Pisces: The Disappearing Man
The Pisces Man:
Pisces is the natural ruler of the 12th house, and is ruled by the planet Neptune. Piscean energy is dreamy, mysterious, private, and secretive. Pisceans often have escapist tendencies, and require alone time to recharge their buttons. Like Aquas, they live in their own world. Unlike Aquas, however, Pisces live in a dream world. They can often be found daydreaming about their hopes and dreams for the future. Pisceans are incredibly compassionate and sensitive people who find the real world a harsh, cold place. This is why they tend to escape to their private dream world quite often; negative energy affects them greatly, so they need a break from life every so often to recharge their batteries.. At the same time, their desire to escape the everyday world can land them in difficult situations.
Pisces is a mutable sign, which indicates they are changeable. Pisceans are chameleon-like, and can adapt to new situations, people, and places very easily. This changeable energy can cause difficulties in their personal relationships.
A Piscean's vision of the perfect relationship is often unrealistic and based on fantasy. It is difficult for them to find a partner who lives up to their ideals. Real relationships take work; they involve compromise, conflict, and responsibility, which are things Pisceans tend to dislike. For this reason, they tend to be attracted to unattainable (i.e. "taken") partners and unrequited love situations. In these situations, Pisceans won't have to face the "realities" of relationships, and they can continue fantasizing about and idealizing the unattainable person. In addition, Pisceans are notoriously indecisive and tend to have a roaming eye, which can make choosing a partner even more difficult for them.
People involved with Pisceans in a relationship often complain that their Piscean lovers tend to disappear for days, weeks, and even months. When a Pisces disappears, he is escaping reality. Perhaps the relationship has gotten too "real" for him. Perhaps you two got into a fight, and the negativity pushed him away temporarily. Some Pisceans have several relationships going on at once (they're mutable, remember?), so they may disappear to cater to their other lovers. Most likely, however, he just needs space and alone time to recharge his batteries.
Pisceans may flow in and out of your life at a moment's notice, which can be aggravating for their partners. Individuals who seek responsible and dependable mates may have a difficult time with Piscean individuals. Pisceans can usually get their lovers' attention back due to the fact that they are romantic and sensitive, and have the ability to seduce people easily. Pisceans sincerely do not mean to hurt others; in fact, hurting others is the last thing they would ever want to do.
So, what is a girl to do? How do you deal with a guy like this? The first thing to do is to appeal to his emotions in a very gentle way. If he senses anger or negativity, he might swim away. Appreciate him for who he is, and do not take advantage of his kind nature. Appeal to his spiritual side; individuals who are overly-materialistic turn him off. Patience, tolerance, and acceptance are the key to having a relationship with a Piscean. Be a strong, reliable partner to him. Feel free to take the lead and make him feel taken care of and cared for. Pisceans are also known for their wandering eyes, so learn to handle your jealousy. They also suffer from low self-esteem, so stroke his ego.
Once a Pisces is in love with you, you will become his whole world. While he will still disappear from time to time, he will always swim right back to you.

A Brief Guide to the Zodiac Signs: Libra to Pisces
The zodiac signs are an important part of astrology, and well known in popular versions of the Art, forming the basis of many 'horoscope' columns in newspapers and magazines. In this article we briefly consider the fundamental meanings of Libra through to Pisces.
Libra (ruled by Venus)
Libra is the sign of balance as is aptly symbolised by its motif, the scales. It is concerned with fairness and justice. Libra often has a natural diplomacy, a stylishness and grace. It is an air sign and is well able to abstract and appreciate both sides of a debate or argument. Libra is naturally attracted to relationships and social contacts, as it seeks 'the other' in which to find a counterbalance to itself.
Scorpio (ruled by Mars and Pluto)
The Scorpion, symbol of Scorpio, is not a creature to be messed with. If you get too close and it starts to feel threatened, it may sting with unparalleled viciousness. Scorpio is a water sign, one that feels deeply. It is sensitive yet often hides its vulnerability, like Cancer, beneath its hard shell exterior. Scorpio likes nothing more than to get to the bottom of things, to discover secrets and what is underneath the surface. It is a master detective, with a probing, x-ray like vision into your deepest depths.
Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter)
This is the sign of aiming for the future, just as the archer looks heavenward, his bow and arrow poised to shoot to the stars. Sagittarius is the sign of big dreams and of looking forward to grand adventures and challenges. This sign is concerned with the big picture, with finding the meaning and overall themes in any situation. Sagittarius is a far-sighted sign and can often get bored with the details or the routines of life which aren't grand enough for his visionary streak. He is wonderful however for inspiring you with his ideas and dreams.
Capricorn (ruled by Saturn)
The sign of the mountain goat begins at midwinter, when the Sun is at its lowest point in the sky. This symbolism suggests one of Capricorn's themes, which is journeying on even in the dark, in the bleakness of winter. Capricorn is a sign that keeps going when things are tough, and like its animal, the mountain goat, it climbs higher and higher, surefooted as it conquers the mountain. Capricorn is a serious sign, one attuned to the realities of life, and one able to manage the most difficult of practical situations.
Aquarius (ruled by Saturn and Uranus)
Aquarius, the last of the air signs, is symbolised by the water-bearer, a human figure. Aquarius is associated with humanity in general, and is known for its compassion and egalitarian approach to life. This is the reformer, the progressive and the social activist. Aquarius is a sign of great intellect, with a large capacity to abstract and detach from the emotions of a particular situation. It is the sign of rational appraisal, and possesses a cool logic from which to survey the principles of the task at hand.
Pisces (rules by Jupiter and Neptune)
The last sign of the zodiac, symbolised by the fishes swimming in different directions, is a difficult one to get hold of. It is a chameleon, a paradox, and a culmination of all the signs that have gone before. Pisces is water of the most universal nature, and is associated with the vast seas of the collective unconscious. It is the sign most resonant with escapism and also mysticism. This is a dreamy sign, difficult to catch and pin down.
