Who Is Pisces?

As a water sign, Pisces is equipped with compassion, empathy, and emotional intelligence. This water is represented, however, with not just a fish, but two fish. Therefore, Pisces may be doubled in these qualities listed above, as well as in intuitive ability.

Being ruled by the planet Neptune, Pisces takes on the etheric and mystical quality of the dreamy water planet. Neptune is often symbolic of both illusions and the spiritual realms. This may give these two fish an ability to channel that which may exist, but remains unseen to many of the other signs.

Not only is Pisces gifted with a strong intuition, but it can appear to be psychic at times. Unfortunately, this means that their physical vessel is quite sensitive to surrounding energies, where Pisces may frequently isolate to keep itself safe. However, this sign is highly in tune to frequency and vibration, specifically when it comes to human complexity.

One with their Sun sign in Pisces is generally kind, caring, and very compassionate. They’re greatly empathetic. This means that they easily pick up other’s emotions, like a sponge. It’s important that a Pisces person meditate and stay grounded so that they’re not overwhelmed by emotion. Sometimes, it can even be difficult to know whether they are feeling their own emotions or the emotions of the people around them.

Highly sensitive individuals, they do not take criticism well and may get their feelings hurt quite easily. Don’t mistake them for weaklings, however! They may run away from adversity if it’s mean and unnecessary, but they’re not cowards by any means.

An angry Pisces isn’t fun to deal with, but overall, they’re harmless. This is the sign that picks up stray animals and desires to save the world from all of its ugliness. They’re more easily able to handle the innocence of animals due to their deep understanding of the follies of human nature.

A Pisces person is known as a mystic or a seer and usually admits to feeling like they have some type of psychic ability. With a dreamy quality, this mystical, double fish almost seems to swim between two worlds. They’re highly intuitive and easily see right through any disingenuous behavior or lies.

Introverted and artistic, it’s not uncommon for a Pisces person to isolate themselves frequently, and they’re quite prone to battling depression. To deal with the darkness of the world, they often adopt dark humor to cope. They’re silly and enjoy the fun of smaller gatherings and close friendships, but can regularly become codependent or clingy.

If their natal Moon sign is Pisces, they don’t even need words to understand how someone truly feels. Although they’re very supportive and gentle to those they care about, they can get easily overwhelmed by intense energies or dark feelings. So, it’s important they take plenty of time to decompress.

Although they feel very deeply and at a wide array, they may have a difficult time properly expressing or naming the things they feel. Because they’re quite artistic and creative, it could be much easier for them to draw or write their feeling(s) instead. Romantic, affectionate, and emotional, it’s essential that friends, family, and partners are sensitive to their depths.

With stress or sadness, they may seek to escape the heaviness by the use of drugs, alcohol, or other temporary distractions. They’re no stranger to escapism, but because they are highly sensitive, they’re also susceptible to toxicity, poisoning, and/or overdose if they’re really trying to shut down. It’s kind of easy for them to spiral and get lost through instant gratifications.

For optimum emotional health and well-being, a Pisces Moon always needs a pet or two. Considering they connect in a more telepathic way than other signs, pets provide them with unconditional love that is difficult to get from humans. Their love for their animals will allow them to become a more responsible and organized person because they’ll always make sure they’re cared for.

For Pisces moon, pets are therapeutic. They shouldn’t become a substitute for human connection, however. Building their ability to strengthen their bonds with other people would greatly benefit them in the future.

If their rising sign is Pisces, they are ruled by the planet Neptune! This oftentimes gives them a whimsical vibe. Conversely, they may come off as closed-off and moody.

Although they’re receptive when others are speaking with them, they may also be aloof. They have a chameleon-like ability to adapt to different environments and people, often reflecting the moods and energies around them. This adaptability can make them seem elusive or hard to pin down, as they effortlessly blend into various social settings.

Their personality seems to change frequently, and it all depends on the company they keep. They simply go with the flow. With acquaintances, they’re quite cheery and talkative, yet soft-spoken.

Naturally, they see potential in all things, and it’s easy for them to see the best in everyone. Unfortunately, there have been a number of times in life when people have taken advantage of their openness and kindness. They shouldn’t allow these situations to turn them cold or bitter. They have a lot of heart to offer to the world, and they may not realize the good they can actually do to make changes.

Remember that they’re a mermaid and not an outlander! Though they may be distracted by dreams or something farther off than others can see, it’s important they find their confidence and show the world all that is still majestic, sweet, and worth living for.

Pisces Rising Appearance

Their appearance might reflect a whimsical or ethereal quality, with expressive eyes that seem to hold a world of emotions. Their demeanor and movements are fluid and graceful. As far as their clothing, they’ll often take on a Bohemian style with oversized sleeves and various, thin layers of different fabrics.

Pisces Rising people generally have soft and feminine facial features, sometimes with thicker flesh on their cheeks or button noses. Many of them have quite sensitive skin and are prone to frequent breakouts. Lastly, they may have many types of food allergies and should take caution when trying new things.
