Pisces Sign Zodiac Tendencies, Personality Traits and Astrology Characteristics

Pisces is a feminine sign and tends to have quite tolerant, compassionate, sympathetic and agreeable characteristics. They are perhaps the most selfless and sensitive of all the zodiac signs. In relationships, both male and female are very loving, generous and kind. This woman or man always has time for those in need. However, their feelings run so deep they are often overwhelmed by them as the characteristic Piscean energy scatters itself beyond its limits. Their personality simply cannot abide suffering and will offer charity wherever their sensitivity directs this trait.
On the shadow side, the agreeability of Pisceans can make for quick reversal as they hop from opinion to opinion. They may be very scattered and disorganized. Their compassion may make them tolerant of wrong behavior; thus they can be wishy-washy, weak and easily led. Their characteristic idealism can degenerate into escapism, which unfortunately can manifest itself as substance abuse. Spiritually, the challenge for Pisces is to draw healthy boundaries, as they are so drawn into the problems of others that their emotional well being may suffer.
Professionally, Pisces excels in the healing arts and all charitable pursuits. They frequently are drawn toward social services, nursing or the clergy, for example. Often their creative tendencies bring them into the arts. They would do well professionally to find a Virgo, their opposite sign, who can help Pisces males and females to be more grounded and organized.
These traits may reveal themselves in those with Pisces rising sign or moon in their birth chart as well.
