Pisces Compatibility

Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac and represents the end of an evolutionary period of growth. So, theoretically, Pisces would contain a hint of the elements of all the signs, and this can make it a deeply complex zodiac. It’s also a sign that has a greater ability to detach and perceive other realms of existence than the other signs. 

Now, Pisces is a water sign; it’s also mutable. The combination of water and mutable indicates that it has deep layers of emotional awareness. It’s a very intuitive, mindful sign and also has a great deal of flexibility. 

What people often don’t grasp about Pisces is that they have a fairly adventurous spirit, are eager to try new things, and can be quite open-minded. Their ruler, Neptune, is a very mysterious planet, a planet of nuances and quirks that can be quite secretive. It has the power of healing and insight, and it’s also a very creative planet, which makes Pisces a particularly romantic sign of the zodiac. 

In astrology, compatibility is all about how signs interact with each other, the positive and negative traits that they stimulate in each other, whether there’s a high level of communication, cohesion in terms of love language, or whether it’s just all about chemistry and sparks flying with a lot of bridges to be built in between. 

Pisces are fairly comfortable with the other water signs like Scorpio and Cancer. Between them, there’s an awareness that one should be sensitive and understanding, and there is a desire to enjoy each other’s company, laugh, and perhaps experience a perceptive understanding that they don’t necessarily have with other signs, who may be slightly more combative, practical, or communicative. 

Often, there’s an unspoken communication between these Sun signs which is quite rewarding, and they don’t necessarily press each other’s buttons. However, sometimes the water signs are not enough of a contrast or a spark to personal growth, and Pisces may actually do better with the mutable signs like Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and fellow Pisces. 

With the mutable signs Pisces can expand: Pisces gain perspective from Gemini, energy from Sagittarius, and pragmatism and earthy anchoring from Virgo. So, Pisces come alive by being with the mutable signs. Additionally, they’re also kind of adaptable, like to go with the flow, and understand that change is inevitable and should be welcomed. They can also bring to the table some strengths which will help Pisces be more focused and a little bit more assertive about how they live life. 

As always, astrology compatibility is a complex art of interpreting different elements. The Sun sign is the beginning, but what’s also important is moon signs to understand family values and emotional compatibility, the interplay of Venus signs to understand how the couple shows and expresses affection and values each other, and Mars signs for the energy and excitement that drives the sexual side of the relationship. The ascendant is also important to see whether each horoscope chart is attracted to the personality and looks of the other. 

Pisces Traits in Love and Relationships 

What Pisces need from a partner is someone who is tolerant and understanding. As a mutable water sign, they don’t want to be boxed in, but they do like a partner who has some boundaries and who can be fairly decisive. Pisces like to feel their way through life – they are on a meandering journey, and they often don’t know from one day to the next exactly what they want. So, they could resist partners who create a lot of pressure and ask too many questions. 

Pisces like to communicate romantically, and often they don’t spell things out. So, they need a partner who is quite intuitive, who can perceive and have insights into their character. A Pisces’ partner should be someone happy to live with a little bit of mystery — because they don’t really like being put on the spot. Sometimes, they don’t even know the answers themselves; they are still figuring it out, so they can’t really explain themselves. A partner cannot afford to be insecure as communication isn’t very specific with a Pisces. 

In terms of dating, Pisces really enjoy music and the arts. They like to be taken out, they love city life, and sometimes they can be night owls who party the night away – yes, you do get Pisces who are party animals as they’re not usually homebodies. They need a partner who’s sociable and who has a wide variety of interests, because they get bored fast. 

Emotionally, they do need an anchor, so it helps to have a partner who has a good sense of self-worth and self-esteem and who knows how to deal with the practicalities of life. 

The strength of Pisces in a relationship is that they are able to see the bigger picture. They tend to think out of the box, and they have a certain awareness that can be a guide during those tricky, turbulent times in life. They’re a very romantic sign, which can bring a huge amount of pleasure to a partner. They have a good sense of humor; they enjoy storytelling, so the sexual and romantic side should be very rewarding. 

