Hey, Pisces! If you’re the sign of the fish, your birthday falls between 20th February and 20th March – and as the final constellation of the zodiac, Pisces are sensitive and ultra-caring creatures.
The zodiac sign for Pisces is symbolised by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the constant darting of Pisces’s attention between fantasy and reality (in other words, hello dreamers).
Ruled by both Neptune (the planet of mystery) and Jupiter (the lucky planet of prosperity and miracles), Pisces is a star sign that can be both secretive, interesting, magical and worldly.
This sign is often associated with internal struggle, too (a message that’s reflected in the symbolism of the two opposing fish). Pisces are pretty determined characters – they want success, to be active and make a mark, but they also like daydreaming and getting in touch with their spiritual side.
As the final sign in the zodiac, Pisces has absorbed the joys and the pains of the other signs and learned from the others, making them one of the most empathetic and compassionate of all the star signs. They can be sensitive though, and have to remember to stay grounded and not be swallowed up by their emotions.
Famous celebrity Pisces include Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Emily Blunt, Rebel Wilson, Sophie Turner and Dakota Fanning.
Typical Pisces personality traits
Compassionate
If you’ve got a Pisces in your gang, they’ll be the one that is constantly checking in on everyone else. Pisces are caring, they’re good at listening and never judge. They have a sort of old-world maturity that makes them brilliant at offering advice – nothing fazes them.
Spiritual
There’s nothing a Pisces loves more than getting in touch with their mystical side. They are big into all things spiritual and have a psychic side that often makes itself known. Get those tarot cards out, pronto.
Emotional
The great thing about having a Pisces pal is that they are gentle and kind but also don’t hold back on their emotions – they have a knack for getting people to really talk about their feelings and will get just as emotional while you’re at it. They’re probably your soppiest friend – and can sometimes be a little sensitive to things that may not bother you, so tread carefully.
Creative
Pisceans are arty and are drawn to all things creative that require an imagination (they’re great with kids, FYI). Whether it’s painting and drawing or music and performance, you can guarantee Pisces is cooking up some kind of ‘performance’.
Pisces personality compatibility – who gets on best with a Pisces?
If you’re wondering what star sign gets on best with a Pisces, look no further than the other water sign gang – we’re talking Scorpios and Cancers. They are as equally bonkers as each other (in a good way), emotional, mystical and compassionate beings, they’re good listeners and talkers.
Another good star sign in terms of compatibility is a Taurus. Only two star signs apart, Pisces and Taurus both have a friendly, natural bond that sees them enjoying taking time to getting to know each other. Ruled by Venus, Taurus is very relationship-oriented, which pairs well with Neptunian Pisces’ tendency to prioritise a romantic view of their closest connections.
Capricorns also make excellent lovers for Pisces, in an ‘opposites attract’ manner. The daydreamer Pisces makes a good balancing act for the ambitious, driven Capricorn – the contrasting energy becomes a brilliant contrast.
Personality traits that Pisces avoids
Selfishness
Hardly surprising that kind Pisces can’t stand those who don’t put others before themselves. Selfishness is a massive turn-off, as is anyone who is arrogant, cold and manipulating.
Materialism
Don’t get us wrong, Pisces do love their creature comforts as much as the next person – and would never say no to a free first-class upgrade, but status and money don’t motivate them like it does for some signs. They crave intimacy over luxury. You definitely can’t buy your way to a Pisces’ heart.
