In your child, there is a deeply sensitive and emotional soul, often filled with uncertainty about which direction to “swim” in. One reason for this is their inner ability to absorb signals—moods, emotions—from everyone around them, as if they were a little sea sponge. If other people are sad, angry, or unhappy, your child will find it difficult not to share those feelings. Their own emotions are also easily touched, and when this happens, tears come quickly, no matter how hard they try to hold them back. You should gradually teach them certain techniques of detachment—how to separate their own feelings from those of others and understand that they are not responsible for them.
“Ah, Mom’s little helper!”—you might think, and not without reason. They will help you if they sense that you truly need it. But more likely, they will ask you to help injured animals, baby birds that have fallen from their nest, or a struggling classmate.
A possible downside of this empathy is that Pisces, in their desire for self-sacrifice, may sometimes feel like a martyr carrying an unfair burden that others do not understand. Or, if inclined toward negativity, they may develop feelings that distort their individuality toward pessimism and negative emotions. Your child needs to learn how to avoid unpleasant situations and find constructive ways to deal with them. You should guide them, for example, toward art or music. Let them attend painting, dance, or music lessons; encourage theatrical play, and find beautifully illustrated books of fairy tales and fantasy for them. Be attentive to this child and make time to show them the wonders and beauty of the world.