The weaknesses of Pisces are that they can be commitment-phobic, sometimes a little moody and avoidant, and it’s not always easy for a partner to understand what they’re thinking. They are dark horses, an unknown quantity, and a partner has to be secure enough to handle that. 

Sometimes Pisces are too people-pleasing, or self-sacrificing. They don’t know where to draw boundaries, and that’s bad for them and for the partner, because they both may feel like the relationship has gotten away from them. They may even feel abused and become resentful, and a partner may not really realize what’s happening. Pisces don’t give clear signals of what they want, and so it’s not necessarily the partner’s fault if Pisces have a sense of disappointment.

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs with Pisces 

Pisces and Virgo 

I can imagine many people are surprised because they may think that the Piscean and Virgo nature would rub each other up the wrong way. However, this is a case where opposites attract. Virgo has an earthy practicality, a grip on reality and they’re good with details and thus they compensate for those areas where Pisces are weak. 

Alternatively, both are quite sensual and enjoy romance. Pisces has the ability to bring Virgo out of themselves and to help them express their more creative and sensitive side, as Virgo can sometimes be a little bit emotionally repressed. Virgo deals with life by being kind, helpful and realistic, but being with a Pisces can help them release all those emotions that have built up and they may finally feel understood. 

Pisceans have a way of relaxing Virgo and helping them to escape, which is often exactly what Virgo wants. Virgo makes rather chatty, witty companions which Pisces find quite interesting. Being mutable signs, they are both adventurous and ready to ring the changes, so the relationship shouldn’t slip into any unproductive routines. 

Both have the patience to break down each other’s barriers, which is key to this match. 

Pisces and Sagittarius 

What I like about this mix is that Pisces is ruled by Neptune, and Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and both these planets have a spiritual and religious bent to them. Both are looking for answers to the big questions in life and feel that life should be a journey. 

These two star signs tend to see the big picture and understand that one should always be looking for the next challenge. This may be a couple that enjoy living in many different places — they don’t like to be pigeon holed down or tied down. They are also a couple that may explore various lifestyles; they could be quite bohemian. 

This is a marvellous match for age-gap, long-distance, or same-sex relationships because both can be very open-minded and quite experimental. What I love about this relationship is that there are no boundaries, no limits — there’s unlimited potential for exploring and really finding each other. 

On the downside, they may be awful with money, and it may not be the most prosperous of astrology matches. However, they’ll have a lot of fun, and they could really create a lifestyle that, although not for everyone, certainly suits them.

Pisces and Gemini 

This is a match that I see a lot of in practice, as it can be very successful in real life. Like the other Mercury-ruled sign, Virgo, Gemini also tends to be quite analytical, they think their way through life in a logical way, and they’re very good at navigating their social life and often their business and work life. This helps create clarity for Pisces about material things. 

Gemini loves to be busy; but they can neglect their emotional needs, but being together with Pisces helps them access new facets of themselves so they can dig deeper. Now, Gemini won’t spell things out, but they’re quite sensitive — they like being with a non-aggressive sign like Pisces. Pisces is intuitive and gentle enough to respond to Gemini without being aggressive or pushing their buttons. 

Gemini loves the kindness of Pisces. Pisces have a gentle soul and a compassionate nature, which Geminis thrive on. What Pisces love about Gemini is that they’re quirky, talkative, and entertaining. They can both enjoy an active social life together, and they both tend to be city people who like attending different events and new restaurants. 

Romance generally progresses very well, and they enjoy having visitors to the home. They share a fair amount of flexibility, and while they won’t necessarily be able to live in each other’s pockets, they can certainly have a strong union that can involve family life as well. They complement each other and may even find ways to be highly prosperous together. 

Capricorn and Pisces 

This is a suitable mix of cosmic energies because they are both extremely creative, sensual, and romantic. Both star signs can be rather smitten with traditional romance. Pisces often want a pragmatic protector, and the more masculine energy of Capricorn is a wonderful antidote to the Neptunian mists of confusion that can surround Pisces. 

