Top 5 Things Not to Say to a Pisces (or Pisces Rising Sign)

1. Here, take the crown. It’s your turn to rule.

Hey? Do you want to scare the beejeebers out of your Pisces? Push them to the front of the line. I do not think. Pisces are rare creatures who love to serve (more than Capricorns!) But you can’t force your Pisces to do anything. No. If you want them to take care of something, ask them to HELP YOU. Then give them the outline, the task at hand. Once they feel secure in their position, wow! Watch them go…swim little fish swim!

2. You should be more direct.
Give me a break. First of all, it is a direct criticism. They hate personal attacks. Be more receptive to their feelings and WHY they are not direct in the first place!

Secondly… Have you ever seen a fish swim up to the glass and hit it to get your attention? No. Pisces will infer, indicate, use innuendo, sometimes to the point of passive aggressiveness… ooh, they’re just afraid of the head-on approach, that’s all (and sometimes you wish they’d swim away from Martyrs Anonymous!)

But unless your Pisces is a mix of Gemini and Scorpio, there is no such thing as direct. There are hints and hints and many say, “Sure, whatever.” They would never hurt you. BUT they equate directness with potential harm.

However, if your Pisces starts attracting a lot of bullies, it’s an indication that they need to set boundaries! Help them by showing them that it is okay to say NO. It doesn’t just mean ‘no thanks’. It doesn’t mean, ‘I sentence you to death.’ (must be something from a past life). Then take them to an acting class where they can figure it out as someone else.

3. Wait! Stay…wait!…
Fagot. They left. How do they do that? Whenever they say, “I’ll call you back,” keep in mind… they operate on a different galactic calendar and clock… where right is left and back is front and time twists into an eternity and the two will never meet.

Your Pisces is fragile and needs a lot of downtime. The weird thing is, Pisces fills that downtime with more things to do, so the endless ‘TO DO’ list short-circuits your time and your internal clock. Oh, they can be on time… that’s not the problem. They are responsible, fast and reliable. (as long as they’re not addicted to Dancing with the Stars or Prison Break).

Pisces gets distracted from the word ‘deadline’. They imagine hooks and not bait. Pisces likes to transform a lot. Leave them. Give them space. You will never discover them anyway. Just tell them you need them and they will appear. Your dad! Hears! Where did they come from? How the hell do they do that?

4. Tell me the TRUTH!
I am sorry. You just can’t yell that at a Pisces. Firstly, they don’t like to yell, and secondly, it implies that they are liars. But wait…there is that breed of fish that are addicted to being cynical, emotionally held back, and their only form of communication is conspiracy theories and shouting or the silent treatment. Those are the childish Pisces of the world. God love them and help them feel safe. But as for your typical “super friendly, with a million friends on their Piscean schedule”…just don’t yell at them. Simply make an observation about their behavior. Let them know you see them!

They have the blame thing and feel completely responsible for the ills of the world. (Yeah, like it’s his fault for inventing reincarnation and Karma or something.) Pisces already knows that the truth will set them free. They just keep swimming past their negative inner voices that tell them there is no freedom.

Pisces is devout, pious, and metaphysical. They love to hear HOW someone came out of the dark and into the Light. They think that particular truth might be theirs, so they will test it for a while and see. Ideal Vision is the most precious resource for a Pisces. They must have the ideal in front of them as a model. But again, they will put themselves down because they have fallen short of the ideal. (Hence the business of transformation). Which can seem crazy when all you want to know is… its truth!

5. I dare you.
Here we go again. Trying to get Pisces to do something in the most direct way will result in their demise for sure. (Do you see the movie Jumpers? Yes, like this). The world seems so hard for Pisces. They need his distractions.

Sometimes that excess painting or photography or those glasses of wine or those foreign cigarette packs or being the award-winning member of Netflix become the crutch to live with so many different realities on this Earth. It’s a lot, you know! Back off.

Never dare your Pisces. But hug them and love them and help them feel safe in THEIR world first, and yours second. Eventually, they build a bridge to the outside, and though that bridge may be invisible to others, it helps Pisces find a way out of the madness that is human chaos.

Encourage your art and beauty and vision. Pisces is a great illusionist, artist, actor, scientist and politician. They look for the hows, the whys and the tricks: to unravel the mystery or to be the mystery! That’s Pisces.
Michelangelo was an angry Pisces in his vision because he absorbed the intensity of life. Albert Einstein was also in Pisces. He couldn’t keep a marriage to save his life, but he gave us a view of the world we never knew existed. Shri Baba Meher was in Pisces. Devout, holy, bringing illusion to reality.

Have you noticed that this whole Top 5 report seemed to stray from the titles, it’s an amorphous homage to Pisces? Thanks mom and dad! If ever there were two Pisces so alike and so opposite… two fish swimming together in opposite directions. Pisces… the last act of magic.
