Kim Kyu Jong's Zodiac Profiles: Pisces & Rabbit
NOTE: I spent a long time researching and compiling these, so please don't repost anywhere. Linking back to this post is allowed, but please NO reposting. Thank you! Link to: Kim Kyu Jong's Zodiac Profiles: Pisces & Rabbit
KIM KYU JONGWestern Zodiac:
Born: February 24, 1987
"Pisces"
Element: Water
Quality: Mutable
Ruling Planet: Neptune
Lucky Color: Sea GreenPisces is the last sign of the zodiac, which has the symbol of 'The Fish'. It has a blend of the qualities of all the other zodiacs. It brings together all that is learned by the first eleven Signs to help man reach the pinnacle of his potential. It is because of this fusion that it becomes very difficult to truly understand a Pisces.
Pisces people are not much interested in the material things of life and are not the ones to run after money. It's not that they are against riches, but they are more aware of its impermanence. They are not greedy about anything, least of all wealth.
In their leisure time, Pisces may work to alleviate their emotional stress through exercise. They especially enjoy sports that bring them into contact with their own Element of Water, such as swimming and sailing. They are very artistic, and may excel at music and drama. (No wonder Kyu wants to be a singer and actor.)
They give off a feeling of otherworldliness, and usually have very sensitive, caring eyes They may have a trusting, eager look or a quality of empathy and non-judgment exclusive to those who truly understand human sorrows and failings.
Cool-Tempered and Slow To Get Angry
A Piscean characteristics profile exhibits loads of charm and a very easygoing attitude. He is not bothered by restrictions, as long as he has the right to dream and live his own life. Radical opinions do not stimulate him at all, nor do insults make him agitated. Very few things compel him to lose his temper When a Pisces does get angry, it is better to stay away.
He can give the most sarcastic comments, be extremely rude and lash you with a scathing tongue The best part is that the anger seldom lasts long and he will be his usual placid self again. When he sees the world, his eyes seem to be covered with rose-colored spectacles. Pisceans live in the world of their own, even when they are completely aware of the rough side of humanity. In their world, everyone is good and everything is beautiful. They have a very sharp memory and tend to remember the minutest of details.
Soft-Hearted and Self-Sacrificing
The Pisces Sun leads with a compassionate heart , which can be both a blessing and a curse. Many are remarkably wise and self-sacrificing when it comes to helping the vulnerable or those down on their luck. But this noble trait can take them down a path of being used and abused before they learn to set strong boundaries.
Pisceans tend to be kindhearted champions of the underdog, willing to do anything to help those who are physically or emotionally suffering. They also have natural healing abilities.
Pisceans can endure almost anything if it will help someone else, and they will help any sick, vulnerable or stray being that needs them Pisceans tend to be happiest if they are involved in charity or volunteer work in their spare time. In their personal lives, they are inclined to take care of friends, relatives, animals and even strangers who come their way. Pisceans, being gullible, are often deceived or used by people who take advantage of their sympathetic natures.
Shy and Quiet
Pisceans tend to be shy and quiet They are sometimes elusive, refusing to show their real selves. They are modest and thoughtful, displaying remarkable musical talent Because Pisces rules the twelfth House, which rules dreams, people born under this Sign may be fascinated with dreams and dream interpretation.
Tactful and Understanding
Pisces people usually have a phobia of hurting the feelings of others, and will avoid doing or saying anything hurtful, even if it is warranted. They suffer intense guilt over small things, and are inclined to psychologically torture themselves over minor incidents.
Pisces people have a tendency to sacrifice their own needs to those of others and may become resentful or develop a martyr complex because of it. They need to take time out for themselves and attend to their own needs to prevent this from happening. This is a sign that frequently gets dumped on by others and usually doesn’t retaliate. Their natural sensitivity makes them one of the most understanding characters of the Zodiac.
Sensitive and Non-judgmental
Pisces is the most sensitive of all zodiac signs. You will never know when a Piscean is profoundly hurt. He hides his deepest emotions behind a veil of humor. The humor may be warm and innocent or cold and ruthless. However, it is sure to be a mask for some other emotion, more often than not.
Laughter is his best cover and he will use it wisely. He has compassion for the sick and even tries to understand the feelings of the lonely. Even those who are weak by choice will get Pisces shoulder to cry on. He never judges people and accepts them just as they are. He knows all your vices and virtues, understands them and will still be there if you need him They are extremely loyal. They will take a friend's problem and make it their own and suffer with them. He wants to help everyone; still most of the people fail to understand the sensitivity of the fish. He absorbs the positive as well as the negative vibrations around him.
Highly Addictive
Pisces is the most addictive sign of the zodiac. The combination of an experimental and sensation seeking nature with the tendency to escape when things get rough can lead Pisceans into severe addictions. Although Pisces people will care for others in extreme adversity, they have difficulty caring for themselves both psychologically or physically.