Pisces can be quite vulnerable, but Capricorn has a capable, protective, and ambitious streak which can help Pisces self-actualize. Pisces are the ideal sign to help Capricorn relax, chill, and enjoy life more. Plus, Pisces have a way of communicating with Capricorn that really brings them out of their shell and arouses their romantic nature. 

This is a relationship of love letters, shared memories, music, and quite a lot of fun. Now, there are times when they rub each other the wrong way, and it can be very frustrating. Capricorn likes things cut and dried and can tend to interrogate, and sometimes Pisces feels a little bit pushed around. However, Capricorn teaches Pisces to draw boundaries, and Pisces helps Capricorn learn how to live life without such strict boundaries. So, there’s a lot for each to gain.

Least Compatible Zodiac Signs with Pisces 

Pisces and Leo 

When it comes to the least compatible signs, I’m definitely not totally negative about this pairing, because there are certain things these Sun signs can thrive on together. For example, both have a love of theatre, music, and the world of the arts. They are particularly creative, artistically expressive signs, and that’s why there can be a lot of enjoyment in the world of romance together. 

Pisces loves that Leos are rather flamboyant, they’re very expressive in love, and they show affection and warmth. However, Pisces can be put off by the fact that Leo can sometimes be a little bit bossy and their fiery energy can feel, to Pisces, domineering. 

Leo finds Pisces intriguing; they like a partner who’s a bit of a challenge and slightly mysterious, so in that way, Pisces’ enigmatic personality is appealing to Leo. 

However, over time, Leo can get frustrated. They want to see more certainty, decisiveness, and boldness from Pisces. Leo needs ardent demonstrations of love, both verbal and affectionate, and sometimes Pisces is a little bit cool, aloof, or vague. It’s during these times that Leo becomes very insecure. 

So, Pisces triggers Leo’s insecurities, and Leo can make Pisces feel a bit suffocated — which is why this relationship can go wrong. 

Pisces and Scorpio 

Despite the fact that these are two water signs, and there is innate intuitive understanding and a lot of empathy between them, this relationship can run into a few problems. Initially, there’s a lot of romance, and it can even work well for a long-distance relationship, but Scorpio begins to feel that Pisces isn’t a good listener, isn’t reassuring them, and doesn’t adequately have their back. 

Scorpio craves absolute loyalty, and Pisces are more able to understand things laterally and philosophically which sometimes dilutes their ability to totally see Scorpio’s point of view. Scorpio can feel misunderstood and often very frustrated that they aren’t getting the audience and responses from Pisces that they want. 

For Pisces, the big problem is the more assertive or even confrontational side of Scorpio. Scorpio can lose their temper — they have that sting after all. The more Scorpio feels that they aren’t being listened to and the more insecure they become, the more likely they are to strike back.

These signs together can become spiteful to each other, and it can be a relationship where they both want to hurt each other — neither knowing when to call it quits. That is the danger here. 

Pisces and Aries 

I definitely see this particular combination working in real life, and it can be very successful — particularly because Aries and Pisces are both fairly intuitive signs that like to roll with the punches. Both of them have an interest in things that are esoteric, and they often enjoy life together because they’re also very different and complementary. 

Aries likes the fact that Pisces are kind of go-with-the-flow, laid-back characters who can adapt to many of Aries’ crunching gear changes, since Aries are very impulsive and change their mind a lot. Pisces love the fact that Aries are fiery, assertive, and affectionate. They enjoy that flair that Aries has, and they also like the total honesty of Aries — they find it refreshing and reassuring. 

However, both of them are extremely impulsive, and that can make for poor decision-making in a relationship. Often, these two don’t do that well together financially. The big problem is that Aries never really knows if they can trust Pisces and they wonder if they’re ever getting the full story or the truth. That enigmatic side of Pisces is a problem for Aries. 

Again, as with Scorpio, Pisces cannot stand a partner who is a little bit bossy or domineering. They may give too much ground, be too easygoing, and then end up resenting it. So, this can be a good relationship if Pisces knows how to draw boundaries and if they both keep their heads together. It also helps if they both have some Earth in their charts. 

