Pisces Compatibility and Best Matches for Love

Pisces, you're a dreamer caught up in your own mystical world that's part fantasy and part reality. Chances are good that you dream about meeting the perfect match - the soulmate and one true love who totally gets you, grounds you, and brings the soul-quenching sensuality and intimacy that you desire along with a love for the simple pleasures that make life worth living.

Pisces Best Matches for Love and Romance

When assessing Pisces compatibility, not all zodiac signs can be the night in shining armor that you dream about. Earth signs Taurus and Capricorn are Pisces's best matches. Both bring a steady, down-to-earth, and grounded presence into your life, making them the best matches of the zodiac for your ethereal nature. And while Taurus and Capricorn are the best Pisces matches, they're far from the only ones.

Pisces Compatibility Chart

Check out this chart of various relationship aspects and how each sign matches with Pisces.

Pisces Compatibility With Every Zodiac Sign

No matter how much of a romantic you are, Pisces, you can't be highly compatible with everyone. Your best matches tend to be grounded earth signs and emotional water signs.

It's not that there can't be friendship and even passion with fire or air signs, it's just that the true intimacy, friendship, and trust required to build a lasting relationship may be lacking in one or more of these critical areas. But that doesn't mean they won't make for great pals or an exciting roll in the hay.

Pisces & Aries: Different Approaches to Life

Pisces, Aries isn't your worst match ever, but they're far from your best. The pairing has a few things going for it. You're both social, so you'll enjoy going out together and hanging out with friends. You're also likely to share some common interests, so you'll enjoy one another's company.

But your fundamental approaches to life are vastly different. Aries has a take-no-prisoners attitude and a YOLO lifestyle that can be disconcerting to your more cautious nature. Aries also tends to speak and act before they think, which you may find upsetting, and their communication style will probably feel overly aggressive. And Aries may find your less direct communication style manipulative or even deceptive.

In order for this pairing to work, you'll need to find ways to bridge these big communication gaps so you can build more trust.

Pisces & Taurus: Grounded and Stable

You and Taurus are great together because each has strengths the other lacks. A Taurus is down-to-earth, practical, and stable. They can provide the direction, consistency, and stability you need.

As a Pisces, you have a tendency to drift through life, and a Taurus can be like an anchor at the center of your world - in the best way possible. Meanwhile, you're the type to shower a Taurus with the attention and gentle affection they need.

As far as passion goes, both of you are all about life's pleasures, so your connection with a Taurus can be highly pleasurable and even feel a little hedonistic. You're also both introverts who appreciate beauty in all its forms, so you'll find plenty of things in common. This is one of your best overall matches for a long-term and lasting relationship.

Pisces & Gemini: Speaking a Different Language

Even when you speak the same language, Pisces, you and Gemini might as well be each speaking in tongues to one another. While you're both mutable signs and are each flexible and adaptable, Gemini tends to be quite blunt, while you're more likely to beat around the bush. This communications mismatch might leave you with hurt feelings while Gemini feels frustrated that you didn't intuit the intent behind their words.

Gemini is also highly sociable and a little flirty with everyone, which can make you feel unappreciated, jealous, and even unloved. Meanwhile, your emotional intensity might overwhelm analytical Gemini. Still, if you can each use these differences as growth opportunities, there's always a chance it could work out. Never say never.

Pisces & Cancer: Emotionally Engaging

You'll find you have plenty in common with Cancer, and it's likely you'll experience a strong emotional bond right from the beginning. Cancer gravitates towards your artistic and sometimes mysterious nature, while you truly appreciates Cancer's loving personality. Cancer is the outstanding domestic and nurturer of the zodiac, which can fill your need to feel deeply taken care of and supported.

As long as you can find healthy ways to manage your emotional natures, a Pisces match with Cancer can be strong and solid.

Pisces & Leo: Introvert and Extrovert

At first, you might be attracted to Leo for the same reason many others are: their charisma. And Leo will be drawn to your air of mystery. This can cause an instant and magnetic attraction that can also lead to fireworks in the bedroom.

While the passion may be intense, it's often difficult for introverted Pisces to feel completely comfortable with extroverted Leo. Leo loves nothing more than being the loud center of an adoring crowd, and you need your alone time. And while Leo can certainly pull you out of your shell, they can also exhaust you.

While this relationship can work, it's a less-than-ideal match. Leo may not be your Mr./Ms. Right - but your passionate attraction makes Leo a good choice for Mr./Ms. Right Now.

Pisces & Virgo: Great Conversations

If you're looking for someone to stay up late into the night sharing deep and intimate pillow talk, then Virgo is a great match. This high level of communication is definitely vital to handling what's likely to be a highly fluctuating relationship. But Virgo's analytical and detailed nature could be a little much for you, Pisces, and your mysterious nature can inflame Virgo's inherent trust issues.

On the plus side, you're both adaptable and flexible, and this inherent flexibility could serve a long-term relationship well. There's potential with a Virgo, but you're both going to need to work for it.

