The Pisces Personality Type
by Brigid Bishop
Having a mother and an elder brother belonging to this sun sign has really given me an inside look at what makes both the female and the male Pisces tick. Every Pisces will be just a tad bit different than these generalities based on a full chart comparison, however, wherever you find Pisces in anyone’s chart, these characteristics will be displayed.
Common to both sexes of the sign of The Fish is a need for true love, faith and inner peace. Without these influences in the lives of our friend Pisces, we see a tendency toward escapism and fantasy.
Pisces may well be the kindest sign in the zodiac, and due to this kindness, they are often shocked when others’ behave in ways that are unkind or cruel, hence, the myth that they can be “gullible” arises. Pisces are not gullible, they just expect the best from everyone, and assume that people don’t go around intentionally hurting each other because it is not a thing that they themselves would do.
They can, at times, be subject to depression, because they see life as mystical and magical and take it as karmic law when bad things happen to them or those they love.
Pisces are extremely romantic. Did I say extremely? I mean, mark this EXTREMELY ROMANTIC. Both the male and female of this loving sign believe that love itself is magic, destined, “meant to be”, fated, etc., etc., etc., and they firmly believe in happy endings.
Pisces love to take care of others.
The Pisces Female may so drown you in affection that you need to escape her from time to time, this will hurt her deeply, she just wants to show you how much SHE LOVES YOU! Try to be tolerant of this abundance of love and take your space as needed in positive ways, like joining a gym or club or group and making sure that while she is at work you attend. Pisces females are prone to a sense of abandonment when left alone too long, so always make sure that when you need your space you can give her a good reason for it, like volunteering at a hospital so that she can’t ring your cell phone every hour to check on you.
It’s NOT that she is needy, she wants to make sure that YOU have everything YOU need to be happy. This can be overwhelming to some of us more independent signs.
The Pisces Woman will do everything within her power and her remarkable imagination to fulfill all of your dreams, fantasies and desires. This is certainly not a bad thing!

The Pisces Male is a care giver extraordinaire as well. He will work long and hard to make your dreams come true. He too, will demonstrate the constant checking and rechecking of YOUR needs, but may not be quite as frequent in his assessments.
The Pisces Male can actually be quite shy, and this shyness can be misinterpreted as standoffishness or aloofness, it’s not the case, he just needs to feel his comfort zone before he goes public with his ideas and feelings.
Pisces Men are good at sorting out other people’s troubles and typically find themselves in some type of leadership position whether they want it or not.
Famous Pisces Men
Billy Crystal, Jon Bon Jovi, Albert Einstein, Bruce Willis, Johnny Knoxville, Rob Lowe, Johnny Cash, Freddie Prinze Jr., Benicio del Toro, Kurt Cobain, Billy Corgan, Michael Bolton
Both the Male and Female Fish are the types who may actually lie to spare your feelings. They do not want to be dishonest with you, but they can’t stand to hurt you.
The House where Pisces resides in your chart is where you peacefully get by and tend to have faith.
