Pisces Personality

The receptive energy of the Pisces is the most malleable and open of the signs. You tend to have soft edges and frayed boundaries, making you naturally empathic and vulnerable to absorbing the energies of those around you. 

Your still nature means others flow into and around you, making it hard for you to discern your individual feelings in the context of the whole. The Pisces soul has a collective vibration and you are carrying energy that moves like water with a certain flow and fluidity. Your sign is associated with the feet and dancing, and these are the rhythmic tides you often find yourself following in . 

You are intuitive and empathic, dreamy and full of wanderlust. Your life often takes you into the dreamlike layers of your psyche. Finding your way in a world that values rigid rationality is hard for your fantasy-loving self to participate in. Your immense creativity allows you to build entire worlds and stories in your mind’s eye. 

Your approach to other people is one of curiosity and confusion. You are ruled by the planet Neptune, which can lead to fogginess or lack of clarity. At times, you look at the world and others and wonder why things are the way they are. You are naturally an idealist and want the best for everyone. 

Your sensitivity can be channeled into making art, expanding consciousness, and helping people. As a water sign (along with Scorpio and Cancer), you feel deeply and intensely. These energies, once felt, need to go somewhere. This often leads you on many different adventures and paths in life that allow you to understand, know, and believe that there is something more than what is right in front of you. 

Pisces in Love

Your sign is a hopeless romantic through and through. Pisces fall for people and fall hard. The emotional nature of your being cuts right through the surface layers and sees people for their emotional self. This awareness makes it so people like to be in your presence and held by your nurturing energy. Creating good boundaries for yourself can help you avoid relationships that are not right for you. 

In addition to being very loving and forthright with your affection, you are also unique and fantasy-oriented in your approach to relationships. This can make your experiences connecting with others out of the ordinary, playing into your appreciation for glamour and dreaminess. 

You tend to like soft touch and eye contact, making a connection for you doesn’t always need to be physical — sometimes you just feel it energetically as your sign is so sensitive to the energy of others. 

Your preference tends to be to get into long-term relationships so you can really excavate and get to know another person’s deepest self. The security of commitment helps you feel more stable in life and able to focus on other things that you want to achieve outside of the relationships. You tend to thrive when in long-term commitments. 

Your symbol is two fish swimming in opposite directions. This speaks to your sense of movement and fluidity in love, and your reconciliation of duality through union with others. 

Pisces Career + Money

Possible Careers: Creative writer, artist, painter, hospice nurse, psychic, child-care worker, marine biologist, medicine maker, astrologer, spiritual counselor, musician, dancer, actor, make-up artist, designer, perfumer, allergist, environmentalist, vet, or vet tech, pet groomer, pet shop owner, content creator, photographer, videographer, set designer

The Pisces mind is very attuned to subtle energies and things that are just out of sight or generally undetected. You can sense things, intuitively, and feel things that others often miss. 

Careers that allow you to tap into these layers of reality are what will spark your imagination and allow you to thrive. Making medicine, helping people with allergies, making perfumes, studying ecosystems — all things that are made up of many energetic parts, are areas where you can find your passion. 

You are also very creative — Neptune rules the concept of glamour, therefore working in film, videography, photography, make-up and set design, costumer, or other related careers are a possible niche for you as well. You like to perform as a way of sharing beauty with others as well; doing drag, dancing, or being a musician are other career paths for you as well. 

You also have a heart of service and a spiritual bent for helping others. Becoming an astrological counselor, hospice nurse, spiritual counselor, or psychic are other avenues you may explore. 

Money for you comes and goes in life. You don’t generally attach yourself too close to making a lot of money, but don’t mind if that happens. Your main purpose is to live life how you want. It can take time to figure out what you like as settling on any one job or career isn’t generally the path you choose to take. 

Pisces Psyche + Life Path

The life path for a Pisces is inherently spiritual as your nature is to be in touch with the unseen layers of reality and bring a sense of unity and merging into physical reality. You feel things and sense things. Often called to a mystical path or life of religious devotion is possible for you. 

Pisces is also ruled by the planet Jupiter, which symbolizes consciousness expansion. With the soul of an artist and traveler, you bring this expanded sense of being into the world. You show people the unknown and help tap into the gentle mysteries of the universe. Your journey often unfolds slowly and typically can only be understood in retrospect. 

Life can feel dreamlike to you at times, as you explore the intangible through your very being. You share your visions through the things that you make, the artistry in how you carry yourself, and the spiritual quality of your energetic self. The density and heaviness of this world can get to you in many ways — but your spirit finds a way to live in the magical energetic currents that weave the world.
