Who Is Pisces?
There is a peculiar group of individuals whose birth dates fall within winter’s annual regression and spring’s dawning, someplace between February 19th and March 20th. These persons are termed the Pisces in the Zodiac classification of personalities. The term Pisces itself refers to a constellation of stars that appears to be two fishes swimming in opposite directions.
Pisces is the 12th and last sign on the zodiac chart. Like the Cancers and Scorpio, this sign is a water sign. This sign is ruled by the last two planets, Neptune and Jupiter. In agreement with the rest of the water zodiac signs, Pisces are known for being empathetic. And of all the zodiac signs, they are the group most sure to do whatever they can to guarantee the happiness of the people around them.
Some famous personalities who are examples of this zodiac sign include; George Harrison, Justin Bieber, Jack Kerouac, and Elizabeth Taylor. Looking at these examples, there can be no argument that Pisces are emphatic, generous, and super deep persons who are very much in touch with their emotions. They also tend to have very powerfully creative imaginations that bring up fantastic ideas.
Because these persons are so in touch with their emotions, they can also be easily hurt and get moody if things aren’t going as they had anticipated. It is not untrue that the compassion and thoughtfulness of the Pisces are sometimes usually taken advantage of by other dominant signs. So, in this article, we shall be considering the Pisces class and the different amazing peculiarities of this group.
Desirable Traits of The Pisces and Their Drawbacks
There are many benefits that come with being the last personality on the zodiac chart, but some drawbacks too. Below are some amazingly soul-warming traits of the Pisces zodiac sign and their disadvantages;
1. Creativity
When the matter concerns a battle for artistic prowess and getting lost in fantasies, then it’s definitely the Pisces who would emerge as winners. These sensitive individuals are innately gifted with the ability to fashion out beautiful spectacles out of the most unlikely situation. They express their creativity and strong imaginative abilities in all they do. They are the ones who are likely to take up writing, art, catering, fashion designs, and music as their profession. This is because they can give time and attention to finding out what others do not know or consider relevant.
Disadvantages
The Pisces are natural dreamers because of their creative intuition, and this can spell doom if left unchecked. So, in reality, an unattainable goal can become an obsession for Pisces. And even when others around him try to dissuade him from the course, he would still pursue what he believes in. Due to their free-spirited nature, Pisces also struggle to thrive under strict rules or overly-structured environments. Also, as we can see from the motion of the two fishes in opposing directions, we find that Pisces often struggle between achieving an extremely important task that would change their world and returning to the safety of their ’emotional walls.’
2. Highly Emphatic Individuals
Empathy differs from being compassionate in that it entails trying to help the person in the disadvantaged position become better. Pisces is the group of Zodiac signs that are not just sensitive or compassionate, but they also take measures to solve the problems causing the discomfort. This sign expresses great intuitive abilities, forgiveness, devotion to relationships etc. Perhaps due to their fluid sign, they can easily be affected by other people’s problems, and so other signs find the Pisces to be worthy confidants. They are good at consoling and expressing care to other zodiac signs so, if you are considering a zodiac life partner, the Pisces would probably be the best place to start searching from.
Disadvantages
These individuals are so consumed with giving care and attention to others that they forget to care for themselves. Even when someone offers them help, these fishes do not know how to accept assistance. They only want to empathize with everyone, but they do not wish to be empathized with. Due to their very emphatic and caring nature, others can hurt the Pisces easily, and once hurt, these fishes withdraw into their shells. They do not handle hurt with levity, and they may never leave their protective forte to build that relationship anymore.
3. Generous
It is no doubt that Pisces are extremely generous. They can go out of their way to meet the needs of someone they care about. They can take care of someone else’s needs even before theirs. For the Pisces, it is more important than the person they care about being happy.
Disadvantages
As noble as it sounds to put the needs of others before oneself, the disadvantage of this trait is very glaring. The Pisces easily trust people and are also usually ‘illogically optimistic.’ For these reasons, Pisces is easily taken advantage of. Any dubious person can play on the trust of the Pisces and also easily sway them from the right path.
The Behavior of a Pisces in Different Relationships
Despite the peculiar traits of Pisces, we also want to hint at some of the ways this sign relates with other zodiac groups.
1. Family Relationship
You can count on a Pisces to be present at any gathering of family members. They are committed to their families and place family above everything else. Throughout their lives, Pisces cherish their kin and would always pick any opportunity to be with their families. For Pisces, nothing holds more value than being amongst the people he loves.
2. Friends
Pisces, like we already know, are generous persons, they are very caring or loving, and for this reason, it can be hard for them to say no to the request of friends. Emotional damages could later occur from these friendships because Pisces would not be able to turn down the request of his friends even when they are wrong.
Pisces is also very gifted at listening to problems, empathizing with persons, and helping to bring a resolution for that challenge. Due to their incredible emotional levels, they are also very good at offering therapeutic solutions to their friends who need it. Unarguably, Pisces are sensitive souls that might not be sure what they want in a relationship but are willing to give their all to the happiness of a friend.
3. Love and Romance
Love comes very easily for Pisces because they can always see the good side and possibilities in each person they date. This very romantic trait makes the Pisces perceive that he can automatically be loved by the persons they date. This is not true in all cases, as sometimes the optimistic expectation of the Pisces is not actualized. So as a word of advice for the free-spirited individuals, date someone who is also truly in love with you, do not put your hopes on some casual date.
Before finding the one person whom they can share life with, Pisces can fantasize about the kind of love experience they desire. This is not a bad trait in itself, but it can cause this group to build unattainable expectations for their relationship. Not minding that the Pisces are a very caring and devoted group, their unrealistic expectations can get them disappointed and hurt in the long run. When they do get into a romantic relationship, the fishes are very committed to it. They are sure to make reliable spouses and dependable parents.
4. Pisces and work
A Pisces would thrive in a place where they are allowed the freedom to explore their creativities. Jobs like nursing, photography, Graphic Designs, counseling, Occupational Therapist etc. would be the best place for a Pisces to thrive. Any job that entails repetitive lifeless patterns would be tedious for a Pisces. In the workspace, pieces are usually interesting to work with. They are renowned for giving their all to whatever group of people they work with.
A Word of Caution for The Pisces
If you are a Pisces, you are definitely a beautiful soul. You must not allow anyone to belittle your worth or relevance. Surely you would often get into problems with people for being so creative and apart from reality, but always see yourself as special and able to bring out amazing solutions from your creative riches.
In all situations and relationships, seek to protect yourself from being harmed or taken advantage of. Love people and care for them intimately, but do not forget to let them know how sad you can get if you get hurt by the people you trust and love.
Conclusion
Pisces have rightly been acclaimed to be the dreamers of the zodiac classification of personalities. But in a world like ours, which is burdened with reality, timing, and tangible pursuits, this emotionally inclined energy almost always serves a cushioning effect. The ability to open up themselves so truly and deeply to others is one of the factors that makes this group so unique and yet so vulnerable.
