Born on a cusp: Pisces-Aries

The Element associated with Pisces is Water. Water Signs are emotional and sensitive to others; they respond to the world more intuitively than practically. The Element associated with Aries is Fire. Fire Signs are physical: They tend to respond to the world through direct action rather than planning their moves strategically. Pisces/Aries are compassionate, sensitive and imaginative; they are sympathetic to others' feelings. When presented with a new project or idea, their innate enthusiasm and need for challenge cause them to jump in immediately, leading the way. One of their great skills is reaching beyond normal limitations. They tend to be romantic and sentimental, but they may give in to escapism. They are devoted to their goals and are constantly initiating new projects.

Pisces/Aries are sometimes elusive, refusing to show their real selves. They are thoughtful, sometimes displaying remarkable musical talent. They also tend to want what they want, when they want it. The ego that can manifest itself in Aries causes some Rams and Ram Cusps to feel that they are the centre of the universe. Those born under this Sign may be fascinated with dreams and dream interpretation.

In their leisure time, Pisces/Aries play as hard as they work at the office. They greatly enjoy athletics, as sports give them a positive and healthy outlet for some of their natural aggression and emotional stress. They appreciate both individual challenge, especially aerobics, as well as the group challenge of football and soccer. They especially enjoy sports that bring them into contact with the Element of Water, such as swimming and sailing. They are very artistic and may excel at music and drama. In love relationships, Pisces is playful, devoted, and romantic.

The great strength of the Pisces/Aries-born is in their compassion, energy, initiative and courage. They reach out to others more skilfully than most other Signs, and they especially enjoy helping others reach their fullest potential. Their natural sensitivity makes them one of the most understanding characters of the Zodiac.
