Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, beyond just the usual sun sign stuff. I came across this combination – Pisces Sun, Scorpio Rising – and it REALLY resonated with me. So, I decided to document my journey of understanding and embodying this particular blend.
Initial Research & Understanding
First things first, I googled the heck out of it. I wanted to get a basic understanding of what each placement meant individually, and then how they might interact.
- Pisces Sun: Dreamy, sensitive, compassionate, artistic, sometimes lost in their own world.
- Scorpio Rising: Intense, magnetic, private, perceptive, a bit mysterious, can come across as intimidating.
The combo seemed… contradictory. Like, a soft, go-with-the-flow Pisces being presented to the world through this intense, Scorpio filter. I felt that, honestly. I often feel like I’m perceived way differently than how I feel inside.
Embracing the Pisces Sun
I started by focusing on my Pisces Sun. I wanted to really connect with that energy. I did this in a few ways:
- Meditation: I tried to meditate more regularly, even if it was just for 10 minutes. I focused on connecting with my intuition and letting my thoughts just flow, like water. It was… surprisingly difficult at first. My mind is usually racing.
- Creative Expression: Pisces is super creative, so I dusted off my old sketchpad. I haven’t drawn seriously in years. I also started listening to more music, just letting myself get lost in the melodies and emotions.
- Spending Time in Nature: Water is a big Pisces element, so I made a point of going to the beach more often. Just sitting by the ocean, listening to the waves, felt incredibly grounding and calming.
Confronting the Scorpio Rising
This was trickier. The Scorpio Rising is all about intensity and depth, which can be a bit… much. I knew I couldn’t just become intense, but I could explore that side of myself.
- Journaling: I started journaling more honestly, not holding back on my darker emotions or thoughts. It felt… cathartic, like I was finally acknowledging these parts of myself that I usually try to hide.
- Setting Boundaries: Scorpio Rising can be very protective of their energy. I practiced saying “no” more often, and prioritizing my own needs. This was HARD. I’m a people-pleaser by nature (hello, Pisces!).
- Observing My Interactions: I paid more attention to how I come across to others. I asked a close friend for honest feedback, which was… enlightening, to say the least. Apparently, I can be quite intimidating when I first meet people!
Finding the Balance The pisces sun and scorpio rising
The real work has been in integrating these two seemingly opposite energies. It’s not about being one or the other, but about finding the balance.
I am now able to feel my pisces Dreamy, sensitive, compassionate, artistic side,
and also my scorpio Intense, magnetic, private, perceptive side.
It’s an ongoing process, of course. Some days I feel more Pisces, some days more Scorpio. But I’m learning to embrace both sides of myself, and to use them to my advantage. It’s like… I have this inner well of deep emotion and intuition (Pisces), and this outer layer of strength and protection (Scorpio). It’s a powerful combination, once you learn how to wield it.
