When my daughter's birthday rolled around (months ago), my wife looked up her 2015 horoscope and shared it. I asked her to check Pisces for me. I forget exactly what she read about Pisces, but it was more of a description and less of a prediction--and it was one awesome thing after another. It gave me a good laugh.
Descriptions of Pisces are always awesome. I know the descriptions are positive (mostly) for all of the signs, but to me it appears Pisces gets the most favorable treatment. And I think I know why.
Are all Pisces awesome people??? As much as I want to say yes (and I know some who are), the answer is no. Like any other group, we're made up of all sorts of characters--good, bad and ugly.
EDIT: I had to change this post after writing it. My theory was going to be that Pisces are always described positively because the first person to write descriptions of the various signs was, himself, Pisces. He would of course want to make his own sign the best. That would explain so much. And once the die was cast, all others would follow. But when I actually did 5 minutes of research before clicking "Publish", I discovered Pisces is one of the oldest signs on record AND that we're currently in the Age of Pisces (despite claims made in that song). The Age of Pisces started in year 1 and runs through 2150.
This is my time!!!
PS - What's your sign??? :D
I'm a Gemini. best sign possible. that said, Pisces aren't bad either. a bit too emotional for my taste ;)))
ReplyDeleteI think I get along very well with Gemini. When they decide to go their own way for a while I'm happy to let them. And when we meet later it will be as if no time has passed. About emotions, if I get emotional it means I'm physically exhausted. Keep me rested (and well fed) and all is well. :D
DeleteI'm a Sag but have no idea what that means... maybe you could look up my sign for me?
ReplyDeleteKind heart (of the selfless variety), independent, loyal, encouraging, optimistic, attractive, welcomes adventure, honest, smart.
DeleteThat's you, now I'll look up Sagittarius...hmmm, says something here about not feeding them after midnight. :)
I think I looked this up once and found we're either supposed to be amazing friends or mortal enemies. I don't take astrology seriously, but it is fun--except when I read things like "Pisces men are physically and emotionally weak". WTHeck!?!?
I was supposed to be born in late April...maybe I'm part Taurus.
I didn't know the part about Pisces having the most positive write ups. One of my bestie is a Pisces and I get along well with her. I'm a Gemini and I love it coz I have really very opposing traits and that's a great excuse to use for my split personality. =)
ReplyDeleteLook out for a mail over your way!
Thinking Pisces gets the best write-ups may just be MY astrology bias. Pisces and Gemini clearly get along very well. ☺️
DeleteI'm a scorpio! But I don't really believe in astrology.. only because I used to work with a woman (who was a writer), that told me she used to write horoscopes for some local paper back in the day.. and she confessed she sort of just made it up!! That kind of ruined it for me... but it's definitely fun to read sometimes.
ReplyDeletexo, Yi-chia
I'm with you, I don't take it seriously either. And it is fun! I think I read mine, or ask my wife to check it for me, just twice a year--around New Year's and again near my birthday. Then I'm done for the year. :)
DeleteWow, I need to look this up! Age of Pisces?! I used to read my horoscope daily, but now, ehhh hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Leo, BTW.
That old song claiming it was "the dawning of the age of Aquarius" really jumped the gun. The Age of Pisces coincided with the birth of Jesus--the two-fish symbol is for both.
DeleteMy mom was a Leo too, that's a good sign!!!
Glad it's your year...and your year for many years to come ;). I'm Sagittarius and don't really follow/believe in horoscopes.
ReplyDeleteI'm always happy to see a sign that things will go well--it supports my general attitude that things will work out. But I don't believe in horoscopes either. I think of them twice a year at most--around New year's and my birthday. It's usually fun.
DeleteRooth is Sagittarius too and asked me to look up their description: Kind heart (of the selfless variety), independent, loyal, encouraging, optimistic, attractive, welcomes adventure, honest, smart. Not bad!