Pisces & Libra: Trust May Be a Challenge

Libra is a social butterfly, and you might just find that exhausting. Because you both desire peace and harmony, you're both likely to try to smooth over any disagreements the second they arise - you by softening the truth to keep the peace and Libra through their people-pleasing efforts.

Since you're each always bending over backwards to keep the other happy, it can lead to a lack of critical communication and problem solving. The two of you are more likely to bury issues than confront them, which may build up resentment as time passes.

To make this challenging relationship work, you'll each need to find a path to clearly communicate your true feelings.

Pisces & Scorpio: Endless Attraction

You'll be drawn to Scorpio's intensity - both of you are mysterious and intrigued by a mystery, which can lead to a fiery, passionate relationship. There's a fierce attraction and a general sense of well-being when you're together.

Scorpio's intense nature will fascinate you endlessly. Scorpio is probably your best match of the three water signs. Scorpio is the dominant sign in this pairing and can give you the stability you desire. If you're both willing to work at the relationship, it could last a lifetime.

Pisces & Sagittarius: Commitment Issues

Both you and Sagittarius have commitment issues, Pisces, but for different reasons. Sagittarians are adventure seekers who don't want to be pinned down, while your commitment issues come from your impossibly high standards. You're looking for your soulmate for life, which makes it difficult for you to commit, and Sagittarius just wants to be free. This isn't a great formula for relationship success.

Sagittarius's love of freedom may intrigue you initially. Their sense of adventure can pull you out of your shell, but being on the go so much may leave you longing for hearth and home. And their bluntness can definitely hurt your feelings. So, while this initially may be an exciting relationship, it will take significant work on both of your parts to make it for the long haul.

Pisces & Capricorn: A Strong Match

A strong, serious Capricorn can be a stabilizing influence for your more capricious nature, and there's probably no better way for a Capricorn to learn to relax than hooking up with you. As stoic as a Capricorn might be, they aren't unemotional, and as emotional as a Pisces might be, they can be quite rational. When a Capricorn and Pisces come together, they bring out those qualities in one another.

Together, a Capricorn and Pisces create the perfect blend of stability, trust, and emotional excitement. This is a great match.

Pisces & Aquarius: Compatible Friends, Unexciting Lovers

Both you and Aquarius are open-minded and creative, which can lead to a beautiful friendship. And while it's true that some of the best love relationships start as good friendships, it may be an uphill battle for you and Aquarius.

You have a deep need for emotional connection, and while an Aquarius isn't without emotion, you may perceive them as being detached. That's because you lead with your heart and emotions, while Aquarius always leads with their mind.

Your desire for deep intimacy in your relationships could clash with Aquarius's drive for independence in all things. And since you derive your passion from emotional connection and intimacy, the two of you are unlikely to catch fire in the bedroom.

Pisces and Pisces: A Capricious Pair

The combination of Pisces paired with Pisces can be capricious, much like the sign itself. The two might feel they've made a soulmate connection since they both seem to understand each other's dreamy, emotional nature. On the other hand, it could be a relationship where the pair begins to drift apart. While you may initially feel you've found a little piece of yourself in your fellow Pisces, over time the trust may erode.

What Pisces Needs in a Relationship

Pisces are dreamy and fantasy-oriented. Though they're often not rooted in reality or bound by rationality, they are exceptionally intuitive. They frequently catch the small uncanny signals in life.

As a water sign, Pisces seeks deep emotional connection and understanding in a relationship. If you're interested in pursuing a relationship with a Pisces, you'll need to meet their needs and desires.

Emotional Depth and Connection

Pisces usually have rich, deep emotional lives, and they value partners who can engage with them at this level. They appreciate a partner who can provide emotional support and comfort, and they want to be able to share their feelings openly.

Understanding and Empathy

Pisces tend to be very empathetic and compassionate, and they seek the same from their partner. They value being understood and appreciated for their sensitivity and kindness. They also need a partner who can respect their feelings and emotions, even when they may seem overwhelming or overly complex.

Romance and Affection

Pisces is a romantic sign, and individuals born under it often appreciate gestures of love and affection. They are generally drawn to partners who can express their love openly and honestly, and who are not afraid to show their affectionate side.

Creativity and Imagination

Pisces are known for their rich imagination, and they appreciate a partner who can share in their creative pursuits and support their dreams. They are attracted to people who appreciate their creative and artistic expressions.

Stability and Security

Despite their dreamy nature, Pisces also craves a sense of stability and security. They need to feel safe to express their emotions without fear of judgment or rejection.

Partnering With a Pisces

While Pisces is most compatible with earth signs and other water signs, compatibility isn't only a function of your sun sign. All aspects of your chart come into play when assessing compatibility with other zodiac signs. So even if it doesn't look like it's a sun sign match, don't be afraid to explore a strong attraction. Other areas of your chart may be highly compatible, giving the relationship long-term potential.
