Pisces traits: One of the most tolerant signs in the zodiac, this water sign is highly intuitive and compassionate. Pisces can be selfless to the point of martyrdom, and they have an affinity for all things water. They make excellent partners and friends, always providing a listening ear and unconditional love. These traits mean they need to be mindful not to absorb and take on the emotions of those around them, which can lead to depression and anxiety.
While they are gentle and wise, they don't take well to criticism, even if it's constructive. If you're a Pisces, take care to advocate for yourself, because your needs matter, too.
