So, I’ve been messing around with this whole astrology thing lately, specifically looking into my sun and rising signs. Turns out, I’m a Pisces sun with a Libra rising. Sounds kinda fancy, right? But what does it even mean? That’s what I wanted to figure out.
First, I had to get a handle on what each of these signs is all about. I hit up some websites and just started reading. Pisces, from what I gathered, is all about being sensitive, imaginative, and maybe a little bit dreamy. It’s a water sign, which I guess makes sense, like going with the flow and all that. It’s also considered a “feminine” and “mutable” sign, whatever that means. I’m still not a hundred percent clear on that part.
Then there’s Libra, my rising sign. This one is supposed to be all about balance, harmony, and being social. It’s an air sign, which I guess is the opposite of water? And it’s labeled as “masculine” and “cardinal.” Again, not totally sure about the masculine/feminine stuff, but cardinal sounds important, like it’s a leader or something.
So, after reading up, I spent some time reflecting on myself, like, does this even fit? I tried to observe my own behavior in different situations. Do I actually care about others? Do I seek affection? Do I avoid conflict? I paid attention to how I reacted to things, how I made decisions, and how I interacted with people. It was kinda weird, to be honest, like I was watching myself from the outside. I try to be fair to others in my mind, to see each side.
Next, I decided to talk to some friends, especially the ones who are super into astrology. I wanted to get their take on this whole Pisces-Libra thing. I asked them if they thought I was sensitive and dreamy like a Pisces, and if I seemed balanced and social like a Libra. It was interesting to hear their perspectives, some of which were not that great to hear, but were honest.
- Some said I could be a bit of a pushover sometimes, which might be the Pisces part.
- Others said I’m pretty good at seeing both sides of an argument, which sounds like Libra.
I also tried to look at my past, like, way back. I thought about how I acted as a kid, how I dealt with stuff in school, and how my relationships have been over the years. I dug up old journals, looked at old photos, and even chatted with some family members about what I was like growing up. It was a bit of a trip down memory lane, and it helped me see some patterns in my behavior that I hadn’t really noticed before.
Realizing Stuff
After all this digging, reflecting, and talking, I started to see how these two signs might actually be playing out in my life. It’s not like a light switch flipped, but more like things gradually started to make a little more sense. It’s like, my empathetic part is probably from my Pisces sun, and my conflict avoidance is the Libra rising. I started to appreciate how they work together to make me, well, me.
I’m still not an astrology expert, but this whole experiment has been pretty eye-opening. It’s made me more aware of my own tendencies and how I come across to others. And it’s kinda cool to think that there might be some cosmic forces at play, shaping who I am. Or maybe it’s just a fun way to think about myself. Either way, it’s been a worthwhile journey of self-discovery.
