Pisces Compatibility: Who Is Pisces Compatible With?

In Western astrology, Pisces is rated highest with Cancer and Scorpio (a strong match, 8 of 8 points) and lowest with Gemini and Sagittarius (a challenging match, 1 of 8). The list below ranks all eleven other signs; the same-sign pair is noted under it.

Pisces compatibility here is one sign measured against the other eleven, and every pairing keeps a verdict page of its own. To check Pisces against any other sign, open the sign compatibility calculator. Each row of the list below opens one of those pages. Libra and Pisces, for example, is a match that takes adjustment at 2 of 8 on our scoring, and the full reading lives on Libra and Pisces.

How compatible is Pisces with each zodiac sign?

The two rows at the top are the other water signs, a trine from Pisces. A trine inside one element is the only way a pair reaches 8 points: 5 for the aspect, 2 for the element, 1 for the modality. The two at the bottom, on 1 point, sit a square away, the angle astrologers read as friction. Between them are two sextiles on 5, one opposition on 4, and four signs on 2, where the tradition reads adjustment rather than a clash. What it means stays narrow: three traditional readings added up, not a forecast about anybody.

What is a Pisces' best love match?

The tradition's best match for Pisces is Cancer and Scorpio: a strong match at 8 of 8 points, same element, trine.

Two signs finish level at the top of our scoring for Pisces. The tradition offers no rule that ranks one above the other.

• Cancer, 8 of 8: water with water at the trine, which astrologers call the easiest angle two signs can hold (same element, trine).
• Scorpio, also 8 of 8: the third water sign, the same trine taken the other way round the wheel (same element, trine).
• Taurus, 5 of 8: earth is the element the convention pairs with water, and a sextile reads as friendly rather than automatic (paired elements, sextile).
• Capricorn, also 5 of 8: the second earth sign, scoring on the same two counts (paired elements, sextile).

Water with water and water with earth are the only element pairings that earn points for Pisces. That is why the four best love matches are two water signs and two earth signs.

Who is a bad match for Pisces?

The lowest ratings for Pisces are Gemini and Sagittarius: a challenging match at 1 of 8, unpaired elements, square. A low rating is the tradition's reading of two sun signs, not a fact about two people.

The challenging matches for Pisces arrive as a pair. One angle produces both.

• Gemini, 1 of 8: two mutable signs whose elements are not paired, three signs apart, which is the square (unpaired elements, square).
• Sagittarius, also 1 of 8, the same square measured from the other side (unpaired elements, square).
• Virgo scores above both on 4 of 8, an opposition rather than a square, and sits in the middle of the table.

Gemini, Sagittarius and Virgo are the three other mutable signs. Two mutable signs together give up the modality point, which is why Pisces's own modality fills the lower half of its list. A low rating is a reading about ease, never a judgement on a person. It comes out the same whichever of the pair is the Pisces.

Who is the best match for a Pisces woman?

The ranking holds for a Pisces woman, with Cancer and Scorpio at the top, because our scoring compares two signs and reads nothing else. Gender is not an input. The question changes only the emphasis. Pisces is the mutable sign of the water trio, the one the tradition reads as taking the shape of whatever it is poured into. That reading fits a Pisces woman as it fits any Pisces.

Who is the best match for a Pisces man?

The ranking holds for a Pisces man too, and Cancer and Scorpio lead it for the same reason. The angle to add here is the ruler. Pisces is ruled by Neptune, traditionally by Jupiter, one of three signs the tradition gives two rulers, because Neptune was only discovered in 1846. Jupiter still rules Sagittarius, which sits at the bottom of this table, so a shared ruler colours a reading and scores nothing at all.

How is Pisces in love, friendship and marriage?

The three readings work from the same eleven scores. The tradition uses the element for temperament, the aspect for how easy the angle is, and the modality for pace, which is the measure it trusts over years.

What does Pisces need in love?

Pisces needs gentleness and room to feel, in the tradition's reading, because Pisces is a water sign, mutable by mode, ruled by Neptune and traditionally by Jupiter. Water is read for empathy, mutable for adapting, Neptune for imagination and Jupiter for expansion. Those facts are what the scoring compares, so they stand behind the whole ranking rather than beside it.

Which signs are the best friends for Pisces?

Cancer and Scorpio keep the easiest company with Pisces, and Taurus and Capricorn follow them.

• Cancer reads a mood the same way, because both signs are water (trine).
• Scorpio completes the water trio, reached by the same trine from the far side (trine).
• Taurus and Capricorn bring earth, the element paired with water, and their sextile reads as friendly (sextile).

How signs make friends in general is a wider question than one sign hub answers.

Who do Pisces usually marry?

The tradition names Cancer and Scorpio first, then Taurus and Capricorn, which is the order the scoring already gives. Over a long marriage astrologers weigh modality above element, because modality describes pace rather than temperament. Pisces is mutable, so a cardinal or a fixed partner takes the modality point and another mutable sign does not. Love compatibility read this way is a comment on two styles, never a claim about anybody's marriage, and no page here can tell anyone who to marry.

The date range above is the one most calendars use rather than a hard boundary. The Sun's entry into a sign moves by up to a day with the year and the time zone. A birthday on either edge can belong to the sign next door. Every sign has a best and a worst match in the tradition. The ranking for all twelve at once sits in which signs are soulmates. Pisces compatibility, as this page scores it, goes no further than the sun sign.
