Like the fish that symbolizes them, Pisces dislikes making waves and often prefers to ‘go with the flow.’ They’re the most sensitive of the signs, selfless, spiritual, and intuitive. You’ll often find them helping others without thought of getting anything back. They’re very friendly and popular and get along well with all kinds of people. Compassionate and charitable, they need to watch out or they’ll be taken advantage of by others.

Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions. This represents the constant division of their attention between what is real and what is not. They’re kind and good natured, often generous, but are also somewhat weak-willed. They’re capable of hard work and dedicated service, but they also often take the role of a martyr. Pisces is compassionate, faithful, and caring and make pleasant companions, but they also tend to be very fond of gossip which makes them indiscreet in their conversations.

With Neptune as their ruling planet, Pisces are often intuitive and have an artistic talent. Neptune is the planet that rules creativity and dreams, and it encourages Pisces to explore their boundless imagination. They have a genial, pleasure-loving disposition and often succeed as journalists or actors. But they also tend to wear rose-colored glasses instead of addressing their problems, which gives them a reputation for being flaky or delusional.

Famous Pisces include: Albert Einstein, Victor Hugo, Daniel Craig, Elizabeth Taylor, Sidney Poitier, Bruce Willis, Dr. Seuss, Jon Bon Jovi, Drew Barrymore, Rue McClanahan, Michael Cain, Liza Minnelli, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning
