Pisces Woman

She's the girl of your dreams, waiting to be swept away. The Pisces woman is a walking fantasy, all about magic, music and your wildest imaginings come true. The space around her is pure enchantment. She's best recognized by her luminous eyes, which are often large and a little bit watery. One look into them and you feel her compassion, her beautiful soul and the many layers of depth within her. She's the consummate earth mother, soft and safe, nurturing and lovely to be around. Be careful—once you're hooked, it's hard to break away. Although she's strong and capable, the Pisces woman knows how to play the damsel in distress. Many a man has been lured into being her hero, and she'll willingly let you sweep her away. Pisces rules institutions, including asylums, and indeed her mind can be a bit of a crazy quagmire at times. Don't indulge her dark side by getting lured into drama. Too much "knight in shining armor" can lead to an unequal dynamic between you. If you want to support a Pisces woman, contribute by showing her how powerful she is. Strike a balance between being her savior and her champion, and she'll adore you in the end. If you love an enchanting girl with a quirky streak and can ride the emotional waves she'll go through, the Pisces woman could fulfill your fantasies. As a mother or a friend, her compassion is unparalleled, and she may intuitively sense your angst before you even realized its brewing. However, when she's stuck in victim mode, her mere presence can make you feel guilty and put-upon. It takes strength to guide a Pisces woman out of her martyr mentality, because she can be a tough "shark" in her own right. Don't let her intimidate you. Rather than indulge her "woe is me" tales, solicit her sage advice on your own troubles. Pisces is the sign of the nurse and healer, calm and capable in a crisis. In a flash, she'll shift from helpless to heroic, offering tea and a listening ear—and reconnecting with her true compassionate nature.

Pisces Man

Still waters run deep, and nobody embodies that cliché better than the Pisces man. He's that shy dude grooving quietly to his iPod or watching you tenderly from a distance. With his low-key mystique, you may not even notice him at first. Pisces is the sign of fantasy and imagination, and he'll spend hours daydreaming about you before he even introduces himself. He'll observe you over time, gauging whether it's safe to approach you and ask for a date. Will you hurt him? Are you strong enough to handle his intense moods and broods? He needs to know before getting serious. A born romantic and one of the zodiac's most sensitive signs, the Pisces man plays for keeps. He won't forget a broken heart for years, so be gentle. The best match for Pisces is a woman who's both sensitive and strong, a lover of arts and music, someone who can pull him out of his depths but still allow him to dive down into them. If you have the flexibility and inner strength to stay grounded through his emotional waves, then this Fish will make quite a catch. He likes strong women who can boss him around and who remain slightly out of his reach. He's the sign of fantasy, after all. If you're marrying a Pisces, that means he thinks you're the woman of his dreams—literally. Don't be afraid to take control with a Pisces man, especially when his daydreaming turns into escapism. Let him play in la-la land while you gently take control of the finances and other earthbound essentials. Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions. For him, this marks a lifelong pattern of swimming between security and freedom. He can't have one without the other. The Pisces man needs deep solitude in order to be among people. He craves security but won't commit if he feels it will box him in. On the flip side, he needs to wander and explore but can't without a stable home base. This dual nature can be confounding to many, but the mate who understands and helps him strike the balance will be the one he keeps.
