Pisces [link] - Water [link] - Mutable [link]

Pisces people are very emotional and intuitive. Pisces is the sign of sadness, for they are the eternal dreamers...they are the people that wear rose tinted glasses to view the world...and so are left shattered by reality at every turn. Pisces believes in love, and these people are among love's greatest advocates. They are deeply in tune with their emotions and the emotions of those around them. They are almost otherworldly in their nature...they are such beautiful souls and most of them have such a deep connection with the things most others consider fantasy and make-believe.

Pisces ruling planet is Neptune (though before Neptune's discovery it was Jupiter). Pisces is also associated with the moon (because of it's emotional symbolism). Pisces's symbol is two fish tied together at the tail, representing the dualistic nature of mutable signs. These two fish are constantly swimming in opposite directions, never going anywhere (the sign of sadness and self defeat).

We used a blue light to light me from the front and a blue light behind me for the element of water and the emotion of sadness. I tried to represent the aspect of the fish with my pose, by crossing my legs. Overall I attempted a sad atmosphere with this image, but also an otherworldly and mysterious one.

^{Please note that if you are a Pisces and the above does not describe you at all that doesn't mean Astrology is bullshit or that I don't know what I am talking about. You have many more than just one sign in your chart and your rising sign will tell you much more about yourself as a person than your sun sign will. If you are a Pisces with Taurus or Aries rising, it will make you TOTALLY different than a Pisces with Cancer or Gemini rising. You also might not be a Pisces at all if you were born on or near the cusp. Many people mistakenly believe that the dates that horoscopes say are the start and end of each sign are the concrete dates.....that every year on this date in this month this sign starts and this one ends...but it isn't like that. The sun doesn't move on our notion of time, it moves on it's own natural course. Sometimes Pisces starts on February 20th, sometimes it starts on February 23rd...or even the 24th...it depends on the sun. So remember, if the above does not describe you....you might actually be an Aquarius or Aries.}
