Pisces personality

Pisces begins at Rain Water, 330° of solar longitude. The West calls it a water sign, and in BaZi the Pig branch is the wide night sea, so both traditions point to the same water. You feel other people's moods as if they were your own, and your artistic sense is rich. Your boundaries are soft, so you blend in anywhere.

Pisces in love

Devoted and romantic. You can lose yourself fitting around a partner, so say clearly what you want too.

Pisces at work

Art, music, counseling, health care and volunteering suit you: work that needs sensitivity and care.

What Pisces should watch

Real-world plans can go blurry. The Pig branch is brim-full of water, so when a mood starts to carry you off, hold on to one plan written in numbers.

Pisces: Day Pillars sitting on 亥 (Pig) (5)

The day branch is the same branch this sign is paired with, so both traditions point to the same animal.

Pisces: Day Pillars in the same Three Harmony (10)

The day branch belongs to the same Three Harmony as Pisces: Wood frame 亥卯未 (Pig, Rabbit, Goat). They face the same direction.

Pisces: Day Pillars in Six Harmony (5)

The day branch forms a Six Harmony with 亥. Each fills in what the other lacks.

Pisces: Day Pillars in Clash (5)

The day branch clashes with 亥, sitting directly opposite it. Outer style and inner pace pull in different directions.

Find my sign and Day Pillar

Your sign is set by the 30° stretch of ecliptic longitude the Sun was crossing at your birth. The cusps (the mid-month solar terms such as the spring equinox) shift by about a day from year to year, so if you were born on a cusp day, add your birth time too. The sign-to-branch pairing follows the names in the traditional Chinese table of twelve stations, whose boundaries sit about 15° off the Western signs. Read it for fun.
