The Ascendant (or rising sign) is often considered the mask one wears when meeting others. Perhaps it is most aptly thought of as the automatic responses to one's environment. The Ascendant shows our natural defenses and how we cope with day-to-day issues. The energies of the sign and condition of the Ascendant are most overt and obvious to others. The Ascendant shows an individual's first, natural reaction to new people and situations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pisces rising is said to have sensitive feelings, openness, gentleness, and deep empathy are the keys to fulfilling your soul function. You are to minister to others, whether as a healer or spiritual counselor or simply as a compassionate listener and nonjudgmental friend. Others will seek you out when troubled or in need. By nature you are unselfish and giving, and must learn your limits and when to say no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have pronounced intuitive or psychic abilities which can be a dependable source of guidance for you if you learn to pay attention and give credence to them. Your ruling planets are Jupiter, planet of religion and, Neptune, planet of mysticism and imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;a href="http://needsupply.com/womens/fish-earrings.html"&gt;fish earrings over at need supply&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;a href="http://www.forever21.com/heritage1981/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&amp;category_name=81Jewelry&amp;product_id=1065962096&amp;showBACK=OK"&gt;Moving Koi Fish Necklace Set at forever 21&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;a href="http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Accessories/Bracelets+Watches/My+Pet+Octopus+Cuff"&gt;My pet octopus cuff at modcloth&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31644921&amp;ref=sr_list_14&amp;&amp;ga_search_query=fish&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_page=26&amp;order=date_desc&amp;includes[]=tags&amp;includes[]=title"&gt;hello mr. crab necklace by simply cha cha {etsy shop}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5097471196469201069-7759009960404443993?l=esmeandkate.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://esmeandkate.blogspot.com/feeds/7759009960404443993/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://esmeandkate.blogspot.com/2009/10/id-like-to-be-under-sea.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5097471196469201069/posts/default/7759009960404443993'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5097471196469201069/posts/default/7759009960404443993'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://esmeandkate.blogspot.com/2009/10/id-like-to-be-under-sea.html' title='i&apos;d like to be. under the sea.'/><author><name>michelle rivera</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15315041897286919077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qA8NbzDraNk/SuYXVZrPWgI/AAAAAAAAAPc/CEmfWDT7FNM/S220/michelle.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5097471196469201069.post-6412728262869655541</id><published>2009-10-26T14:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-26T14:52:49.850-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='esme and kate shop'/><title type='text'>new items no.1</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2795/4048095978_562d2d23be_o.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;
