Born between February 19 and March 20, Pisces is the most compassionate and most gentle of the zodiacs. Represented by fishes, it belongs to the element of Water and thus, is extremely intuitive, capable of feeling things deeply, and boasting of strong gut reactions.
This sign is also incredibly sensitive, with a tendency to absorb and internalize the feelings of others. Because of this, they often need to take a breather and spend some time alone to recalibrate themselves. During this period of isolation, they may find themselves exercising their creative juices by working on art, composing music, reading books, or exploring new places. It’s only through these mediums that they’re able to fully comprehend the emotions within them.
Pisces is also characterized by a strong moral compass, which gives them a strong sense of right and wrong, as well as the profound desire to correct all injustices in the world. Despite their strong personal convictions, though, they’re open-minded and non-judgmental, even if the other person doesn’t share their beliefs.
Famous Pisces celebrities include Elizabeth Taylor, Kurt Cobain, Steve Irwin, Rihanna, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, and Carrie Underwood. King Ferdinand II of Aragon, the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the inventor Alexander Graham Bell, and the Irish pirate Anne Bonny share this sign too.
Pisces is among the friendliest of the zodiacs, thanks to their ability to emphasize and form genuine connections with other people. Not only do they love socializing, but they’re also more than willing to lend a hand to others, even if they don’t know them that well.
Their intuitiveness comes from their ruling planet, Neptune, which also makes them generous, compassionate, and extremely artistic. Thanks to their unique perspective of the world, the art that they create are often one-of-a-kind, although they prefer to keep their talents under wraps.
As the most empathetic and most intuitive sign, Pisces is prone to mimicking the emotions of those around them. They feel saddened whenever someone is hurt but instantly perk up when another person claims that they’re happy. While this can often prove to be exhausting for them, it also means that they’re capable of unconditional love – no matter what pain they were made to go through, they’ll continue to welcome that individual back into their lives.
While their intuitiveness is their biggest strength, it also means that Pisces is frequently volatile and prone to mercurial moods. Unfortunately, they themselves are unable to figure out the cause behind the storm within them, which is why it’s best to leave them alone whenever they’re in one of their “moments.”
Unfortunately, this inherent intuitiveness also triggers their laziness. Pisces can sometimes feel unmotivated, which results in them withdrawing from the world and losing the will to do anything, in the belief that things will never get better, no matter how hard they try. They may eventually pull themselves out of this lethargy; however, it often takes a long time for them to do so.
Pisces is also prone to internalizing every negative thought that crosses their mind. They’re unable to bounce back from criticism and bad experiences, both of which they tend to take to heart. When this happens, they become extremely pessimistic and beat themselves up over the smallest of faults.
Given their dreamy and imaginative nature, Pisces will likely find themselves trapped and suffocating if forced to work in a traditional nine-to-five job. This sign performs best in unstructured environments without strict organizational hierarchies. They’re also well-suited for industries where vision and empathy play a crucial role, such as social work, psychiatry, designer, and photographer.
While there are many industries where Pisces will thrive, they’ll do best in jobs like behavioral psychiatrist, clinical counselor, mental health technician, and filmmaker.
Pisces is far from impressed by money and success. Instead, they’re attracted to those with dominant personalities who take the initiative to get them out of their heads. They’re also drawn to deep and profound conversations, which is why they often seek sophisticated and highly intellectual romantic partners.
This sign isn’t afraid of commitment and is known to be devoted to their significant other. They tend to take on a caretaking role in the relationship and will go out of their way to ensure that their partner feels safe, secure, and looked after.
