Sun in Pisces, Moon in Capricorn

You are sensitive, compassionate and serious, and you are used to keeping your deep emotions under control. You understand people very well, you have the makings of an excellent psychologist, and you know how to put this gift to practical use. You work very hard and can hardly imagine life without work. You feel most at ease where activities are well coordinated and clearly organized. Standing out does not appeal to you, and you prefer to blend in with the people around you. Staying in the background suits you, because it lets you work productively. You are responsible and dependable, and others can count on you. You respect professionalism and work steadily to achieve it in your own field. Deep down, though, you want your work and your worth to be recognized, and quiet, solid achievement matters to you more than you may show.

When you lead, you do it quietly, sensing what needs to be said and done at each moment. When plans are at stake, though, you can become quite firm and demanding, and a little flexibility can make others even more willing to follow you. You love to plan everything that can be planned. You like to follow clear instructions, and if there are none, you write them yourself, set the deadlines and then stick to them with enthusiasm, without giving an inch. You seek wisdom and inner light, as well as harmony and understanding with others.

You make your decisions on a wave of emotion and intuitive feeling, and you usually keep them to yourself. Sometimes even you cannot explain how solutions rise from deep inside, in a mysterious way, to problems your sharp logical mind had tried to solve in vain. The way you carry out your decisions is methodical, persevering, patient and remarkably determined.

You rest best surrounded by tenderness and romance, with a touch of mystery in the air. Being near water is also important for a good rest, and plenty of it around you calms you and settles your mind. Surprising as it may seem, you also relax in a working atmosphere and while planning a strategy for the future. For all your kindness toward people, at home you can take on the role of a strict commander, handing out tasks to your loved ones and checking that they are done, and leaving them a bit more room can make home feel lighter for everyone. Food and sleep do not get much of your attention, and when you are busy you may skip a meal without much regret, though your body will thank you for a little more care.

Your conscious mind and your inner needs work together in harmony. More energy and a lighter touch are worth seeking, and allowing yourself some play alongside work can help.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a wish to dissolve in his feelings, a tendency to blame himself too much, tenderness, sensitivity and a gentle character. He is often drawn to a partner who is serious, responsible, reliable and focused on a career. In a woman's chart, adapting to others may take real effort and a certain reserve and stiffness can show in her manner, and she is drawn to a partner who is compassionate, a little elusive, artistic and gentle, someone who sees the world through feeling more than logic.

The classic view

Emotionally you are a most satisfactory person, both sensitive and reserved and not generally demanding much from those you love except fair treatment and a judicious amount of affection.
