Pisces Symbols You Never Knew!

Are you looking for Pisces symbols? Have you always been under the impression that Pisces just has one symbol? You know the one I’m talking about, right? The two fish swirling around one another. While it’s true fish are the primary symbol for this zodiac sign, it’s not the only one. 

Believe it or not there are 12 Pisces symbols in total that are linked to this powerful, mysterious and empathic astrology symbol. 

You read this right – there are 12 symbols connected to Pisces. Now before continuing, I’m going to be straight up with you about everything that follows. On the web, you are going to read a lot of information about Pisces that has been offered by people who claim to be “psychics” and “readers”.

Sadly, much of what they present is presented with a bunch of flowery language that isn’t based on science or astrology. 

Their hope is to get you just interested enough in learning more about Pisces symbols to pick up the phone and call them for a reading. Folks, what you see here is offered for pure enlightenment.

Below you will find a chart of the 12 Pisces Zodiac symbols. Later in this article, a detailed breakdown of each symbol, including characteristics and prominent gender that expresses the associated traits appear. 

12 Pisces Symbols

Pisces Sign Symbols Background

Just to be clear, I am not astrologer Therefore, you don’t have to worry about a hidden motive on my part. What you see on the Pisces symbols below is based on hard science, coupled with teachings from the ancients. 

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been intrigued by zodiac studies. To this day, I’m not sure why this subject area attracts me. I like to think it’s because a good part of astrology is connected to psycho-spirituality; a blending of psychology and spiritualism.

In the final analysis, it doesn’t really matter. Years ago, I accepted the fact that each of us have parts of our personality that we may not fully understand.  

In any event, if you have an open mind, this Pisces focused article is for you!

Pisces Symbols Zodiac Info

Pisces is considered the 12^th House of the Zodiac, which happens to be the same house that all things hidden reside. Each house has its own symbol, giving Pisces 12 – more than any other sign of the Zodiac.

It is estimated that only 5.2% of the world’s population is born under this sign, making Pisces very rare – the rarest in fact on the planet.

What follows is a detailed breakdown of each Pisces symbol, with a bit of information about listed underneath that you may not know about. The material you will read here has been fused with spiritual lessons from the ancients, using Spirit Animal Guides to highlight important characteristics.

At the end of this post, I have published a poll that lets you select which Pisces sign symbol best represents your true personality.

Quick disclosure: I am a water sign just like Pisces, but I was born under the Scorpio Sign. More will be shared about what it means to be a water sign in just a bit. I am disclosing this information with you now because you have a right to know the Zodiac sign of the person authoring this material.

Pisces Water Sign

Water signs are among the most mysterious, complex and psychic of the 12 Zodiac signs. There are only three water signs: 1) Pisces, 2) Cancer and 3) Scorpio. Generally speaking, water signs are highly intuitive, very empathic and like it or not, often emotional. While water signs often share similar characteristics, Pisces has its own unique abilities than its Cancer and Scorpio counterparts.

There is a reason the primary symbol of Pisces is two fish. In most depictions, you will see one fish swimming upwards, representing the sky and one fish swimming downward, representing the sea. This is significant because Pisces born people are often torn between the words of intellectual thought and deep (very deep) emotions.

You need to know now that most all individuals born under the Pisces sign are highly empathic. For reasons we do not fully understand, they are able to literally pick up on the emotions of others and do so freakishly.

I am not saying that Pisces are “better” than other signs or more powerful. I am saying this sign has certain gifts that allow Pisces to tap into the emotions and feelings of others. While that may sound wonderful, it can actually be a blessing and a curse. I will speak to more on this in a bit.

Pisces Sign Explained

The Pisces sign is jointly ruled by Jupiter and Neptune. For simplicity sake, Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and Neptune the furthest from the sun.

The combination of these two celestial bodies gives Pisces unique powers that manifests in the form of psychic abilities. Both of these planets are considered gas giants, with Neptune representing an end to reality and the start of a new dimension.

Jupiter’s influence represents deep thought and intelligence, firmly grounded in the here and now in the third dimension.  

It is the enormously strong gravitational pull from both of these colossal gas giants that gives the Pisces sign its empathic abilities. The constant gravitational battle that Jupiter and Neptune engage in with one another creates a kind of quantum field that transcends time and space.

Pisces Sign Cosmic Wave

Those who are born between mid-February to mid-March are caught up in what called a “Piscean Wave” generated by the competing kinetic energies of the two gas giants.

Pisces sign people literally stand in the middle of this wave, surfing a cosmic sea that is bifurcated between the Fourth Dimension (a fantasy world) and the Third Dimension (the here and now). Most all Pisces struggle with maintaining balance, constantly moving in and out of both dimensions.

Pisces signs are blessed with psychic/empathic abilities because of this wave. Much like the Jovian System’s ability to pull in anything that passes through it because of its gravitational pull, Pisces signs are able to absorb the emotions of others.

And Neptune’s positively charged ions launch Pisces into that Fourth dimension we explored earlier – which empowers them to empathically “tune into” what others (including animals) are feeling.

4) Horse

Horses have always held a mythical quality about them. For Pisces, a horse allows the sign to gallop into the fantasy world that is part of the fourth dimension – transforming into a unicorn.

5) Seal

6) Dog

Pisces signs are very loyal, much like dogs are to their masters. Dogs can also be empathic, much like the Pisces sign.

Pisces Sign Myths

Bear in mind that the myths listed below are just a sampling of the many misnomers that are associated with Pisces.

• All Pisces are good swimmers
• Pisces are bad in bed
• Pisces men are always romantic
• Pisces women are always submissive
• Pisces makes for bad business leaders
• Pisces sign people are narcissistic
• Pisces signs are not a good match for any sign.
• Pisces are overly submissive sexually

Pisces Compatibility

According to a number of astrological reports, coupled with material shared from the ancients, Pisces signs are most compatible with:

• Scorpio
• Cancer
• Taurus

Ideally, Pisces and Scorpio will be in a relationship because the two are highly compatible. The reason relates to both signs ability to perfectly understand one another. Scorpio is a fixed sign, which helps to ground Pisces.

Cancers are the next best match for Pisces because of the emotional bond the two signs share. Because Cancers are a cardinal sign, they have the power to create emotional shifts in Pisces, which rescues them from battles with lifelong depression.

Taurus is the third “best” sign for Pisces. Like Scorpio, Taurus is a fixed sign – meaning grounded in the here and now. Taurus helps Pisces break free of its lazy streak because simply put, Taurus is ridiculously fixated on task completion.
