If you were born between 19 February and 20 March, you have undeniable Pisces traits. Ruled by both Jupiter and Neptune, you are very sensitive and your strong emotions are always pushing you to realise different sides of yourself. You find fulfilment through helping people and forming stronger bonds with others, but you may have to remember to protect your own energy from time to time. Some of your best personal growth comes when you take moments to be by yourself.
Below, 10 Pisces traits that will make you go “That’s so me”.
You probably need a lot of alone time
You are more of an introvert, and participating in huge group outings may often feel very draining or overwhelming for you. Even if you like hanging out with friends, there may be a time limit on how long you can stay out. You may need to periodically be alone in order to recharge your batteries and feel refreshed.
You want to marry someone after going on one date with them
When you like someone, you probably build up a romantic fantasy in your head about the relationship. You could often find yourself imagining a future with someone before you really even get to know them. It’s important that you approach dating more realistically and stay aware of any red flags the other person is showing you.
You easily absorb other people’s energy
You tend to pick up on the general mood around you, and you may be able to sense when someone is having an off day or is feeling down. Whatever atmosphere you find yourself in probably affects you a lot more than it does for others. Sometimes you may even find it hard to differentiate between what are someone else’s emotions versus what are your own.
You have a creative side
You appreciate art and beauty, and you probably like to dress well or spend time carefully decorating your home. You might also be full of creative ideas or have some type of artistic hobby which you can turn to in order to blow off steam. You may naturally be able to express your emotions through creative writing, artistic works or music.
You love to talk about spiritual and mystical subjects
You might be the person in your friend group who knows the most about topics like astrology, psychics or tarot. You’re very interested in understanding how your life is tied in with bigger-picture themes. You also enjoy diving deeper into subjects that help explain your own personality traits in order to have greater self-awareness.
You’re very compassionate and caring, which is sometimes your downfall
You give a lot of your energy away to others, and you might always want to make sure everyone else is doing okay without checking in on yourself. You may give and give to someone, only to realise later that they weren’t worthy of all of your attention. You may have to learn how to set boundaries and say no sometimes.
You’re very sensitive
You are probably the first person to cry during a romantic movie, or you could just tear up randomly about almost anything. You find even the littlest gestures very touching. Keeping your feelings all bottled up might be difficult for you because your emotions can be a little overwhelming.
You have a strong intuition
You may often get an initial gut instinct about certain people or situations, which is hard to ignore. You’re able to just sense things, especially when someone or something feels off. You may make your most important decisions based on what your emotions are telling you, even if you can’t fully explain why you feel that way.
You love forming deeper connections
You like to have conversations with people, where you’re fully opening up to each other and talking about your emotions or past experiences. Especially when you’re in a relationship, you want to feel completely connected to the other person. You can’t really relate to someone when that emotional depth isn’t there.
Your work may involve helping other people
There may be an element of your job where you’re giving advice to others and helping them through their problems. You’re a natural healer, and it’s easy for you to make people feel comfortable. Even if these factors aren’t a part of your day-to-day work, you may still like to do community service projects on the side.
