How to Rise Above Negativity According to Astrology
Astrology suggests embracing your inner balance and practicing emotional detachment to rise above workplace negativity. Focus on your personal growth and maintain a positive attitude. Developing qualities associated with your zodiac sign can help you handle challenging energies more effectively and promote spiritual evolution.

I would say yes, as it's felt for the person wanting to live, as it feels to them .... and no, as this wanting to live as they feel, can sometimes be a delusion, or an insanity.
For example: What if a person wanting to be let to live as they choose, is a paedophile?
People cannot always be left to live, at least, not as crazy as some of us people are. If we were all sane, had sound judgement .. the I would agree with that statement.
"There are a couple of people there who take pride in the negativity that they spread. I should say that is "subtly" directed at me."
Yeah, I know all about how easy it is to manipulate a situation 😢
You had it right when you said to need to figure out how to rise above it, and not let it bother you. Whatever it is that these people are doing or saying, assuming it's about you or to you ... so long as you know that you are doing your job and not hurting anybody in the process, then your right course is not to lower yourself to their level.
You know, they WANT a reaction out of you ..... that's why they do it, whatever "it" is. And if you react to it, then they will get satisfaction that they got to you.
The problem is .. Pisces are sensitive people, and though it's easy to ignore, it's not easy to not feel it.

Something that has helped me over the years, and it took FOREVER to get to this point .... is an awareness that maybe not everything is directed towards me, just because I think it is. And sometimes, I still lapse, and believe words/actions people do is some kind of slight against me .... when in reality, it's not.
This is a huge problem with Pisces people that we suffer because we feel so much in life that sometimes we can't help feeling like people are out to hurt us FOR this very sensitivity.
Like .. you will feel, and people around us can sense this because we are emotionally expressive in our face/eyes .. so when something happens and it's clearly visible to people around us that this episode caused an emotion in us, and these people around us do NOT feel it deep inside, and will laugh or mock ...... we think they are laughing at us for being so sensitive, and they aren't. We think they are, but, what they are laughing at is the sensitivity in itself over something insignicant, and not a person feelings.
That's hard to get past, Mcclure ... because it cuts to the core.
We cannot help it that we feel everything.

"How do you get above the negativity of the less enlightened?"
Don't know ... haven't yet.
For me, it's like this ... because I can percieve the energy that people project, and able to read the emotion behind the impulse that motivated the action/words of another person (thank you bijou, if you're listening) .... then when I relate to people, I am doing so according to the intentions of the person, as this energy is being projected.
Unfortunately, few, if any, people are really aware of what they are projecting ... for most people are only aware of what lies on the surface to react to. Behind EVERYthing people say or do, is an emotion that drives them to this point .....
.... unfortunately, most people think it's someone else who drives them to this point, and that is an inaccurate conclusion.
Evidence of this can be proven in hindsight .... your boyfriend, child, co-worker can do a deed today, and do the exact same deed tomorrow ... and your reaction to it will be dependent upon your current mood. You might flip out in a rage, you might cry, you might be indifferent, you might be totally approving of it .. yet, it's the exact same deed.
So, what drives a person to do or say ANYthing, comes from an intention dictating by the individuals current emotion. So, to me, a person who is enlightened, is a person who is self-aware of this.
All of it, everything we do in this world .... belongs soley to US.
How we respond, is us.
How we feel, is us.
How we act, is us.
And NOT driven by the other person, at all.
So, loop this back to the quote above .... I would appear to people in here as being a negative person because I would point this very thing out to people. I would point out that they themselves have caused their own fuck-ups in life by how they don't percieve themselves as having any accountibility, and would attempt to put fault on the other person, as if this other person did something to them that was painful.
When in reality, it's not a negative, even if it's perceived as being one to them ... because ultimately, how they feel about anything, and situation, IS based exclusively around how their personal emotion is.

