Pisces, born between February 19 and March 20, is the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac and the last of the water signs. Traditionally ruled by Jupiter and, in modern astrology, by Neptune – the planet of dreams, imagination and spirituality – Pisces is often described as the most sensitive and creative sign. Its symbol is two fish swimming in opposite directions.
A world of imagination
Pisces lives partly in the world of dreams, music and stories. Many Pisces people are artists, musicians, writers or simply daydreamers with remarkable inner lives. They see beauty and meaning where others see only the ordinary.
Empathy without borders
Pisces absorbs the emotions of people around it like a sponge. It feels others’ joy and sadness as if it were its own. This makes Pisces incredibly compassionate – but it also means it needs time alone to recover from busy, emotional environments.
The two fish
The fish swimming in opposite directions are often seen as Pisces’ inner tension: between dream and reality, giving and self-protection. Learning to balance the two is a central theme of this sign’s life.
Key strengths
- Compassion – deep care for people and animals.
- Creativity – a rich imagination.
- Intuition – strong gut feelings.
