So, I had this idea pop into my head a while back about combining my Pisces sun sign with my Leo rising. It sounded cool, but I didn’t really know what it meant. I’m a Pisces, which I guess makes me a dreamer, always lost in my own little world. And apparently, having a Leo rising means I come off as confident and maybe a bit dramatic, even though I don’t always feel that way inside.
I started by just Googling stuff like “Pisces sun Leo rising” and “Pisces traits.” Found out that Pisces is ruled by Neptune, which is all about dreams and intuition, and also Jupiter, which is about growth and luck. I read somewhere that people see Pisces as sensitive and creative. That’s me in a nutshell! I spend hours painting, writing, or just daydreaming. It’s my way of escaping reality, I guess.
Digging into My Birth Chart
Then I got into this whole birth chart thing. I used one of those free online calculators, entered my birth date, time, and place, and bam! There it was. My chart showed Pisces as my sun sign and Leo as my rising. It also showed me where all the other planets were when I was born. Neptune and Jupiter were highlighted as my “rulers.” Honestly, it felt like I was unlocking some secret code about myself. I started writing down notes, like “Pisces sun: emotional, intuitive, creative” and “Leo rising: confident, expressive, loves attention.”
Experimenting with Self-Expression
With all this in mind, I decided to do a little experiment. I’m usually pretty shy about sharing my art, but I thought, “What if I tried to be more Leo-like?” So, I started posting my paintings on social media. It was nerve-wracking at first! I’d check my phone every five minutes, hoping for likes and comments. Some days I got a lot of positive feedback, which felt amazing. Other days, not so much. But I kept at it, trying to channel that Leo energy.
Journaling My Feelings
- Day 1: Posted my first painting. Felt super anxious but also kind of excited.
- Day 7: Got a few nice comments! Starting to feel more comfortable.
- Day 14: Had a bad day. No one seemed to care about my post. Felt like hiding.
- Day 21: Someone asked if I sell my art! Wow, maybe this Leo thing is working?
- Day 30: Realized it’s not about the likes. It’s about expressing myself.
I also started a journal to track my feelings. Some days I felt like a true Pisces, all emotional and introspective. Other days, I felt that Leo spark, wanting to be seen and heard. I noticed that when I embraced both sides of myself, I felt more balanced. Like, I could be dreamy and creative but also confident and outgoing when I needed to be.
Connecting with Other Pisces
I even joined some online groups for Pisces. It was cool to talk to other people who understood the whole “feeling everything so deeply” thing. We shared our art, our dreams, our struggles. I learned that a lot of Pisces also struggle with self-doubt, just like me. But we also encourage each other to shine, to embrace our unique talents. It felt like finding my tribe, you know?
This whole experience has been a real eye-opener. I’m still a Pisces at heart, with all my dreamy, sensitive ways. But I’m also learning to embrace my Leo rising, to be more confident and expressive. It’s like I’m two people in one, and that’s okay. I’m learning to love all parts of myself, the quiet dreamer and the bold performer. And honestly, it feels pretty darn good.
