General Pisces Characteristics

[edit]

The Upside

There’s a persistent rumor among astrologers that you can always spot a Pisces by their crossed legs, even if they’re standing. Like many clichés, this one has a grain of truth in it. Perhaps this is because Pisces' symbol, two fish tied by an invisible cord as they swim in opposite directions, is being expressed.

This may account for some of the duality seen within the Pisces personality as well. Intuitive, spiritual and always there with a kind smile; these are the Pisces characteristics we know and love best. Not only are compassionate Pisces great friends, but because of their strong musical and artistic talents, they make for some fantastic dinner companions! Moreover, like the symbolic dual fish, Pisces is very adept at “feeling” the under currents in the air, and then acting appropriately.

The Downside

It’s those very same undercurrents, Pisces, that can be your undoing. Pisces can sometimes swim in deep, murky waters, a trait that they often internalize. It’s rare to see a Pisces complain; they usually hold their conflict in until it overtakes them. And while it’s very true that Pisces can count kindness as one of their greatest assets, when the going gets rough, their desire to escape becomes prevalent.

Neptune, your guardian ruler, rules all forms of escapism; sleeping pills, narcotics and alcohol all fall under this planet's domain. Steer clear of the pull of escapism, while embracing your inner truths, and you’ll be quite successful in life.

Long Term Trends

Now let's look at some long term trends for you Pisces. Note that many of these trends will be with you in the coming years.

Position of Jupiter

We always turn to the position of Jupiter to see where you’ll have the most luck during a current cycle. Jupiter’s job is to show you all the possibilities available to you, and it accomplishes this by expanding the house it’s in. For example, when Jupiter is housed in your eleventh house of hopes, wishes and dreams, you can expect a dearly held and cherished dream to come true. Regardless of the house, Jupiter is known for leaving its biggest gift at the end of a cycle, so plan accordingly!

Position of Saturn

Saturn, the planet of karma, teaches us where we need to learn our greatest lessons, so it makes good astrological sense that it follows Jupiter through our charts. While Jupiter expands our horizons, Saturn asks us to pull back.

Saturnine structures are built to last, so no matter how difficult it may seem (and it is difficult!), know that by the time Saturn is done with a particular section of your chart (usually about two years), whatever remains and whatever new plans you’ve put into place are have a solid foundation! Also take comfort in knowing that Saturn, especially if you’ve learned your karmic lessons well, also leaves a gift for you. See, there’s a silver lining to every cloud!

Best Romantic Matches

When it comes to matters of the heart, Pisces gets along best with:

Water Signs: These includes fellow Pisces, Cancers and Scorpios. These are good matches for you because they’ll be able to match your emotional intensity and appreciate your dreamy outlook on life.

Earth Signs: Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo are all signs you’ll be compatible with. Earth signs tend to be emotionally stable and live highly structured lives, something you may secretly desire.

Fire and Air Signs: Although your Pisces characteristics allow you to get along with almost all of the signs of the zodiac, at least on a friendship level, it really is best not to link up romantically with the fire signs (Leo, Aries, Sagittarius) or the air signs (Libra, Aquarius and Gemini). These signs are a bit too flirtatious and socially available to make Pisces truly comfortable.
