Pisces zodiac sign: dates, traits and meaning

Pisces symbolizes imagination, empathy and the dissolving of boundaries – the end of the cycle before a new one begins. It is associated with compassion, creativity and intuition.

Pisces tends to absorb the moods around it like a sponge. Gentle boundaries protect that sensitivity without closing it off.

Pisces as Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun in Pisces

A Pisces Sun tends to feel the world through a wide, open lens. You may be imaginative, compassionate and drawn to music, art, stories or anything that dissolves ordinary boundaries. Your empathy is a gift; the growth edge is keeping gentle boundaries so you do not carry everyone's weather.

Moon in Pisces

With the Moon in Pisces, emotions tend to be fluid and absorbent – you may soak up the moods around you. Quiet time, creative play and dreamy downtime often help you return to yourself. You tend to offer kindness easily and forgive readily.

Pisces rising

A Pisces rising often makes a soft, approachable first impression. People may see you as gentle, artistic or a little hard to pin down. You tend to sense the atmosphere of a new place before you consciously think about it.
