♓︎ Zodiac sign · Water
Pisces
The water sign of Jupiter and Neptune, Pisces is feeling, compassion, and the thin line between dream and reality.
The Pisces character
Pisces is deep feeling, imagination, and compassion. It takes in the world with its whole skin, soaking up the moods around it, drawn to art and reverie. Its edges blur easily, so it needs a quiet harbor.
Pisces in love
In love, Pisces holds nothing back, all tenderness and romance, dissolving into the other. It needs someone who won't bruise that softness and can return it to itself.
Pisces at work
Pisces shines where imagination, intuition, and soul are needed: art, caregiving, anything done from the heart. Rigid rules and cold numbers dim its glow.
Strengths and shadows
Strengths: compassion, imagination, sensitivity, kindness.
Weak spots: escapism, weak will, self-sacrifice.
Pisces's shadow is escaping into the fog: self-pity, drifting with the current, drowning pain in fantasy.
Pisces on the zodiac wheel
The arc 330°-360°, the twelfth of the twelve sectors, belongs to Pisces, and the Sun crosses it from February 19 to March 20. A nocturnal sign of the mutable cross, it hands over winter: the season already tipping into the next one. On the wheel it sits right after Aquarius and right before Aries.
Directly opposite, at a clean 180°, sits Virgo: the most charged axis of the wheel, the one that pulls and clashes at once. At 120° come Cancer and Scorpio, sharing the element water, and at 60° Taurus and Capricorn, the friendly element. At 90° stands the square with Gemini and Sagittarius: the same mutable cross with different elements, and that is where it rubs. The quincunx toward Leo and Libra closes the list, nothing shared and everything to adjust.
What to remember
The arc 330°-360° is one twelfth of the circle, and the tone of that twelfth comes from Jupiter. Your Sun sign is one stroke of the sky: the Moon, the ascendant and the planets weigh as much in your chart as this twelfth slice of the wheel does. I don't read fate off water or off the mutable cross. It's a cast of character, the arc 330°-360° and nothing more, with no verdict in it.
And if you want a talisman, Pisces has its own stones and charms, picked by water and by Jupiter.
FAQ
What zodiac sign is someone born between February 19 and March 20?
Pisces. The Sun crosses the arc 330°-360° from February 19 to March 20, so any date in that range belongs to this sign. Right on the cusp the boundary drifts by a day, because Aquarius runs out before it and Aries takes over after, so anyone born there should confirm it with a natal chart, which counts year, time and city.
What element and ruler does Pisces have, from February 19 to March 20?
Element: Water. Modality: mutable. Ruler: Jupiter and Neptune. Out of that mix comes a nocturnal sign that hands over winter: water sets the temperature, the mutable cross sets the way of moving, and Jupiter supplies the motive underneath.
Which signs suit Pisces best: Cancer, Scorpio or Taurus?
The softest angle is the 120° trine: Cancer and Scorpio, sharing the element water. The roughest is the 90° square - Gemini and Sagittarius - together with the opposition to Virgo. By Sun alone the reading stays coarse, so start with who Pisces matches and refine it with the Moon, the ascendant and the exact degree of Jupiter.
The whole sky of your birth minute says far more than the Sun alone.
