Pisces are not typical peopl
. They are too idealistic and impractical for every day run of the mill living. Pisces are sensitive and instinctual rather than bookish or mechanical.

In business, Pisces can be unreliable, unmotivated, easily distracted, and have their heads in the clouds all the time. The not so nice side of Pisces manifests as being a gossip, indiscreet, and gullible.

Pisces Profession & Career

Pisces have an intrinsic love of water, and are particularly well-suited towards jobs that keep them near the sea. Pisces notable creativity includes a natural ability to imitate or mirror another person as well as enter into their feelings. These attributes also make Pisces incredible character actors, and many Pisceans find great success on stage or in films.

The much vaunted Pisces empathy for others makes them very effective in civil service and in the legal arena, particularly as an advocate for the less fortunate. Many police officers, attorneys and judges are Pisces.

Pisces intuitive and metaphysical nature can lead them into careers in religion or to service as mediums and psychics. The search for spiritual meaning is never-ending for Pisces and a work situation that helps them follow this quest can be deeply rewarding.

Owing to their versatility and adaptability, Pisces can often follow several radically different career paths during their lifetime. For example, it is not at all uncommon for a Pisces to work effectively in one long-term "day job" capacity, while pursuing a radically different "passion" after work or on weekends. Where others may feel encumbered by their work identity, Pisces chameleon-like capacity for change allows them to shed their skin and pursue things others can only dream about while stuck in their rut.

Warning for Pisces

When Pisces feel rejected or get the blues, they REALLY get the blues. Pisces are easily lured to drugs or alcohol for escape or distraction. Pisces should avoid this for obvious reasons, but particularly because of their highly addictive, compulsive nature. Pisces can easily develop a variety of vice habits including excessive gambling, compulsive shopping, and overspending.

Pisces can suffer from a general lack of decisiveness and are easily distracted from their objectives. Pisces have a propensity towards depression and restlessness when not feeling fulfilled. They should live in sunny, warm climates, close to bodies of water.

Pisces should be ritualistic about exercise and fitness in order to fight back melancholy. Pisces must make a concerted effort to avoid their restlessness and desire to do something new in order to succeed and make their life work better.

Love Comes Easy To Pisces

Love comes easily and naturally to Pisces. Hopelessly romantic, Pisces are affectionate, committed and loyal partners. Pisces have the natural ability to read and understand their mate’s feelings and needs fairly effortlessly. Quite often, that can lead to a lot of hurt for gentle Pisces who might not too easily find a mate that "gets" them quite the same way.


Pisces & Aquarius 
Pisces and Aquarius vacilate between harmony and conflict. Some of the great partnerships of all time feature the Pisces and Aquarius dynamic. This push/pull is both an incredible catalyst but also a potential powderkeg.

Pisces and other Pisces enjoy effortless communication amongst themselves and the deep contentment that comes from truly being understood and loved unconditionally. But there is a lot of room for disaster when two Pisces split in divergent directions. Inevitably, it is deeply hurtful for both. But when it works... It’s magic.

Pisces & Aries 
Pisces and Aries are quite literally like fire and water. The pioneering and adventurous Aries spirit can be very exciting to the easy going Pisces. The calming safety of Pisces can be a perfect respite when Aries needs someone to understand why they are so determined and adventurous. On the other hand, Pisces are not nearly as driven as Aries which can cause problems for either.

Pisces & Taurus 
Pisces and Taurus are compatible but the relationship can often be a case of the have and have nots. Taurus likes nice things, money equals security to Taurus and having both is paramount. PIsces also enjoy and appreciate finer things in life though Pisces are not nearly as naturally inclined to "acquire" as Taurus.

Pisces also tend to rely on their mates heavily which plays to the Cancer tendencies towards protection and safety.

Pisces & Leo 
Pisces and Leo can irritate each other initially as Leo is the leader of the pack, and Pisces tend to be wary of hypercompetitive alpha types. When Pisces can give Leo full undivided attention and Leo can learn to rely on Pisces incredible intuition and talent this can be a fruitful relationship full of all that life can offer.

Pisces & Virgo 
Pisces and Virgo brings the technical and efficient Virgo ingenuity together with the creative, imaginative thinking that is so evident in Pisces. Virgo wants good health and things done right while Pisces are obliging and geat at problem solving.

Pisces & Libra 
Libras can be particularly compatible with Pisces in long-term relationships as the balanced Libra helps offset the spontaneous Pisces spirit. Libra is well mannered and proper with a great sense of style. Pisces appreciate the beauty and cultured personality of Libra.

Pisces & Scorpio 
Pisces and Scorpio are most compatible when Pisces can be pragmatic and decisive. Scorpio is prone to strong likes and dislikes and is extremely loyal or equally hostile towards perceived enemies. The world is very black and white to Scorpio. Pisces find it very easy to read Scorpio because they often communicate nonverbally with looks and posture rather than words.

Pisces & Sagittarius 
Pisces and Sagittarius can be a mind-blowing partnership as both have great capacity for self-awareness and continually reaching new levels of personal understanding. Sagittarius and Pisces are both enthusiastic and good sports making for lots of happy times and smiles.

Pisces & Capricorn
