Pisces<br />

would take advantage of your gentle spirit. It’s also tempting to allow<br />

men to see in you whatever <strong>the</strong>y wish instead of establishing an identity<br />

which is more readily definable on your own terms. It is this challenge<br />

which tests your ability to embrace and fulfill your own needs.<br />

You really don’t have to save <strong>the</strong> world in order to be a success. But<br />

with your Sun in Pisces, you may at least try to save a part of it in some<br />

way. Your deeper goals may have a more spiritual basis, like achieving a<br />

sense of oneness with life. You may never feel satisfied with <strong>the</strong> everyday<br />

successes until you feel connected on <strong>the</strong> inner level. There is<br />

always plenty to do in <strong>the</strong> world, and sometimes you’ll feel wonderful<br />

when you’ve created something that makes a difference. But <strong>the</strong> real<br />

success occurs when your perspective changes and you see yourself and<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rs through <strong>the</strong> eyes of true forgiveness and compassion. (From<br />

Responding to <strong>the</strong> revival of interest in pre-twentieth-century <strong>astrology</strong>, J. Lee<br />

Lehman developed a report program embodying <strong>the</strong> interpretive approach of traditional<br />

<strong>astrology</strong>. The following is excerpted from her <strong>book</strong> Classical Astrology for Modern<br />

Living and her computer program “Classical Report”:<br />

You are morally idiosyncratic, trusting yourself over o<strong>the</strong>rs. You find it<br />

easy to withhold information or things because “it’s best for <strong>the</strong>m,” perhaps<br />

forgetting that primarily, it’s best for you. You can be quite vicious<br />

when angered, and you may stammer when you are stressed. You are<br />

libidinous, and addicted to gaming and feasting. Yet you are harmless<br />

to o<strong>the</strong>rs, injuring mainly yourself through your excess generosity and<br />

enthusiasm.<br />

Astrologically speaking <strong>the</strong> sign of Pisces is considered to be ruled by<br />

<strong>the</strong> planet Jupiter. One of <strong>the</strong> dangers of <strong>the</strong> Sun in <strong>the</strong> signs of Jupiter<br />

is Jupiter’s mythological interest in love affairs (especially when <strong>the</strong><br />

solar person is perceived as being in a position of power or authority.)<br />

In o<strong>the</strong>r words, you may treat power (real or imagined) as an invitation<br />

to act godlike, with all <strong>the</strong> trappings and advantages. Yet curiously, this<br />

doesn’t mean that you go out of your way to seek power. But have a<br />

care when it is thrust upon you.<br />

You are mutable, which means that you adapt easily to change. However,<br />

you adapt so easily compared to o<strong>the</strong>rs that <strong>the</strong>y may wonder if you<br />

are capable of maintaining a permanent stance about anything.<br />

You are a Water Sign, which means that you are “cold” and “wet.” The<br />

“wet” component means, among o<strong>the</strong>r things, that you blur distinctions,<br />

and that you are more swayed by passion than by intellectual<br />

argument. At your worst, you see too many connections, becoming lost<br />

in conspiracies. At your best, you spot <strong>the</strong> connection that everyone<br />

else missed. You are perceived as being “cold,” which in your case simply<br />

means you may not be quickly reacting on a surface level. In <strong>the</strong><br />
