Positions
Descendant in Pisces
Modern
With Pisces on your Descendant you are drawn to partners who are gentle, compassionate, and imaginative, the ones who feel deeply and offer a soft, accepting kind of love. You look across at tenderness and dream, often because that boundless sensitivity is what you keep guarded in yourself. The shadow is idealizing the partner, choosing the wounded soul to rescue, blurring where you end and they begin, or projecting your own softness, until compassion comes with clear sight and clean edges.
Traditional (Hellenistic)
With Pisces on the seventh cusp the partner is signified by Jupiter in his nocturnal house, with the moderns adding Neptune for its sensitivity, and comes as a kind, compassionate, and yielding figure of soft edges and strong feeling. The native is drawn to a mate of mercy and imagination and is well served when the lord is dignified, but when afflicted the bond runs to confusion, sacrifice, or deception, and the open enemy works by undermining rather than open force. Weigh the lord of the seventh with care.
