People born in the sign of Pisces are a puzzle to everyone， as well as to themselves. The symbol of the sign， two fishes swimming in opposite directions， typifies the contradictions in the nature of the Piscean.
Neptune rules the sign， and creates in the natives a dreamy， responsive， impressionable， sensitive spirit， without any ability to cope with the realistic conditions of daily life. Neptune himself comes to us as a gay， cheerful， jovial， laughing personality， but in the legends of antiquity he is always the arch-deceiver and trickster.
Pisceans have all of these qualities. They are amiable， sweet-tempered people， very socially inclined， and exceedingly likable. But their character lacks direction to such an extent that they themselves do not really know what it is they want. Their sympathy is boundless. If illness is mentioned in their presence， they are a bundle of aches and pains. They know exactly how everyone feels， with more intensity than the person with the pain.