Pisces Compatibility with the Other 12 Zodiac Signs 

Pisces and Aries – Moderate Compatibility 

Although this astrology match is often seen in real life, it’s one that requires effort. There is a great spiritual understanding between the pair, and they are often very in tune with each other’s deeper nature. While they may be very different on the surface, and communication might not always be productive, there is a deep level of empathy. They are able to console and support each other emotionally, which means this relationship can be successful. 

There’s something fated about this relationship and often these two star signs meet in unusual situations or a twist of fate means their paths cross at a critical juncture in each other’s lives. 

There are strong themes of awakening and healing connected to this partnership and they could be each other’s missing puzzle piece.

Pisces and Taurus – Moderate to high Compatibility. 

These are both highly romantic zodiac signs who really revel in each other’s company as there is an easy-going, laid-back feel to this union, a sense of humour, and strong communication. The friendship factor is a highlight since they enjoy theatre, music, and have a taste for night life and social pleasure seeking. There’ll be a kaleidoscope of activities they can thrive on and enjoy together. 

One of the problems, however, is that they are both a little bit passive, and they may let life pass them by without really attacking opportunities. 

It’s a lively combination but at times both use each other and the relationship as an excuse to avoid dealing properly with their own issues.

Pisces and Gemini – Moderate to High Compatibility 

I really like this match. Other than the fact that they are mutable signs and therefore flexible, highly responsive to each other, and adaptable, Pisces has the ability to soothe Gemini and understand the nuances and quirks of Gemini’s personality. Gemini has the ability to be the articulate, funny, and entertaining partner that Pisces crave. 

They are both people who enjoy nightlife and often alternative lifestyles, and therefore this relationship is fantastic for age-gap, long-distance relationships, or same-sex relationships, because both of them are very open to exploring life in different ways, and in that way, it can be awesome. 

What’s not so good is Pisces can sometimes be a little bit cryptic and can go cold, and this deeply hurts the Gemini. The Gemini can sometimes be critical or emotionally obtuse, which can upset Pisces.

Pisces and Cancer – Moderate to High Compatibility 

This astrology combination is high on romance, empathy, and mutual acceptance. Both revel in imagination and escapism, which fuels romance. They know how to relax, enjoy peaceful times, and create a safe space for each other. 

The challenges include Cancer feeling frustrated when Pisces is evasive, fails to make plans, or does not create structure and clear boundaries. Pisces may wish Cancer were more expressive affectionately or more pragmatic. Humor and intellectual adventure can help balance this relationship.

Pisces and Leo – Moderate Compatibility 

I’m rather curious about this particular combination because I think it has a certain amount of peculiarity to it that presents an interesting and flavourful mix. Both these signs are very imaginative, creative, and quite artistic, so it’s very likely that they might be working in the same industries, and they will thrive together because they both have a very romantic, sentimental way of expressing themselves. 

Both zodiac signs can be quite flamboyant, and both of them have a charismatic but also shy side. They see in each other slightly different reflections of their core personality, and that is why they are drawn together in an enchanting dance that is somewhat like a tango. 

Now, there are ways in which Leo gets frustrated because Pisces can have lower attachment levels and wants to avoid commitment. Pisces can find Leo domineering and imposing, and in some ways, they can suffocate and frustrate each other. However, if they can take more time to learn each other’s languages, it can be successful.

Pisces and Virgo – High Compatibility 

A lot of people reading this won’t realize these two signs have a lot in common. Well, that’s just the point—they are so very different in many ways. Pisces can be more easy-going, laxative, whimsical, and prone to feeling their way through life. Virgo, on the other hand, is a planner who likes to think ahead, assess certainties, and work through things with a factual, analytical mindset.Often, Pisces want to escape and detach from reality, whereas Virgo is firmly rooted in reality. 

