In Life:
The Pisces gay man has so many subtle colors in his palette, it is hard to know where to begin. The phrase that best describes this complex and kooky man is imaginative healer. Both qualities – the ability to heal and power of imagination – are closely associated with Neptune, his ruling planet. Neptune is the planet that is most closely linked with magic, and magic is something that every Pisces man believes in. The straight boys may be in denial, of course, but the more “in tune” gay Pisces boys know that a world of illusion comes alive every time they close their eyes to dream.

These fellows are just so damn vivid! Some Pisces men work in professions that are linked to healing or helping. They make great social workers, are drawn to hospital environments, and have a literal “healing touch” that they use to help the aged or the sick. You can expect to see many a Pisces man on the front line fighting for the rights of people with AIDS.

These men are almost always gentle by nature, but just watch them do battle when it’s for a cause or, more likely, a person they love. They are activists in the most personal sense. It’s not just “political” for them.

You can also find gay Pisces fellows working in the arts. Their imagination knows no bounds, which is why they make great performers, writers, and artists. The lucky ones tap into their storytelling abilities early in life and develop their gift for not censoring themselves. That’s what makes their art so pure, emotional, and immediate. Some Pisces men struggle to fit their talents into the “real world.” It’s not easy, but if someone believes in them, they can make it.

Pisces men are so deeply sensitive and emotional that almost all of them run the risk of substance abuse, sexual addiction, or involvement with an active addict. Being born at the end of the zodiacal wheel, these guys all have a world-weary wisdom, which they at times try to deny. No wonder it feels easier for them to do a shot, pop a pill, or fuck till they can’t remember who they are, rather than to deal with the pains of the world that they are supersensitive to.

Their environment affects them deeply. They can psychically sense the mood in a room, and they absorb it. Being so damn mutable is not easy for them. They often search for a calm, stable place to settle down in, but they soon realize that they will carry waves of feeling and fear with them their whole lives. Their biggest challenge is to bestow some of that huge, all-encompassing Piscean compassion on themselves.
