Okay, I don’t even use gender or sex when I do compatibility. Personally? I don’t think it makes too much of a difference? I mean, I know my belief and take on gender is different than a lot of people (you see, I believe our bodies are simply skin suits, and our souls are genderless). So, personally, I’m not even sure what same-sex or different-sex has to do with compatibility? But, I mean, I understand not everyone approaches it that way, and many people value different sex-orientated compatibility interpretations…
Therefore, regardless of your sex,
Pisces/Leo tends to not be a very good relationship. On one hand, many Leos thrive on generosity and Pisces are quite giving as well— but the way they express it differs (Leos tend to only do things that suit them, or they agree with, whereas Pisces are more flexible). And then you think of Leo, who tends to love attention… which, well, as a Pisces, this is fine and dandy! Pisces generally don’t mind giving the spotlight over to someone else.
However, Leo’s tend to not be too aware of the emotional needs of others. They tend to be a little egocentric that way— you know, me-centered. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, they just can forget to check in with the needs of others. And Pisces don’t make their needs known by others. We tend to… hope people magically understand what we’re going through, and hope they meet our needs. And with a Leo, more often then not, they aren’t going to meet that need.
This will leave a Pisces as emotionally unsatisfied, and they won’t feel as though they truly connect with the Leo. At least not on a deep, passionate level.
Your boyfriends sounds like the most watery man alive. I just want to pinch his cheeks. Hahaha! c: Good, I’m happy you two are doing well. <3
As friends, sure.
And … as far as “possibly more?”
Well, Pisces/Cancer is compatible. However, your moons aren’t compatible and I think the way you two would address and approach emotions would be very different. I don’t think the two of you would see eye-to-eye on a lot, and there might be a lot of bickering. The Pisces has a lot of fire, which might not work well with the feminine traits of the cancer/virgo… but if the Pisces resonates well with their feminine sign, as opposed to their masculine leo, it could be possible?
But, I’m inclined to lean towards no. :c
I’m a miss, & thank you. c:
Generally, Pisces/Aquarius doesn’t work out. So, as a double Pisces and a double Aquarius? I’m inclined to think this wouldn’t work out. :c The Pisces wouldn’t feel emotionally satisfied or connected with the Aquarius; we Pisces tend to love the idea of “oneness” and “becoming one” with our partner, whereas Aquarius would detest this idea because of how much they value their independence. Likewise, Aquarius would feel suffocated by the Pisces, and how clingy they tend to be. :c
Well, if you’re fifteen this might just be your hormones. I mean, with teenagers it’s kind of difficult to tell if it’s a “Pisces thing,” I think… because, well, hormones are through the roof. Most teens have crushes left and right because of what’s going on physiologically. I can tell you in my teenage years, I didn’t have many crushes (but I’ve also heard that males are incredibly horny in their teens, whereas women have the same physiological experience once they’re in their mid-twenties?), likewise, I’ve been on medication that notably reduces testosterone and reduces sex drive.
Anyways, I think some Pisces do fall very easily for people. Pisces generally feel very misunderstood, so when we find someone we feel attracted to, I think it’s easy for us to fall head over heels. However, I think some of us just as equally put love on a pedestal, and become standoff-ish when it comes to developing crushes. Like, we “hold out” because we keep waiting “for the right one.” Some of us do both!
This was a confusing response, wasn’t it?
Are you depressed? Have you ever been looked at for symptoms of depression? I’m no psychiatrist, of course, but I do know that what you described is very common in people who deal with depression. Is it common for Pisces? Well, I suppose so, considering Pisces are prone to depression.
As far as what I do to try and force myself to become passionate… ? Well, I don’t feel comfortable forcing myself. I feel as though I’m lying to myself, and that doesn’t sit right with me. When it comes to my studies, I’m a complete perfectionist (who doesn’t even believe in perfection). So, for me, it’s not even that I feel passionate with my studies— it’s more like if I don’t do my work, I become really stressed, anxious, etc. Maybe I ought to be fortunate for that?
