Don't get me wrong, from what I've read I fit into Pisces. I bend over backwards even to the point of breaking to help others out, I'm introverted (a little to much, even though I have a 'want to be the center of attention' thing too that I'm trying to fight), no self motivation (but have lots if it will help someone else), confidence issues (though I'm getting better at it thanks to the military), etc. It's just there are a lot of contradictions as well. For one, I am not creative/artistic at all. It's so bad that I can't read a book unless there has been a movie about it or I can't picture the characters in my head. Also I am a horrible writer and can't sing/dance/draw etc. But I am really good at math and statistical problems. Another thing is I despise water...I actually like earth/forest/dirt etc. Is this normal?

Also my biggest problem of all is that I love helping people (it's my life motto 'Help others') but I'm so introverted and asocial that being around people for to long gets me angry and I snap at them. Pushing them away and making me feel horrible inside. I mean I can talk to people. Being in military I'm stuck with someone for 12+ hours at a time daily so talking is inevitable. But over time like a few months everything they do annoys me to the point were I lose my filter and make it obvious that I can't stand them for no apparent reason. It doesn't seem like a conscious decision either cause I want to know and talk with them but it's like my body rejects it.

This is kind of more of a rant I guess since I know my problems are way to deep to get a solution through a simple forum but for now it made me feel a bit better.

Thats nothing to worry about, its only your starsign. You have the sun sign (pisces) then you have your moon , rising sign and mh. I am pisces and am alot of what you described, introverted caring emotional can be shy etc but my rising sign is the other side of you. My sun is pisces and my rising is leo. So like you i like attention sometimes but then other times i hate attention and like to be a wall flower and very shy lol. Then other times i can be the complete opposite very chatty loud etc. i am definately two opposite people depending on my mood. I wouldnt worry about. Not being creative etc. what is your rising sign?

EVery pisces I know LOVES the ocean LOL but those are just minor details. Like @Jesspisces234 said, theres a lot more to astrology than just your sun sign. From what you said, it sounds like you do have the trademark Piscean charatibilty though ๐Ÿ™‚

Lol oh ye i didnt see that! I also hate water lol i like the look of it but im scared of it thats all lol

This! I'm the same. Pisces and Leo rising. Your sun sign is a portion of you. I feel serene around water, but I do get freaked out when I'm swimming. shrugs

Sorry for delay

When I first posted this I didn't know about the houses and planets. I did some more research it it's starting to make sense now.

My Rising is Gemini

Hello Fellow Piscean....YOU ARE PISCES! I work better alone. I guess I have to send you links that better describes a Piscean than what you have read. I, myself, too, did NOT do well in English. And I admirer writers. That's their purpose. I, myself, (unlike you) am NOT an introvert; I'm an extrovert. Your birth chart will tell if you are in fact, an introvert (we'll discuss that later). Back to my working alone better than with people. Yeah, they also get on my nerves. I am an Admin Assistant for the "Military" and behind me is a VERY loud woman that talks for six hours instead of working (and puts in 12 hours a week of overtime; but that's not my business). She cahoots with another woman that also works overtime to make up for chit chatting all day! They both are loud, laugh like hyenas, and I am the one that hears all of this! When they both go TDY it is total BLISS!!!! Just because you like the "earth" doesn't mean you're not Pisces. I almost drowned when I was 11 years old and I FINALLY learned how to swim last year....so that doesn't mean I'm not Piscean either.

I can draw, but "free hand". I cannot pick up a brush and paint you the Mona Lisa. We

I can draw, but "free hand". I cannot pick up a brush and paint you the Mona Lisa. We all have different skills that we learn along the way, OR are willing to learn. We kinda procrastinate and I've always wanted to learn how to read Tarot cards and/or read birth charts. I cannot seem to find a university at my home town to learn how to do the latter. We each have a purpose. And your purpose is to help others. Since I don't like sushi and cheesecake does that make me a non Piscean? No, it just means we all have different preferences and choices. That's what makes us "unique" as Pisceans. I used to read books when I was a kid (curl up w/a good book instead of playing). Now, I cannot finish a book! I try, but my mind is not interested in what I am reading. I do LOVE to stay home over the weekend watch old movies (TCM -- Turner Classic Movies). Even my mom asks my kiddo, "Why does your mom love to see old black and white movies?". You should see my DVD and VHS (yes, VHS) library full of movies!

You are active duty in the military, I myself, DO NOT LIKE TO BE yelled at, told what to do, have to have my patch so many inches from the lapel, etc. etc! Too many rules and regulations! To each his own! I always say.

Be unique and be proud of being a PISCEAN! ๐Ÿค— cyber hug!

Love,

Eva
