The Astrology of Kink: The Polymorphously Perverse Pisces
October 10, 2008 by Laura F. Walton
Leather and lace, fringe and fetish … in this series, we’ll take a peek at the kinkier side of the zodiac. Each sign has its own distinct sexual flavor; by combining the various tastes you find in the natal chart, each person’s unique sexual recipe begins to emerge. We’ve finally reached that most changeable, most unfathomable sign of the Zodiac, the Pisces.
Pisces is the most mutable of the mutable signs. Those influenced by this sign are born actors; they can be anything, to anyone, at any time. They can play the top, the bottom, the middle, the outside; one of a twosome, threesome, or fourteensome; the exhibitionist or the voyeur; the boy, the girl, both, or neither — in fact, if you can imagine it, Pisces can do it, and probably has. But … why?
The key is that Pisceans derive satisfaction almost solely from giving their partners pleasure. So, you have a Piscean friend who’s suddenly gone from impeccably-clad, black-tie dominatrix to wispy, giggling, pastel ditz? She’s changed lovers. Her entire persona will draw itself subtly around the new partner’s tastes; she’ll morph into the girl of his or her dreams, with very few compunctions or self-doubts.
It’s quite natural and it’s almost subconscious. They’re good at it, too. Pisces influences (particularly the Sun, the Ascendant, or Venus) give a kind of intuition that other folks call “psychic.” When a Fish tunes into their lover’s unspoken sexual wavelengths, the result is nothing short of fantasy fulfillment; they take great pride in their ability to extract and enact even the most carefully hidden desires.
Most are fundamentally bisexual, and both sexes often remain attractively gender-fluid. One of the few things that tend to remain constant include an enjoyment of heightened sensation; many Pisceans like a little pain with their pleasure, as well as long, drawn-out teasing sessions or sensual play.
The Piscean sex drive is very instinctive and often cyclical. When they’re in heat (with Pisces, this is a completely apt description) everyone within a hundred miles knows it; they radiate a kind of deep sexuality that is similar to Scorpio’s yet slightly more dispersed. Small mobs of admirers accumulate overnight, like alley cats when a housebound Persian is feeling frisky.
Here’s a little clue: Pisceans don’t actually live in their own bodies. Their sensitivity seems to reside some few feet away, at least. They can have extremely intimate contact (some would call it “sex”) without ever touching someone; artistic Pisceans make good use of this, using the sexual/sensual sensitivity to fully engage with whatever person, object, or scene they’re in love with at the moment.
Some of the best parts of Piscean sex happen in this non-contact way, and some Fish remain perpetually disappointed by the act itself. They then compulsively seek out new sexual experiences, trying to physically match the psychic merging that is so familiar. Until these Fish learn that physical merging is one thing and psychic merging another, each to be enjoyed on its own terms, they can be restless, self-destructive, and completely unreliable.
The physical drive is strong, but not at all assertive; for instance, the Pisces Mars is sensual and amorous, but rarely aggressive. It can be sneaky. If you’ve ever had accidental sex (say, you were snoozing in a big chair with a new beau and whoops! you both wake up in need of a towel and some Chinese takeout) you probably encountered the Pisces Mars in action. Like water dripping on stone, it’s gentle, subtle, and effective — unless you’re the jackhammer type, of course.
Pisceans are mutability incarnate. Like water itself, they can change shape in an instant to fit almost any situation. Some folks find this annoying, but some find it fascinating and beautiful; if you’re one of the latter, a Piscean lover may suit your tastes. Be prepared to go all the way, though. Deep dreams and fantasies are Pisces’ territory, and they’ll never be happy with superficial facades. If they find a fantasy they like, they’ll act it out for you, as close to perfectly as possible. And if your wildest dreams happen to coincide with theirs, you could have a dream lover for life. Make a wish….

What a scaringly accurate and great description! Fits me to a “T”, except the bisexual part. I’ve never been attracted to other women.
Here’s a little clue: Pisceans don’t actually live in their own bodies. Their sensitivity seems to reside some few feet away, at least. They can have extremely intimate contact (some would call it “sex”) without ever touching someone; artistic Pisceans make good use of this, using the sexual/sensual sensitivity to fully engage with whatever person, object, or scene they’re in love with at the moment.
