Pisces Personality: February 19 - March 20

Pisces is the twelfth sign of the astrological year and is known by its astrological symbol, 
the Fish. Pisces natives are in touch with their emotions, though not to the point of 
mawkishness. With Neptune as the ruling planet, they are apt to be idealists. Pisces 
natives are physically and emotionally strong but may put their hardiness to the test 
if they try to resolve others' emotional conflicts. Below you’ll find general characteristics 
for the Pisces man, woman, child, lover, and friend. At the bottom of this page, you’ll 
find links to articles with detailed personality profiles for every day that falls under the 
Pisces sign. Read on to see if the characteristics ring true for you or the Fish in your life.

The Pisces Man
The man born under the Pisces sign has great warmth and charm. He is not afraid to 
show vulnerabilities -- in fact, he displays them with pride. He connects with others on 
an emotionally satisfying level. As a parent or guardian, he may try to relive or remake 
his early relationships to spiritualize them. If his work or profession does not provide the 
self-expression he needs, he will look for it in hobbies. Relationships make up the primary 
focus of this man's life.

The Pisces Woman
The Pisces woman is mysterious but not aloof. She possesses an ageless charm that is 
enthralling to those who know her. Her capacity for sympathy and her understanding 
make her stand out. Pisces women find their greatest fulfillment through personal relationships. 
Even when talented, they may not respect their gifts. Many Pisces women are self-conscious 
and need a stronger individual to bring out their best qualities.

The Pisces Child
Pisces children are dreamers. At times they may seem caught up in their illusions and unable 
to tell reality from fantasy. These little ones should be allowed to explore the limitless boundaries 
of imagination without fear of ridicule. Playing games of imagination allows Pisces children to safely 
explore their creativity.

The Pisces Lover
Pisces men and women have an idealistic view of love and romance. Because of their sensitivity, 
they often prefer a fairy tale scenario to the real thing. Pisces know their vulnerabilities and are 
sometimes afraid the magic "bubble" will burst. The Piscean individual who is deeply in love may 
sacrifice themselves for their lover.

The Pisces Friend
Friendship comes naturally to Pisceans. Their commitment to easing the pain of others often draws 
them to less fortunate individuals. But pity is not involved. Although they may seem weak or unfocused, 
they are sympathetic listeners. They have strong links to the past and are likely to keep the same friends 
for years. Also, because of their intense family ties, Pisces natives may count a sibling or other relative 
among their closest friends.
