Pisces Personality Traits

A Pisces is considered to be the most highly evolved sign out of the whole Zodiac. They symbolize the human soul, and they have a very deep belief in the Universe.

A Pisces swims freely in society and represents the capacity to see the depths of life. They are completely fine with being drowned in the deep end of the world’s emotions and offerings, and are not afraid to simply feel.

There is a dreamy, spiritual and deeply emotional quality to every Pisces, and resounding sensitivity can make it difficult for these people to lead an easy social life. They are often characterized as the sign of sorrows, for they feel so much and don’t often fit in anywhere. They can be vulnerable to depression and occasionally self pity and insecurity overcomes them. Pisceans are also known for using escapism in the form of drugs to enter into their dreamworlds and forget about their woes. Their deep and complex emotional life makes them highly attractive to those who hold within them a thirst to learn more about opening themselves up.

Pisceans can be very generous and are highly empathic when it comes to the difficulties of others; and they tend to act with compassion in the face of misfortune.

Pisces Compatibility

A Pisces is dreamy, and empathetic. They are sensitive, indecisive, and in need of affection. A Pisces needs to find a partner that will nurture their unique approach to relationships. They will need to commit to someone who will be able to brighten them up when they get in their heads. A Pisces will always find a great partner in someone who will accept and appreciate their love, for it is so rare and needs to be protected. A Scorpio will do just that, falling in love with how a Pisces meets their depths perfectly.

Pisces Compatibility Chart

Pisces and Aries Compatibility: This combination isn’t the strongest as they struggle in communication. A Pisces might drop hints about what they want and need but they will never straight up say it. An Aries needs that clarity which they don’t get. In a relationship with a Pisces one has to be able to read people very well but with an Aries they seem to overlook that. This couple fails because each person just can’t figure out or fake being what the other person needs.

Pisces and Taurus Compatibility: This is a wonderful match pairing a dreamer (Pisces) with a realist (Taurus). They both prefer a laid back lifestyle and know the other person needs to be supported and loved. They will have one of the happiest home lifes and be a couple with an unshakeable bond.

Pisces and Gemini Compatibility: Gemini + Pisces balance each other out very well. While a Pisces is very emotional and deep a Gemini is very compassionate and understanding of their needs. A Pisces has no shame in being exactly who they are and following how they feel while a Gemini tends to play the role of what someone needs them to be and makes the choices that seem logical. What each side needs the other seems to be.

Pisces and Cancer Compatibility: Cancer and Pisces will fundamentally understand each other, but they’re so similar that they will have a hard time functioning in the real world as a couple. Both of these signs work best when they’re paired with a sturdier person who lives in the real world — not another dreamer. This point aside, they will be perfectly happy together and will create a beautiful, creative world where everyone is nice to each other and and the world is made up of art.

Pisces and Leo Compatibility: In this relationship the Leo has to be the strong and stable one. Pisces are very needy in relationships. Because everything is a Pisces life is based on how they feel they need a partner who understands and can nurture that. Where a Pisces might lack confidence, a Leo always is the confident one. Where a Pisces might crumble a Leo has no problem being their strength. This couple is good together when each person understands the role they play but problems occur most the time when being the strong one becomes too much for a Leo.

Pisces and Virgo Compatibility: This combination is the relationship every parent wants their kids to be in. It’s a practical relationship, down to earth and productive duo. While it might not be that love story that keeps you up at night, they are the love you know will be loyal and someone who will keep their vows if ever you choose each other.

Pisces and Libra Compatibility: This pair is one of the strongest. Their loyalty to one another is what is so great. They each are really empathetic and would give anyone the shirt off their back. They make such a good team because when one is down the other steps up when they need to and vise versa. This relationship a forever combination if you’re lucky to find such a thing. And together it isn’t so much each person completes each other, who they are is a reflection of the influence they have on each other.

Pisces and Scorpio Compatibility: Like the saying opposites attract no truer statement applies more to this pair. A Scorpio is cold and guarded. They struggle in trusting people and letting anyone in. They always want to be the dominant one in a relationship. A Pisces on the other hand tends to be passive wearing their heart on their sleeve loving a Scorpio as hard as they possibly can. And while it’s a challenge once they have they have a Scorpio’s trust what this bond so strong is the loyalty to one another.

Pisces and Sagittarius Compatibility: Emotionally this combination balances each other out very well. They each are hopeless romantics and wear their heart on their sleeve and they respect that about each other. They are empathetic and understanding and truly vibe with what each are feeling and trying to be what each person needs in the relationship. The only problem that occurs in this type of relationship is the level of high intense emotions between the two is sometimes too dramatic, they need someone a little bit different.

Pisces and Capricorn Compatibility: This pair is one that probably started off as friends first. Each wondering who was gonna make the first move and when. Any relationship that starts as a friendship you know will be one that’s loyal and long lasting. It’s the relationship that comes into one another’s lives when everyone is tired of getting hurt and played. It’s the relationship that makes them feel safe and secure.

Pisces and Aquarius Compatibility: This combination is never one that is boring. This couple goes from one extreme to the other and they struggle to find a normal balance together. A Pisces constantly seeking love while an Aquarius is naturally distant. And sometimes that works but other times a Pisces struggle with trust issues and that’s when the two fight. When you’re constantly doubting someone it’s never going to work out.

Pisces and Pisces Compatibility: The combination of two Pisces is horrifyingly strong and compatible. They find each other and each feel like they found their soulmate or the missing parts of who they need in another person. The relationship takes off almost instant and that’s what scares each of them and might drive them away from each other. It’s finding that person who is perfect for you but the next question they each have to ask themselves is are you ready for that sort of thing yet?

How To Attract A Pisces

To attract a Pisces, buy them something meaningful, or make them something that holds merit with them. If you know certain things about them, use that for your gifts.

How To Know If A Pisces Likes You

They will poke you and giggle a lot, and they will approach you in childish ways, sending cute text messages, and flirty comments your way. If a Pisces flirts with you more online versus in person, just know that this is because they are shy, and they tend to withdraw in real life situations. This does not mean that they don’t like you, or that they’re playing games. They’re just more confident online.

How Pisces Are As Friends

As a friend, a Pisces is a very compassionate source of love for others. They help anyone in need, and are often taken advantage of because of how willing they are to stick their neck out for others. Their kind nature is either extremely appreciated, or completely taken for granted. Therefore, Pisces tend to pick and choose friends with a lot of reservation. They may be guarded at first because they have been so hurt by fake pals in the past. Due to their close knit choices, a Pisces will stick to childhood friends who understand their depth. That way they won’t have to worry about being hurt, and they will never have to explain their dispositions or their depth. Pisces truly believe in the saying, “No new friends.”

How Pisces Are When They’re Mad

Due to constantly feeling their feelings so deeply, it is difficult for a Pisces to get mad. They often have worked through everything time and time again, and have been able to experience and feel through whatever it was that angering them. When they do lash out, it is never on others. Rather, a Pisces is known for being very self destructive, and they will get aggressive with themselves. After an episode, a Pisces will need a lot of time to reenergize their heart, and to feel dreamy again.

How Pisces Are When They’re Sad

When sad, a Pisces will suffer from anxiety. They will isolate themselves, and they will feel their sadness in an extremely intense manner.

Pisces often need to be protected, that is how rare and stunning their hearts are.
