and I tend to be very shy and reserved around people I don't know well.
Also, what you say about your friend's dad is true about me, I have a very close group of friends and loved ones. And I know myself enough to know what type of people I like around me and what kind of people I don't. When I meet someone new I test the waters for a while, if I like the way they act, speak and behave, and if I see that their personality meets my expectations then I try to get close to them. But if I don't like the way they act, speak, behave and if their personalities don't give a good vibe, then I don't bother trying to know them and I avoid them and keep them as far from me as I can. I just have it very clear, I know what kind of people I want in my life and what kind of people i DON'T.

From what I have been told, his ex-wife (my friend's mom) alienated affection and wasn't very understanding about what he had to deal with working in one of the worst neighborhoods when he was a policeman. Typical of Virgo, she never understood when he wanted to be silent & have alone time and apparently she would keep trying to ask him 40,000 questions. Also keeping a spotless house with a picturesque lawn and garden, as well as maintaining the facade of a perfect family for others came before her then-husband's feelings. As a result, he had an affair and their already fragile marriage ended soon after. (Don't get me wrong I love Virgo and think it's a wonderful sign but those are two big faults about them, what the ex-wife was displaying). To my knowledge, she has never apologized and believes she is in the right and he was the bad guy. They don't like each other but they are to the point that they can be near each other at parties/gatherings for their daughter and granddaughter without arguing. They're lukewarm/semi-cordial at this point, mostly because my friend has insisted on it for the sake of her young daughter (their little granddaughter). As a matter of fact he once said to me (and left it at one sentence), "Two good things came out of that marriage: my daughter and my granddaughter." It breaks my heart because they were high school sweethearts and my friend says she could remember when they were young and MADLY in love during her childhood and early adolescence! Very sad. Not a chance of them getting back together. 😢 Oh well on the plus side they both have found great happiness with their second spouses.

Thanks sweetie, its very nice of you to say.

I am the same way as the Pisces you are describing, so anyone I like, is because I truly admire and appreciate, otherwise I wouldn't want to cross a word with them at all. I can sense when someone doesn't have good intentions towards me or my family and I cut them off immediately. It doesn't take long as soon as I notice.

The off & on switch activates without notice.

It's true! And it's always been my favorite sign!! : )

Not to toot my own horn, but my friend told me her dad likes me (she told me both her dad and her stepdad like me, which she said and I quote her is "really unusual because neither of them like too many people." Her stepfather's a Cancer by the way. Lol)!

I don't know what it is. I am vastly different from her father...I LOVE small talk and chit-chatting with people but not in a politician kind of way; honest to God it's just to try to make people's days a little brighter. He has teased me, a couple of times saying, "You're always in the middle of everything, Missy!!" But the way he said it was with good-natured amusement.

He said that when I told him that by coincidence there was a man who was conversing with me on the train last year who as it turns out is a policeman who used to work with him in the same department.....no joke! He said it again when a big group of us was at a bar a few weeks ago and I requested a 1960's song from the jukebox and several people assumed it was he who must have requested it because he's a baby boomer and meanwhile I did it. Lol!! I fessed up about it.

I'm not going to sit here and claim that I'm always 100% real all of the time with pure lily-white intentions, but I do try.

Family dynamics can be a bitch.

While the coldness you describe is quite Piscean (in my opinion) a lot of factors go into selectivity. If we knew the facts, we might nod our heads and say, "Yes, I can understand why he doesn't speak with them."


His stepfather is immensely wealthy, but has never helped him with his medical bills (in which he's up to his neck). The main reason for the medical expenses is he worked at Ground Zero for a long time after 9/11 helping with the rescue, recovery, & clean-up. All that dust got into his lungs and as a result he has some bad respiratory problems. His daughter REALLY hates her stepgrandfather for that...he's a multimillionaire yet hasn't paid a penny towards her dad's hefty med bills! It's like -- and she said -- "That's the thanks he gets for protecting and serving all those years?!" And she's right. Her dad is one of the heroes of 9/11, and they all worked together to protect the freedom and the safety of everyone after that horrific act.....everybody including that idiot!! Also he has a bit of a perverted side and he used to make these semi-sleazy comments to his stepgranddaughter (my friend), which her dad certainly did not like or appreciate.

Oh and this is interesting: he really doesn't have any friends of his own! He & his wife (a Libra) spend A LOT of time together just the two of them. By her own admission she has the typical Libra trait of being very social and by nature liking to hang out with many people, but she is so in love with her husband that she doesn't care about that anymore and let all that go out the window: spending time only with him makes her the happiest girl in the world.

He hangs out with his daughter a lot (they go to quite a few of those police benefit fundraiser events together). Hunting and fishing together a lot has always been their thing. They travel together to a couple of places in the country that are their "second and third homes" (it's not just the two of them; they travel as a family with his wife and his little granddaughter as well). To an extent he "rides the coattails" of his daughter's friends, having somewhat befriended them as well...every once in a blue moon he'll go to the local bars and hang with them. (They're all part of that general law enforcement/other services personnel group as well that's why). He has one true friend of his own, who is his childhood BEST friend in the world. They don't necessarily hang out a lot or anything like that at all, but they keep in touch on a regular basis; they're each invited to the other's family events, and the one is always there for the other (if that makes sense).

You just described a Pisces man I know. Especially the part about not having many friends except for the one from childhood. He claims he doesn't need anybody else.

This Pisces seems to know many people and you would think he is "close" friends with them but it's just an act to look good or better yet, to network and get to a better place work-wise or whatever else they have going on.
