The sky: The Moon is a thin waxing crescent in Sagittarius, two days after the November 9 New Moon in Scorpio. Mercury and Venus are both retrograde; Mercury turns direct on November 13 and Venus a few hours later. Mars and Jupiter are drawing together in Leo, less than two degrees apart.
With the Moon at the top of your chart, people notice your work today, so show it. Retrograde Mercury in your ninth house has made travel or study plans foggy for a few weeks. That lifts on Friday. Until then, stick to what you can finish by tonight and leave the bigger vision on the whiteboard.
Crystal of the day: Aquamarine
Aquamarine is the March birthstone and, in old sailors' lore, a stone for calm seas. Its water blue suits a Pisces day spent in public view.
Aquamarine: blue to greenish blue beryl, Mohs 7.5 to 8. Crystal meanings are traditional beliefs, shared for reflection and fun.

Pisces closes the zodiac and northern winter. Mutable and watery, it is pictured as water without banks, flowing in every direction at once.
The Pisces temperament
The two fish are tied together but swim different ways, and the Pisces sketch carries that sense of being pulled between worlds: imaginative, compassionate, intuitive, artistic and easily moved. Jupiter brings generosity, and Neptune, its modern co-ruler, is associated with dreams, art and the hard-to-define.
The strengths are empathy, creativity, kindness and a gift for understanding without words. The blind spots are escapism, difficulty with boundaries and a habit of drifting rather than deciding.
A Pisces Sun with a Capricorn Moon or Aries rising may be much more decisive than the fish suggest. Find out in the birth chart calculator.
Pisces in love and friendship
Water signs Cancer and Scorpio are said to share Pisces's emotional depth, and earth signs Taurus and Capricorn give it a safe shore. Traditional readings describe these as caring, protective pairings.
Gemini and Sagittarius, fellow mutable signs, can be magical or confusing: lots of feeling and imagination, not always much follow-through. Fire and air signs in general may find Pisces hard to pin down.
Virgo, the opposite sign, brings practical care to Pisces's imagination. Each covers what the other overlooks. Compare any pair in the compatibility calculator.
Pisces at work and play
The archetype is linked with art, music, film, care work, healing professions, spiritual work and anything that involves the imagination. The traditional advice: protect your energy, and give dreams a schedule.
For fun: the ocean or a swimming pool, music, painting, a long film, a quiet day with no plans at all.
Stones traditionally linked with Pisces
- Aquamarine, sea-blue beryl, and bloodstone, green chalcedony with red spots, are the March birthstones.
- Amethyst, the February birthstone, belongs to early-season Pisces and appears on most Pisces lists.
- Some lists also name moonstone or jade.

Why your dates might differ
In 2025 the Sun entered Pisces on February 18 at 10:06 UT; in 2027 it will be February 18 at 21:33 UT. If you were born on February 18, 19 or 20, or March 20 or 21, check your Sun sign with the birth chart calculator.
A small keepsake
If you like a physical reminder of your sign, a few tumbled aquamarine stones are an easy place to begin, and amethyst works just as well if it appeals more. Pale blue glass is often sold under gem names, so choose listings that name the mineral and say whether it is dyed or treated. You might keep a dream journal kept by the bed next to the stone as well, for the most dreamy sign. Neither is needed to enjoy your horoscope.
Common questions
What are the Pisces dates?
Usually February 19 to March 20. In 2026 the Sun entered Pisces on February 18 at 15:51 UT and left for Aries at the March equinox on March 20 at 14:45 UT.
Why do Pisces readings talk about endings?
Pisces is the last of the twelve signs, so astrologers often link it with endings, letting go and the space just before a new cycle starts in Aries.