Can you explain this a little bit more? I am a pisces rising. Where is my sensitivity? So, lets say I live in my coffee cup (I’m holding a coffee cup right now as I am typing this). So, when someone caresses my coffee cup, I could feel aroused?
you can get off on an energetic connection with another person without physical contact. I doubt your coffee cup will get you off.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!/1
I just thought my imagination was so strong.
Reminds me of that scene from the movie 40 Days and 40 Night, where the chick got off by a flower.
I have had so much fun reading this series! All in all it was excellent.
I knew that I’d have to wait until the end to see “mine” as my sun and venus are in pisces, though I had a little bit with aries (mars) and scorpio (asc) this was certainly my defining moment.
I was certainly not disappointed. My lover (remember him, the cancer sun/mars/venus boy?) thought it was written about me personally. No one believes that he can bring me over the top without laying a finger on me. Part him (yes, the mars/venus/sun conjunction) certainly, but he claims no one else is “free” enough to allow it to happen. That is what she was talking about – for the person with the coffee.
In the kink community I cannot count how many times I’m asked “dom or sub?” I usually smile and answer “I’m an opportunist”. I feel like printing out this article and handing it to them when they as that question because it describes me much better than my three word, non-committal answer.
The only thing I’m disappointed over is that the series is done. Bravo. Thanks so much Laura. Thanks Jeffrey for hosting it. This one was definitely worth waiting for.
May, if your coffee cup ever does get you off, let me know…I’ll take mine with skim and three sugars, please.
Did Jeff’s response help? It’s how I’d describe it, as a Fish myself. Pisces rising is usually just as sensitive as Pisces Sun (sometimes more so, depending on the rest of the 12th) so I’d expect you’ve noticed a tendency to feel what other people are thinking or feeling or wanting or hiding or are too scared to mention aloud. In fact, I’d go so far as to say there’s a tendency to feel what other people actually are inside, secrets and layers and defensiveness aside.
It doesn’t get much more intimate than that. Sometimes a Pisces-influenced person can achieve more intimacy in an hour’s conversation than a person has achieved in a lifetime with their partners.
It’s a fact of life, but it’s tough to explain without resorting to words like “auras” and “psychic fields”, and the connotations of those words grate against my Capricorn Moon to no end. I hope someone else chimes in….
And thanks Valkyri! We must’ve posted at exactly the same time; I wish the series weren’t over, too, but there’ll be more on this topic, I feel quite sure
And I think I’ll be borrowing your line…just a smile and three words, “I’m an opportunist.”
Laura, I think this is your best one of this series. That's a compliment to you from my Pisces Mars squared by Neptune. Pisces sexual energy is so elusive & hard to define & yet you've done a marvelous job.
Sorry to see your series end, may be you'll write something else?
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this series.
You’re a wonderful writer and truly insightful.
Laura will be doing a series on Venus-Mars squares, hopefully for each sign combination if there’s enough interest. I agree that she’s an awesome writer and am happy to have her on board!
fooeey.Exept for one or two women I know, and I suppose Jeffrey,too most Pisceans are just full of it.And I don’t mean sexuality.I mean another word that begins with letter S.
Pisceans “tune in” allright, and pretend.
sexy my foot.
She completely forgot the feet, but okay.
mmmmmm yummy Pisces lovers! wooohooo!!!!!
Lol, Fallen Angel, that’s because I find the feet thing highly overrated, and so do many of the Pisceans I’ve known and canvassed. I mean, a foot massage is better than a whack with a big stick (well, sometimes) but it’s not the huge turn-on it’s supposed to be, at least not for me.
I’m funny about my feet in other ways, and like to go barefoot, but that’s about it. Anyone else?
niceeee i’m bi too! and i def need to lay off the physical thing and focus on finding psuchic connection
I agree with the feet thing. Not a big turn on to me, and I’m a double pisces. Although my feet are perpetually cold! (that’s not a metaphor into relationships… i think
I’m a Pisces and although I’m not into feet, I’m way into how women use their feet, e.g.,. dancing.
Now that makes sense to me. I’m a musician and I can’t stand when people aren’t moving in the crowd!
@ ink: “Although my feet are perpetually cold! (that’s not a metaphor into relationships… i think
”
I’ve dated quite a few fishies and there is always something going on with their feet! I was a manicurist for a while and I always end up tending to their feet. I don’t know what it is just every time I am with a Pisces as soon as I see his feet I feel the need to put them in my hands and fix them and make them feel good.
