Pisces rising symbolizes that you're extremely impressionable and receptive to your environment, soaking up psychic energy like a sponge.  Because you're so sensitive to harsh and negative energy, please learn to choose whom you hang out with and where you put your body.  You're romantic and a dreamer, and need to focus on the here and now: live your life; don't dream your way through it.  You're impressionable, sentimental and extremely psychic, but you take in too much negative energy.  You have a lonesomeness that nothing in the outer world can cure.  Master your emotions and look beyond your personality.  You'll be able find yourself and learn to use your psychic talent constructively.  In this regard, occasional isolation in order to find and center yourself is an absolute necessity.  Music, the arts, or a career serving those less fortunate than yourself are attractive.  An environment with constantly changing emotional stimuli gives you the opportunity to express yourself through your many facets.  Your manner is gentle and peace loving, and your sensitivity and concern for others comes across in everything you say and do.  The house your Neptune is in shows experiences necessary in developing self-awareness and your expression as an individual.  Neptune's sign and aspects will indicate your ease or difficulty in doing this.
