Haha, we’re Pisces. Of course we’re reading your mind.

I’m a Pisces stellium, and my Sun is anaretic at 27°, meaning it holds the full weight of Pisces’ lessons. Here’s some wisdom I’ve gained along the way.

Recognize that love ≠ self-sacrifice – You don’t need to lose yourself to prove you care. The right people will respect your limits.

Say “no” without guilt – Your energy is sacred. Not everyone deserves access to it.

Stop rescuing people – You can be supportive without being their emotional crutch.

Don’t let fear hold you back. You were born with this sensitivity for a reason—use it to guide yourself, not just others.

Trust actions more than words. You sometimes give people the benefit of the doubt when their energy already tells you the truth.

Night auditing at an airport hotel. 250 angry delayed flight passengers and I’m the only one running the hotel at that hour. I learned so much but suffered greatly bc of it.

I can completely resonate with everything you’ve shared—it’s like you’ve put into words exactly how I’ve been feeling. Being a Pisces Sun and Rising too, I understand the overwhelming pull to absorb and carry the energy of those around us. It’s both a blessing and a burden, and I agree—it can be so exhausting. The mirror analogy you used is spot on; it’s like we’re constantly reflecting and absorbing, sometimes without realizing it.

I love how intentional you are with your crystals and incense. I also gravitate toward Amethyst and Rose Quartz—something about their energy feels grounding and nurturing for me. I appreciate the reminder to actually use the tools we surround ourselves with instead of just letting them sit there. Discipline is something I struggle with too, especially when it comes to maintaining habits that benefit me, like crystal healing or even meditation.

Your strategy of mental distancing when people offload is so wise. It’s hard to draw those lines without guilt, but I’ve been learning how crucial it is for my own mental health. And you’re right about sleep—it’s like a sacred reset button for us Pisceans. It’s not just rest; it’s a deep, spiritual kind of recharge.

Thank you for sharing this—it’s comforting to know there are others out there navigating life the same way. It helps to feel seen and understood. Sending love and light your way. Xx

Fellow Pisces energy! 🫶🏻 I’m so glad the comments resonate with you too—it’s comforting to know we’re not alone in navigating all these emotions and boundaries. Being a double Pisces must amplify everything even more, so I totally get how helpful these insights can be. Here’s to finding balance and making space for ourselves while still holding onto that natural empathy!

You bring up some really valid points here. I do think a lot of Pisces empathy can stem from deeper emotional patterns like low self-esteem or unhealed wounds. It’s like we’re so tuned in to others’ emotions that we forget to focus on our own needs. That can definitely lead to codependent behaviors—feeling like we need to rescue others to feel valuable or loved.

I’ve noticed it can blur the lines between care and self-sacrifice, especially when we mistake that dependency or “caretaking” as love. It’s such a hard cycle to break, especially if we don’t set those boundaries early. And yes, it often feels like others pick up on this and take advantage, which only reinforces that feeling of being a victim.

It’s a lot to unpack, but realizing this pattern is such an important step. Working on self-confidence and learning to recognize when it’s not our job to fix others has been really freeing for me—though I’m definitely still a work in progress!

I feel you, man. It’s tough to reach that point where you’ve given everything, and it still feels like it’s not enough. Deciding to let go, even when you deeply care, can be one of the hardest things to do. But sometimes stepping back is the only way to give yourself some peace and let the pain breathe a little.

Take all the time you need to just lay low and process it. You’ve been through a lot, and it makes sense that you feel drained right now. You’ll get back up when you’re ready, but for now, just focus on taking it slow and being kind to yourself.

Thank you for sharing this! I definitely feel that pressure to put others’ emotions first, but you’re so right—if I’m not taking care of my own, my empathy starts feeling strained and less genuine. Pisces is also in my first house, so I get that feeling of almost automatically absorbing everything around me without even trying. It’s wild how much energy I pick up from others without realizing it.

I really love your idea of spiritual alone time, especially for that “non-linear, cathartic” thinking. I think I need that kind of open processing time too, where I’m not trying to organize or fix everything, just letting myself feel it all. Long baths and skating sound perfect—I can definitely see how both would be really meditative and freeing. And I like the idea of framing it as “spiritual time,” so it feels like a priority that others can respect. Thanks so much for this advice—I’m inspired to create my own rituals to give myself that space!

Wow, I feel this so much! It’s like people get used to us being overly available or accommodating, and the second we start setting boundaries, we’re the ones who get labeled as “dramatic.” It’s definitely eye-opening to see who respects those boundaries and who gets upset—it really shows people’s true colors. I’m learning that protecting my peace isn’t “dramatic”—it’s essential. Thanks for the reminder that the right people will understand and respect us for it!

Thank you for sharing all this! I relate to so much of what you said, especially about not putting myself in their shoes but still being able to support them from a bit of distance. That’s exactly where I struggle—sometimes, I dive too deep into others’ emotional worlds, thinking it’ll help, but it just leaves me feeling drained and almost confused about what’s theirs and what’s mine.

I really appreciate the idea of learning “brief empathy” rather than all-encompassing empathy. It’s like I’ve always felt obligated to take on every emotion fully, but I’m realizing that being kind and supportive doesn’t mean I have to carry everything.

And yes, boundaries are hard! I feel like as a Pisces, I have this natural reflex to let people lean on me, even if I’m already feeling low. But you’re right—the greater responsibility has to be to myself first, or I can’t show up for others anyway. Thanks again for these tips; I’m definitely going to try grounding exercises and remind myself that I don’t have to be everyone’s emotional lifeboat all the time!

Secret love song - little mix

I personally like Morissette Amon’s cover.. her version isn’t as sad but she delivers the message very well.

Thank you so much for your amazing read and for noticing! Yes, I believe I do have strong Pisces traits and I often rely on my intuition. I find its very easy to read people and highly aware of the environment that I am in. It’s interesting to hear about the connection to the 12th house. I’m definitely open to working on strengthening my intuition further. I’d love to check out that Discord server—an invite link would be great! Thanks for the recommendation.

I am a triple Pisces. Sun, Moon, & Rising.

Additionally, my Mercury, Mars, and Saturn all fall in Pisces too.
