Pisces Sun, Aries Rising, Moon in Cancer: wet, wet, wet — with enough fire to get me out of bed in the morning. Emil the Emo Emu has nothing on Pisceans (and I'm getting WORSE as I get older!!). I'm a bearded hairy chubby old fart living in Northern New Mexico with my beautiful rescued Siberian husky-girl, Blessing, and our black cat Urdwill. I work at a nursery in Santa Fe; write (horticulture articles, science fiction & fantasy); lead intuitive development trainings; publish a blog devoted to men's abuse recovery issues (http://massc.blogspot.com/); and I've had a beard continuously since 1977.
