Pisces is a mutable water sign that is concerned with subtle emotions, and secret mystical depths. They are friendly, likeable, with a selfless nature, willing to help others, and don’t expect much in return. Form emotional relationships on the basis of natural order and senses guiding them. With the ruling planet of Neptune – the planet of intuition and compassion, they often find themselves in the company of very different people. Their intuition is strong and is connected to art, music and liberal expression. They need to have an outlet to use in order to feel creative and free. Since they are a water sign, they can be very moody and often let their emotions get the best of them. If they are unbalanced they tend to be distant and lack compassion.
