Hey, Pisces! If you’re the sign of the fish, your birthday falls between 20th February and 20th March – and as the final constellation of the zodiac, Pisces are sensitive and ultra-caring creatures.

The zodiac sign for Pisces is symbolised by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the constant darting of Pisces’s attention between fantasy and reality (in other words, hello dreamers).

Ruled by both Neptune (the planet of mystery) and Jupiter (the lucky planet of prosperity and miracles), Pisces is a star sign that can be both secretive, interesting, magical and worldly.

This sign is often associated with internal struggle, too (a message that’s reflected in the symbolism of the two opposing fish). Pisces are pretty determined characters – they want success, to be active and make a mark, but they also like daydreaming and getting in touch with their spiritual side.

As the final sign in the zodiac, Pisces has absorbed the joys and the pains of the other signs and learned from the others, making them one of the most empathetic and compassionate of all the star signs. They can be sensitive though, and have to remember to stay grounded and not be swallowed up by their emotions.

Famous celebrity Pisces include Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Emily Blunt, Rebel Wilson, Sophie Turner and Dakota Fanning.

Typical Pisces personality traits

Compassionate

If you’ve got a Pisces in your gang, they’ll be the one that is constantly checking in on everyone else. Pisces are caring, they’re good at listening and never judge. They have a sort of old-world maturity that makes them brilliant at offering advice – nothing fazes them.

Spiritual

There’s nothing a Pisces loves more than getting in touch with their mystical side. They are big into all things spiritual and have a psychic side that often makes itself known. Get those tarot cards out, pronto.

Emotional

The great thing about having a Pisces pal is that they are gentle and kind but also don’t hold back on their emotions – they have a knack for getting people to really talk about their feelings and will get just as emotional while you’re at it. They’re probably your soppiest friend – and can sometimes be a little sensitive to things that may not bother you, so tread carefully.

Creative

Pisceans are arty and are drawn to all things creative that require an imagination (they’re great with kids, FYI). Whether it’s painting and drawing or music and performance, you can guarantee Pisces is cooking up some kind of ‘performance’.

Pisces personality compatibility – who gets on best with a Pisces?

If you’re wondering what star sign gets on best with a Pisces, look no further than the other water sign gang – we’re talking Scorpios and Cancers. They are as equally bonkers as each other (in a good way), emotional, mystical and compassionate beings, they’re good listeners and talkers.

Another good star sign in terms of compatibility is a Taurus. Only two star signs apart, Pisces and Taurus both have a friendly, natural bond that sees them enjoying taking time to getting to know each other. Ruled by Venus, Taurus is very relationship-oriented, which pairs well with Neptunian Pisces’ tendency to prioritise a romantic view of their closest connections.

Capricorns also make excellent lovers for Pisces, in an ‘opposites attract’ manner. The daydreamer Pisces makes a good balancing act for the ambitious, driven Capricorn – the contrasting energy becomes a brilliant contrast.

Personality traits that Pisces avoids

Selfishness

Hardly surprising that kind Pisces can’t stand those who don’t put others before themselves. Selfishness is a massive turn-off, as is anyone who is arrogant, cold and manipulating.

Materialism

Don’t get us wrong, Pisces do love their creature comforts as much as the next person – and would never say no to a free first-class upgrade, but status and money don’t motivate them like it does for some signs. They crave intimacy over luxury. You definitely can’t buy your way to a Pisces’ heart.

Cancers have the birth dates between 21st June and 22nd July and the zodiac sign for Cancer is a cardinal water sign, represented by the crab, a creature who can live between sea and shore, representing Cancer’s ability to exist in both emotional and physical realms.

Cancers are known as being quite intense, but fun, passionate and incredibly caring. They want your total attention and loyalty but happily return it equally. They are brilliant listeners and always have a sense of making a person feel welcomed and understood. Yes, they can sometimes be a little OTT and attention-seeking but they usually mean well.

Cancer is ruled by the moon, the celestial body that represents comfort, creativity, self-care, and maternal energies. Accordingly, Cancers tend to be domestically oriented, they love creating happy, cosy spaces and make brilliant party hosts – they are usually excellent chefs, helped by the fact that Cancer rules the stomach, they adore cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

Their attachment to the home and the people they love can sometimes become quite intense – they must be careful that their nurturing does not become too possessive. They aren’t always good at speaking about their true feelings and tend to avoid conflict – but those who manage to get through that barrier will build a life-long trust.

