The last two signs of the zodiac
Sitting side by side at the end of the zodiac, these signs often get described as old and wise, and you may well feel that you’ve been around longer than your age suggests. Aquarius isn’t a water sign, despite the name. It’s the last of the air signs, and it likes to think in clear, complete systems. Pisces, the last of the water signs, doesn’t believe in edges at all.
So your mind stands back and your heart dissolves. You care about people in the mass, and you also feel the one person in front of you. You might take up a cause, an art or a spiritual practice with equal seriousness, and see no reason they shouldn’t be the same thing.
Close, then gone
You’re gentle and accepting in love, and you’re rarely shocked. You can make someone feel entirely understood without much being said. You also tend to disappear. Sometimes it’s your Aquarius side going off to think, and sometimes it’s your Pisces side going off to float, and neither one remembered to text.
Boundaries may be vague. You can take on a partner’s mood and then need to go away to recover from it, and they may read that as losing interest. You can also idealize a person in the abstract, and be taken aback by their actual habits and bad moods.
An anchor or two
Regular sleep, regular food and a walk outside do a lot for a person who drifts this much. These aren’t medical instructions, just things people with lots of air and water tend to neglect. Tell a partner, “I’m going under for a while, and I’ll be back by Sunday.” That small sentence does a great deal. Then be back by Sunday.
