Traits of the Sun in Pisces
In Western Astrology, a person's zodiac sign is determined by the position of the Sun in their birth chart. If you were born on March 17th, you are considered a Pisces according to most people in the Western world. The Sun's influence in your birth chart will vary depending on its location, relative position to other planets, and other factors. However, here are some general traits typically found in a native whose Sun is in Pisces:
- Loyal Friend: You stand by those close to you, even during difficult times. Your genuine care for others and recognition of true friendship make you a loyal companion.
- Attractiveness: You possess physical charm, financial stability, and overall attractiveness. These qualities make you popular, especially among the opposite sex.
- Professions Related to Water: Pisces, as a water sign ruled by Jupiter, grants success in careers related to water, boats, and maritime professions.
- Insecurity: Despite your success and public favor, you often feel insecure. You tend to focus on your weaknesses and imperfections, overlooking your many talents and strengths due to your high ideals and perfectionistic tendencies.
- Fortunate Life: Pisces is regarded as one of the most benefic signs of the Zodiac. You are likely to enjoy wealth, fame within your field, and a beautiful family. However, be cautious of potential scandals.
Pisces Careers
Pisceans thrive in professions that allow them to help others and work behind the scenes. You are fortunate in life and unlikely to experience poverty. However, be mindful of overcommitting to various projects and neglecting personal time.
Recommended careers: Anything cultured or charitable, such as artists, doctors, teachers, nurses, priests, nuns, monks, or non-profit and social justice workers.
Careers to avoid: Pisceans are free-spirited individuals who resonate with creative and compassionate roles. Stifling or exploitative fields, such as office work in for-profit corporations or industries like animal agriculture, tobacco, or pharmaceuticals, may not align with your nature.
Pisces Mantras
A mantra is a powerful phrase that uplifts and cleanses the mind, heart, and consciousness. By practicing mantra meditation, you can experience relief from suffering and negativity. Here are two mantras that can benefit Pisceans:
- ॐ वामनाय नमः (Om vamanaya namaha): This mantra is specifically beneficial for Pisceans.
- हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे (Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare Hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare): This maha-mantra, or "super mantra," is universal and beneficial for individuals born in any zodiac sign.
