Pisces is a mutable water sign ruled by Neptune (and traditionally Jupiter), for people born between February 19 and March 20. Pisces energy is dreamy, compassionate and intuitive: it feels everything and imagines more than most.
People with the Sun in Pisces are often artistic, spiritual or simply very kind. They absorb the moods around them, which makes them wonderful listeners but also easily drained. Pisces needs time alone to recharge and can drift into daydreams when reality becomes too harsh.
Pisces strengths

Pisces in love
Pisces loves romantically and selflessly. They dream of a soulmate connection and give a great deal to the people they love. The right partner is gentle, honest and grounding; Pisces struggles with harshness or with partners who take advantage of their kindness. Learning to keep healthy boundaries is often part of the Pisces love story.
