Want to Seduce an Pisces?

Want to Seduce a Pisces?
By Brigid Bishop

Oooooh! Who wouldn’t want to seduce one of these sensitive, psychic and caring people?

With these lovable creatures, whether they are a male or female by gender, you can take the lead in romance and they will surely appreciate your efforts!

Pisces Men and Women need to be aware of how you feel about them, and reminded often. Little notes or messages telling them how you care for them will be tenderly appreciated.
Pisces people need love, they sink into depression without it, and when hurt by love it can be more devastating for them than for any other sign, so if you are just looking to “play around” please leave the tender fishes alone!

Pisces Women tend to be attracted to men that they feel that they can heal in some way. If you have a wound, visible or not, physical, psychological or emotional, the Pisces Female will nurse you back to health in a loving way that fulfills her need to give to you.

Pisces Men tend to like to rescue women. This can be problematic for them in today’s world, as few modern women need rescuing, but, if you are into a Pisces Male, let your feminine side show, let him help you. You don’t have to feign helplessness, but gracefully accept his assistance, if you don’t, he may wander off to someone who will appreciate his help.

More than any other lover of the Zodiac, the Pisces lover will sacrifice for you. They want you to have all of your heart’s desires and will forego the necessities they themselves require in order to give it to you. This does not come without a price. You must love them, unconditionally, and show it to them frequently.

The Pisces lover would never intentionally hurt you and will be shocked and extremely upset when someone they love hurts them.

When the Pisces Male is hurt, he turns off for life. It is extremely infrequent that they will allow you back into their world once you have struck a blow against their hearts, so if you want it to last, try your best to consider his feelings when you are making choices.

When the Pisces Female is hurt, she, more than any other sign in the Zodiac will forgive, but she will not forget. She may let you back in, just once, but she will be ever vigilant to ensure that you do not hurt her again. It is best if you don’t hurt her in the first place if you wish to keep her in your life.

This sign is the most romantic, the most shy and the most sensitive sign of the Zodiac. They are all a bit psychic too, so they can tune into you empathically more easily than other partners you may have had. Oh, and due to their heightened sensitivities to your feelings, both sexes of this sign will lie to save your feelings. They are of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” mindset when it comes to painful truths and will fabricate elaborate stories in order to spare you pain.

Today's Moon, February 20, 2008

Today's Moon

Today’s Moon goes “Void of Course” at 2:53 p.m. EST and remains Void of Course until 7:06 p.m. EST this evening when it enters the Astrological Sign of Virgo.


While The Moon is Void of Course it is best not to try to take on any tasks that are new or out of the ordinary as you may find it more difficult to launch or complete them. These hours will be best used for quiet, solitary activities rather than activities that may require group efforts, etc. Expect delays, hesitations and false starts during these hours.


When The Moon moves into Virgo this evening, Virgos will more easily and readily get their way and Pisces should just lay low and allow the world to wash over them until The Moon moves forward into Libra on the 23rd.


When The Moon is in Virgo, it is a good time for house cleaning, organizing your office, cleaning up your computer files or doing your taxes! Unless you ARE a Virgo, not a good time to apply for a loan or try to fight that speeding ticket. Authority figures are critical at best, so best not to push the envelope if you must meet with them during this period. Try to avoid discussions with your partner concerning issues you may have unless you are a Virgo yourself, it can lead to arguing on very fine points.

How Speeding Things Up Can Slow Things Down

How Speeding Things Up Can Slow Things Down

I have written extensive blogs on relationships and the dynamics that are common throughout them, and, quite frankly, have taken a bit of a break on my writings. So unless you are clicking specifically on Brigid Bishop’s Blog and reading through it, you may not have had a chance to read them if you are relatively new to Keen, or if you just check the main blog page and scroll down through that day’s posts.
So, again, as in my blog, “I Want It All, and I Want It Now!”, I’d like to discuss how a woman taking action to “speed up” their relationships actually slows things down in the big picture.
There are days when I am inundated with calls from clients who are in a relationship situation where they are “on a break” with the man that they care for.

This is not uncommon.

Frequently, relationships need to have periods where there is a clean break in order for the male in question to experience life without you in order to truly appreciate life WITH you.

