ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My parents say I’m rebellious and difficult. My teachers say I’m out of control. Sometimes I hate just being around here. I’m not suicidal or anything, I just don’t see the point in living sometimes. I think I’m going to show everyone eventually, someday, they shouldn’t have tried to get me to conform. I was born March 11."

Pisces is the born mystic of the zodiac, born either to inspire, or to wander through life to seemingly wonder that it’s all about. In either event, it’s not easy being a Pisces. Pisces’ ruler is Neptune, and the energy of Neptune is more a spiritual energy than a material energy. As a result, Pisces have a rough time coping with being on the earthly plane; sometimes it’s just too much for them, and they feel compelled to turn to escapist activities, which could include the overuse of drugs, alcohol, food or co-dependent relationships. Pisces do not, as a rule, respond to harshness or strictness. If your parents or teachers have told you to "get it together," you have more than likely only rebelled further. As a Pisces, your intuition is intense and correct. Find direction by combining that inward curiosity and philosophy with the external act of service. Devoting yourself to someone else’s mission will help you realize your own. Pisces are the genuine servants of themselves and humanity.
