The Pisces Man

People who possess the Pisces sign tend to be very calm, loving, and nurturing presences. Pisces Men in particular do not carry the macho, manly, hardened exterior so commonly associated with the manly stereotype.

Instead, they are emotionally-gifted and perceptive of other people's emotions. They care about others' needs. In any given situation, they will look to address the emotional needs of other people before they begin to even care about theirs.

They are also very creative and heavily invested in the arts. Pisces Men are expressive and are at their best when making full use of their creative powers.

The element that governs the Pisces Man’s actions is Water. Water in astrology is a strong metaphor for human emotion itself. One can be as calm and free-flowing as a river one day, and be a swirling pool of anger and rage the next.

This plays further into the quality Pisces is famous for: mutability. Other signs will use the water element more or less as a way to just see other people's emotions. However, Pisces Men channel Water itself to create art and show their true selves. 

Thus, Pisces Men carry proudly the intellectual gift of immense creativity.

The Pisces Man's entire meaning is best signified by its symbol: two fishes swimming in a circle. This interplay provides a powerful description of Pisces Men. As a rule, they have one foot planted between the realms of reality and imagination.

They are aware of life's realities, but also want to see how far they can take their creative powers. Thus, you can often see them using their emotions to create works of art that compel people to think-- and feel as they do.

Pisces Men are artists, through and through, and they bring forth creative light into the world.

The planet from which the Pisces Man draws his strength is Neptune, also known to the Ancient Romans as the God of the Sea. As a planet, it cements Pisces' affiliation and connection with the water element. This makes Pisces more emotional and creative than most signs.

The basic source of this strength is their ability to empathize, which Neptune also cultivates. Pisces Men aren't just capable of expressing emotions. They can sometimes be the outlet of such emotions for friends who are in dire need of emotional support.

It's for this reason that Pisces Men have the love of people.

Weigh your options

As a Pisces Man, there is a fundamental need for you to weigh your options. One tendency that you have is that you tend to dive in at the first chance of expressing yourself, even though it can be dangerous for you to do so.

The problem in this case lies in the fact that even as an act of freedom, speaking your mind can have terrible consequences. It isn't wrong to say what your mind wants you to say, of course.

But it would make life easier if you could actually think twice before doing anything that is risky.

Survey the field first

You know those short moments of silence when you write or start painting? Those moments where you're just staring into an empty canvas as the thoughts slowly start to materialize and become either words or images?

These crucial moments of silence are not to be underestimated. For starters, they embody critical thought and wisdom, and as such, moments of such kind should be used in order to survey the field and know whether what you're doing is advantageous to you.

Don't be afraid to pause here and give yourself some room to think about what matters most in your quest.

Other people’s feelings matter, too

Pisces Men are naturally empathetic beings. However, despite their aptitude for conversing and discussing feelings with other people, they often make choices that hint otherwise and show instead a selfish side that ultimately makes them difficult to get along with.

For example, in romance, you may have a tendency to let your lover spoil you upon your insistence. While it's good that they are willing to take the extra mile with you, it can be painful for them later on with all the effort and energy needed to make it work.

Look at other people's feelings, because they matter too.

Let yourself go

Pisces Men are highly doubtful of themselves to the utmost. While it is healthy to be a little skeptical of yourself, too much of it can end up simply hurting you later on. When you doubt yourself too much, you are slowly closing the door on every conceivable opportunity.

For this reason, you should allow yourself to feel the natural impulse of doing things without knowing all the facts at times. You will understand what to do when the time is right.

As such, when you are confronted with a difficult choice, try giving in to your whims and choose!

It’s okay to stop and think

Although a Pisces can at times be rational, their emotions tend to lead them to make impulsive choices that can ultimately endanger them in scenarios where logic and reasoning are most required.

In such cases, while Pisces Men are able to draw upon the strength of their emotions, the reality is that they too need to actually make the most of life in the most effective way possible. As such, you should tap into your logical faculties when you have the chance.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that life can only be accomplished by charging-- think twice, too!

Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli is a crystal best used to help deal with the terrible mindsets Pisces Men tend to have at certain times in their life. With Pisces being the sign of emotion, men of this sign are attuned to not only the positive emotions, but negative ones as well.

They feel hatred more deeply, doubt more greatly and pain more intimately than most other signs, so they are also at risk for changing in the most dramatic fashion.

With Lapis Lazuli's ability to absorb the negativity of one's emotions, Pisces can live more happily in the purity of endless joy.

Blue Lace Agate

Blue Lace Agate is a healing crystal that contributes to self-mastery in that it hits the very core of a Pisces Man’s worst weaknesses: doubt. When Pisces Men are doubtful, there are lags between their decisions, causing significant delays.

Aside from this, they can also be very half-hearted in their decision-making process. The Blue Lace Agate is helpful in such cases because it eliminates the doubt directly from the Pisces Man's mind.

By wearing it and using it in everyday life, you are therefore able to tap into your best qualities without doubt ever impeding your progress as a person.

Iolite

Iolite is yet another positive crystal for the Pisces Man, in that it not only removes doubt in your mind, it also fills you with positive joy in the best of times and hope when times are harsh and uncertain.

The latter, in particular, is a very useful perk, given that Pisces Men are often driven by their own emotions. When they are in a state of great emotional turmoil, the Iolite does its job by instilling the idea that true defeat cannot happen unless one yields.

This gem is therefore career and even life-saving in a lot of respects.

Pisces Men are endlessly creative and defiant of limitations. They are like the vast oceans themselves, and are in fact able to channel upon their vast reserves of creativity to show human potential.

Even then, however, there are weaknesses they must bear in mind. They can too doubting of themselves, and only by tapping into their strengths will you be able to truly shine.
