Pisces – character in love
Pisces is a mutable Water sign ruled by Neptune and, traditionally, Jupiter. It closes the zodiac circle and is its most sensitive, intuitive and romantic sign. In love it seeks spiritual understanding and fairy-tale closeness.
Pisceans are modest, empathetic and full of imagination. They can sense another person’s mood before a word is said. Sometimes, however, they act on emotion and trust neither others nor themselves.
How does Pisces love?
Pisces in love is tender, devoted and ready for great sacrifices. It chooses a partner by intuition. Its weakness can be insecurity – in matters of the heart it may run from decisions and idealise its partner, only to be disappointed later.
Single Pisceans look for people who are sensitive but passionate. When they meet someone who gives them a sense of security and respects their dreams at the same time, they can love deeply and for life.
Who is Pisces most compatible with?
Pisces connects most easily with Cancer and Scorpio. Relationships with Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces also tend to go very well.