Example .. let's say a woman is upset because her man goes out on a Saturday night with his mates, and her feelings are hurt because of this ...... yet, last Saturday night he also went out with his mates and she wasn't upset at all because she had plans to be with her friends at the mall.
Now, here she is trashing him because he is neglecting her, and people would come in here and tell her how much of an ass this man is for neglecting her .... when in reality, he has done nothing of the sort.
Last Saturday night he did the exact same thing, and she approved of it because HER mood, HER emotion was different. His actions this Saturday and last Saturday were exactly the same.
So, I would point this out to a person, and to other people, this pointing out would be viewed as a negative, when in reality, it's a positive ...... because it is in place to bring self-awareness to the other person to enlighten them to the fact that they themselves have caused thier own grief in this situation because they would believe that another was responsibile for driving these painful feelings to inflict upon them when this isn't the truth ....
.. we drive our own feelings.
So, when you say how do you enlighten people .. I've no clue. Maybe it's not possible. Maybe only Pisces people can be aware of our true reality.

Don't know ... haven't yet.
------------------
So, to me ... a person who projects this energy of fault in another for hurting them, out onto the Grid .... is the negative because they would project this negative energy, inferring that it belongs to someone else, and not them .... when in reality, it was the person projecting this out because of their own personal feelings at the time, and not dependent upon what the other person actually did.
People will say, I'm just venting .... yeah, venting this onto the energy grid for all the other people to pick up.
For them, this venting would seem like a positive because they are releasing it, and so people would support them in finding fault in the other person for hurting them and encourage this purging of negative energy, and call it a positive thing.
When it wasn't a positive at all, for it enables this person to continue releasing this negative energy onto the grid for the rest of us to pick up, without securing any awareness for themselves, that they are the ones who drove these negative feelings in the first place, for this very projection.
If a person comes in here, furious about what someone else did to them .... then it's this fury that is projected that is the negative, and not what this other person did to them ... because their fury was driven by their own feelings.
So, they have these feelings for themselves and cannot live with them because they are too overwhelming ... so they come in here, and probably to people in their real life .... and bombard these other people with all this dark energy, and say it's because of someone else.
Can't fathom that ^^^^^ ... how does this belong to someone else?
But, people believe that because they aren't enlightened ... and will support a person who does this, and believe it to be a positive thing. When in my reality of enlightenment .. the positive is where people are aware that to have power over this energy, to drive it, means it's all inclusive within theirselves, and not dependent upon what another person does or says. So, to me, the negative belongs to the people who not only do it, also support it.
If people took upon themselves to realize this ... then all negative energy would cease to exist, because then they would no longer have something outside of themselves to put it on. Instead of purging it out onto the energy grid .. they would evolve.

well it's not really obvious from this statement that you have the live and let live attitude as you're wanting others to have YOUR attitude 😕

lol, tooche
** draws sword **
Along the same lines of Unconditional Love.
If a person attempts to bind another person to them by means of Unconditional Love, then in reality, they placed this condition on the other to provide this very Unconditional Love to them.

Or the expression ... Treat others as you would want them to treat you.
Isn't that in fact, treating other people according to your own standards, and not according to the other person's standards?
The proper treatment of another is in accordance with the other person's value, standards, desires ... and to treat other people according to your own = selfishness, because you will only treat another as to how you want for yourself.
lol, life is straight up irony, in itself, as it has been so programmed.

Well, I understand what you meant by it, Mcclure ... where the emotion was coming from for you to say this.
There's been very few people I've encountered who actually possessed this ... one of them my late mother, and she would have this attitude and expect no changes in another person to comply with it.
Bless .. she was an angel, indeed.
If another was mean as a rattlesnake, or heavingly divine, or anywhere in between .. she would let them be, just as they are, and present no bitterness that they were being themselves, and love each just the same for their very differences of being.
It would likely be an accurate statement to say ..
.. the apple fell very far from the tree.

I'm trying to think of a Pisces who was actually this way ... and I can't think of any. I know many Aqua's who are though, a few Virgo's, and several Capricorns.
But, Pisces are probably the complete opposite of letting others be, because we have an inherent characteristic implanted in us to seek out people who we think need mending (from our own desire to do so, and not being asked for assistance), and act on it.

