Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) was a pisces, and a very typical one. He had a proclivity, even an obsession, for world-building & inspiration/overflow. Pisces are probably the most manipulative & narcissistic of the signs, second taurus, third aries. Paradox rules the spirit of the 12th house, we've got a mature naivety, an inclination towards "safe" dangers, playful & dark, mysteriously open. The pisces fish are disorganized to the present but extremely attune to the memory/dream realm. Relationships with male pisces can be thrilling because of how observant they are—and how easily they fall in love—but many will hit that solipsism wall full-force. Dr. Seuss's first wife Helen took her life partly on account of his affair with their friend. Funny sentence to type. It may seem as if I'm typifying pisces to be ego-maniacs, but at least we share the knack for delivering works into the world that explore the depth of emotion, the warmth of the rapt & spirited mortal.

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living; it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”
—Dr. Seuss
