Intuitive, compassionate and richly imaginative — the sign of the ocean.

- Ruling planet
- Neptune
Pisces is where boundaries soften. This Neptune-ruled water sign hears what the person across from it feels inside its own body; empathy isn't a learned skill but a natural state.
The Piscean imagination is not an escape but a way of coping with the world. Art, music and dreams carry as much information to Pisces as facts do.

Love and relationships
Pisces gives itself entirely in love, sometimes to the point of forgetting itself. It tends to idealise; what keeps the relationship healthy is a partner who can tell the dream from the reality.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Pisces dates?
February 19 – March 20. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and falls on the threshold where winter ends and spring begins. Born between February 18–20 or March 19–21, your sign may come out as Aquarius or Aries depending on the hour.
What does the Pisces ruling planet mean?
Pisces is ruled by Jupiter in traditional astrology and by Neptune in the modern reading. Jupiter expands; Neptune dissolves boundaries. Together they explain the empathy and the imagination — but the same dissolving effect makes it harder to tell where you end and the other person begins.