Nevertheless .... I comprehend the energy of the emotion behind your impulse to say that.
I would assume that you let your co-workers be to do their job, and would like to have the same respect back ... and this would be your motivation to say this.

oh I know many Aquas who give off that vibe but something gives it away...including my own papa...
- they only will be friends or associate with those that they approve of but let everyone be if they do not associate with them or deem them worthy or something along those lines.
- the thoughts and actions are always different - some of the most judgemental people by their ideal standards are Aquas but only if they want you to know.
Bottomline, I don't know anyone from any sign that can let anyone be...
- air and fire signs are more self-involved or involved in their ideals...they will promote this.
- Earth and Water are more into keeping the acceptable society structure and mending but still in their own way...they will promote this
ps: I think pisces are ass-kickers when they're truly comfortable in their skin 😛

"well it's not really obvious from this statement that you have the live and let live attitude as you're wanting others to have YOUR attitude "
Ok I see to be slightly misunderstood here.....I really do have a live and let live attitude. I am not a person who tries to make others feel badly for choices they have made with their lives. As long as a person is true to themselves and who they are, without hurting others in the process, the way they choose to live is fine by me. No one HAS to subscribe to the same theory as me. I was just waxing philosophically on how nice the world would be if people's petty insecurities didn't cause them to come down on people.
"What live and let live attitude??
McClure, you obviously don't possess that attitude, or you wouldn't be in here so upset over OTHER peoples negativity."
People's negativity makes me sad. Can't help it. I am an emotional sponge. I have always been a sensitive person. And I don't think "live and let live" applies to letting people treat you in a negative way to make themselves feel better.
"Those statements are such typical Pisces statements.
"All I can say is, having a holier than thou attitude, is not evolving."
As far as being holier than though......I am not. I just feel as though we are on this planet to grow and change and become enlightened by our interactions with other people. I feel like sometimes Pisces are misunderstood as "holier than though" because we are on a different journey in life than a lot of other people. Just because I want to evolve as a person and grow above petty jealousy and insecurities; both in myself and others, does not mean I think I am any better than anyone else. No one is better than anyone. We all just different perspectives. 🙂
P-Angel----as always your posts help me to no end. Thank you for your kind words. And it sounds like you were lucky to be blessed with such an angel as a mother. 🙂

Well then .. I pray that I NEVER become truly comfortable in my skin.
You really see that? Or is this a joke?
(you have to point out jokes to me because I usually don't get those)

you can't go above it - it is part of your humanity...
you can choose how to handle it - objectively or subjectively but we all feel the same basic insecurities - it's the expression and processing that makes us different, say in terms of signs i think.

a little back round info---while on my quest for photography greatness---I wait tables. I do this 6 days a week. It stinks but it pays (some of) the bills. I work with about 8 other waitresses all in my age range. Sometimes there are events when everyone will get together for one reason or another, and I rarely make it to them. Its not that I dislike anyone, its just I have a lot of friends outside of work who I would prefer to see on my off time. Obviously this puts me out of the circle a little, but I don't mind. I truly do like all of the people I work with.
The story in a nutshell---and its so silly---
I broke up with my Aries in August. It was just time to part ways. Unfortunately a girl I work with dates his brother, so I was always careful when discussing my new man with the people I work with. But then things between the new man and I got pretty serious pretty quickly and I wanted to share my happiness with my work friends. She was the last one I told, and I knew she had an idea already, but I was trying to keep her from being in the middle of a weird situation. I explained this to her and she very curtly told me she had known for a long time, (that kinda bothered me b/c i told people that in confidence). But then was seemingly fine.
Here's where it gets tricky---so follow me on this kooky ride
I believe that the girl in question's sister (she works there as well) has began to date (or is trying to) my former Aries, which I truly don't mind. I can't stress enough how I want him to be as happy as I am right now. He is a great man, who treated me like a queen and her deserves a lady as amazing as he is. But when I work with these girls, whenever I walk into a conversation it stops and they look nervous.....again I understand they may not want to share this with me. However, as of late, Sister number one questions every move I make at work ( which is annoying, when you have been slinging hash as long as I have!) and is just very contrary to everything I say in general.....even the most mundane butter 🙂 And honestly, this sounds stupid, but they both just give me stink face at everything I say....you know the look.....kind of like whatever I said was proceeded by a fart....(sorry to be crude...but that's the look, man) Well since I know I have my gases under control, I have to believe that for whatever reason....my breaking up with my ex caused some kind of unnecessary rift betwee

