The Cusp of Sensitivity: A dreamy, compassionate place

The interesting mix of the Aquarius and the Pisces on the Cusp can often lead to amazing results.

Aquarius is a fixed air sign ruled by the planets Uranus and Saturn linked with discipline and hard work, progress and mastering in eccentric things, such as technology. The Pisces sign is a mutable water sign ruled by the planets Jupiter and Neptune. While Jupiter is linked with expansion of all things, Neptune is more about illusion and disillusionment, fantasy, art, and spirituality. Aquarius-Pisces cusps are eccentric, creative, open-minded, reformist, compassionate, and spiritualist. This union marks for individuals with the duality of life.



The dreaminess of a Pisces when in combination with the eccentric and highly confident Aquarius gives a great output. They enjoy both scientific and creative works, love to become a part of something big and life-changing. In the process of helping others, these individuals may end up investing too much of their emotions, getting lost in the process. Having the influence of the water element, they are highly receptive and sensitive, often being taken for granted and hurt in the process. While this nature of theirs is quite admirable, too much rejection and abuse may make them aloof and timid.

Spiritual, artistic, peace-loving and friendly, Aquarius-Pisces cuspers are highly original people. This is the cusp most likely to be labeled "offbeat" or "eccentric," and its citizens are stimulated by visionary ideas and new experiences. They are highly intellectual, however not so good with practical details and follow-through.

These cuspers may be social or shy, or they may be a peculiar mix of both. This is because pending time with others is a great stress relief, but at the same time they are so sensitive they often choose to hide out alone and escape into their imaginations instead.

Aquarius-Pisces is also arguably the most intuitive cusp placement, lending a naturally psychic and compassionate view of the world. Delving into spiritual matters and philosophical ideals is much more important to these folks than simply managing the details of day-to-day life. For this reason they may lose things, forget appointments, show up late or stand you up. But don't be mad -- it's only because they were too preoccupied thinking about how make the world a better place on a much deeper level.

The big thing about Pisces is that, they get along with people on an emotional level. They kind of walk into a room full of people and map out the room based on emotions. If they meet somebody new, they can act in such a way that the new person would like them.

It is not uncommon for a Pisces to be very well like and well respected regardless of where they go. They know the give and take of emotional signals.

The Aquarius, on the other hand, tends to have his or head in the air. Aquarius is always full of very interesting ideas. These ideas, while exciting to the Aquarius, can also be very debilitating, because it is very easy to live in a world of ideas where you basically are just wishing and hoping your life away. At the same time you are not really taking any concrete actions to get a better job, live at a better place, put more food on the table and provide for your family.

Eventually, it reaches a point where the Aquarius feels that he or she is always the smartest or most perceptive person in the room, but deep down there is a deep well of resentment because he or she really has not lived up to his or her highest potential.

What happens when you take elements of the different horoscope signs? You would be surprised that the result is simply just the addition or amalgamation of these different personality types, the result actually produces something completely different.

Your Emotional Vulnerability Might Be Your Greatest Strength

The interesting thing about the Aquarius Pisces cusp is, they have this element of what you see is what you get. People find this reassuring. Even if they might not find the Aquarius Pisces cusp all that interesting or even all that nice, they like predictability, they like transparency.

Eventually, this might result in people liking the Aquarius Pisces cusp. In many cases, the Aquarius Pisces cusp does not feel a need to put on a show that he or she is stronger than he or she truly is.

This sense of honesty and emotional availability not only makes them great friend material, but it also enables them to be perceived favorably by people looking for new romance in their lives.

People Respect Aquarius Pisces Emotional Authenticity

When you take the idealism of the Aquarius and you cross it with the emotional depth of the Pisces, you get a person that tends to have strong emotional authenticity. You have to understand that we live in a world that is often plastic.

People are fake.

There are a lot of synthetic relationships. People say things that they do not really mean. People talk and talk and talk, but none of it really matters. There is just so much fake emotional fluff out there
that when somebody arrives at the scene that looks real, and talks real and wear his or her heart on his or her sleeve, people pay attention.

People might not like the person, people might not fall in love with the person, but you can bet that people will respect that person. You have to understand that people are so scared about being real, that they would go to some effort and trouble to fake it.

This is really a tragedy, because people would respect you more if you kept it real. People would respect you more if you actually meant what you say and say what you mean.

Do Not Become a Prisoner of Your Ideals

The main reason why the Aquarius Pisces cusp has such a strong potential for interpersonal success, is because this person has ideals regarding emotional authenticity.

This person tries to live up to these ideals. People respect those ideals because, for the most part, people feel that they are trapped regarding this phantom mime or act they have to put on so they can move ahead in the world.

When somebody breaks into the scene that is the real deal, they tend to gravitate towards that person. This should not be surprising.

However, the downside for the Aquarius Pisces cusp, in this particular situation, is that, their ideals might become a prison. Seriously.

This happens when they expect other people to subscribe to their ideals. What is wrong with this picture? You are entitled to your ideals.

You are entitled to a certain picture of the world. However, you are not entitled to expect everybody else to subscribe to that picture. You have to understand, there are billions of people in the world and there are billions of different ways of seeing yourself in the world. That is how it works.

The moment you try to basically expect other people to see the power of your ideals and automatically accept it as their own, you can essentially become the prisoner of the appeal of your ideals. When this happens, you start behaving like a typical Virgo.

You basically start comparing how things really are with the way things should be in your head. As you probably can already tell, this would lead to a very bad ending.

The reality is that, the world revolves in its own axis and it has its own rules and it will do its own thing, we are just in it for the ride. We can try to buck it or we can try to work with what we are dealt. That is the bottom line. If you insist on your own ideals, chances are you will be playing a losing game.

Do Not Use Your Emotions As Your Only Guide To The World

In keeping with the theme of emotional authenticity, you have to understand that you have to, from time to time; use your head as well. You cannot just make an emotional map of the world and expect that map to always lead you to the right place at the right time.

It does not work that way. You have to also use your reason and logic and a realistic understanding of human nature. People are not always kind. People are not always good to each other. People do not always do the right thing.

So, do not become a prisoner of your emotional idealism. If so, you will find yourself often reacting. When you react, chances are you would become frustrated and anxious and unhappy.

The bottom line is that, the Aquarius Pisces cusp has some solid foundation for personal greatness. The key is to overcome certain biases for the Aquarius Pisces cusp to reach his or her fullest potential.