But, yes, I do think what you said is very typical of people who deal with depression. So, if you’ve never seen a doctor about that and have the ability to, I think it might be worthwhile to look into that.
Yes, I feel what you described is quite normal.
About “feeling like it’s my need to be heard and appreciated,” I believe many Pisces feel at their best when they feel truly appreciated. Unfortunately sometimes Pisces get a bad reputation for being attention seeks because of this.
Anyways, yes, I think what you described is very Pisces-like.
I think most tricks to solve nervousness involve “positive thinking.” I think it’s very key for a Pisces to sincerely believe the words they would be saying to themselves. So, some people would try to think logically about the situation they’re in— but as a Pisces, if you don’t really feel it and believe it, I don’t think it’ll make a difference.
But believe it or not, breathing exercises will work if you manage to do them. I know if panic gets to you, it can become difficult to control your breathing… but I swear, if you can manage to control it, it works. Deep breathing has components that will slow down your (body’s) system. So, even though it’s terribly cliche… if you practice breathing exercises, doing that before— and if you can, during— presentations… It ought to help.
Oh gosh. ….. Maybe?
I mean, okay, Pisces and Virgo are opposing signs, and really don’t get along compatibility wise most of the time. But if the Pisces identifies strongly with their Scorpio ascendant, they might enjoy the stability of the relationship the Virgo/Capricorn can offer.
I would worry that the Pisces/Scorpio wouldn’t feel like the Virgo/Capricorn is affectionate enough, and that might cause problems… and, again, the Pisces/Virgo combination tends to be very rocky.
I think it might be tough to get going, but if you can overcome your differences, this is potentially a very committed relationship.
… I think I stared at my left hand/wrist/arm for a good five minutes after reading this. Hahahaha.
Definitely! c: These two signs are both very creative and peaceful, and I have many Libra friends myself. <3
I think this might work pretty well, actually. :u
I’m a little hesitant with the Aries ascendant, but I think the idea of a Pisces with a Gemini Ascendant with a Libra could be potentially very rewarding. c:
Okay, so, I feel as though I really ought to say something to you. Have you ever heard of a self-fulling prophecy? I mean, you probably have somewhere, but, have you ever explored what it really means? In depth?
Let me explain, you’re worried and scared about losing someone again, and since you don’t know what to do with yourself, I’m personally willing to bet you’re going to retreat within yourself and remain unwilling to open up and show your “vulnerable side.” Your “weaknesses,” as you put them. But if you’re not opening up to your partner, this could just as easily push your partner away.
Now, that’s probably not what you want to hear. But, now, back to the whole self-fulling prophecy bit. If you stay closed up, with the mindset of “I can’t show my weaknesses, I can’t be hurt again,” and continue like that, it’s very possible your boyfriend might dislike that. I mean, I obviously don’t know him— but if he’s opening up to you, and showing you his emotional side, and you’re closed off… that to me speaks to different styles of communication, and he might feel as though he’s not getting enough emotional satisfaction from you.
Now, I’m just worried he could leave because of that. And you’d lose him because of that. And you “can’t stand the feeling of having to lose someone again,"— but in a self-fulling prophecy, you’d be back, blaming it on "your weaknesses” or something you did that reflects on an old behavior.
I’m trying to get you to look at this new behavior, of not opening up.
I’m not trying to make it seem like either way you choose is a bad decision. I think if I were in your shoes, and I heard that, I’d be like, “Great. So either way, if I hide myself or show myself, I’m screwed.” No. No no no. I’m trying to get you to see there are possible pros and cons to both behaviors, and it varies with the individual. In the past, maybe you did value someone who didn’t like being exposed to the Piscean, watery, emotional behavior. But that doesn’t mean you have to shut it off. It means they weren’t the right person for you.
You say you don’t know what to do with yourself, and I say try your best to be yourself, as you would naturally, in nature, had you not been initially hurt. Now, I know that’s… like, “What? How can I possibly do that? I can’t just toss that away and pretend like it never happened.” I know. But, your boyfriend wasn’t the one who hurt you, was he? Give him a chance to see a little bit of you opening up. It doesn’t have to be huge— talk about little, trivial things at first that might secretly have a larger meaning to you. Like, I dunno, maybe the way you interpret a song. Start with little things. You can do it, c: It’ll be tough and uncomfortable at first. But if you two are truly a good match, you’ll be fine.