In order to prevent copyright infringement, this blog has been condensed to an excerpt as it currently appears in Brigid's book "The Dating Game, Insights Into Affairs of The Heart" releasing in April 2010 and available at Amazon and fine book sellers everywhere. Ask for it by name!

Brigid Bishop's Tarot Thought for the Day

Brigid Bishop's Tarot Thought for the Day

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008, brings us under the influence of the Five of Cups.
This is a card that brings the energies of whether or not we are the type of person who sees the cup as half empty or half full.

The one word definition of this card boils down to "Disappointment".

A lone figure, shoulders bent, faces away from two cups that are still standing, containing the liquids of happiness and love, and focuses on three cups which have spilled and are laying on their sides. His body language is depressive, head bowed, shoulders bent, a sense of sadness comes off of the card as we view it.

The melancholy vibration of this card can indicate mourning over a loss or change within a relationship. This card indicates that the Querent may be dwelling on the negative and refusing to see the positive polar influence of each loss and change.

Remind ourselves that each change in our life brings an opportunity for growth and that we should try to focus on what yet remains, (the two standing cups), and not what we have lost.
The positive tone of this card is the ability to contemplate what one still has and move forward optimistically. All the figure in the card need do is turn around to see this.

Making The Moon Work For You

Making the Moon Work for You
by Brigid Bishop

The Moon, as it orbits our earth, moves through the zodiac much more quickly than any other significant celestial body.

The Moon is one of the most potent astrological forces that we experience, and as it cycles through the signs on a regular schedule of approximately 2.5 days, we can use its’ energy to enhance our daily lives in many matters, including, but not limited to:

Signing contracts, beginning projects, attending job interviews, applying for loans, changing residence, approaching authority figures, travelling, shopping, and putting an end to something, convincing others to come around to your way of thinking.

How do we do this?

It’s rather simple.

Look at your sun sign and watch the movements of The Moon for when it will next be residing in the same sign as your sun. When The Moon is in your sign, you can expect things to work out to your favor regardless of how difficult you may find the situation to be.

When The Moon is in your sun sign, these are your “best” days of the month, and these are the days when things will go more strongly in your favor than at any other time during the month.
At the opposite end of the scale, we have you “worst” or “lowest” days each month as well.
These occur during the 2.5 days that The Moon visits your polar opposite sign. For example, when you are an Aquarius, your lowest days of the month occur when The Moon is in Leo, if you are a Pisces, your lows are when The Moon is in Virgo, and so on around the astrological wheel.
When you are in the 2.5 day phase of your low, just kick back and don’t try to change things, wait for better timing, as you will find it most difficult to get your way during this phase.
The low points are good times of the month to meditate, be spiritual, be more kind to others and let negativity roll off your back like the proverbial duck. Try to avoid dealing with important business matters during these times if it is at all possible.

Every 2.5 days The Moon goes “Void of Course” as well. The length of the Void of Course Moon varies greatly, sometimes, it can be a fleeting few seconds, at others, it can last a few days. A lunar phase calendar can help you to track The Moon.

A Void of Course Moon occurs when the last major aspect happens prior to changing to the next sign, hence, its’ frequency being an approximate 2.5 days. The Void ends when The Moon successfully enters the next sign.

These periods are best used for “quiet times” for everyone. Things tend to go wrong or get confused during the void, stress levels rise, patience wanes and everyone is just a little bit more difficult to talk to. It is not an exceedingly strong influence, but it has its’ moments. It is best to avoid taking assertive actions during these voids, simply wait for them to pass.

Around the Wheel With Aquarius

Around The Wheel with Pisces

(Compatibility Profiles)

By Brigid Bishop


Here are some basic “Rules of Thumb” for Piscean Compatibility Profiles. Of course, these are based on Sun Sign only, in order to truly plot compatibility it is best to have a professional compatibility profile done between the two charts, but this is a general description of the core energies to be expected.

Pisces Male and Aries Female

This may be a difficult combination unless other aspects within the chart are positive. The Pisces Male is sensitive and caring and the Aries Female is a fiery and independent and action-oriented energy. The Pisces Male wants to sit back and dream a little while the Aries Female wants to go, go, and go. Without an elemental balance within the charts the connection can be fleeting at best.

