Pisces, like all water signs, is quite comfortable operating on an emotional level, preferring to be guided by their feelings and intuition rather than logic alone.  

Their highly evolved sixth sense makes for an incredibly intuitive individual who is just as sensitive to the feelings of those around them as they are to their own emotions. Because of this, Pisces is capable of showing great compassion and empathy, even to those who don’t necessarily deserve it.

The 12th house is often called the house of self-undoing which can manifest in Pisces as self-sacrifice, where they basically just give too much. This can sometimes develop into self-pity and victimhood so Pisces needs to beware of falling into the sphere martyrdom. 

These dreamy fish are exceptionally creative and artistic, perhaps even the most imaginative sign in the zodiac. Their connection to the 12th house allows them to easily tap into the realms of dreams, fantasy and the spirit world for inspiration. 

When it comes to love, Pisces wants the fairytale, they’re super romantic and may have a tendency to over idealise their partner. They need to be loved and they need affection from their partner, this neediness can easily become smothering to those with a more independent outlook. When they’re involved with someone they’re very considerate and thoughtful and will go out of their way to show how much they care.
