The best soulmate signs for Pisces

Pisces and Cancer
Both are gentle, intuitive and caring. This is the classic tender match, with each sensing what the other needs.
Pisces and Scorpio
Scorpio brings intensity and protection and Pisces brings empathy and imagination. Tradition reads this as a deep, almost wordless bond.
Pisces with Taurus or Capricorn

Pisces and Virgo, the opposite sign
Virgo brings order and Pisces brings imagination. Each softens the other, which makes this one of the gentler opposite pairs.

The hardest matches for Pisces

All three are mutable signs, so each approaches life the same way while wanting different things. Leo and Libra, five signs away, share neither an element nor a quality with Pisces.

What a sun sign cannot tell you
Your sun sign is one factor in astrology. A full birth chart also has a moon sign, a rising sign and the positions of Venus and Mars, and those need your exact birth time and place. There is no scientific evidence that star signs predict how a relationship will go, so treat these matches as entertainment and as a prompt for thinking about what you want in a partner.
