Pisces Cocktail
Happy Birthday Pisces, the sign most likely to be an alcoholic. The birth charts of alcoholics were studied and found that those with prominent placement of Pisces in their natal chart were more prone to alcoholism than those without. However, not all Pisces drink like fish… a lot of them are dry. And mostly, but not always, it’s because they partied too hard in the past. Some Pisces–like every sign–just don’t like booze…Simple as that. But it’s ironic, isn’t it, that St. Patrick’s Day falls during Pisces? The reason people of this sign are tempted by the lure of drugs and alcohol is that they are using them as an escape mechanism. Pisces is so sensitive to the harsh energies here on Earth, that life is sometimes just too much to bear and they have to get away from it all. Vodka makes a great train.
Other traits of this sign include: idealistic, sensitive, empathic, private-natured, emotional, psychic, dreamy, heavenly, spiritual, ethereal, imaginative, creative, intuitive, compassionate, escapism-prone, serenity-loving, Highly Seductive! Pisces are heart breakers… they have that special “je ne sais quoi.” Women are attracted to the soft, feminine side of their nature, which can be hard to find in men! That said; don’t think for a minute that the fish isn’t a ruthless killer shark on the flip side. After all, there are two fish, remember? And they swim in opposite directions. Pisces can be super aggressive, ambitious, competitive and successful. So much so, that before Virgo pushed them out of the top millionaire spot, they held that title. I’m quoting Susan Miller here from a few years back so maybe they’ve moved up again, I honestly don’t know.
Famous Pisces include Eva Longoria, Albert Einstein, Adam Levine, George Washington, Cindy Crawford, Alexander McQueen, Tommy Hilfiger, Kurt Cobain, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Carrie Underwood, Daniel Craig, Ke$ha, Steve Jobs, Carrie Underwood, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Willis, Dr. Seuss, Johnny Cash, Kurt Cobain, Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah, Ashley Greene, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber.
So what happens when two dreamy Pisces dreamboats collide? Internet chatter–lots of it. Rihanna and Justin Bieber allegedly “hooked up.” Really, no pun intended. The whole thing sounds a little fishy, but it just might be true. And this, the story goes, is the reason Selena dumped Justin. Apparently, she’s devastated. Seriously though, 19 and 21? Kidz, go have some fun and if it’s meant to me it will… that’s what Dr. Gwen says.
But let me get back to Astrology because I’m starting to feel like Donald Trump dispensing advice… So, because Pisces’ ruling planet was discovered after the “inner” planets, Pisces was considered ruled by Jupiter up until 1846. But when the “outer” planet Neptune, was discovered, Pisces was assigned joint rulership under both: big Jupiter and watery Neptune.
As a result, Pisces is thought to possess gifts from both planets, Jupiter and Neptune. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and because of this, Pisces is infused with expansive qualities in the mental and emotional realms. Neptune is a planet of the deep. Its energy tugs at the recesses of the mind, and subconscious desires. Jupiter amplifies Neptune’s watery energies in Pisces.
The stone of an avocado is huge, and that‘s why Jupiter calls it her own. The avocado can be easily called a Pisces! Watch out, this one goes down real smooth… Just like two fish in love. Speaking of love, my old bar manager came up with this drink… Cheers!