As you can see, both of them have what the other needs. Pisces can activate Virgo’s imagination, help them tap into their creativity and need for escapism, and Virgo can bring some organization and focus to Pisces, helping them to actualize their potential. They really like the differences, and they find it rewarding to be with someone who kind of takes them out of themselves and helps them complete their journey with a little bit of assistance via the traits of the other.

Pisces and Libra – Moderate to High Compatibility 

This connection is tender, spiritual, and often fated. Venus, the ruler of Libra, is exalted in Pisces, which gives this pair a natural emotional and romantic resonance. Libra finds Pisces dreamy, artistic, and emotionally open, while Pisces is drawn to Libra’s calm presence, charm, and refined taste.

There’s an immediate sense of empathy and understanding between them. Libra’s cardinal nature helps give direction to Pisces’s emotionally fluctuating waters, while Pisces encourages Libra to connect more deeply with their feelings. Together, they can build a relationship full of romance, compassion, and shared creativity. 

The challenge lies in practicality. Both star signs can avoid confrontation and prefer peace, which means issues may get brushed under the carpet. Libra may also find Pisces too sensitive at times, while Pisces can see Libra as overly rational or detached. Yet, when they embrace each other’s strengths, this union becomes poetic, loving, and deeply fulfilling — a bond where love feels both magical and meaningful.

Pisces and Scorpio – Moderate Compatibility 

When two water signs come together, the result is often magical and Scorpio with Pisces is no exception. These two signs share an unspoken emotional understanding and an intuitive bond that feels destined. Pisces offers compassion, imagination, and unconditional love, while Scorpio brings strength, devotion, and emotional depth. 

This is one of the most spiritually and emotionally enriching matches in the zodiac. Scorpio feels safe revealing their vulnerability to Pisces, while Pisces finds comfort in Scorpio’s unwavering loyalty. Both value emotional honesty and crave soulful connection and when they fall in love, it’s often intense, creative, and healing. 

However, because both signs are emotional, they must take care not to drown in each other’s moods. Scorpio’s possessiveness can sometimes make Pisces feel trapped, while Pisces’s occasional vagueness can frustrate Scorpio. Still, if they maintain emotional boundaries and learn to channel their shared sensitivity into creativity or spiritual growth, this relationship can be a beautiful, lifelong union.

Pisces and Sagittarius – High Compatibility 

These are the dreamers of the zodiac — a compatible couple who love exploring through the mind and often through travel. They tend to never really want to settle down in one place. This may be one of those couples that are always moving home or spending time living abroad, simply because they like to sample the flavours of life in as many ways as possible. 

Pisces has the kind of laid-back acceptance that helps Sagittarius feel relaxed and at peace. As Pisces are usually very emotionally aware, they can give Sagittarius a feeling of coming home, of being understood and accepted. In that way, they ground Sagittarius.

For Pisces, they need a partner who is kind but protective and can almost be their saviour and they certainly have that, because Pisces often want to be rescued in a way by a partner and to go on a journey with them. Sagittarius is the rescuer after all.

Pisces and Capricorn – Moderate to High Compatibility 

This relationship is powerful because of the friendship and also the romantic element. It is very good on a spiritual level, and these star signs may actually be twin flames. They have a lot to give each other and to gain from the relationship. 

They are very different, yet they share a certain sensitivity and creativity. On a chemical level, they are very compatible. Their views on life and the way they live life, however, are totally different, but they are very complementary. As long as both are eager to learn from each other and don’t try to remake each other, this can work. The last thing they should ever try to do is change each other, because that is often where the relationship goes wrong. I feel this is a relationship with the potential for spiritual awakening and for both to reach a romantic dream they never imagined they could.

Pisces and Aquarius – Moderate to High Compatibility 

This is a match which is fairly common in real life and can be successful. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, and Pisces is ruled by Neptune. Both have a slightly unorthodox approach to life. They are both star signs that like to detach and escape; they are not as plugged into reality and materialism as many of the other signs. Therefore, often together, they can pursue things—be it spirituality, travel, social causes, or humanitarian causes—that inspire them at a higher level. 