So i worked tonite---status quo
Kept my head down, worked hard, helped everyone out whenever they needed it. Then as I'm cleaning up before I leave, I stumble into a pow wow of chicks that gets quiet. I just chuckle to myself and keep cleaning, cuz what can I do? They were ticked b/c I had a better night in tips than they did and was the first to leave. I NEVER give anybody any butter about making more money than me......such is the restaurant life. I worked really hard for my money tonight, and it stinks they didn't make as much, but that happens to everyone once in a while. The good news is, I really didn't care.....but that might be due to the fact that I waited on a party of 20 and am exhausted 😛
and zeal....you are so right on the money about how its how we deal with these things in life.
Seriously thank you to everyone for letting me vent and responding in a way that touches my head and my heart.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

The good news is, I really didn't care.....but that might be due to the fact that I waited on a party of 20 and am exhausted 😛
and zeal....you are so right on the money about how its how we deal with these things in life.
Seriously thank you to everyone for letting me vent and responding in a way that touches my head and my heart.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
ahahahah antibling! its starting to feel like it 🙂
Backfire.........If I did it I'd have to wait there tables too! 🙂
I work in a place like that McClure. However like my Virgo boss tells me, I stay to myself and just do my work. I block out the negativity and concentrate on my work.
"ps: I think pisces are ass-kickers when they're truly comfortable in their skin"
Tsk, I started it with ass-kisser and made comment, I thought it said that.
Ass-kiCKers when comfortable in own skin ... hell, yeah we are.
*** thanks for point that out, Hizaki
McClure ... jealousy. You once were the squeeze of her new man and she's jealous as hell. I really don't understand that emotion very well and clearly see how by her attempting to make sides/lines because of this jealousy, is uncomfortable for you.

"PP isn't this your new gig.."

Hizaki,
I think its easy for Pisces to be manipulative because of their natural ability to read people and emotions. Like with your sarcastic comments, you probably know exactly what to say in order to get your desired outcome from a person. I too use sarcasm when necessary. However; I feel that in this situation I do not want to be perceived in a negative manner. I would like all involved parties to see how I treat them, and then think to themselves...."Wow, why am I being such d-bag?" I mean, up until the dissolution of my relationship....these people were kinda my friends....at least I thought.
P-Angel,
I'll never understand the girl. Its silly to be "jealous" of me. And to me its also silly to be boastful and smug to a girl who has already had your man. It sounds crappy, but if I wanted him to he would still be my boyfriend. The whole reason she is able to date him, is because I no longer wanted to. Sorry if that sounds bitchy, but its true.

Your right Hizaki. I keep my d-baggery in check. There are times were I think to myself....."EVERYONE is such a jerk today......oh wait.....everyone is probably not....its probably just me. Can't be bothered with the butter anymore. Thank you 🙂
"There are times were I think to myself....."EVERYONE is such a jerk today......oh wait.....everyone is probably not....its probably just me."
lol, I do that too 🙂
Here's something to think about with this jealousy thing ...
You and Aries broke up on good terms, and therefore still hold respect for each other. Aries people are quite honest about how they feel about a person, and if they hold someone in high regard, then they'll have no qualms in voicing this, even to a partner.
So, here is this girls bf (your Aries-ex), who thinks highly of you, and has probably told his girlfriend this ... for your problems didn't start until after this girl was in the process of hooking up with your ex.
Because you are a Pisces, you have the ability to hold dearly the experience of people who has shared your life without having envious feelings well up when these people find joy in other people. In fact, you would be happy if they found happiness again. But, most other people aren't that strong and confident, Mcclure .... and have such deep insecurities that they would feel at competition because of envy to make this man like her MORE, she has to make him be happy with her MORE ... because jealousy has been created by this envy that stemmed from the insecurity that she isn't as good as you, because he is talking about you fondly, as a good and respectful person.
So, when you say you haven't done anything, as far as treatment of her to treat you this way ... it's really probably him who has spoken about you to his woman, and this is what has caused the grief. And since this woman is now in competition with you on a personal level, if she is vindictive, then it would seem plausible that she would pitt other workers against you, and taunt you about your tips and work performance.
lol, I do that too 🙂

