Pisces is mutable water — no fixed edges, which is both the gift and the whole problem. It is the most empathetic sign and the most permeable one, absorbing other people's moods so completely that it frequently cannot tell which feelings are its own. The creativity, the kindness and the escapism all come from the same place.
In love, Pisces gives generously and almost without conditions, which is beautiful and occasionally dangerous. It will forgive things that should not be forgiven, and it will disappear rather than say something unkind. What it needs is a partner who insists on the truth gently and often, because Pisces will not volunteer a complaint until it has become a decision.
