The dreamer: compassionate, artistic, endlessly intuitive.

Dates: February 19 – March 20Element: WaterModality: MutableRuler: NeptunePolarity: Yin · imaginativeSymbol: The Fish

Pisces dissolves the boundary between self and everything else. Ruled by Neptune and made of water, your empathy and imagination make you both the artist and the ocean. You feel the undercurrents others ignore, carry a tenderness for all living things, and turn pain into art. The last sign of the zodiac, you hold a little of every sign within you.

Pisces Sun, Moon & Rising

What each of the Big Three means in Pisces.

Pisces SunYour core self

With your Sun in Pisces, your core self is compassionate, creative and spiritual. You live partly in a world of feeling and imagination, and your gift is empathy without limit. Your lesson is boundaries: keeping enough of yourself to give from a full cup.

Pisces MoonYour inner world

A Pisces Moon has gossamer-thin emotional boundaries, absorbing the feelings of everyone around you, often without noticing. It makes you profoundly compassionate and easily overwhelmed; you need solitude, art and water to wash the day off.

Pisces RisingYour first impression

Pisces Rising seems dreamy and slightly otherworldly. People sense your creative sensitivity, and your presence is a quiet invitation to slow down and feel.
