The Astrological Sun Signs: The Personality of Pisces

Those born between February 19th and March 20th are born under the sign of Pisces, the twelfth and final of the sun signs in western astrology. This compassionate sign represents reincarnation and eternity. Pisces is the sign of the fish and individuals with the fish as a ruler tend to express themselves through the words "I believe."


The Character of Pisces


Pisceans have a strong connection to the spirit world, giving them an otherworldly quality that the other signs sometimes lack. If you want to get mystical about it, those born under this sign can be described as having one foot in the spirit world. If you are a Pisces you may find yourself torn between the necessity of the physical world and the attraction of more spiritual concerns. Because of this, you tend to split your focus.


Like the other water signs, you are deeply attracted to the depth of information hidden in the human psyche. You are generally intuitive and have strong ties to prophecy and the occult. When a Pisces gets a hunch, it's often right, or at least very close. This is especially true of hunches involving time.


Of all the signs, Pisces is the one most likely to inadvertently engineer their own downfall. Impracticality is a way of life for you, so falling prey to overindulgence happens far too often. Combine this trait with your penchant for hanging out with all the wrong people, people who may prey on your good nature, and you often get yourself into trouble. The good news is you recognize this. The bad news is that you're not very good at escaping trouble on your own. You are naturally conflicted about how to solve problems, so conflicted that you tend to stagnate and do nothing. You can overcome this trait, however, with determination and by making a decision and sticking to it.


At your core, you're likely unsure of yourself. Because of this, you tend to look for the easiest and fastest way out of any situation. Sometimes this works for you. Other times it really doesn't. Finding the right solution, instead of the easiest one, is difficult for those born under this sign.


Pisces and Its Relationship With Others


Pisces is ruled by the most elusive of all planets, the mysterious Neptune. This makes you difficult to pin down, giving you a reputation for avoiding commitment. You flow like the sea your sign is ruled by, and you are highly influenced by your surroundings, including people. You tend to absorb the feelings of others, so if your friend is sorrowful, so are you. This empathy is a powerful gift, but you tend to take it to extremes. This can annoy others around you, especially when it comes to sorrow and grief.


Your intuition and empathy are unmatched, but this sometimes creates more problems than it solves. You can be too impressionable, too easily swayed, and you don't like to say no. Pisces tend to fall in with the wrong crowd, not through any design, but through a series of apparent accidents. Learning to avoid this and refuse to engage when you shouldn't tends to take a lifetime, with many Pisceans never mastering this ability.


When it comes to your career, things can get dicey. Most Pisceans are not suited for office jobs, and the world of business and high finance can be overwhelming. This is not to say that all Pisceans must avoid these careers, but most would do better in a more independent career. Some will choose to be artists, musicians, or even writers. Others will decide an entrepreneurial path will suit them best. Some become truck drivers, or couriers, or any other job that allows them to be alone most of the time, or at least some of the time. Pisceans tend to make good librarians and archivists as well. Independence is key for the true Piscean, so any job that allows for it can suit.


Loyal, generous, and naturally kind, Pisceans tend not to be concerned with the superficial. If you are a Pisces, you are likely a good friend who looks to make deep and lasting connections with people.
