Pisces Sun

Drive: To transcend, to merge, to create, to feel everything — and to find the home that awaits somewhere between this world and the next.
Strength: Extraordinary empathy, spiritual gifts, creative genius, universal compassion, and the ability to see beauty in what everyone else has written off.
Challenge: Having a self, maintaining limits, staying present in embodied reality, and choosing genuine action over beautiful avoidance.
Aquarius Rising
Air · Uranus
