| Pisces in Chinese Zodiac |
|
The Chinese Zodiac, known as Shengxiao, is based on a twelve-year cycle, with each year related to an animal sign. However, Pisces is not an animal in the Chinese Zodiac; it is a sign from the Western Zodiac, which is based on the constellations. The equivalent of Pisces in terms of the Chinese Zodiac would be the Rabbit (Hare) or the Goat (Sheep), depending on the year. The Rabbit is known for its gentleness and the Goat for its creativity and peacefulness, which can be seen as similar to the Piscean traits of empathy and imagination.

| Myths and Folktales |
In Western astrology, Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions. One myth associated with Pisces involves Aphrodite and Eros who transformed into fish to escape the monster Typhon. Another tale tells of two fish that carried Aphrodite and Eros to safety, hence the symbol of two fish tied together, yet swimming in opposite directions, representing the duality of life and the Piscean ability to navigate complex emotional waters.

Weaknesses: Fearful, overly trusting, sad, desire to escape reality, can be a victim or a martyr. Pisces can struggle with setting boundaries and may become overwhelmed by their emotions.

| Motivations |
Pisces are motivated by their need for emotional connection and artistic expression. They seek to understand others and the world around them on a deep, emotional level. Their desire to help and heal can drive their actions, often leading them to careers in the arts or healing professions.

| Compatibility with Other Signs |
Pisces is most compatible with the other water signs, Cancer and Scorpio, as they share the same emotional language. Earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn can also be good matches, providing the grounding that Pisces often needs. Challenges may arise with fire and air signs, who may be too impulsive or rational for the sensitive Pisces.

| Romantic Relationships |
In romantic relationships, Pisces seeks a partner who understands their depth of feeling and can provide stability and support. They are generous and loving partners who value deep emotional connections. They tend to be idealistic and can sometimes have unrealistic expectations of love, which can lead to disappointment if not tempered with reality.
|
| Friendship Bonds |
Pisces forms bonds with others through shared emotional experiences and artistic interests. They are loyal and caring friends who will go out of their way to support those they care about. However, they need friends who can respect their need for alone time and who can provide a listening ear without judgment.
