The Inner World
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, containing a little bit of every sign that came before it. This makes them the "old souls" of the wheel. They are deeply empathetic, often absorbing the emotions of everyone in the room like a psychic sponge. They live with one foot in reality and one foot in the dream world.
They are the artists, the mystics, and the healers. They have boundless imagination and creativity. However, the harshness of the real world can be too much for them, leading them to escape into fantasy, addiction, or sleep. They need to learn to set boundaries to protect their sensitive energy fields.

Love, Sex & Compatibility
Pisces is the true romantic of the zodiac. They believe in fairy tales and soulmates. When they fall in love, they merge completely with their partner. They are self-sacrificing and incredibly caring. However, they can put their partners on a pedestal and be disappointed when reality sets in.
Sexually, Pisces views intimacy as a spiritual experience. It is a merging of souls. They are tender, intuitive lovers who can anticipate their partner's needs without a word. They love roleplay and fantasy in the bedroom.
Compatibility is strong with Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio) who share their emotional depth. Earth signs (Taurus, Capricorn) provide the container for Pisces' water. Virgo, their opposite, is the Anchor to their Ship—Virgo handles the details so Pisces can dream.
Career
Pisces needs work that has meaning or creative expression. They wither in soulless corporate jobs. They excel as artists, musicians, nurses, therapists, veterinarians, and social workers. Any role where they can help others or create beauty is ideal.
Money
Money is a fluid concept for Pisces. They are often not motivated by money itself, but by what it can do. They can be impractical with finances, spending on charity or art while forgetting to pay the electric bill. They usually need a partner or an accountant to help ground them financially.
Friends & Family
Friends
Family
Family is important, but Pisces often feels connected to the "human family" as a whole. As parents, they are loving and permissive, encouraging their children's creativity. They struggle with discipline but excel at emotional support.
The Pisces Man
The Pisces man is the sensitive poet. He is romantic, gentle, and mysterious. He is not a macho man; he is a lover. He lives in his own world. He looks for a muse. He can be slippery and hard to pin down because he hates confrontation.
To win him, connect with him on a spiritual or artistic level. Be gentle. Do not nag him. He needs a partner who can ground him without crushing his dreams.
The Pisces Woman
The Pisces woman is an enchantment. She is feminine, soft, and unbelievably intuitive. She seems to float through life. She is a natural healer. She attracts people who need saving, so she needs to be careful not to become a martyr.
She wants magic in a relationship. Flowers, poetry, deep connection. She needs a partner who protects her sensitivity. If you treat her well, she will love you with a depth that is otherworldly.
