Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, trying to figure out my whole cosmic blueprint thing. I’m a Pisces Sun, which I kinda get – dreamy, emotional, all that jazz. But then I found out my rising sign is Taurus, and I was like, “Huh? That’s…grounded.” So, I decided to really look into how these two energies play together in my life.
The Pisces Sun: Swimming in the Depths
First, I spent some time just reflecting on my Pisces Sun traits. I made a list:
- Super empathetic: I feel EVERYTHING, other people’s emotions, the vibe of a room, you name it.
- Creative: I love writing, doodling, anything that lets me express myself.
- Daydreamer: My head is often in the clouds, seriously.
- Intuitive: I get strong gut feelings about things, and they’re usually right.
- Indecisive: I hate making a strong decision.
Yep, that’s me. A total water sign, flowing all over the place.
Enter the Taurus Rising: Finding My Anchor
Then I started researching Taurus Rising. Apparently, this is the “mask” I wear to the world, how people first perceive me. The descriptions I found talked about:
- Calmness: People see me as pretty chill and composed.
- Practicality: I appear to have my act together, even when I’m internally freaking out.
- Appreciation for beauty: I love good food, comfy clothes, nice things. (Guilty!)
- Stubbornness: Oh yeah, I can dig my heels in when I want to.
It was weird! It felt like two totally different people. But then…I started thinking about how these energies actually combine.
The Blending Process: Observations and Experiments
I decided to actively observe myself for a few weeks, focusing on situations where I felt both my Pisces and Taurus sides. Here’s what I noticed:
- I worked on the observations:
Social Situations: I’d go to a party feeling all Pisces-y and overwhelmed, but my Taurus Rising would kick in and I’d appear totally calm and collected. I’d even find myself enjoying the good snacks and chatting with people in a down-to-earth way.
Creative Projects: My Pisces Sun would come up with a million wild ideas, but my Taurus Rising would help me actually start one and stick with it, focusing on the tangible steps needed to bring it to life.
Decision-Making: My Pisces Sun would have me waffling back and forth, but my Taurus Rising would eventually push me to make a practical, grounded choice. It was like my inner voice saying, “Okay, enough dreaming, let’s get real.”
- I created a way to track when I notice my actions:
To understand my actions, I decided to document what was going on. I created a simple document to mark down when I made a decision, noting what I felt from the inside, and what I displayed to others.
After a couple of days of doing this, it started to make sense, and I was better able to understand myself.
The Result: Finding Balance
After going through these observations and experiments, I’m starting to see how my Pisces Sun and Taurus Rising aren’t opposing forces, but actually complement each other. My Pisces energy gives me creativity and intuition, while my Taurus energy provides stability and grounding. It’s like having a dreamy spirit with its feet firmly planted on the earth. I’m still figuring it all out, but it’s been a pretty cool journey of self-discovery so far!