I’m having a sense of deja vu, perhaps I’ve written that before.
Also, the cold feet and relationships thing? No way with Pisces…you guys aren’t afraid to just throw yourself into something with a woman…women always ask if you guys are being sincere because it gets really emotional really fast and I have to tell them to suspend their disbelief…it’s always “Instant Fairy Tale! Just Add Pisces!!
@ angelineelise
So true! I find the most difficult aspect of getting into a relationship is having to tone it down several notches… I’m getting better at it with age though. Hopefully I can find someone to match the intensity though (scorpio women?)
True bliss is the intimacy that occurs between a male Pisces and femaie Pisces (and perhaps the older, more experienced the better, both in our 50’s)! The melting together is unlike anything one could have ever imagined! Although not together at the moment (another posting), I cannot imagine that either of us will be satisfied in nearly the same way with another. That was one reason for getting back together the last time we broke up, as it is a totally surreal experience. I am not sure how he feels, as he is in his cave at the moment, but the draw is as strong as gravity is for me. Once this occurs, are we desitned to keep coming back together to re-create it (yes, meaning in this lifetime)?
I love, like, enjoy the part of this fantasy land of sex and experience throughout the eyes of a moment
settling for less than standard of pisces by drawing the subtle tastes around
the new partner’s tastes
pisceans leave the lovers who can’t shape or conform into their full potential or unwillingness to coop with the hidden high drive in the bedroom scene by pisces.
false, fake, plastic, and superficial lovers must leave the room of this undoing mindset which can not keep even the quietness, wetness, and scaleness of pisces in the harbors of such kink and entertainment.
pleasure and pain are accompanied with grace and beauty if only they can meet or exceeds the Pisces level of pleasure and pain. Hence, bondage is in the equation for you and all the others.
where does this lead you to?
physical drive strong but rarely aggressive
wishy-washy we may be as if it works or doesn’t match the fantasy = dreams = reality equstion.
physically we want it the sex and the package if the mindsets are in tune then the cosmos are more than enough for the first episode and the ones following after.
Amazingly, I am completely shocked that some signs of the horoscopes run away from such bondage for the fears overlayed by the sign of born, and align stars.
peace out, love, and prayer
David shout to the kink polymorphously perverse pisces
Wow,thanx. Everything you said Laura is spookily close except the bi thing. I always throw myself into relationships and love to please my partner before myself, I get off on her getting off. This article has given me a clearer understanding of myself thank you Laura and Thank you again Jeff
yes it’s all true – I’m a male Pisces and I’m so quiet and innocent on the surface but underneath there’s that kinky side – oh lordy. I’m completely transmutable and will morph into anything to please a lover. I’ve been caned by a girl, worn all her clothes and underwear when making love and generally acted out all manner of fantasies and role-plays. I get intense satisfaction from knowing that a girl is getting pleasure in ways that she hasn’t before and in ways which surprises her.
wow. spot on. im a fish and you got me to the “T”…i didnt used to agree with you on the feet thing – but ive noticed that its true. We Do have feet quirks. Mine is detesting wearing shoes (despite my love of purchasing them). However you are right in that i dont find interaction with feet in any way, disgusting wold be apt! This was a great read. thanks!
I love the title… thats me
I am a pisces girl and is this is crazy true, except the bi thing for me.
I suggest pisces girls should try to stay away from alcohol when ,”in heat”- because not only does it enhance your loving factor, drunk people and sober alike might want to take advantage of your ultra feminine sexuality, and you will be an a very submissive state, lusting.. Only to regret it later.
Pisces people, like myself can make love to anything with just their eyes. And make it nearly impossible for someone to stop looking at them after the stare penetrates the other persons eyes.
I also believe pisces more than any other sign ( from me and friends alike ), loves to be dominated. The part about pleasure increased with a little pain, applies strongly.
Pushed up against the wall, dominated completely, is more the roll I believe we like to assume.
The rough sex, maybe not kinky ropes and handcuffs, but passion- us seemingly weak girls wont mind a couple battle bruises and scars in the name of good sex.

WOW pisces women are some serious freaks, so u have never been with a woman before???
