Sun in Pisces, Moon in Virgo

Deep sensitivity and a skeptical mind, a wish to dissolve in your feelings and a reserved way of showing them: these seemingly opposite traits live side by side in you. You are naturally flexible and adaptable, and you adjust easily to people and circumstances. You usually have several goals at once and move from one person to another and from one task to the next, since staying in one place is hard for you. You are quite practical and focused on the concrete results of your work. Yet from time to time you want to forget everything and slip into a world of dreams that carries you away from daily worries. Standing out from the crowd does not attract you, and you feel much more at ease in the background, where you can quietly throw yourself into work or into daydreams.

You are kind, sensitive and generous, and you help others with practical action as well as with compassion and empathy. Your analytical skills are strong, and you use them, among other things, to help people solve life's puzzles and take care of their health. The theme of service and sacrifice runs clearly through your life. At times you may show your fragile side to gain support and protection, or to steer others toward what you want, and asking openly for what you need can work even better. You love privacy and like to keep a gentle mist around your activities, so others are left wondering about your plans. Your decisions come either on a wave of emotion or from intuitive feelings that rise in some mysterious way from deep inside. The way you carry them out, by contrast, is very rational: methodical, careful, skillful and even a little clever.

You love to rest near water, and the more water there is, the better. Its presence soothes and steadies you.

Your holidays should have a touch of mystery and romance, in a place sheltered from curious eyes.

You relax through everyday tasks, working without pause, and the best rest for you is simply a change of activity. Doing nothing does not feel like rest to you at all, it only makes you tense. You pay close attention to detail and take great care that your home is spotless. Your love of order runs deep, and it can help to remember that your family may not need everything to be quite as perfect as you do. Although strong emotions often move inside you, you prefer not to show them, choosing a dry, restrained way of expressing what you feel.

What you consciously choose and what you long for inside can feel at odds. You can be so flexible that you bend too easily to others, and steady energy and self-confidence are worth cultivating. Trusting your own judgment a little more can help.

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 intellectual, flexible and practical. In a woman's chart, the combination brings a changeable nature, an analytical mind and a talent for thrift, and she is drawn to a partner who is artistic, romantic, compassionate, elusive and gentle.

The classic view

You have a keen sense of humor, laughing readily, which may not give an accurate impression of your fundamentally serious nature.