Pisces Female and Aries Male

This mix can actually work out a bit better than its’ reverse as the masculine and feminine biological energies can enhance the connection. The Pisces Female will idolize the Aries for his take charge approach to life and feel cherished and protected, while the Arian Male will find her femininity and dreaminess quite appealing. She will want to create a comfort zone for him to recharge in and he will want to “lasso the moon” for her.

Pisces Male and Taurus Female

The Pisces Male and the Taurean Female are a very positive blend of the elements of Water and Earth. The Pisces Male will provide for and nourish the Taurean Female, and the Taurean Female will bloom and blossom for the Piscean Male. The dreaminess of the Pisces Male is put into action by the earthy Taurean Female and a firm foundation can be built that has the potential to last a lifetime.

Pisces Female and Taurus Male

The Pisces Female will simply adore the sensual and earthy Taurus Male. Physical chemistry here will be off the charts! She will give him everything she can both emotionally and physically and will stretch her proficient imagination to its’ most outer limits to come up with new and exciting ways to please him. The Taurean Male will not fail to notice this and will work long and hard to give her the best of everything that the world has to offer.

Pisces Male and Gemini Female

The Pisces Male will be genuinely fascinated by the Gemini Female and will be hard-pressed to keep up with her acrobatic mind as she switches from subject to subject and twin to twin, but he will do his best! His daydreams take on a surreal quality that entrances him when she explains to him how to put his thoughts into action. The Pisces Male will actually be able to get the Gemini Female to slow down a bit, to stop and smell the roses, and the Gemini Female can spur the Pisces Male into making his fantasies reality.

Pisces Female and Gemini Male

Unlike the reverse pairing of these signs, biologically, this makes for a difficult match. The duplicitous nature of the Gemini Male confuses the Piscean Female to a point of utter distress. Although much love and attraction can exist between them, without other positive aspects, the Piscean Female may feel much distrust for the Gemini Male, undermining the relationship, due to his lack of consistency and inability to be the same man day to day as he undergoes his transformations from twin to twin. She needs a little more stability to feel safe.

Pisces Male and Cancer Female

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink! The Pisces Male and the Cancer Female are said by traditional astrologers to be well-matched due to their common elemental influence of water, and this can well be so as long as both parties are able to comfortably allow the other to swim to the deep end of the pool of emotion without feeling a sense of abandonment, or hold on so tightly that they begin to pull each other under and succumb to the smothering influences of water. They will understand each other quite well, thank you, but they need to be able to balance practicality with sentiment.

Pisces Female and Cancer Male

A better mix than the reverse genders as the Pisces Female responds well to the nurturing that the Cancer Male naturally provides. When these two dive into the pool of emotion they tend to come out refreshed and reenergized, ready to face forward with optimism, the Pisces Female knowing that her Cancer Man will be there to catch her if she should slip, and the Cancer Male knowing that it is safe to dream and feel his emotions while in her company.

Pisces Male and Leo Female

The Pisces Male will be attracted to the Leo Female, well, just because she is who she is and pulls no punches about it. She will enjoy his admiration of her and he will enjoy her generous spirit. The Leo Female will have the energy to move the Pisces Male to action absent nagging or cajoling, he will want to do for her to be able to enjoy the warmth of her sunlight. Her fire can certainly make his water boil.

Pisces Female and Leo Male

The Pisces Female will be energetically attracted to the Leo Male. His passion and zest for life will be infectious to her, to say the least, and she will muse that in days gone by he could well have been her knight in shining armor. The Leo Male will feel self-actualized by the sense she gives him of being “all man” and will cherish her for the sheer fact of her admiration for him. The problem is, the rose colored glasses have to be taken off sooner or later, and when she sees him as a mere mortal, unless there are other balancing factors in their charts, she may lose interest.

Pisces Male and Virgo Female

The polar oppositions of the suns of these two create a sense of balance. He is imaginative and creative where the Virgo Female is practical. The Pisces Male is sensitive and precognitive, she wants hard facts and figures. The pair is quite capable of a balancing act that can last a lifetime. The Virgo Female keeps the Pisces Male, who is one to drift to other dimensions, grounded here on earth.

