Sensitive, emotional Pisces, you process breakups better than most
signs. You're an old soul with a little bit of a tragic bent to you.
If you're not involved in a breakup, you're usually supporting someone
else who is. With your deep compassion and inbred wisdom, you
know how to handle matters of the heart.
Pisces is the sign of the nurse, a natural caretake. While you sacrifice
much for others, though, it can be hard for you to request the same
support. Be sure to lean on all those friends who turned to you when
they were heartbroken!
Although you may appear fragile and broken, you possess an amazing inner resilience. You're a tough cookie behind those watery, soulful eyes. Make sure you tap into this reservoir of strength. You're a survivor, the last sign of the zodiac said to have lived the lifetimes of every sign. Staying involved in healthy activities and social circles is key to your healing. You feel the pain of everyone around you, and sometimes, you blur the line between their troubles and your own. Just because people are suffering in the world, doesn't mean that you should live an unhappy life.
Don't be a victim.
Go ahead, weep dramatically on your pillow, eat a box of chocoate or write
lovelorn poetry. Pull out all the breakup bells and whistles. But please, don't
ever buy into the story that you're a victim. Pisces have a bad habit of believing
this fantasy, then working hard to convince everyone of their tragic victimhood.
You'll tell your done-wrong story to anyone who will listen (often that person,
hoping to "rescue" you, becomes your next romantic partner). Remember, it takes
two to tango. If a harmless little pity party has turned into a manipulative
plot to avoid responsibility, check yourself. You'll find far more power --
and dignity -- if you truly examine your own role in the relationship's breakdown.
Otherwise, you're doomed to repeat the same problems again and again, only
with different partners.
Nurture yourself.
Pisces rules the subconscious, and yours is often cluttered with all kinds
of negative emotions. Find a way to tap into your complex feelings
and "clean the filter" of your mind. Working with a therapist can
be extremely beneficial. Otherwise, you may stuff down pain with compulsive
behaviors like overeating. One Pisces we know always bakes
cupcakes when her love life hits the rocks. Pisces is prone to addicitions,
so be rigorous about keeping balance in your life. Drown your sorrows in
a warm pot of tea instead of an "adult beverage." As a water sign, nothing
soothes you like your natural element. Spend time by the ocean or take relaxing
baths.
Don't torture yourself.
Pisces is the sign that rules guilt, and you can be quite the tortured soul.
You'll beat yourself up for years if a relationship doesn't
work out, endlessly cataloging your own mistakes and obsessing over what
you did wrong. This emotional self-mutilation leaves you mired in an unhealthy
mindset, and prevents you from moving on. One Pisces we know pined away seven
years for his ex. (Once she came back around and married him, though, he
claimed to have "lost
his attraction.")
Make sure it's really love, and not just a love of drama, that you're missing.
A Fish hooked on anything is never good -- and that goes for a toxic relationship.
