Cooking for Pisceans

Pisces represents two fish moving in two directions, similar to a yin/yang sign but the energies create a push-me-pull-you for the Piscean. The fish generally find that life’s waters change their course, taking them in various directions especially mystically or spiritually. This creates a person with a vivid sense of creativity and artistry, meaning your Pisces will eat with his or her senses – visual yes, but also smell, texture, taste and even the sound of the food cooking can drive them to drool in anticipation. With that in mind, make your meal filled with sensual appeal. Every nuance from the tableware and plating to the colors and textures of each remove matters a lot, and will be likewise appreciated greatly.

While you’re cooking it’s very important that you cook with joy and love. Pisceans are highly empathic – and in this case, they really ARE what they eat. If you’re grumpy or stressed about this meal, they’re going to become grumpy and stressed and the results won’t be pretty. Even worse, they’ll go on to try to “make it better”, being more concerned about your needs than their own. So keep it fun and playful – for background music think old rock n’ roll instead of sleepy instrumental. And absolutely no “downer” movies before or after the food – I suggest comedy or silly action adventure.

Pisceans can be very romantic, so consider preparing foods that you can feed each other, or a dinner that centers on a romantic theme. Either of these options won’t be lost on the Fish, and in fact you’ll probably hear about it for months to come. One fun example theme is red roses (a petal laden salad, rose soup, rose beef, rose liqueur or tea, and even a rose petal covered table). Roses are very edible and contain lots of vitamin C to keep your Piscean healthy!

If your Piscean likes cooking, definitely get them involved in the kitchen – they’ll LOVE tinkering with the flavors and overall presentation. Some Pisces really thrive in a culinary environment as it feeds their inventiveness and ability to think outside the box. If they don’t consider themselves a “good cook” then have them sit nearby and put in two cents now and again. Pisceans often feel overlooked, so your attention to his or her opinion is a very good element to the dining experience.

If you’re dining with others, remember that Pisceans are very sensitive. Friends with allergies or special diets need to be tended to or the Fish will be very upset. On the upside, if you can plan for those little alterations, your Piscean will appreciate the effort and enjoy good company.

Because the Piscean is highly responsible, combine your dinner plans with something that gives him or her relaxation. Offer a massage. Burn soothing incense. Get them to take off that red cape long enough to enjoy some pampering.
