How this placement behaves

In classical astrology, Moon signifies fluctuation, the masses, bodily life, instinct. When Moon is placed in Pisces, those significations are refracted through the fishes. pisces diffuses, absorbs, and imagines. it is mutable water, permeable in temperament, and drawn toward faith, mercy, and retreat.

Moon is peregrine here, so reception, aspects, and the condition of the dispositor become especially important in judgment.

"THE MOON IN PISCES. ☽ in ♓. The native is quiet, retiring, and easy-going, restless and fond of variety, changes his mind easily, is irresolute and not always to be depended upon, is rather easily discouraged, and meets with obstacles, misfortune and opposition in life. This position gives a liking for reading of a romantic or emotional kind, for poetry and music that appeals to the emotions and feelings. As speaker, writer, or composer the native is fluent, copious and imaginative, but diffuse. He inclines to be religious, but is in this respect more emotional than intellectual, and prone to feel rather than to reason out. Somewhat wanting in buoyancy and hope, he is too serious or too easily depressed, and may even lack matter-of-fact common-sense and humour. There is sometimes a tendency to intemperance, dissipation, or laudanum drinking, while on the other hand mediumship, clear dreaming, and various psychic powers may manifest themselves. This lunar position softens the frame and increases the fleshy and glandular structures; is therefore not favourable for robust health. There is danger from secret enemies; or the native may himself be not quite straightforward. There is some liability to detention in a hospital, poor-house, or prison; but these bad effects will not ensue unless there are accompanying bad aspects or other indications in the nativity"

"THE SUN IN AQUARIUS AND MOON IN PISCES. ☉ in ♒. XI.—xii. ☽ in ♓. This is a more favourable Pisces combination than those previously given, as it gives much perseverance and carefulness, awakening the studious side of the Pisces nature. But with regard to this, much will depend upon planetary influences and the aspects to Sun and Moon. There is some amount of imagination, love of beauty, musical or artistic ability, refinement, and sentiment; much charitable feeling and sympathy. Some psychic or occult tendencies exist, and mediumship is easily developed. Unless very positive tendencies are given by the ascendant or planetary positions, the nature is unassuming, a little retiring, agreeable and sociable; more suited for some relatively quiet and unambitious occupation than for one involving publicity, responsibility, or conflict. Will benefit by friends and patrons,—or even by charity, if the planetary positions indicate any need of this"
