Sun Sign Compatibility: Pisces & Taurus
Both of you are basically tolerant, easy-going, “soft” and peace-loving people, and this goes a long way toward maintaining harmony in your relationship. PISCES really appreciates TAURUS’s steadiness and dependability, while TAURUS responds to PISCES’s gentleness, kindness, and sympathy.
However, there are also very basic differences between you: TAURUS seeks clear and simple answers, and approaches life in a pragmatic, down-to-earth manner. TAURUS has clear preferences and dislikes, and has very predictable tastes. TAURUS seeks tangible and clear results from any effort. PISCES, on the other hand, is more eclectic in approach, and is sensitive to a wider spectrum of ideas and feelings. PISCES is less rational, more emotional and intuitive, more willing to accept ambiguities and complexities than TAURUS.
COMPATIBILITY RATING: Harmonious
Your Sun signs are sextile. You appreciate one another’s emotional style. It’s easy to collaborate with one another.

Sun Sign Compatibility: Pisces & Aries
ARIES is more decisive and direct, but also somewhat more naive and simple (psychologically speaking) than PISCES is. You two can balance one another nicely. ARIES depends on PISCES’s sensitivity and gentleness to soothe, heal, and provide a sanctuary from the world of competing and achieving. PISCES, on the other hand, admires and probably needs ARIES’s forthrightness, honesty, and willingness to act boldly.
PISCES is more of a giver, and can be very self-denying, while ARIES is self-absorbed, and can unintentionally take advantage of PISCES’s generosity. ARIES also lacks tact and subtlety sometimes, and inadvertently wounds PISCES’s tender feelings.
COMPATIBILITY RATING: Huh?
Your Sun signs are semi-sextile. You don’t really understand each other’s styles of expressing emotions. Your relationship requires some adjustments.

The Pisces Personality Expressed Negatively
Pisces who are unable to separate themselves from the drama and unhappiness in other people’s lives display the negative characteristics of their sign. They often feel dragged down by problems around them, yet are frustrated by their inability to do anything to make them better. Disappointed pisceans may seek escape through drugs or alchohol, the effects of which make them more powerless.
The Pisces Personality Expressed Positively
A pisces who is empowered by the best characteristics of the sign is a source of help and inspiration both to themselves and to others. The sensitivity of pisceans is most useful when those born under this sign have a good sense of self and a lot of confidence. When they do, they are wonderful people to be around— full of joy, inspiration, and profound intuition.

