What’s a Pisces?
Between February 19th and March 20th, some of the most wonderfully creative people in the world are born. They are born under the Zodiac Sign of Pisces. Pisces is a Water Sign. This means that they are very in touch with their emotions and they relate to people through their feelings. Think of what water itself does. Without water, there would be no life on earth. Water cleanses, heals, and rejuvenates, but sometimes if there's too much water, there's a flood and it can be deadly. This is a perfect illustration of a Water Sign’s emotions. They are constantly balancing the way they feel about things so that their feelings don't overtake them.
Pisces is also a Mutable Sign, making them flexible. They have the powerful ability to adapt and roll with the punches when there are changes. This can also make them very uncomfortable when things haven't changed in a very long time. Some people really like this about Mubable Signs, though. It makes them excellent team players who are capable of moving along instead of staying stagnant in the past. It also means that if you don't move when they're ready to, they will leave you in the dust. Read more about Pisces here: Pisces Zodiac Traits and Love Compatibility
Pisces’ Five Best Traits
This article is supposed to be about the negative traits of Pisces. It's just not fair to write about somebody's dark traits without talking about their good traits first. Besides, Pisces people are very caring friends and we love to keep our friends happy. On the positive side, Pisces is perhaps the most romantic and thoughtful Zodiac Sign. They also have the psychic gift of empathy and are emotionally connected to people. They have some of the most creative and powerful imaginations on earth.
Romantic
If you want a romantic lover, shoot for a Pisces. They are always thinking about emotionally beautiful things, and that makes them pros at being romantic. If they can't automatically tell what gets it for you, they will ask. They love to be in love, and they love to make the person who they love the center of their attention. Some Pisces will get nice little gifts for you, but others will just give you the most romantic gaze you ever saw in your life. They really will make you feel like you are the only person on earth who matters to them. What could be more romantic?
Thoughtful
Even if they are not romantically connected to you, your Pisces friend or family member will always be thinking of your feelings. They have the ability to anticipate needs, yes, but when they understand that you need something, they will drop what they're doing and run to your side to give it to you immediately. If you tell them you're not feeling well, they will pull up and tell you to get in the car because they're taking you to the doctor. If you tell them that you need groceries, they will show up to take you to the store. Relationships really do make a Pisces’ world go round, so they will always be thinking of ways to do things for you. Read about the Pisces Zodiac flowers here: What is the Best Pisces Flower?
Empathic
Empathy is the ability to feel other people's feelings, and almost every Pisces ever was born with that ability. It's one of the psychic powers, and it's what helps them to tune in. Some of them can even feel animal’s feelings, and they don't necessarily have to have a relationship with you to feel how you feel. Pisces people make excellent teachers, managers, medical workers, and counselors because of their natural ability of being empathic. People who are in relationships with Pisces people love this, because they don't necessarily have to say what they need, their Pisces just knows.
Emotionally Connected
As a Water Sign, Pisces people live to connect to the people who they love. Some people who don't understand will say that Pisces people are overly needy emotionally and they lean on other people too much. That's not fair. You will lean on your Pisces just as much, if not more than they lean on you. If a Pisces cannot open up to you emotionally, they're not going to have a relationship with you. If you don't open up emotionally to your Pisces, they will feel disconnected from you. Another Zodiac Sign which forms powerful emotional connections is Cancer, and you can read more about them here: Cancer Zodiac Traits and Love Compatibility
Imaginative
Often considered the most creative and imaginative Sign in the Zodiac, Pisces is ruled by the planet Neptune. This is a planet known for inspiration and illusions. This gives them a powerful imagination which they have to retreat into. They find amazing ways to express that beautiful imagination, whether it be through music, the visual arts, or the performing arts. Pisces people need to express themselves and bring their inner world out to share it with other people. They bring a lot of beauty and new things into the world this way. Where would we be without them?
Pisces’ Ten Worst Traits
After reading all that, you might feel like Pisces people are complete dream boats and you have to commit your life to one immediately. Not so fast. There are some things you need to be warned about first. Pisces people have a bad habit of trying to escape from reality and one of the ways that they do that is through addictions, but another way they do it is through self isolating. They can be highly unrealistic and avoid responsibility. Read on to get more details about these and a total of ten of the worst Pisces traits to be warned about.
Escapists
Pisces people really go out of their way to do a lot of good things for other people. One minute they will be by your side, being so supportive of you you may wonder if you'll ever feel sad again. The next minute they will have completely disappeared and you will have no idea where they got to. Half the time they'll be right beside you when they do that. They were mentally checked out because reality becomes too overwhelming for them. Other times they will fall off the map and it will be difficult to track them down. When your Pisces shows signs of this, ask them how much time they need alone. Once they get it, they'll be fine. It’s just self-preservation for them and you can learn more about that here: The Case for Self-Preserving
Self-Isolating
Even if nothing seems to be wrong, Pisces people tend to self-isolate sometimes. It's just in their nature to need a lot of time alone. It's because they need to recharge their batteries. Sometimes they've been doing too much, and sometimes they're just emotionally overwhelmed, being natural empaths. Don't, under any circumstances, take this personally. Let them do it.
