At your core you are Pisces: the dreamy empath who loves with their whole, boundless heart. As a water sign ruled by Neptune & Jupiter, your deepest drives are compassionate and imaginative, and at your best you are compassionate and imaginative.
Your Taurus rising mask
But the first thing people meet is your Taurus ascendant. Taurus rising projects calm, warmth and unshakeable steadiness. You move through the world at your own unhurried pace, radiating a grounded, sensual ease that makes others feel settled just being near you. So before anyone discovers your Pisces heart, they get a calm, reassuring, sensual first impression.
