Best Signs for Pisces:

A straightforward approach to determining compatibility is through the elements in astrology, which are categorized into fire, air, water, and earth. Fire and air represent the active yang elements, while water and earth signify the passive yin elements. Pisces, being a water sign, shares this element with Cancer and Scorpio.

"Pisces are also very sensitive," says Aganza. "The fish is the most thin-skinned of all the signs. This isn't a criticism — this is the strength that allows them to be open to the dreaminess of life. But their partners need to be more gentle with a Pisces than they'd be with themselves."

Strengths of Pisces include:

• Compassionate and empathetic nature, making them natural caregivers who understand the needs and feelings of others
• Creative and artistic abilities, with a strong imagination that allows them to express themselves through various mediums like music, art, and writing
• Highly intuitive and empathetic, enabling them to connect deeply with the emotions of others and offer support and understanding
• Tolerance, understanding, and a keen sense of compassion, allowing them to be kind-hearted and sympathetic towards those around them

• Adaptive and go-with-the-flow attitude, embracing the unpredictable nature of life with a positive outlook
• Belief in the goodness of the world, maintaining an unwavering faith in kindness and love even in challenging situations

Weaknesses of Pisces include:

• Overly sensitive and prone to taking things personally, which can lead to emotional distress and difficulties in establishing boundaries
• Scatter-brained and easily distracted due to their emotional nature and tendency to get lost in daydreams, making it challenging for them to stay focused and organized
• Careless and prone to being lost in their thoughts and dreams, leading to forgetfulness and absent-mindedness
• Absorbing the emotions of others, making them susceptible to being overwhelmed by negative energy and struggling to set boundaries to protect their own well-being
• Idealistic to a fault, often viewing situations through rose-coloured glasses and struggling to confront reality as it is
• Being overly dependent on others, which can lead to feelings of helplessness and insecurity
• Does not like Conflict
• Tendency towards self-pity, getting lost in their emotions, and withdrawing from the world when feeling down

Pisces in the Workplace

 "They work best when they're given freedom with a deadline," says Aganza. "When they know there's a deadline, they'll reach it, but they need freedom to get there. They're very sensitive to criticism," says Aganza. So, be careful how you phrase things.

To overcome their tendency to be overly sensitive, Pisces can:

• Practice self-care and set boundaries to prevent absorbing the emotions of others excessively
• Take time for themselves to engage in activities that bring joy and help them stay grounded, such as reading, listening to music or going for a walk
• Learn to express their emotions effectively and seek support when needed to avoid feeling overwhelmed
• Develop self-awareness and understand their sensitivity as a strength rather than a weakness
• Work on building confidence and assertiveness to face life's challenges with more resilience
• Break down decisions into smaller steps to manage indecisiveness and remind themselves of their values when making choices
• Seek support from loved ones and communicate their feelings openly to avoid withdrawing
