My
Ascendant degree is 4 Pisces. With Saturn in early Sagittarius I keep falling!
It is almost amazing how my knees don’t break! And how I manage to stand
up…Anyway, it is almost Pisces time and with that Ascendant I feel obliged to
pay some attention on Ascendant Pisces. The Ascendant is the symbol of how you
present yourself and how you see the world. Well, in modern times Neptune rules
Pisces and Neptune makes all things vague, diffuse, unreal and idealistic. I am
an awake sleep walker, sort of, with colored glasses on. Fortunately, in
ancient times Jupiter ruled Pisces and Jupiter is more positive, happy and
protecting. The combination of Jupiter and Neptune is the combination of fans
and followers, the believing audience and great imagination or illusions. As
Jupiter is conjunct my Ascendant but in the 12th house (Pisces house) I surely
combine both on my chart’s horizon.
Pisces is
one of the signs that pop up in the charts of artists (see my blog
Art&Astrology for the pattern of artistic talents). That is because it is a
visionary’s sign. Art needs imagination and dreams, to see things that aren’t
yet there. You can use the Pisces influence for anything that hasn’t yet
materialized. Mediums, media (like the internet and television) and movies
belong to Pisces. So does romance, because you see the loved one like no one
else sees him or her. Your angel is another person’s devil, perhapsJ.
Pisces
Ascendants are a bit fake, perhaps. Let me think aloud a bit...
Is the
Pisces Ascendant like a doormat? I think it is sometimes, but not for long. It
is just the Ascendant, your door. When you have a Pisces Ascendant your entry
is covered in mist, looking soft and slippery. You may have no idea what’s
next. You may even be able to bend that door and shape it like you want it and
then wipe your feet. The other side of it (the way the Ascendant sees the world)
is that it is tricky outside so that you’d better hide or be invisible, be
anonymous or on your guard for the emergency exit while seemingly tolerating
and understanding it all. The octopus is one of the creatures that changes color in defense.
The world outside is not what it looks like and there
may be more than what you see. That is the message, when you have a Pisces
Ascendant. So perhaps there is an overdose of paranoia among those with this
Ascendant, as well as an overdose of idealist following on idea or belief and a
lot of Pisces Ascendants believing in ghosts. I don’t know if anyone ever tested this. So it’s
just a guess. Isn't that a good end for a not so sure Pisces Ascendant sign story? But, I have another way to look at Pisces. I think of the fisherman, who silently waits for the prey or the beautiful Syren to be caught. Isn't he/she also part of the Pisces story?

I like the
description of Pisces Ascendant on Café Astrology, where they mention the changeable
(chameleon behavior – especially with Neptune in Libra - or should I say: being
able to adjust anywhere?). http://www.cafeastrology.com/pisces_ascendantrisingsign.html

like my Ascendant sign. Do you?
