As the last sign, Pisces is thought to embody the lessons and struggles central to every other zodiac, making them the ultimate complex character. Beneath a calm, quirky exterior, a Pisces’ inner world is often turbulent. With a Pisces, always expect more than meets the eye. People often mistake this sign’s sensitivity for simplicity; being underestimated is like a Pisces birthright. But Pisces are perceptive, compassionate, and profound people. It may not be politics or the periodic table that they know by heart, but if a Pisces knows you, then they know what makes you tick, too. The Pisces in your life are probably lowkey psychic—but luckily, they use their power for good. Expect tight hugs, flower crowns, poetry readings, and the most tenderhearted person in your contact list.^{[5]

Blurring the line between fantasy and reality is a Pisces’ second talent. When things get tough, they seek solace in daydreams. Because of this, Pisces is gifted in resilience. But a tenuous relationship to the real world can have its challenges, too. Because a Pisces is such a capable daydreamer, they may struggle to invest in earthly responsibilities. This compels them to create amazing art, find rich spiritual fulfillment, and buck suffocating societal norms—but it may also create difficulty in their work and relationships.^{[6]

Inspiring–Pisces turn their partners into part-time visionaries. When hanging around such a powerful, creative spirit, you’re bound to pick up a thing or two. A Pisces will be their partner’s spiritual cheerleader—encouraging artistic projects, rich emotional exchanges, and a childlike imagination. Dating a Pisces is often a magical, transformative experience.
3
Inconsistent–Pisces are existential crisis magnets, so love can be tough. Emotional ups and downs can define a Pisces' relationships if they’re not careful. Though never mean-spirited and only rarely aggressive, a Pisces definitely gets moody. With little warning, a Pisces may become distant or reclusive. This can stress out high-strung people, but with patience and time, a Pisces' partner will learn to navigate the ups and downs.^{[8]

Inventive–A Pisces wants to bring your wildest fantasies to life. They are nonjudgmental, imaginative, and extremely generous people. So for anyone lucky enough to get between the sheets with a Pisces, you can expect the role-playing of your dreams.

Attracting a Pisces

A Pisces' life is colored by emotional discovery and truth. A Pisces won’t feel connected if you’re closed off, and if you find heartfelt expressions silly, then they’ll find you silly. To draw a Pisces in, discuss the big stuff: childhood fears, complex feelings, artistic dreams, and the wonders of life.^{[9]

Offer safety and stability. Pisces are the ultimate free spirits, and that’s the way they like it. But in love, a Pisces craves dependability—someone who can bring balance into their life. For these sensitive souls, the world can be a tough place. To attract a Pisces, make them feel protected and secure: be their emotional rock, fix things when they break, and organize the plans.
3
Take your time. Pisces are devoted partners, but they won’t be in any hurry. This sign is sensitive to structure and responsibility, so they may be slow to agree to exclusivity. Trust that they’ll get there in their own time. Don’t pressure a Pisces, understand their reservations, and if you get impatient, avoid lashing out.

Taurus and Pisces. When a Pisces and Taurus couple up, they’ll each feel they’ve found their missing piece. A Pisces craves stability, substance, and solid ground to keep themselves on track. A Taurus desires spontaneity, softness, and sentimentality to help them break out of dry routine. This relationship will be sweet and easy. Like yin and yang, Pisces and Taurus will nurture, inspire, and effortlessly complete one another. If super cute couples turn your stomach, then steer clear. These two are about as perfect as it gets.
2
Cancer and Pisces. Pisces and Cancer are the emotional sleuths of the zodiac. These two worry constantly about other people’s feelings with one simple goal in mind: becoming the ultimate shoulder to cry on.^{[11]

Expert Interview. 13 January 2022.} When a Pisces and Cancer get together, they’ll experience relief. Finally, someone is willing to care for them like they care for everyone else. This love affair is filled with late-night chats, lots of cuddling, and a genuine, mutual understanding. This relationship is the definition of emotionally rich. If there were an award for Most Likely To Cry Over How Much They Love Each Other, Pisces and Cancer would crown each other co-victors (and, in all likelihood, shed a few tears in the process).
3
Scorpio and Pisces. A Scorpio and Pisces will give each other exactly what they want—and a bit of what they really need, too. These two share a passion for emotional intensity and devotion. A Pisces and Scorpio could spend a week locked in a room with just one activity on the docket: divulging every last secret and dream between them.^{[12]

As a Pisces I can get so emotionally overwhelmed that I get bogged down by negative thinking or all the sorrow in the world. To shake myself out of it I've had to develop coping mechanisms to make it easier to get back to reality. I have a lot of earth sign friends who ground me and remind me that my emotions aren't always rooted in reality and that I don't have to punish myself. I exercise, make art, spend time in nature, and sing a lot to make myself feel whole and happy, too.
I'm a triple Pisces and I'm the one in my friend group everyone comes to for advice, I try hard not to be judgmental and to just listen and I find it comes naturally to me. I've heard Pisces aren't compatible with air signs but I don't think this is true, or it isn't for me anyway.
