Sun in Pisces, Moon in Aries

You hold qualities that seem hard to combine: deep sensitivity and a fiery, direct drive, the wish to dissolve in your feelings and a strong energy, a real gift for empathy and a strong focus on yourself. Your emotions run very deep, and when they rise, they can come out with great force. Your life energy flows like a misty, elusive stream that is hard to pin down. You like to keep people guessing and to leave few traces of what you are up to.

When you lead, you do it quietly, sensing what needs to be said and done at each moment. You are in no hurry to argue and prefer to reach agreement and understanding, but if you are hurt and pushed to defend yourself, you can stand your ground and answer with surprising strength. At times you are very active and on the move, and at other times you slip away into a world of your own dreams. Your natural flexibility lets you adapt easily to people and circumstances. You are kind and generous, ready to feel for anyone in need, and when you start to help and care, you do it your own way, without much concern for what others think about it. Even so, your first reactions can be quick, and you can take offense more easily than people expect, so a moment's pause before you answer helps you keep the peace you value.

You make your decisions on a wave of emotion and intuitive feeling, and you usually keep them to yourself. The way you carry them out is assertive and daring, often bluntly direct. You seek wisdom and inner light, and the paths you choose to reach them are often new and unusual.

You love to rest near water, and the more water there is, the better. It soothes you and brings you peace.

Surprising as it may seem, you also relax through physical activity and whenever you can act freely and on your own terms. Food and sleep get very little of your attention, because when there is so much to do, they seem like a dull way to spend time, and your body will thank you for a little more care. At home your restless, impulsive energy can build up and affect the atmosphere, so you often release it through home repairs, rearranging furniture or sport, and afterward you feel much more at ease.

What you set out to do and what you need inside do not always pull in the same direction, and making room for both helps you feel whole. Practical matters may ask a little more attention from you.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a gentle character, a longing for peace and quiet, a wish to dissolve in his feelings and a tendency to blame himself too much. He is often drawn to a partner who is, by contrast, very active, independent and spontaneous. In a woman's chart, the combination places a strong emphasis on passion, speed, dynamism and independence, and she is drawn to a partner who is artistic, romantic, gentle, compassionate and a little elusive.