Both of them deeply want their life to be meaningful and want a higher purpose to guide them. Sometimes in their journey together, they find many commonalities that are deeply rewarding for them. 

However, they are also both people who have complex personalities, and some of those complexities can involve behavior that is a little obsessive, perhaps addictive, or even avoidant. When they come together, these tendencies can be magnified. So they both have to be alert to the insecurities and sometimes the victim complexes they carry, to ensure these don’t get amplified when they are together. 

They need to focus on healing and moving forward together rather than indulging in negativity. 

As a whole, this can be a deeply spiritual and rewarding relationship and also one where they are able to create a lot of good value for others around them. They are a couple that gives a lot back.

Pisces and Pisces – Moderate Compatibility 

Pisces and Pisces are a moderately compatible match — not necessarily a bad or a detrimental match, but it can be a little bit like a helium balloon that flies off and no one can catch it again. 

What I feel is that this relationship can lack structure and focus, and can ultimately run around in circles because neither partner knows where they’re going. Sometimes, each partner is also having an identity crisis. The Piscean nature is very fluid, and when there are two Pisces together, it can initially feel wonderful — anything goes, there’s total acceptance, and it can be a blissful love bubble. However, over time, when responsibilities hit, there can be too much procrastination, and sometimes a blame game ensues. For this pairing to work, it helps if one has an Aries or Libra ascendant or perhaps a fire or Earth Moon in one of them — this is also extremely helpful. 

There has to be something in this mix to create a more systematic, methodical approach to life and to give them a sense of reality. This relationship also needs some propulsion, so fire is necessary to drive it forward otherwise, together, they may just end up having a good time but never really making plans to get married or have a family, and they may simply allow life to pass them by.

Tips for Dating Pisces 

If you want to date a Pisces, listen to the song by Lionel Richie, *All Night Long*, because once they get out, they just don’t want to go home. Basically, Pisces are up for a party, and even later in life, when they’ve maybe gone out of the partying phase, they still enjoy socialising and going to ‘nice’ places. 

Pisces do like to be wine-and-dined, to go to sophisticated restaurants, and they enjoy investigating the latest spots downtown. So, they definitely have a penchant for the nightlife. But there’s something else they love: movies. Pisces love escaping, so for them, a love language is being cozy on the sofa and watching both romantic and sometimes spooky movies, because they enjoy the esoteric realm. 

Pisces are quite flexible and easily pleased, but they don’t always say what they want. So, what you have to be careful of in a relationship with Pisces is thinking everything’s going well but not realizing that they are just people-pleasing. 

Pisces are amazingly good actors, so don’t think that you have seen all sides of them or know what they truly think. You have to be very patient to get to know a Pisces, and even after many years, they may still be a mystery.

The key to romance with Pisces is to be a witty, entertaining partner. Communicate well, make sure that the relationship remains versatile, do new things together, and bring a sense of adventure to their life. 

Show them that you are open-minded and ready to be a good listener — and make sure you *do* listen. Don’t just take them for granted, because Pisces are so easygoing that you may not realize when they are feeling neglected. It’s important to use gifting as a love language but also to work hard at being creatively romantic, because they get bored with anything that feels false or a little bit cliché. 

Final Thoughts 

Pisces is an astrology sign that gels well with most signs of the zodiac because they’re adaptable, easygoing, and superb actors who are good at mirroring and giving other people what they want or telling them what they want to hear. 

The big conundrum with Pisces is: how do you really get to know them at a deep level? That’s why water signs are very good with Pisces — they have the intuition to see deeper into their character. However, the best relationships with Pisces are actually with mutable signs, who have the adventurous, social, and communicative ability to keep Pisces engaged in the relationship. The more engaged Pisces are, and the longer the relationship goes on, the more they will reveal of themselves — although, watch out: they will always remain an unknown quantity to a degree. 

Pisces are not necessarily the most physically affectionate of signs, but they do enjoy physical warmth and being reassured. They love communication, and they enjoy a relationship that feels like it’s always on a journey somewhere.
