Plenty of Fish in the Sea, I'm Just Two of Them

At one point in my life I wanted to be an astronomer. I had an impressive collection of star charts and a map of the moon on my ceiling. The library, my second home, provided me with wonderful information on my future profession and I often checked out more books than I could really carry. Eventually however, I started to think that maybe mankind would benefit more from my life if I focused on the Earth instead of the heavens (my main goal is to help humanity directly in some way). My telescope has been exiled to the garage and the star charts handed down to my brother. The interest never left me though, so I still take my siblings out at night and see what constellations I can find. One that I never can seem to is Pisces. Another interest of mine that I have studied since elementary school is Greek mythology. It was through these two topics that I discovered the world of astrology.

My sun sign according to astrology is Pisces, symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions. Most of the time that is me to a fault. I am always of two minds about things and I see all the shades of grey. These traits caused problems for me growing up because my father is a very black and white sort of man. At times I feel like one big contradiction. I am very intellectual, yet I love fantasy. The sciences are my field of choice, but I have been having an extended love affair with the arts. I cannot live without the company of others, and I crave to just be left alone to think. According to elore.com (a website I have found particularly good), Pisceans are "in need of a container which will shape them, guide them" and "possess a gentle, patient nature, but one that is in want of molding". Yep, that sounds about right. I am very easily molded and that is one fault I am trying to work on. People cannot live their lives simply copying those around them. Another aspect of Pisceans is that they can be "easily misled because they want to believe. No matter how often they are led astray by vacant promises, they keep the faith and go on looking for their personal ideal". This is me without a doubt. I recently was dumped from a relationship that never should have gone on as long as it did simply because of my "loyalty" (for lack of a better word). In response to this a good friend told me "You can't be loyal to someone else until you are true to yourself". When it comes to relationships I tend to wear rose colored glasses; I am a hopeless romantic. The fact that I realize this about myself though, just makes it that much easier for me to fix it. I have to be more rational when it comes to relationships because in my life I tend to be very dreamy. Life is all about balance, especially when you are such an interesting blend of opposites like I am.

Even if you put no stock in astrology, I would suggest taking a look at your sun sign. This blog is all about exploration, remember? astrology-online.com, elore.com, and astrology-insight.com are all good websites. Compare what is said about your sign to your own personality. It could be completely wrong or spot on. Once you do that, take a look at the Greek myth concerning your sign. I love the way the Greeks explained certain things. If you find any other good astrology websites let me know. Just have some fun while looking because you never know what you'll find. I'd love to hear about it.