You have no idea how badly I wanted to reply to this with a gif.
Yes.
Okay, this might sound redundant or obvious, but— my answer to this is going to not be consistent if you were to ask it to someone else. I mean, if you ask another astrology blog, or pisces blog, or something, they might tell you something completely different.
Many people say Pisces are the most romantic zodiac; that we literally breathe romance. I agree. Most people automatically assume we’re just talking about love here, right? But, well, what does it mean to be a romantic? Well, it’s a person who has an idealized view of reality. I think the concept of “destiny” is very much a romantic concept.
Romance and what it entails, I believe, varies from individual to individual. You know, how “beauty is in the eye of the beholder?” I think a concept like romance, and what one considers romantic, is also very individual-biased.
Do I think it’s normal for a Pisces, then? Yes.
Many people, I think, would argue that, as a Pisces, the “most romantic sign,” you just" haven’t found ‘the one,’“ yet; but, I think your concept of romance is simply fulfilled by a different entity.
I think this would be a pretty good match. c:
I just worry that the Capricorn individual is going to have a really hard time opening up with their emotions. The Pisces individual might, too, given that their ascendant is Scorpio— but I think the Capricorn would guard their emotional-self like crazy. And if the Pisces needs that kind of “talk it out” communication style, the Capricorn might feel too uncomfortable with that. Don’t let that discourage you, though. The signs you mentioned are rather compatible.
Well, to say that they “pulled a stunt” is pretty vague. I can’t infer details of what this Pisces friend of yours did, and I therefore don’t know if it’s typical. … Does that make sense, or is my wording weird? I’m extra tired this morning, so forgive me if this response isn’t up to par.
As a rule of thumb? Pisces generally get a long with most signs, regardless of whether or not the friend happens to also be a Pisces. It’s that whole “carrying a bit of each sign within us” bit. I think every sign has potential to do something to someone that will result in a loss of friendship, though. Now, with Pisces? Okay, sure, most Pisces tend to be really… passive. We put others needs first, especially in a friendship. So if you’re looking at the zodiac and you wanted to make a list of signs “Least Likely to End A Friendship"— Pisces would probably be first. Maybe second, depending on who was doing the list.
So, does that make it normal? Well, I wouldn’t call it abnormal.
Haha, coincidence?
Well, I don’t think it’s too uncommon to find yourself gravitating towards specific signs. I’ve met people who say very similar things (with different signs). I suppose it’s just what you happen to favor in a friendship. c:

It is so hard to share the world inside my head with reality and connect the two. I think, because of that, I finally understand the symbol of the two fish swimming against one another. There is such a strong difference between my inner self and the one that lives in reality. I feel so frustrated when the two don’t meet. I wish I could always be the person inside my head, inside my heart, but it’s so hard to do so.
One of the hardest things we ever have to face, is letting go of someone who is bad for us, no matter how much we love them.
No matter what happens to me or who I meet I can’t help but always be attracted to a leo.
My initial response is that he was simply using this as a metaphor to put your chart into a tangible form for you to be able to understand. For instance, in my personal Mayan Astrology— the White Spectral Mirror— it often makes a reference to a “spiritual warrior.” It displays a concept with literary archetypes many of us already have. For instance, wolves are commonly used as symbols to portray omens— both good and bad. They’re a messenger, often spiritual, who show others things they are often unaware of or in need of seeing at the time of their appearance. They independent, but compassionate and intense. It’s likely if you asked many people to “describe what wolves mean symbolically” you’d get a list of words that are roughly the same in meaning.
However, it’s always possible that he was referring to a Native American Astrology. I find it a little creepy that you’d be asking this right now— because literally an hour ago I was researching this. I’m new to Native American Astrology, but I’m under the impression that there are different types? Such as Medicine Wheel/Earth Astrology, and Northern Native American Astrology, etc. (which makes sense, considering the different tribes?). However, in one particular Native American Astrology I found, the Wolf is actually akin to Pisces (in other types, it’s a Cougar or a Whale). For information on that, click here.
