Astro-logy
Reading a certain book today, I came across some interesting lines about my character. If you're into astrology, here's a little passage that I think says a lot about myself. I usually take my horoscope with a grain of salt, but I can appreciate what this has to say:
-----
PISCES
"When he is talking to you for the first time, he is drunk. It might be on beer or it could be on something nonalcoholic. He could be intoxicated on the music, the room's general vibe, the wad of cash in his pocket or your gorgeous eyes. Whenever Pisces is in an outgoing mood, he is intoxicated on something. But even when he is outgoing, a part of him is held back--you can see him thinking things he does not say. It is as if he were partly somewhere else, hearing a secret symphony that you cannot tune into. That is because he is.
What you are saying and doing with each other is the least important part of what is happening. There is a subtext, an unspoken exchange under the surface that most people are only semi-aware of. This subtext is Pisces' main focus; it is the secret soundtrack of his life.
Each Pisces has his own brand of weirdness, which makes him tolerant of the strangeness of others. There is no need to pretend that you are anyone different than who you are. This does not mean meeting Mr. Fish is a comfortable experience. His sudden silences and nonsequiturs are frustrating to the more literal-minded. His in-ability to talk about his own desires and goals will make it almost impossible to figure out just what he expects from you--until you shut up and clue into the telephatic messages Pisces is sending out.
(And here are the really good ones...)
For most of us, the way we think, plan and act is formed by the language we use to communicate. Pisces thinks in pictures rather than words, so his thoughts, plans, and actions are formed by pictures--the fantasy and memory images he carries in his heart. Early in life, Pisces learned that his world is for him alone--when he tries to share it with others, they either mock him or are baffled.
To win his love, words will not do, since he knows that words lie. You need to demonstrate in your behavior the same acceptance and tolerance he shows you. You need to enter his world with an attitude of respect rather than one of criticism. Pisces feels much more than he expresses, so it will be hard to know just where you stand with him at any given moment. Be aware that he always knows how you feel. Your desire for him and the vulnerability it brings will draw him to you.
Mr. Fish absorbs the characteristics of the people around him into himself. Pisces does not think of this as losing his personality but rather as expanding it. For him, identity is infinitely variable and ever changing. He would not want to remain the same man all his life any more than he would want to wear the same underwear. Instead, Pisces would like to have a drawer full of identities that he can pull out and assume whenever he wants.
Because he is so easygoing you may think that Pisces has no mind of his own. Wrong. Pisces always has an opinion about everything. His seeming detachment is just a natural reserve about expressing his own thoughts.

Just one of those introspective moments of mine that I enjoyed. Please excuse the narcissism that saturates this note. It's all in good fun.
