Pisces is the dreamer of the zodiac. Born between 19 February and 20 March, Pisces people are compassionate, creative and deeply intuitive. If you know someone with a vivid imagination, an enormous heart and an almost psychic read on other people's feelings, you have met a Pisces.

Pisces Star Sign Traits

Pisces is a water sign ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams and imagination, which gives Pisces people their creativity, compassion and rich inner world. They are gentle, intuitive and deeply attuned to the emotions around them.

Symbolised by two fish swimming in opposite directions, Pisces lives between the real world and the world of feeling and imagination. As a mutable sign they are adaptable and selfless, often putting others first. Few signs are as kind or as emotionally generous as Pisces.

Pisces Dates and Element

If you were born between 19 February and 20 March, you are a Pisces. Anyone born on the edge, around 17 to 19 February or 19 to 21 March, sits on the cusp and may share traits with Aquarius or Aries.

Pisces is a water sign, ruled by Neptune. Water gives Pisces its deep feeling and intuition, while Neptune adds imagination, creativity and a spiritual streak. Together they make the most dreamy and compassionate sign of the zodiac.

Pisces in Love and Relationships

In love, Pisces is romantic, devoted and wonderfully tender. They love deeply and selflessly, often giving more than they take. For a Pisces, real love is a soulful, emotional connection rather than anything surface-level.

Pisces wants to feel understood on a deep level. They are sensitive and need gentle, caring partners who will not take advantage of their giving nature. Love a Pisces well and they will pour their whole imaginative heart into the relationship.

Pisces Compatibility

Pisces matches best with signs that value emotional depth and tenderness. The fellow water signs Cancer and Scorpio are natural partners, feeling things just as deeply.

Earth signs like Taurus and Capricorn also pair beautifully, grounding the dreamy Pisces with stability. The harder matches are blunt or restless signs like Gemini and Sagittarius, who may bruise the sensitive Pisces heart.

What is the Weakness of Pisces?

The main Pisces weakness is escapism. When reality gets hard, Pisces can drift into daydreams or avoid dealing with things head-on. Their sensitivity can also tip into being easily hurt or overwhelmed.

Pisces can be a little too self-sacrificing, giving so much that they lose track of their own needs. The upside is that their compassion and creativity are genuine gifts, and few people will ever make you feel as understood.

Who Should a Pisces Marry?

The ideal partner for a Pisces is someone gentle, loyal and emotionally present, who will cherish their giving nature. Cancer and Scorpio make deeply compatible long-term matches.

Virgo, the opposite sign, is a lovely pairing, balancing the Pisces heart with the Virgo head. What a Pisces needs in marriage is a partner who protects their tender heart and meets their devotion with the same care.

Famous Pisces Personalities

Pisces has produced some of the most creative and visionary names in history. Famous Pisceans include Rihanna, Albert Einstein, Justin Bieber, Steve Jobs, Kurt Cobain, Elizabeth Taylor, Drew Barrymore and George Washington.

Very Pisces: imaginative, soulful people who saw the world a little differently and changed it because of it.