2/19 - 3/17: 28º00` Aquarius - 25º59` Pisces
[complete description]In general, all Ash individuals tend to have duality in their natures. On one side, they are artistic with an aura of vulnerability…on the other side, they are quite pragmatic. Being compassionate and sensitive, they understand the baser elements of humankind, as well as the spiritual aspect. The compassion of Ash individuals also extends to the animal kingdom and they have an innate ability to relieve suffering, both by physical nursing and the power of prayer. The faith of the Ash is rarely orthodox in a religious sense, but they are highly intuitive individuals, often possessing a strong deeper sense of spiritual matters. Ash people are highly adaptable and, despite a frail appearance, can recover from almost any emotional blow. On the negative side, theose governed by the Ash frequently experience trouble when handling the more mundane practicalities of everyday living. Often easily influenced by others, the Ash individual can be low on self-confidence and may become isolated.
Ash people have a creative genuis for making money but frequently fail to carry a project or idea through to its completion. As children, they require careful direction in order to learn how to use their talents to the fullest potential. Possessed of a somewhat mystical quality, Ash individuals are drawn to fantasy worlds. They adore the theater and movies, frequently blessed with beautiful singing voices although their preference is to work behind the scenes. They are also usually attracted to the ocean…or any other body of water…sometimes with fascination and sometimes with fear. There is no compromise for the vulnerable Ash individual where water is concerned…it will be one or the other. The career of the Ash person should never involve a routine which is too strict. The arts are a good choice but, because of the compassionate nature of these individuals, they are often drawn to the medical field and are good at organizing charitable functions.
Ash individuals are quick-witted, spontaneous and gregarious. They possess a lively curiosity and are intelligent, persuasive speakers. Being enthusiastic, inquisitive and communicative, Ash people love engaging in discussions about new ideas and projects. They are gentle individuals and, though easily hurt, are able to cope well with the negative in addition to the positive. They make for kind and considerate friends, ideal sweethearts and caring parents. Being romantics and dreamers, Ash individuals frequently appear to have one foot in the “Land of the Sidhe” and strive constantly to keep order in their lives. On the negative side, Ash people possess a nebulous quality which can lead to an inability to cope with the practicalities of everyday living. They are also easily influenced by others and have a hypersensitive nature which can undermine their self-confidence and ambitions. It is important for Ash people to focus their mental abilities or they are inclined to become nervous and irritable.
The Ash is the rough equivalent of Pisces in The Celtic Zodiac. Though the dates aren’t exactly the same, the description ought to fit for most who identify with Pisces. However, if you insist on looking at the end March dates not included in The Ash (March 18-20), click here.
As a Pisces, one of the most painful things I’ve ever done is both being best friends with and having feelings for an Aquarius. I can’t but help but to be emotionally attached and needy, and that is the thing she despises most.
I am personally of the belief that isolation is a necessity to Pisces. (And for that matter any individual who considers themselves introverted, or otherwise exhausted by being emerged in social activities). By isolating ourselves, we are given time to regain our energy. Pisces are hypersensitive to the environment, if you were to go from place to place— from crowd to crowd, even if you were traveling alone, I would imagine you would find yourself quite exhausted, frustrated, etc. For instance, sometimes I run errands by myself— I’ll go to the mall, or something. And though I am by myself, and don’t speak to anyone… I am surrounded by many. It is very exhausting. I need time to myself, as do many others who are impacted by their environment, to regenerate.
I also feel as though many Pisces would feel a sense of dissatisfaction if not given the chance to self-reflect/soul search/etc. Isolation I think is a key part in being left alone with your thoughts.
Isolation, however, for an extended period of time? Yes, I think it can be damaging. I think many Pisces thrive when they feel they are being helpful to others, or creating smiles on the faces of their friends. And, well, they can’t do that in isolation, can they? I also believe many Pisces become more depressed when they are alone… Being left alone with your thoughts can be both a good and bad thing to a Pisces. On one hand, our minds can explore. On the other? I’d think that we’d wind up getting fixated on “how much we dislike reality” or something to that affect.
