Pisces is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac and marks the end of winter season as well as the culmination of the first quarter of the year (Q1). Because it is the final astrological sign of the zodiac, Pisces encapsulates qualities of all of the other zodiac signs, and represents the transition from an incarnated life to the spirit world. The same energy is carried in the number 9 in Numerology or Gematria.
What Are Pisces Traits? / Pisces Characteristics
So now you know what zodiac sign is March, but what about Pisces characteristics? What are Pisces traits? If we were to describe Pisces qualities, some words that come to mind are visionary (being ahead of their time), spiritual, humble, creative, naïve, innocent, trusting, emotionally open, sympathetic, shy, and highly imaginative.
Overall, Pisces are dreamers. They wish for the world to be different than it is now. Pisces long for a utopia. Unfortunately, this desire for a utopia doesn’t fit into our real world landscape and is a formula for continual abject disappointment for Pisces.
The utopia Pisceans seek requires real work and a great spiritual revelation and outpouring by the masses in order to move from the 3D (3rd dimension) into the 5D (5th dimension). This will take some time. Years, decades, perhaps? Some say we are at the brink. But either way, it will take time and effort. Is Pisces willing to put in that time and effort? This remains to be seen.
What Are Pisces Known For
Because of their strong intuition, Pisces who choose to develop any one of the psychic abilities on this list can be great mentors and helpers of humanity. Often Pisces natives are drawn to healing professions because of their strong empathetic and altruistic leaning.
What Type Of Person Is A Pisces?
Constantly daydreaming, or with their head in the clouds, (sometimes even while driving), Pisces often choose the most inappropriate time to fantasize because they are routinely trying to escape this world and move into the next spiritual evolutionary phase. They have one foot in this world and one foot in the spirit world. This is why many Pisceans have prophetic dreams, thoughts, and are highly connected to the Divinity.
Pisceans daydream quite a bit. Having a robust imagination is one of their best traits. With it they are able to dream up wild and novel ideas that are often ahead of their time and move society onto the next level (transformational).
What Does Pisces Look Like?
When it comes to hair on the head, Pisces (or Pisces rising / ascendant) tend to have thin or thinning hair. Why? Because the word “Pisces” is the Latin translation for “Fish.” And fish don’t have hair. So many Pisceans will have fine hair or bald heads.
Walking is a different story altogether. Fish aren’t accustomed to walking. They swim. So for a Piscean, the act of walking is not going to be like every other zodiac sign. Pisces (or Pisces rising or ascendant) will have an odd way of walking. If you pay attention to the way they move their legs and feet, their gait and stride is often angled and move at a slant, rather than in a straight line.
Pisces rules the feet. So Pisceans should make a point of taking special care of their feet. Reflexology classes to learn about the foot-body connection, as well as comfortable, shoes, regular pedicures, and foot massages. Pisces often suffer from flat feet (also known as fallen arches). Foot problems often lead to back problems. So beware Pisces natives.
Pisces Traits
Piscean personality traits cover a spectrum of character types: visionary, scholar, spiritualist, space cadet, and seeker of emotional support & attention. As we view the Pisces natives through the lens of astrology, it allows us to examine more closely Piscean attributes, qualities, and personal peculiarities. If you are familiar with the pisces zodiac sign (or know someone in your life that carries the astrology sign), you can look for these pisces traits and see if they match-up with pisces astrology.
- academic, smart, intellectual, genius (Cindy Crawford, Sharon Stone)
- spiritual (Einstein)
- pioneering, visionary (Steve Jobs) – upgrade
- flakey, space-cadet (any Piscean behind the wheel of a vehicle)
- been there, done that
Pioneering and Visionary
Some say Pisces has the ability to see into the future. In actuality, Pisces has the ability to transport us into the future by bringing the tomorrow into today. Pisceans have the unique and uncanny knack for reconstructing our reality by leveraging imagination and invention, thus propelling our society forward and transforming our world. Below are some examples of notable Piscean pioneers.
Alexander Graham Bell (3 March 1847) – inventor credited with creating the first practical telephone and also co-founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T).
Rhonda Byrne (12 March 1951) – Australian writer and filmmaker who popularized the spiritual Law of Attraction through her pioneering book and documentary film titled, The Secret (2006) bringing spirituality to the mainstream. She has since followed up with the release of her other books The Power (book), The Magic (book), Hero (book). You can find all four (4) books in The Secret book collection series here.
Julius Erving (22 February 1950) – also referred to as, “Dr. J”, popularized the slam dunk in professional basketball (NBA) by incorporating more athletically executed versions (with high-flying jumps and turns). He began the evolution of the slam dunk which elevated dunking into the standard it is today.
Rudy Ray Moore (17 March 1927) – “the Godfather of Rap” – pioneer of a musical revolution by changing the landscape of music and inventing an entirely new genre.
Academically-inclined / Scholarly
When it comes to book smarts, Pisces has the edge. Remember that Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, so in past lives it has experienced all of the stages of life beforehand. This life is the final step. So Pisces has the advantage of gathering all of that previous experience and collecting it and leveraging it for academic achievement.
In fact, learning in an academic environment comes very naturally, often catapulting way past their schoolmates. Hours and hours of studying is not that necessary. Often the concepts just ‘come’ to them, perhaps even with a photographic memory.

Rashida Jones (25 February 1976) has all the hallmarks of a book-smart Piscean, even referring to herself as a “straight-up nerd”. Her famous father, and fellow Piscean, Quincy Jones, would often catch a six-year-old Rashida sneaking in a late-night reading session underneath the covers equipped with a flashlight and thumbing through five books at a time way past bedtime.

Pisces Personality
In terms of how pisces acts, Pisces tend to be lower energy, calmer personalities. Although they can be somewhat emotional, the emotions usually fluctuate between somber and cheerful. Pisceans aren’t known for having fiery outbursts of anger, but from time to time can show their ire. In fact, they prefer sensuality and emotional warmth.

How To Improve Pisces Personality
As with all zodiac signs, there is room for improvement. Pisces need to work on their tendency to latch onto others for emotional support. Learning to stand on one’s own two feet is truly key to Piscean development. A chief complaint of Pisces is their neediness in relationships. Building self-esteem and working on self confidence is a good skill for Pisces natives.
