Pisces' Planets: ♆ Neptune, ♃ Jupiter.
The Pisces woman is the sort of woman men secretly dream about. So delicate, tender, innocent, and seemingly defenseless, she might have felt more at home in the nineteenth century. She seems to have stepped straight out of one of its novels. One look, and modern ideas about independence give way to a sudden understanding of all those Tolstoy scenes with fluttering lashes and languid glances.
Pisces brings to life the old notion that a woman's vulnerability can be her greatest strength. And in her case, that strength is considerable.
What man could remain unmoved by such a charming, fragile creature, apparently in need of his care? His chest expands, his fists clench, and he seems to grow an inch taller. Her delicacy wakes every protective instinct left over from his prehistoric ancestors, instincts he thought had fallen asleep for good in the age of equality. For her, he'll hunt a mammoth, build a cave, uproot a tree. Then he looks around and discovers rather more knights gathered around this princess than dragons to fight.
Her charm does tend to attract a crowd of protectors, benefactors, and admirers. Each is convinced it's his strong shoulder she's about to lean on. Pisces accepts this as the natural order of things. She's hardly a deliberate flirt, though she knows perfectly well that her spell is what keeps them close.
Her mystery, quietness, helplessness, and extraordinary gaze—radiant one moment, unexpectedly stern the next—aren't a carefully rehearsed act. They're part of her nature, and their effect on men is powerful. She won't rush to pick up a dropped glove or get out of the car first. That leaves the man beside her room to show his best qualities: gallantry, intelligence, courage, good manners, and generosity of spirit.
How to Win a Pisces Woman's Heart
Men may lose their heads over her, but the Pisces woman keeps the secrets of her own heart closely guarded. Her eventual choice can surprise everyone. Looks, influence, a full bank account, and polished manners offer no guarantee that she'll marry you. Any number of unlikely, even mystical considerations may shape her decision. Her feelings for you have no more say than her intuition and premonitions.
In a Relationship with a Pisces Woman
Once married, the Pisces woman will happily let you take care of her. That was what you wanted, wasn't it? Where the money comes from and how you manage it interest her very little, as long as there's enough to live on and, preferably, she doesn't have to work.
Be prepared to make the household's important decisions yourself. She'll agree and gladly support you, but because she won't examine the situation in much depth, responsibility for the outcome rests with you.
Pisces isn't given to explosive emotion, yet her mood can change like April weather. One moment she's smiling; the next, sadness has taken its place and there's an unspoken reproach in her eyes.
Even so, you may surprise yourself by hurrying home from work to this tender, mysterious woman. An evening with friends can't compete with time alone together. Who else will listen with such rapt attention, her head resting on your shoulder? Who will share your triumphs and sorrows more completely?
The Pisces woman is like a beautiful flower. Winning her love isn't easy, but her charm, delicacy, innocence, and gentleness make every effort worthwhile. Even at sixty, the quiet grace of her movements and the light in her eyes will still work their magic. Best of all, beside her you'll always feel like a brave protector, ready to slay a dragon—even if today's dragon is the neighbor's puppy that barked at her.
The Pisces Mother
The Pisces woman is a loving mother, ready to give her child everything. Discipline is the one lesson she finds hard to teach: children generally know how to take advantage of her kindness and willingness to give in.
