Personality
History
Neptune is the God of the Sea. According to the Ancient Greeks, the symbol for Neptune is two fishes, Aphrodite and her son Eros. They lept into the sea to avoid Typhon, hence why they are seen intertwined. With this symbol and history, Pisces live in two worlds: reality and dream. It is in a Pisces nature to run away from monsters or conflict, though they also possess the ability to change to avoid being hurt. Also like a fish, Pisces can get entangled in a net of problems.
Day to Day
Pisces are the old soul of the zodiac signs and are ruled by the subconscious. They have incredibly strong gut reactions. This is an extremely compassionate sign that is always full of emotions. They have an almost psychic ability and their gut feelings are almost always right. This fish struggles, however, with actually following their gut all the time. This is a zodiac sign that absorbs and reflects the feelings of everyone they come in contact with. They have an inability to reject others because they do not want to hurt feelings. In fact, helping others makes them feel good. For the Pisces though, this can be their undoing as with these traits comes a gullible and addictive personality.
The Pisces zodiac sign is governed by duality, the struggle of the spiritual soul with the physical body. This sign has an eternal struggle to use power for positive, as they always have an inner conflict between their emotions. This allows them to be deeply creative and artistic. It also means this fish is the most impressionable of the signs. This enables them to adapt well, as they are gentle, patient, and learn from absorption. If a Pisces has their way, what they do would not be crucial. In other words, they do not like having everything ride on what they do. Pisces keep their head in the clouds, and can get upset when reality bursts their bubble.
Pisces likes adventures and new situations, as well as social events. They are often molded by their surroundings due to the Pisces traits of sensitivity and intuitiveness. They are one of the most empathetic signs in the zodiac. This leaves them prone to depression and dependency. This can lead to being overwhelmed in crowds or overstimulating environments. Though Pisces zodiacs can be hard to pin down, even they need to find a place they can experience downtime. Otherwise they will bring themselves down through over indulgence and a knack for poor company.
This zodiac sign values human relationships above all else, though they love solitude. It is the two sides of the fish; an internal and external self that likes both social crowds and solo time. Their request for space must be respected. Due to their openness to others, this sign can be easily swayed by anyone who can make them understand. They are introspective, shy, and vulnerable. They prefer to be the natural observers, sitting on the sidelines. Though this sign is fragile, they also possess an inner strength and understanding of the world. They are always worried about not being good enough. They are very friendly, resulting in being surrounded by an eclectic group of people.
Pisces often live in their own dream world, and struggle to make sense of the real one. This dreamer behavior results in spaciness, forgetfulness, and lack of follow through. For this reason, if they need to complete a project, they will need support. They will spend more time imagining what could happen, with an unending eternal optimism. This means that when a situation they have imagined actually comes to pass it is inevitably not the way they pictured it and Pisces will find themselves drowning in disillusionment and confusion. Pisces must be careful, their emotions can easily become their downfall. They can easily spend too much time in their heads. They must take care to work at living in the world.

Pisces, as the last sign, have absorbed all the wisdom, knowledge, pain, and joy of the other signs. This creates a deeply psychic emotional profile thus resulting in extremely spiritual sex.
