4 Zodiac Signs That Make The Best Pisces Soulmates

Ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreamers and artists, Pisces has a heart as big as the sky and an imagination that spans the galaxy. Love is their ultimate goal. They could survive longer without food, water, and even air than they could without loving someone or feeling loved. They fall in love quickly and deeply, and they will cling onto it long after it’s gone sour. It’s ironic that the very fact they place too much hope in other people that makes them such “hopeless” romantics.

Pisces’s feelings are intense and yet at the same time fragile. More than any other sign, they are prone to heartbreak. Because they aim to please, they seek to rescue others from loneliness and feeling unloved, and they often do it at their own expense. Although their urge to put others before themselves is motivated by kindness, they need to learn how to say “no” to others and be kind to themselves for a change.

Pisces are also generous—perhaps too much for their own good. Because they see the best in other people, even when no others can see it, they often wind up getting the worst of it in romantic relationships.

Here are the four zodiac signs who are best equipped to navigate the stormy seas of Pisces’s heart and steer them into a calm and tranquil tropical cove.

1. Taurus

On the surface, a Bull and a Fish doesn’t sound like a great pair, but once you scratch beneath the surface, you uncover the magic that makes Taurus and Pisces work so well together. A stubborn and steadfast Earth sign, Taurus will be the rock that Pisces needs. Shelter from the storm. Taurus manages to be both practical and romantic—a rare combination of traits. Strong and dependable, Taurus can wake up Pisces if they oversleep and get a little bit too lost in their dreams. They can mentor Pisces and guide them into still waters. They can also teach Pisces to be a little less self-sacrificing and a little more self-interested. Pisces will seem mystical and alluring to Taurus, while the Bull will bring the much-needed stability and grounding that the overly dreamy Pisces both needs and craves.

2. Virgo

Another Earth sign just like Taurus, Virgo is much more organized, grounded, practical, sober, and detail-oriented than Pisces, who can be a little…how shall I say this?…improvisational at times. Let’s face it: Pisces can be downright flaky. Virgo can give order and structure to Pisces without being bossy or overbearing. Both Virgo and Pisces are mutable modalities, meaning they can roll with the changes and go with the flow. They are both generous, kind, and empathic. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet that governs communication and analytical skills, so if Pisces needs a little bit of a talking-to in order to get their act together, Virgo can wrap the bitter pill in a nice sugar coating so that it all goes down easy. 

3. Cancer

Whereas Taurus and Virgo can click with Pisces according to the unwritten law of “opposites attract” or even “strange bedfellows,” both Cancer and Scorpio are water signs just like Pisces, so in these cases, it’s more a matter of “like seeks like.” If you thought Pisces was the most emotional sign in the zodiac, you’ve obviously never met a Cancer. Ruled by the moon rather than a planet, Cancer is attuned to the unconscious, to deep primal needs, and is especially in touch with maternal instincts that makes them highly caring and protective. Deeply intuitive, they will create a telepathic link with Pisces that makes them able to communicate without saying a word. Together they will create a safe and beautiful little world that is sealed off from all the noise, filth, and hate that sully modern life.

4. Scorpio

There are no other dancing partners in the zodiac who can create such electricity and passion than when you combine the darkly charismatic Scorpio and the bleeding-with-love-from-all-pores Pisces. Whereas the mutable Pisces has their head stuck in the clouds and is prone to crying even if the sun is shining a little too brightly or if a kitten meows a little too meekly, Scorpio is a fixed modality who is ruled by Mars, the planet of aggression and conflict. Combined, it can make for a lusty and thrilling relationship that never gets dull. The only potential danger spot is that Scorpio can be possessive and accusatory, while Pisces can be insecure and self-denying. To remedy this, Pisces needs to stand up for themselves every once in a while, whereas Scorpio needs to learn how to stand down and go easy on their soft-hearted lover.