Pisces Female and Virgo Male

The Pisces Female is lilting and ethereal while the Virgo Male is down to earth and pragmatic. She dreams ahead in time, he lives in the here and now. At its best, the pairing will bring balance to each other’s lives, at it’s worse, they will be in constant conflict due to not allowing the energy of the other to flow freely. The Virgo Male may be so down to earth that he tries to bind her here against her will. This will not due for the Pisces Female, she will swish her tail and swim away leaving him all alone. If he allows her to dream freely and enjoy her musings and reminds her that he is here in the “real” world waiting patiently, they can last a lifetime.

Pisces Male and Libra Female

The Pisces Male finds the Libra Female hauntingly beautiful and the Libra Female finds the Pisces Male handsome and charming and optimistic. The Pisces Male will so romanticize the Libran Female’s natural beauty that he may not be capable of fulfilling her intellectual needs. This is a woman with a beautiful mind as well, and he needs to appreciate the charm of her wit as well as her feminine wiles to keep her interested.

Pisces Female and Libra Male

The Pisces Female and the Libra Male make an excellent pair. He is totally open to her fantasies and musings and actually loves her precognitive abilities and finds them quite fascinating. He will turn to her when he needs to weigh out a decision for her psychic abilities rather than for practical advice. The two are capable of building a happy dream world together, even with their own language that is impossible for anyone else to interpret.

Pisces Male and Scorpio Female

This pairing is one that is absolutely metaphysical in chemistry. They frequently can read each other’s thoughts and feelings, even when continents divide them. The sexual energy between these two is very sensual and mystical in nature and forms a deep bond between the two. Lovers for life can occur here. The Scorpio Female will not, however, forgive or forget any transgressions on the Piscean Males’ part.

Pisces Female and Scorpio Male

These two are real fire crackers in the sack. There is no fantasy or wish that one will not fulfill for the other. Experimentation and sensuality in all aspects of their relationship, even in sharing a meal, will keep the fire burning between these two for decades. They can easily read each other’s thoughts and feelings and frequently communicate with no verbalization at all. These two easily can become lovers for life.

Pisces Male and Sagittarius Female

The Sagittarian Female’s blunt honesty hurts the Piscean Male’s feelings on a frequent basis. When she feels that she is just cluing him in, he feels he is being criticized. The Pisces Male will swim quickly away when the female horse stomps through his favorite swimming hole spreading her truth and honesty. Although her fiery nature may appeal to him, his sensitive nature cannot endure it for long.

Pisces Female and Sagittarius Male

The Sagittarian Male’s need for adventure, travel and independence will make the Piscean Female feel a bit abandoned. She won’t want to travel too much on his adventures with him as she would rather spend her days weaving her cloth of dreams and fantasies and possibilities, while he wants to rush straight forward into the next journey. She will find his blunt and honest approach to communication painful and although he doesn’t mean to hurt her feelings, he will. Without more elemental balance in the charts this will be a painful experience for the Pisces Woman.

Pisces Male and Capricorn Female

The Pisces Male and Capricorn Female make a straight forward and openly honest pair. She will be practical and he will be dreamy, but he will work to make those dreams come true for her, led by her example. The Pisces Male may like to socialize a bit more than she, but they will find a balance. She will encourage him to aim his socialization at those who form a network to enhance his chances at success, thus compromising their styles in a positive way.

Piscean Female and Capricorn Male

The Goat Man may very well fall off of his mountain peak here, and fall deeply in love with this Female Fish. She is like a siren calling to him just out of sight of the beach, and he must plunge into the water to answer this call. Her mystical nature fascinates him, although he may choose to not believe that she is psychic, inside, he will know she truly is. She will open up his spiritual and metaphysical side and perhaps even teach him that there is more to life than material gain.

Piscean Male and Aquarius Female

The Pisces Male may think the Aquarian Female is just a little bit “out of this world” with her thoughts and actions and his sensitive nature cannot take the constant onslaught of thoughts and ideas without system overload if other aspects of the chart do not create more balance. The Aquarian Female will try to herd the Piscean Male into the life that she feels is best for him, and he is a slippery fish that is not easily led. Power struggles are common in this pairing, as is passive-aggressive behavior on the part of our friend Mr. Fish.