Hizaki---Wow! My mom and sister are Geminis as well! And my dad is a Sag. Quite a loud house to grow up in for this Pisces 🙂 I too have that biting tongue, but I try to keep it in check. Although growing up, I would drive my sister bonkers 🙂
P-Angel---I think your take on the situation may be totally right on. Its hard for me to ever think people could be jealous of me, because, who am I? I'm no better than anyone. And I hate competition. I should qualify that. I hate petty personal competition. Its sad because I know this girl on a personal level, and I know she does have some pretty heavy thoughts at times. I would always feel the need to take her under my wing and protect her. Its silly of me I'm sure.
But when I find out someone was injuring themselves to release their pain(a while back I think, but she's still young), it breaks my heart. Because I know this, I would never even try to upset her. I just keep in mind that everyone has different reasons for the way they treat others. I'm sure its just a defense mechanism of some kind. "Like a hurt others before they hurt me".....kind of thing.
Ahhh. Well its not my dream job, that's for sure. But I think all this high school drama will light the fire under my little Pisces procrastinating butt! Does anybody want to hire an amazing photographer? 🙂

I hear you Hizaki,
I am my own worst critic. Sometimes people will single out a photo of mine that they really love. And all I can think is "Why do you even like that one? It's terrible!" Because deep down I know I could spend another 5 hours perfecting it. 😛

brilliant! I would always tell people that and A- is the ugliest grade ever. My fellow classmates and I would get our grades back and be like...."What did you get, 103?"....and I would be like "Well......I got all the extra credit so I got a 112." Then they would get pissed, and I would be like...."Hey guys, I'm a 28 yr old senior in college so I if I didn't do really well, that would be pretty sad."
As for photography I love to shoot still life, but with strange objects. Or landscapes that I alter with objects like mirrors, broken television sets, and old books. Stuff like that. I guess I'm kind of a surrealist photographer. I get the craziest looks from people because I will be waltzing onto the beach with a giant mirror, or setting up a place setting in the middle of the road. But I have since decided that to be a truly great artist you must look like you are insane. 🙂
What are you going to school for? And I hope you do much better than that "terrible" 93%
of last time. 😛 Good luck!

Dear Louis Leaky 🙂 ,
Just checked out your artist. Very haunting. He seems to be influenced by quite a few periods. I love the way he mixes surreal, renaissance, and byzantine art. You might really enjoy a photographer by the name of Joel-Peter Witkin. He was able to procure corpses through various donations to science and the arts and photograph them. A little too disturbing for my liking but I have friends who are absolutely enthralled with him. Technically speaking he is brilliant, content wise I'm on the fence.
Now lets talk structural engineering............uh........yeah I got nothing. That's a pretty crazy profession for a fish! Science and math, don't know if I could dedicate my life to it (said the photographer who is forever calculating some measurement, angle, or chemistry......) And a yearning for Archaeology ? Your dad was probably right. But I find bread and water to be quite delicious when prepared properly 🙂 But that's ok because its way easier to sell out as a photographer, than most arts. When I run out of bread and water, I'll start shooting weddings!

Hello dxpnet ... I have been reading these message boards on and off for 6 months now and I have to say I learnt a lot
I am really trying to be evolved on this one. I feel like I need to learn to be above this kind of energy as opposed to run away from it.....but its really hard.
I am also fighting that nasty little Piscean urge to manipulate. Because I think all the fish in here know that when we want to, we can completely finesse a situation in our favor, as well as delicately deflate big egos with a few well placed comments.
So I guess my questions are.....is anybody being forced into this spiritual evolution like me? How do you get above the negativity of the less enlightened? Its really bumming me out. 😢
Wouldn't the world be a beautiful place if every sign had the live and let live attitude that we do? 🙂
