Pisces
Water, Mutable, ruled by Jupiter / Neptune
What Pisces Is About
Pisces is the sign of dissolving boundaries — between self and other, real and imagined, logic and feeling. It closes out the zodiac, absorbing something from every sign before it, which gives it an unusual emotional range. Empathy, for Pisces, is almost involuntary.
Element & Modality
As a Water sign, Pisces processes the world almost entirely through feeling and intuition. As a Mutable sign, it adapts fluidly, sometimes too fluidly — Mutable signs close out each season, and Pisces channels that into a porous, absorbent sensitivity to whatever's around it.
