Those born between February 19 and March 20 have a Pisces Sun sign.

The sign of Pisces is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance, and Neptune, the planet of dreams, which affect Pisces’ personality and influence their deep thinking, psychic ability, and mysterious nature.

Pisces is represented by the Fish, which makes sense, considering they are an emotional and intuitive water sign. Pisces is also a Mutable sign, meaning they adapt to change with ease.

Because the Fish is the last zodiac sign in the cycle, the Pisces man embodies all the traits of the other signs and has an old soul.

Pisces man good traits

Deeply spiritual, the Pisces male also has a strong connection with his feelings. Because of this, he tends to be artsy, but with all these emotions swirling around, it becomes overwhelming, causing mood swings. Just like the tides, their emotions come in waves.

Not only are men born with a Pisces sun sign deeply emotional, but they also have extreme sensitivity toward most situations. These men tend to be empathic, absorbing the emotions of others around them; they are also imaginative, romantic, compassionate, charming, and introverted.

These empathic men are able to connect to others on a personal level, showing empathy and sympathy no matter the situation. Emotional by nature, if they see someone crying or upset, they too become this way.

Being this emotional also allows them the ability to be selfless, whether it’s towards a loved one or a complete stranger. They bend over backward for those they love most, and are the shoulder to lean on.

Pisces man bad traits

While they can be selfless and sensitive, Pisces men also tend to be idealistic, pessimistic dreamers.

Pisces are empathetic and compassionate, yes, but they have a tendency to retreat into their own imaginary worlds, preferring to hide from their feelings rather than confront them. They are emotional and sensitive, but those emotions can change their moods in an instant; they also have pessimistic tendencies and idealistic views of the world.

Pisces are prone to mood swings because they are overly emotional. Most of the time, they themselves don’t know why they act so negatively, and in their confusion, tend to push others away.

This negativity can easily affect their friendships and romantic relationships, and they struggle to move on from situations that challenge them in this way.

Still, this man is a daydreamer to the core and can connect with others on a personal level. His passionate personality attracts potential mates easily, and he’s true to himself.

Overall, Pisces guys have big, loveable hearts, and though they have weaknesses, what zodiac sign doesn’t?

Pisces man in love and relationships

When a Pisces man searches for the perfect mate, he’s initially shy and unwilling to directly approach the object of his affection. While it takes some time for him to open himself up, once he does, it’s an experience anyone would be lucky to have.

Dating a Pisces man

Dating a Pisces man means being showered with romance and gentleness; he’s the type of person to show his growing adoration with selfless acts and endless catering to needs.

And once he falls in love, that selflessness permeates through the entire relationship. He loves fully and without limits, with the end goal of absolute harmony and peace between him and his partner.

Pisces are attracted to people who are spiritual, empathetic, sensitive, but also dominant and confident. Attracting a Pisces means connecting with them on an emotional level, asserting some form of dominance in a friendship or relationship, having goals of your own, and being true to yourself.

Pisces man compatibility

The ideal mate is someone who understands this level of romance, and wants something not-so-casual with him; if he’s rejected in this way, he becomes withdrawn, and that moodiness will consume him.

When he enters a relationship of romantic love, he’s a loyal companion, but there are a few drawbacks that some partners aren’t prepared for.

His partner must accept his need to be overly romantic and emotional, and be prepared for moments of spontaneity and excitement. Because if his mate rebukes this, he will become disillusioned, begin to check out of the relationship and look for something he thinks better suits him.

In terms of Pisces compatibility, this sign is most compatible with fellow water signs Cancer and Scorpio and Earth signs Taurus and Capricorn.

Cancer is emotional and sensitive, and has plenty of love to give. Scorpio is intense and passionate and offers Pisces protection. Taurus can ground Pisces in reality, and the two share a love of art and beauty. Capricorn brings stability to a relationship with Pisces, and is kind and loyal.
