About Pisces

Pisces picks up the mood of a room before the door has closed. You drift and daydream, and somehow you always know when a friend needs a text.

Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions, tied together by a cord. In the Greek story, Aphrodite and her son Eros turned into fish to escape Typhon, the same giant that sent Pan diving into the Nile, and they tied themselves together so they wouldn't lose each other in the river. The star at the knot is Alrescha, Arabic for 'the cord.'

Pisces in love

Pisces is the hopeless romantic who still keeps old ticket stubs. You love with your whole imagination, and you see the best in people, sometimes before they've earned it. The right person is kind, a little dreamy too, and good at reminding you that your own needs count.

Pisces at work

Creative work and anything where compassion counts, like art, music or helping people, suit Pisces well. You bring imagination to problems and kindness to the team. Clear deadlines and a friendly reminder help, because time gets slippery when you're absorbed.

Pisces as a friend

Everyone confides in you, because you listen without judging and you remember how it felt. You're up for a spontaneous movie night or a long drive with no destination. The best of your friends check in on you as often as you check in on them.

Best matches

Cancer and Scorpio understand your feelings without needing them spelled out, and those water trines make it all flow. Earth signs Taurus and Capricorn give you solid ground and a calm place to land. Virgo, your opposite, brings order to your dreams, and you remind Virgo that not everything needs fixing.

Pisces season

Feb 19 to Mar 20

Pisces season closes out the zodiac, from mid-February to the March equinox, when winter's wearing thin and everyone's waiting on spring. Moods get dreamier and naps feel earned. It's a good time to rest, make something and let an old chapter finish before Aries starts the wheel over.