I’m writing these down from a book I own. I italicized two because it seems to contradict a lot of what I’ve read elsewhere about pisces; but, I included it all the same. I mean, one of pisces biggest “flaws” is how very gullible we are! But, I suppose maybe we’re hard to fool when it comes to people and their emotions?
Regardless, I’m sure some of us pisces are bound to be organized, and aren’t easily fooled!
Pisces: Year of the Rat
Under a nighttime sky, Ken Goldman paints a merry party of Rats. They’ve gathered atop a Swiss cheese for a starlight snack (and judging from how sleek and plump they look, good things to eat are a daily event). Rats are a thrifty clan and indeed this group looks prosperous; Chinese astrologers say the Rat always tucks something away for a rainy day, saves and invests well, and somehow always comes out on top. Rats are sociable, love to congregate, work well with others and are in general amiable and friendly.
Charming too. Goldman’s painting displays much gentle appeal. His family of Rats look orderly and tidy at their sit-down supper; one supposes lively chatter must accompany the meal — good manners dictate careful seating and pleasant shared space. As ornament, the Rats have invited two goldfish to dinner. Pisces, their second watery nature, is presented both in form and symbolically in the constellation above the bowl.
Two Rats stand out from the crowd, both grasping the mystic sign of Pisces. One holds it to himself (symbolic of Rat acquisitiveness), while another presents it outward, sharing the gift. He reaches upward to make contact with his Pisces self, symbolized by the nearby goldfish and the constellation of Pisces, rising in the nighttime sky, symbolizing the cosmic part of his soul. It is the light from this unselfish gesture that softly illuminates the group.
In composition, Goldman brilliantly shows us the Rat-Pisces nature.Three circles define the fish: the watery planet Neptune that guides Pisces, the sphere of light that emanates from the sign of Pisces, and the goldfish bowl that holds the water and life of Pisces. Three smooth forms in direct contrast to the busy congenial nature of the Rat family, yet they cleverly work together; Rat grounds and supports, Pisces rests on and reaches toward higher goals. This is a well-grounded yet spiritual team, the team of Rat-Pisces.
Pisces: Year of the Ox
Artist Thierry Chatelain presents an exquisite color composition in celebration of Ox-Pisces. His figures are painted in bold hues which both unite and contrast. Brilliant sky and sun-spiked water coalesce into a single serene universe. It is a universe that has, at its visual heart, the warm sun and earth tones of human skin and oxen fur. Note the artist’s particularly effective arrangement — colorful fish are attracted to the Pisces water lily extended by a beautiful girl as she reclines on the Ox. Above, a translucent fish shines in the azure sky.
This Pisces seems perfectly at home jumping into the cosmos to swallow Neptune, its watery ruling planet. Cannily, Chatelain explores that same unity with his Oxen figure. Usually these are earthbound creatures, solidly connected to the planet and to the grounding qualities of its soil. But, if we look more carefully, we see this Ox is indeed a water creature; note that Chatelain does not show its hooves, rather he lets us sense the merging of animal and water. Chatelain’s goddess is languidly beautiful, impartially detached; she rests on the powerful Ox, solidly comfortable and secure enough to dally with the more mutable side of her nature, Pisces.
Extraordinary individuals born under this combined sign can be absolutely irresistible — Ox-Pisces is often an homme or femme fatal. Those born in Oxen years are deeply layered, those born under the sign of the fish deeply spiritual. Both are gentle, kind, and concerned with the welfare of others. The result is not only an appealing and magnetic person but also one possessed of a certain personal and spiritual depth. The bossy Ox nature is minimized by Pisces, becoming more sensitive. Oxen resolve gives the normally languid fish more strength and perseverance.
Passionate mates and marvelous parents, the Ox-Pisces is an agreeable duet of smoothly working contradictions. Charm, beauty and sensitivity — all three define this serene and beautiful personality. Down to earth, yet gifted with unearthly resolve, Ox-Pisces has it all.
Pisces: Year of the Tiger
The sky and sea merge in Thierry Chatelain’s depiction of Tiger-Pisces. Neptune, the ruling planet of Pisces is set as the top point of interest. It looks watery, an orb of swirling liquid in a sky that is decidedly undifferentiated from the sea. In this watery world Chatelain paints a glorious Tiger, and what a specimen! His tongue reaches out for a drink and a sleepy languor pervades his topaz eyes. This is clearly a Tiger at rest, but definitely still watchful. There is always a strategy that goes on in the Tiger’s mind. Of all the Chinese zodiac signs, the Tiger has the most passion and strength, which can be disguised at will and explode outward without warning and just as quickly return to a state of almost invisible stillness.
If we can’t estimate the Tiger’s state of mind, neither can we estimate the direction of Pisces. Chatelain shows four beautifully painted Koi swimming in all directions intent on different goals and ambitions. Pisces has been labeled as indecisive and too free-flowing, and certainly the artist paints his fish as scattered jewels in the water.
But Chatelain gives us a hint at what Tiger-Pisces may achieve when these two forces of power and mutability come together. Pisces has the greatest understanding of human nature for they are the last sign in the Western zodiac and have accumulated the wisdom of the other eleven. Their changeability is never as formless as it seems; Pisces just knows more that the rest of us. The Tiger is the Eastern zodiac’s great humanitarian. It was these great cats that came to the defense of human beings when the animal kingdom rose against them.
The artist carefully paints four lotus blossoms rising up as if from the Tiger’s aura. The lotus is the Eastern world’s great symbol of enlightenment and its presence bodes well. This combination has the chance for great achievements; to some, perhaps, this is the greatest of the combined zodiac signs. The potential for good and luck is unlimited in Tiger-Pisces.
