Pisces Rising

In Astrology, the planet that rules the Ascendant is the "chart ruler" and the lens through which all other aspects of the chart are focused and considered.   The Ascendant (aka Rising Sign) represents how we perceive our ideal self to be, as well as how we want to be perceived by others. It is both a mask we wear and the lens through which we perceive the world. Even if you have a poorly aspected, dark, and brooding Scorpio Moon, you may still perceive yourself as an optimist if your Rising Sign is Sagittarius (the eternal optimist).

People with Pisces rising tend to be sensitive, compassionate, empathic, weak-willed, long-suffering, day-dreamy, procrastinating, plastic, impressionable, impractical, indecisive, psychic, sentimental, romantic, idealistic, affectionate, easy-going, lazy, not concerned with the practical day-to-day affairs of life, absent-minded, and in search for the Holy Grail.

At times you are too absent from focused awareness of the present. You may dream through life rather than live it. There may be involvement in music or dance, or drugs. You may have a lonesomeness that nothing in the outer world can remedy. Being alone at times is an absolute necessity for you. On occasion, the vibrations of this earth plane may be difficult for your sensitive body and spirit to withstand. You are very sensitive to the conditions of your surroundings and can be like a psychic sponge, absorbing all that is around you, for good or ill.

You are very likable, but you need to learn how to be more practical and down-to-earth and concentrate your energies on the here and now. You must serve others in this life, but must learn not to be taken advantage of or fall for everyone's sob story.

Spiritual lesson to learn: Perseverance. Jupiter and Neptune both rule Pisces, so Jupiter and Neptune will be important in your chart.