I think it’s good to handle isolation in small doses.
Personally, I enjoy the metaphor many astrologers use involving Pisces and the sea. You know, how much of our sea is unexplored and unknown. I very much think every Pisces has a world inside of them, similar to how there are many different types of habitats in the ocean.
I think Piscean intuition is a gift, and I also think the love from a Pisces is a very special kind of love.
Hahaha, yes. Most definitely.
I love putting the decisions for little things on my friends because “I’m too indecisive! You guys know I’m a Pisces!” It drives them crazy and I think it’s hilarious.
As a Pisces, I always feel like I know a lot of people better than they know themselves. I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but it’s how I feel.
Also, I want to say that I really don’t like Aquarians. They grate on me.
the other signs are always telling me that i overreact about my feelings ಥ_ಥ
That’s odd. (well not really. some calculators are completely off) Are You sure you’re not entering different times? ie: 3 AM once, 3 PM another (by accident, of course)? If you’re having a hard time calculating your ascendant online, you could consult an astrologer. Someone who would draw out an entire chart for you, on the spot. See what they say.
I didn’t feel like enabling my submit page until now— but I feel like maybe this will make it easier. Now all Pisces Confessions will be done via /submit.
I apologize if I sound rude, but it’s a little annoying getting repetitive questions from anons who could answer their own questions by simply looking at the homepage.
I encourage everyone to use the links on my page before submitting questions.
I have a section called Astrology 101 for questions like “What is a Sun Sign?” “What is an Ascendant?” “What is a Moon Sign?"
I have another section, which is really quite fancy, called All Pisces Links. Where you can literally find every grouping/theme of posts I’ve done on the blog thus far.
Please, please, use the links. It’d be really cool if you did.
c: look here?
Well, Pisces are said to get along just fine with every sign— we tend to adapt well, and identify with most. As the last sign, our souls have journeyed through each zodiac.
However, I will say that Pisces ought to avoid people who don’t take their emotional needs into consideration. Many Pisces are hypersensitive to their environment, and this includes the people in said environment. Since it is many Pisces’ first instinct to give and put other people’s needs and interests first, if they are surrounded by people who never consider the Pisces, our energy will often be completely depleted. Now, if you can manage to stop volunteering yourself for this kind of relationship— great. There’s no need to avoid anyone. However, there are a few signs that sometimes forget about the emotional needs of others— such as Sagittarius, Gemini, and Aquarius. They always mean well, I think, but they’re very practical signs who tend to favor Logic to Feeling.
Depends. I would imagine on how strongly your Scorpio ascendant shows itself. In my opinion, I don’t think Scorpios and Sagittarius would get along too well… They’re both very opinionated, blunt people. I imagine if a Sag and Scorpio butted heads, it could get very ugly. However, if you don’t particularly think your ascendant is very strong? I think it could be for a fun friendship.
Perhaps their idealism and optimism about life can inspire a Pisces, who can often be quite depressed about reality. Now, if you follow me, anon, you might know that I personally happen to not get along well with a lot of Sagittarius. And I sort of dislike it when people are too optimistic— because they come across as naive, to me. So, even though a Pisces might find Sagittarius’ personality refreshing… I do say that it might have the complete opposite affect.
As lovers, however, I’m inclined to advise against this.
Sagittarius tend to not be “emotionally aware.” They tend to not recognize what others need emotionally from them, and the Pisces will get totally lost and they tend to feel used by Sagittarius. Sags in relationships are very happy-go-lucky, whereas Pisces tend to want something more serious and intimate.
Will it change a few things? Yes, it will change a few things. But I’ll say that many Pisces value a time to have their own space, to reflect within themselves (especially Pisces in the second decan). Many Aquarius dislike talking about emotions and opening themselves up in that aspect, which is practically a necessity to most Pisces regardless of how clingy they are. I think it often comes down to a matter of emotional fulfillment for Pisces— that is, if the Pisces is truly more independent that the stereotype.
