Pisces, duality, sacrifice,etc...
This topic was created in the Pisces forum by hydorah on Monday, March 17, 2014 and has 2 replies.
This some brainstorming I've been doing on the subject, I'll be wrong in some parts, but that's just a train-of-thought experiment, hence the style .
Pisces and Gemini are the two signs that have the duality in them, they can see/understand two sides (or multiple sides) to every situation. It might not be obvious to some pisces but even unbeknownst to themselves they have the ability to comprehend and be intimate with the POV of even the things/people they don't like.
The difference between gemini and pisces is that geminis' attitude is to NOT make a choice, whereas pisces attitude is to try to make a choice. For pisces that means internalizing two points of view and trying to find a winning strategy, like trying to find order from chaos. It is a process that requires time and maturation. Geminis try to marry different attitudes, while not going too much in depth. Geminis are quick and remain above and pisces are slow and deep.
Duality is like seeing both sides of a coin. the multitasking gemini is like a coin that is constantly spinning. Pisces OTOH is like a coin that remains stable for a more or less longer time, then suddenly flips and changes point of view more or less violently.
Everything that relied on the coin is thrown overboard. That is the value of pisces sacrifice, it is not solely self-sacrifice, it can be a sacrifice of everything (and the ego goes in there as well because pisces generaly don't really attach to an ego). now pisces are good for sometimes putting other people's interests before their own and sacrifice themselves because they don't really have an ego, but that is mostly seen in young pisces and with age pisces learn generally pretty well to become impervious to other people's sufferings.
If a pisces reaches (or think trhey have reached) a winning strategy they can then chose to stick to that point of view and voluntarly close their eyes on things that they are very intimate with, even including other people's sufferings (hence the mengele-type) or other winning tactics and riches(ben-laden-type).
But the inherent duality makes the pisces world like a fishbowl. That means even after rushing as fast and as far as they can they'll still end up back at the crossroads and the coin is doomed to flip once again.

This is just a personal addendum, because I find it refreshing to read the above (or - validating?) I'm a Pisces with moon in Gemini - and this^ is very familiar territory... The piscean in me has to meditate alone for quiet answers, because in daily and social life, I am lost... (does anybody know the Fast Show sketch of a man in a pub who agress with everything his 2 friends say - even tho they are arguing?! I'm afraid I can relate to that...). The sense of understanding 'everything', subsuming change and multiple viewpoints from moment to moment, predominates - and can be quite exhausting! As a child I used to obsessively have to make order out of things from moment to moment (but then one day I just let go, I think). Hard for me to disentangle the Gemini-ness from the Piscean-ness, tho, so it's interesting to read the above comparison. Ta.
