Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) are represented by two fish who are, depending on your interpretation, either chasing each other or swimming in opposite directions. This symbolizes their divided attention between reality and fantasy. Pisces is also the last sign in the zodiac, therefore absorbing from all other signs that come before it. This is what makes you fishie-loves the most psychic, sensitive, and compassionate creatures in the astrological circuit. Ruled by Neptune, the celestial body of creativity and dreams, Pisces have limitless imaginations but may also wander into escapism and illusion. Like a thick fog on the sea, obscuring water from horizon, Neptunian energy is magical, mysterious, but also sometimes scary. The good news is that you are in excellent company – fellow Pisceans include:
- Physicist-who-needs-no-introduction Albert Einstein
- Best-James-Bond-ever Daniel Craig (Yes I went there. But also thank you Sean Connery for your service.)
- Lupita Nyong’o (Black Panther’s badass Nakia), who not only has won Academy, SAG, and Critic’s Choice awards, but also speaks four freakin’ languages!
Let’s get you aquatic sweeties set up with some stones that can help you ground and balance yourself, and amplify your finest water sign qualities!
- Wild, witchy, and deeply soulful – as an emotional dreamer, you are highly attuned to others’ energy and can be impressionable or even easily influenced. Swimming in deep emotional waters, you may tend to get lost or stuck there sometimes. Incorporating practices that nurture balance and harmony into your life is therefore of utmost importance. If this resonates, consider fluorite, turquoise, or black tourmaline paired with clear quartz to balance you out.
- Ruled by Neptune, Pisceans may be susceptible to mirage… manifesting as delusional thinking, running away from problems, or wearing rose-colored glasses a tad too long. To protect yourself from bad influences, consider grounding and protective stones such as black tourmaline, onyx or obsidian. Stones that support confidence can also bring you the courage needed to face a reality that may sometimes be unsavory or overwhelming – tiger’s eye, citrine, and amber all support self-confidence.
- As a mutable water sign, Pisceans have unparalleled access to the collective unconscious, and make exceptional creatives. Brimming with dreamy romantic energy and deeply connected to the world around you, try choosing stones that harness and amplify your intuition and support the third eye chakra. Amethyst for spiritual growth, aquamarine for clarity, and moonstone for intuition and inner peace are all wonderful.
- Kind and gentle, you are energized by shared and felt experiences of art, music and romance. Relationships with the mystical Pisces will absolutely involve deep spiritual exploration. Therefore, stones that connect to this romantic and loving side may be just what you need – try rose quartz, peridot, or pink tourmaline.
