All Pisceans experience both upstream and downstream paths during their life, and this direction changes to one way or the other, according to whether we are single or partnered.
Love is experienced within an illusion for Pisceans, the idea of love .... it's all within a dream, how we envision love to be. So, naturally, there's no possible way that any living person could measure up to be this ideal person, who is perfect in every way.
The Fish meets someone, starts to have a relationship with this person, and suddenly, they become dis-illusioned >>>> reality hits. This person isn't what was envisioned (naturally).
Pisces people love, and love and love .. completely/totally, inside of this bubble .. and it's easier than anything else in this world for us to do. But, then we have to apply this love to REAL people, and we can't because it isn't possible.
Pisces swim downstream in a relationship with a live person. Pisces swim upstream in a relationship within the illusion inside the bubble.
The best, most loving, and wonderful Fish in the world .. are the ones who are single, and so experience unconditional love on a continual basis within the fantasy.
People try to date Pisces, and to do this, makes us swim downstream. You people aren't what is envisioned, and in this dream is how love is suppose to be, and it's not ... so now we aren't content, we aren't happy, we start swimming downstream, which means we become contentious.
To keep all Pisces loving and compassionate human beings who are swimming upstream = remaining single, alone >>> not bound to a person living in the flesh.
Hope that clarified to you what downstream/upstream means to Pisceans.
Isn't this also the part where Pisces tends to display more of their darker emotions and habits, and start turning from Dr.Jekyll to a Mr.Hyde? Also can't this be considered since most Pisceans are downstream most of the time anyway to be the reason why we try to nearly suicide ourselves in the mass amounts of pleasures and vices that's almost like a salmon jumping to the bears mouth on purpose? ...sorry if I'm not making a whole lot of sense.
That's not fair, I have too much love to give. All I want is a lover, i would think it'd make us happier and that all is okay? Is that the only thing that makes us swim downstream?
I kind of agree with P. The Pisces I know are happier when they are single-me included. You have to understand that we feel, and feel, very deeply. There is nothing worse than a fish in a bad situation. My male fish friend is newly single his exact words "I feel 10 years younger and I feel like I can conquer the world" But on the flip side, we can swim upstream within the "right" union but choosing the right person will only come once a fish has lived and learned and spent time being single.
Im pretty sure there can be a downstream any sign..... its almost annoying seeing hardcore opinions about the horrid "downstream pisces"
everyone has there ups and downs. i personally feel like a well mannered, respectful, responsible, caring, optimistic person but i do have an abundance of low qualities, do those make me a downstream pisces? i think everyone has a little good and a little bad in them. cant we just leave it at that?
Thank you, Starfish. It's pretty much what I had in mind. I can say I've been the downstream fish, where I was at an all time low, pretty much in a hole. Depressed, wallowed in self pity, and really doing nothing about it. In the past year though, I have this optimistic view that I never really knew I had in me. I think what really helped was music and art, staying spiritual and connecting to people. To find bueaty in all things, and see good in people. I know those are my strengths, is seeing bueaty in everything including myself. Having dreams and believing in those dreams. I don't rely on anything material now, and have the free spirit that I always knew I had in me. Ah, it's such a breathe of fresh air. I also agree about the love thing, it seems when I start a realationship, all the negative pisce descriptions seem to show up. Thanks for your answers.