Piscean Female and Aquarius Male

The Pisces Female is the biggest dreamer in the zodiac and the Aquarian Male absolutely loves her for it! Her imagination combined with his creative abilities make a pair that can create an ideal life together. He doesn't feel the need for independence as strongly with this sign as he does with the others, as she and her dreamy ways bring him a sense of inner peace. Someone has to remember to go to the grocery store here or you two might just dream away!!! Wake up!!!

Pisces Female and Pisces Male

These two can be the best of friends, the most sensual of lovers and the most creative and successful business partners that you have ever met as long as ONE of them has enough fire in their chart to turn their dreams into realities. Psychic connections between these two are almost visible to the naked eye! Herein the problem lies, there is no way to lie to each other. If these two ever part company they will totally go their separate ways, although they can have a great love, the ending of that great love is something the Pisces would rather not be reminded of through friendship with an ex.

Valentine's Day, Keeping It Simple

Valentine's Day Gift Giving Guide to the Zodiac
The Pisces Personality Type
by Brigid Bishop

Having a mother and an elder brother belonging to this sun sign has really given me an inside look at what makes both the female and the male Pisces tick. Every Pisces will be just a tad bit different than these generalities based on a full chart comparison, however, wherever you find Pisces in anyone’s chart, these characteristics will be displayed.

Common to both sexes of the sign of The Fish is a need for true love, faith and inner peace. Without these influences in the lives of our friend Pisces, we see a tendency toward escapism and fantasy.

Pisces may well be the kindest sign in the zodiac, and due to this kindness, they are often shocked when others’ behave in ways that are unkind or cruel, hence, the myth that they can be “gullible” arises. Pisces are not gullible, they just expect the best from everyone, and assume that people don’t go around intentionally hurting each other because it is not a thing that they themselves would do.

They can, at times, be subject to depression, because they see life as mystical and magical and take it as karmic law when bad things happen to them or those they love.

Pisces are extremely romantic. Did I say extremely? I mean, mark this EXTREMELY ROMANTIC. Both the male and female of this loving sign believe that love itself is magic, destined, “meant to be”, fated, etc., etc., etc., and they firmly believe in happy endings.

Pisces love to take care of others.

The Pisces Female may so drown you in affection that you need to escape her from time to time, this will hurt her deeply, she just wants to show you how much SHE LOVES YOU! Try to be tolerant of this abundance of love and take your space as needed in positive ways, like joining a gym or club or group and making sure that while she is at work you attend. Pisces females are prone to a sense of abandonment when left alone too long, so always make sure that when you need your space you can give her a good reason for it, like volunteering at a hospital so that she can’t ring your cell phone every hour to check on you.

It’s NOT that she is needy, she wants to make sure that YOU have everything YOU need to be happy. This can be overwhelming to some of us more independent signs.

The Pisces Woman will do everything within her power and her remarkable imagination to fulfill all of your dreams, fantasies and desires. This is certainly not a bad thing!

Famous Pisces Women

Elizabeth Taylor, Drew Barrymore, Queen Latifah, Eva Longoria, Liza Minnelli, Cindy Crawford, Carrie Underwood, Chelsea Clinton, Kristin Davis, Chilli, Sharon Stone, Ali Larter, Dakota Fanning

The Pisces Male is a care giver extraordinaire as well. He will work long and hard to make your dreams come true. He too, will demonstrate the constant checking and rechecking of YOUR needs, but may not be quite as frequent in his assessments.

The Pisces Male can actually be quite shy, and this shyness can be misinterpreted as standoffishness or aloofness, it’s not the case, he just needs to feel his comfort zone before he goes public with his ideas and feelings.

Pisces Men are good at sorting out other people’s troubles and typically find themselves in some type of leadership position whether they want it or not.

Famous Pisces Men

Billy Crystal, Jon Bon Jovi, Albert Einstein, Bruce Willis, Johnny Knoxville, Rob Lowe, Johnny Cash, Freddie Prinze Jr., Benicio del Toro, Kurt Cobain, Billy Corgan, Michael Bolton

Both the Male and Female Fish are the types who may actually lie to spare your feelings. They do not want to be dishonest with you, but they can’t stand to hurt you.

The House where Pisces resides in your chart is where you peacefully get by and tend to have faith.