Famous celebrity with the Cancer zodiac star sign include Khloe Kardashian, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, Lindsay Lohan and Solange Knowles.

Typical Cancer personality traits

Charismatic

Cancerians know how to throw a fun party and always make brilliant company thanks to the fact they are funny, adventurous, warm and generous people. When the moon phase changes, this can bring about a mood shift for Cancerians, however, and you’ll start to see a more needy side of their characters as they do all they can to get your attention and support, showing their more fragile state that is sometimes hidden away.

Loyal

Like we have said, Cancers are great friends to have and have a good sense of understanding those around them. Their loyalty means they go to great lengths to help and support their family and friends. Sometimes, it can become a little too intense and they need to be reminded to take a step back and a breather.

Prone to mood swings

The moon controls their moods so your hilarious Cancer friend can all of a sudden become quite guarded and low. Mood swings can be up and down but Cancers have to learn to overcome life’s highs and lows.

Sentimental

Cancerians can find it hard to let go of old objects and old flames, they are very sentimental and like to hold on to everything that has any meaning to them. The same applies to friends and relationships, those strong feelings are there for life.

Cancer compatibility – who gets on best with a Cancer?

Cancers get on best with their fellow water sign zodiacs – that’s Pisces and Scorpio. They all share quite intense emotions. From a relationship point of view, Cancer and Capricorns make an unusual pair, where the creative and emotional Cancer attracts the completely opposite practical and serious Capricorn. Their contrasts align, forming the perfect balancing act.

Personality traits that a Cancer avoids

Those lacking in empathy

Since Cancer is in touch with their emotions and creativity, they avoid those who hide feelings, lack empathy and who are led by logic and science. Sometimes you just have to follow your ‘gut feeling’ and heart, not always your head.

Disloyalty

Cancerians form close bonds with people and hope their loyalty will be returned. For those who go behind their backs and ruin that relationship, Cancerians find it very hard to trust them again and they will likely be ousted from their lives.

To get your full chart, you need to find out your moon sign and your rising sign – which is a little more complicated, as you need to know your exact time of birth, down to the minute.

How do sun signs work with moon and rising signs?

Some might say that your moon sign is a more obvious reflection of your personality. “Your moon sign describes your innermost emotions and how you process and express your feelings,” says Alice. “It’s often the side of yourself that comes out more in close, intimate relationships. Your moon sign also describes your childhood conditioning, your family background, as well as how you’re learning to nurture yourself as an adult. Whereas with the sun sign, you have to work a little to embody those traits, the moon sign describes the behaviours you automatically revert back to in the heat of the moment.”

Your rising sign is the sign that was on the eastern horizon at the moment you were born. “It is the part of yourself you are comfortable showing to the world,” adds Alice. “It describes your personal style and appearance, as well as what traits you project when you’re meeting someone. It’s basically the vibe you give off at first. You can also think of your rising sign as the lens through which you approach all other areas of your life, and how you initiate new experiences. If you’re a Leo rising, you will want to put a creative spin on projects that you start, while a Capricorn rising may like to plan out and think of the longterm potential of something first.”

Why are sun signs divided into elements?

“All signs can be divided into four different elements, which are earth, fire, air and water,” says Alice. “The signs that fall under the same element tend to share similar qualities.”

Water signs: “Water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces will all be extra intuitive, and they may make decisions based on their initial gut instincts and how they’re feeling in the moment. They’re also easily able to help other people through any emotional problems, because they give off a nurturing and giving energy.”

Air signs: “Air signs Aquarius, Gemini and Libra are geared more towards the mind and the sharing of information. They tend to be more social, and they crave interactions with people where they can bounce ideas off of one another and get someone else’s perspective. They are also easily able to step back and look at the bigger picture or think of solutions for the future.”

Earth signs: “Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo like to have a plan in place before starting anything, and they like to know that what they’re agreeing to serves a purpose. They’re typically better at organising things and keeping everyone on track, and they may enjoy having a list of goals that they’re working towards.”

Fire signs: “Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius like to take action and are always looking forward to having that next new experience. They bring a lot of enthusiasm and passion to whatever they’re working on, and they’re very fun to be around. They can be a little impatient at times though.”
