The twelfth and final sign of the zodiac is Pisces (Feb 20th-Mar 20th)and it is symbolised by the fish. It represents the end of the circle yet is also the sign of rebirth, eternity, and reincarnation. Pisces are believed to be more in tune with the spiritual world than any other sign. Much of their energy is spent on their inner spiritual journey. Pisces are truly old souls who may have so much experience because they have lived past lives.

Pisces are very sensitive and have the ability to read others well. When they have a hunch, you may want to go with it, as they are very intuitive, perhaps even psychic. They have a natural gift of prophecy and are many times involved in the occult and spiritualism. This may have to do with the fact that they are ruled by Neptune, the planet of mystery.

Pisces are influenced by the environment around them and the people in it more so than any other sign of the zodiac. They have a great ability to empathise with others and are themselves pleasant and easy going people. However, they are often misunderstood and can become downhearted because of it.

The Dreamer

Pisces love to dream. They are very creative and artistic people and their imagination often runs wild. In fact, they may have a problem at times distinguishing fantasy from reality. They tend to go with their emotions and instincts rather than their rational and intellect. Pisces make great writers, artists, and musicians.

Compassionate

Pisces are very compassionate towards others. They have a sense that seems to let them get inside another's skin to understand how they are feeling. However, they get so into other people's problems, they often lose strength they need themselves. Pisces are very impressionable and are susceptible to almost anyone's sob story. Being so empathetic, it is often hard for a Pisces to turn down someone they think is in need of their help. They may find their self-sacrificing ways and caring nature is often taken advantage of by others.

Weaknesses

Due to their naïvety and need to help others, Pisces may become depressed and disillusioned when someone cheats them or betrays their kindness. It can lead a Pisces to question his or her own nature and that brings about confusion and anxiety. They may, if hurt enough times, begin to distrust others.

Because they often live in a dream world, they may be impractical and lazy. They may lack confidence in themselves at times and that leads them to be loners.