Addictive Personalities
Some Pisces people seem to handle stress extremely well, others not so much. They can fall into some type of addiction as a form of self comforting. Some Pisces people abuse substances, others will overspend money to satisfy themselves, and others are sex addicts. If your Pisces strays into addiction, you might not be able to redirect them, but you can let them know. That you will give them the same emotional support they have always given you if they decide that they want to kick their addiction. Here are some tips to get started battling an addiction here: The Complete Guide to Kicking Addictions
Overly Tolerant
There's something inside of every Pisces that makes them want to be a highly tolerant individual. Sometimes, they take that too far and they put up with way too much. First off, never take advantage of that tendency in your Pisces. They're not stupid. Once they realize they're being taken advantage of, it will break their heart and they won't do anything else for you. If you see your Pisces being overly tolerant of things or people that they shouldn't, pull them aside and point it out to them. If they love and trust you, they will listen.
Moody
Being an emotional Water Sign would make anybody have mood swings. Little things can set a highly sensitive person off in ways that someone who is less sensitive wouldn’t be. When something has thrown your Pisces off, they might take an attitude, a tone, or they might emotionally fall to pieces. When this happens, take their hand or give them a big hug, and tell them you're listening. Chances are you have leaned on them many times, and now it's your turn for them to lean on you. You might need to encourage them to care less about upsetting things. Here are tips to learn to care less: I Couldn’t Care Less - When Caring Too Much Hurts
Deceptive
Being ruled by Neptune, there is a shroud of mystery that surrounds every Pisces. Sometimes they're just keeping their feelings to themselves because they don't want to dump things on the people who they help. Other times, they're emotionally holding back because they don't feel like there's anyone who they can trust. They can be downright dishonest sometimes. To be fair though, every Sign has their own ways of being dishonest. Anytime anyone who you have a relationship with is dishonest with you, talking it out is the best way to get through it. If you have a relationship with your Pisces, you will be able to work through this.
Unrealistic
Being highly creative, highly imaginative people makes Pisces very unrealistic sometimes. Some Pisces people want to live in a fantasy world. They would rather daydream than work on their own problems and their own lives. They would rather fantasize about the perfect lover than date the person who truly adores them. They would rather be off living a dream than working their job that pays the bills. Make sure your Pisces has plenty of time to pursue their creative outlets and this will help them to be less unrealistic.

Avoiding Responsibility
Being an imaginative and creative sign, facing reality is sometimes something that a Pisces won't want to do. They can rebel by shunning their responsibilities. They might daydream and slack off at work if their job is not challenging or stimulating them. They might grow bored with their romantic relationship and emotionally check out. They might grow tired of studying school subjects that don't support their dreams. Reminding your Pisces that their job pays the bills, you're truly in love, and that to graduate school will push them closer to their dreams is one way to get them back in the swing of being responsible again.
Hedonistic
Pisces can be some of the most hedonistic people there are. They seek pleasure and avoid suffering. When they are truly happy, they feel the most at peace and alive. Food, sax, buying nice things, or having exciting experiences are wonderful things that make life worth living despite all the difficulties that all people face. It is completely understandable that your Pisces would gravitate towards seeking the things that please them. When they take it too far by overspending, neglecting their responsibilities, or eating, drinking, or smoking so much that it affects their health, that it's time to pull them aside and point out what's happening. But still, give them some aphrodisiacs- because they will love it, Learn how here: How to Use an Aphrodisiac for Love and Attraction
Scatter-Brained
Pisces people can work overtime trying to be all things emotionally for all the people they love. Combine that with trying to dream big, bring those dreams to life, and still tolerate the boring humdrum of reality. Your Pisces might multitask their brain in all these different directions so much that it can make them mentally scattered. When this happens, a little quiet time can make a big difference. They are not trying to throw themselves in a million different directions. Life will do that to them sometimes. So, gently guide your Pisces into some personal time for themselves where they can put all the roles that they have to play for other people aside and just relax. If they focus on self-love and self-care, they will come back together. Learn about self-love here: Practicing Self Love
Sweet, empathic, and considerate Pisces can be some of the most loving and healing people out there. Before you decide to sign the marriage papers with the first Pisces you meet, be aware they have their very own dark side. From being scatterbrained, sometimes, being unrealistic, or avoiding responsibility, Pisces people have just as many imperfections as any other Zodiac Sign. If you have a loving, trusting relationship with your Pisces, though, navigating their dark moments is nothing. Hold their hand, communicate directly with them, and love them through any bad moments they have. They are more than worth it.You’ll see.