Pisces can be a compulsive eater. Addiction to cigarettes or food is also likely with this sign, and most Pisceans must watch their weight and fight against over-indulgence. Sports and physical fitness routines are a good way to keep in shape and reduce emotional stress.
Brilliant and Artistic
Pisceans are often brilliant in some way, with many displaying scientific or artistic genius. Many Pisceans are also good dancers and/or singers, and most have beautiful or unusual voices (love Kyu's voice!) Pisceans have vivid imaginations, which are both a source of creativity and a means of escape.
Changeable and Magnetic
Pisceans have certain intangible qualities that attract others and ensure that they usually have no shortage of interested partners. Many have eyes that change colour slightly with their moods, and most change their appearances significantly many times over the course of their lives ( Some can even look quite different at various times of the day or week. Most Pisceans love costumes and disguises.
Peace-Loving and Idealistic
Pisces people can see the validity of two truths simultaneously, and so have difficulty in taking sides. They usually avoid conflict whenever possible and are inclined to act as peacemakers when others fight. They are frequently taken advantage of, both monetarily and emotionally, because they are trusting, naive and idealistic.
Pisces in Love
As with so much of Pisces' life, if love can be a dreamy state of fantasies and play, a magical tour of mind, body and soul, all the better. These spiritual folk like to combine the real and surreal, so that love with the Fish becomes a creative hyper-state where almost anything is possible. There is an electric quality to the Fish that makes them almost magnetic in love, although their lover may not be sure just quite what it is that is so attractive This mysterious quality that Pisceans possess can be quite the aphrodisiac in the game of love. The Fish is an empathetic sort and loves to serve their lover. These folks also love completely, for this sacred state is about the best that life on Earth can bring. Love can be scary for the Fish, but when it's right, it's likely to transcend all limits and reach a brave new world. \
What Pisces Needs
The Fish adores that person who can help complete them -- a yin to their yang, that person who can draw them out and gently bring them down to a safe place on Earth -- is a keeper. Pisceans also crave a comfort level, a certain sense of security which says "hey, you're okay" and helps them to relax and trust. If their lover can protect them from the harsh realities of life and keep them from retreating to the safety of a dream world, all the better Loving creative play as they do, a partner who can feed Pisces' muse will insure a serendipitous journey for both.
The Pisces lover is caring and compassionate, a sensitive and intuitive soul who brings a starry-eyed quality to the real world. The mystical and magical Fish can make playtime a lifetime of fun with the right person.

"The Rabbit"
Occupying the 4th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Rabbit symbolizes such character traits as creativity, compassion, and sensitivity. Rabbits are friendly, outgoing and prefer the company of others. They also prefer to avoid conflict. In confrontational situations, Rabbits approach calmly and with consideration for the other party. Rabbits believe strongly in friends and family and lacking such bonds can lead to emotional issues.
Their serene nature keeps Rabbits from becoming visibly upset. It is not easy to provoke Rabbit people. They don't like to argue and enjoy quiet, peaceful lives. Because they’re serene animals, Rabbits are easily taken advantage of. Their sensitive nature makes them shy away from aggressive or competitive situations. They’re overall conservative and not interested in taking risks.
The Rabbit is the happiest sign of the Zodiac -- gifted, nice to be with, discreet, refined, reserved, ambitious but not too much so, and virtuous in the bargain. Nobody ignores Rabbits, for they are good company and know how to make the best of themselves.
Classy, sophisticated, expressive, well-mannered and stylish, those born under the Sign of the Rabbit enjoy leaning about cultural issues and learning about people from other countries. Rabbits are most comfortable being home, and their homes are always neat and organized. Home is also where Rabbits prefer to entertain. Rabbits are conservative in their decorating tastes.
Rabbits should work at building more self-confidence and self-worth so they can feel more secure. The desire for remaining in safe, comfortable environments keeps Rabbits from taking risks which sometimes causes them to miss out on good opportunities.
Health
Even though Rabbits don’t usually get visibly upset or stressed, they do tend to keep these feelings inside. When they don’t express these feelings, such feeling can cause Rabbits to become ill. Rabbits could benefit from more everyday activity which would reduce their stress levels and better their health.
Relationships
Rabbits are very sexual, but tend to give more of themselves than they should. This can lead to unrealistic expectations and unhealthy situations. Rabbits need partners who won’t take advantage of their giving nature. Such pairings will be strong.
Fire Rabbits – Years 1927 and 1987Fire adds spark to the Rabbit’s personality and all that Fire Rabbits do. Fire compels Rabbits to seek new adventures. Prone to tantrums, Fire Rabbits prefer to avoid conflict.
Compatibility
The Rabbit is most compatible with the Pig and Dog and incompatible with the Rooster and Rat.
