Two commonly associated characteristics of Pisces are their compassion and their spirituality. This is a sign that sees things beyond the simple human level. They have an ability to transcend the real world and are able to venture into the spiritual world. This sign is dreamy by nature and sees things differently which might make them seem like eccentric people. But they are not. They just understand things at levels which people cannot even begin to comprehend.

While Pisces can be as independent as any other sign, they have a tendency to drift into their own mind. This unfortunately makes them a bit vulnerable and as such can be taken advantage of. The ideal situation to balance these characteristics of Pisces is to be with people who keep them grounded and their head on track. Ideally with the right amount of guidance from people who they are close to and who care about them, will ensure that the Piscean creativity and talent will thrive.

Another of the positive characteristics of Pisces is their friendship. This is a compassionate, devoted and loyal friend who will not hesitate to come to your aid night or day. Their extremely sensitive and empathetic natures make them taken on the problems of their friends and suffer in the same way. A true friend will understand these slightly flawed characteristics of Pisces. They know that feeling this way will only cause more harm than good to their Piscean friend.

While they can be very talented and creative, Pisces don't really make for successful entrepreneurs. Their abilities are entwined with the sensitive and spiritual selves and so ideally they will do well in the arts like music, dance, drama or writing. They lack the leadership skills or even the ruthlessness that any successful businessperson requires. Pisces have all the qualities it takes to be extremely successful in life and can even be role models to their peers. Unfortunately their self-doubt leads to lack of confidence and low self esteem which prevents them from achieving all that they can.

In relationships Pisces men are the ultimate romancers. These are the kind of sensitive men that women will be able to connect in a big way. He will make the ideal partner for the woman who is a strong yet sensitive person. The Piscean woman in a relationship is the ultimate nurturer. She falls in love so deeply that she will lose herself in the relationship. She is soft and charming and very feminine and she needs a man who will love her, protect her and always makes her feel needed. Both Pisces men and women need stable partners who will keep them grounded and in such a relationship, the love will blossom and grow stronger with every passing year.

Pisces is probably the most sensitive of all the signs. The characteristics of Pisces involve mysticism and the spiritual world which most other signs are unable to comprehend. This makes them very good with people as they understand their psyche and are able to gauge a person's motivations.
