Pisces

The twelfth and last of the zodiac signs, the sun is in Pisces sometime between February 18 to March 20. People born under the Pisces zodiac sign are deeply empathetic, highly intuitive, and emotionally sensitive. Friendly, flexible, and generous, Pisces makes great companions and partners. Being the most spiritually connected of the zodiac signs, Pisces is into all things psychic and mystical, including the use of crystals.

Mutable Pisces is adaptable and flexible. Pisces individuals are often more comfortable going with the flow, like fish in water. Many Pisces individuals I’ve met understand the complexities of the human experience and the universe as a whole, being more in tune with their spirituality than most. As such, they are extremely compassionate and would love nothing more than to be of service to others.

They also have a keen perception of things that are beyond most people’s notice. For Pisces natives, the material and the immaterial are two sides of the same coin, and harmony is the only way to find balance in it all. Pisces crystals can help them achieve this ultimate goal.

While there may be a lot of crystals the highly spiritual Pisces could use, some are more effective than others. However, choosing a crystal that resonates with the Pisces energy is just the first step: knowing how to use it to your advantage is another.

This post isn’t just for Pisces sun sign individuals, but also for anyone who has Pisces in their birth chart, particularly the moon, ascendant, and stellium. If you’re reading this sometime in February, you can also use these zodiac crystals to prepare for the Pisces season.

If all the zodiac signs are a bunch of siblings, Pisces is generally regarded as the eldest. It may come as a surprise to anyone who has just begun studying astrology. Why is the last of the zodiac signs the oldest? Shouldn’t it be Aries, the first sign in the zodiac cycle?

The truth is, the very placement of Pisces makes it the oldest of the bunch as it had accumulated all the lessons of each previous “incarnation” (i.e., zodiac sign), gaining wisdom in the process.

Occurring between February 18 to March 20, Pisces stands perfectly at the threshold of winter and spring. As such, Pisces has received the monickers “The Dustbin of the Zodiac” and “The Dying God”, signifying its crucial role at the end of the zodiac cycle–a time of contemplation and repose, in preparation for one’s eventual rebirth.

Wise and compassionate Pisces is ruled by the planets Jupiter and Neptune, the latter more so than the former. As you may know, planet Neptune is the planet of dreams, intuition, and spirituality, which makes it unsurprising for Pisces to be psychically gifted.

Pisces is one of the three water signs, the other being Cancer and Scorpio. It’s also the mutable sign of the group. Symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, Pisces often dip in and out of reality, often lost in thought but ready to help others at a moment’s notice.

Pisces is one of the most loveable zodiac signs out there, not just for their ultra-creative minds, but also for their sensitive and selfless nature. However, just as one fish swims on the shallows where light can still reach it, the other does so in the murky depths. Pisces can be self-pitying and insecure people who like to play their victim card, often being the cause of their own emotional turmoil.

Here are the strengths and weaknesses of a Pisces:

Strengths

• Creative and Imaginative

  Pisces’ boundless imagination and creativity make them natural-born artists. They like to dive deep into their rich inner world for inspiration and think outside the box to get new ideas for their project.

• Emotional and Sensitive

  Known for their emotional and sensitive nature, Pisces is one of the most compassionate zodiac signs. They are warm, affectionate individuals who doesn’t like to get on anyone’s bad side. Pisceans choose their words carefully and listen attentively to others without judgment.

• Generous and Empathetic

  Need a shoulder to cry on? Pisceans will be there for you if you need a hug or two. They are caring and empathetic people who see the good in everyone, even in people who don’t seem to see it in themselves.

• Romantic

  Perhaps due to their sensitive nature and creative spirit, Pisceans are romantic at heart. Affectionate, caring, and selfless, Pisces natives would do everything for their loved ones. Add to that their natural talent for poetry and arts, they can make everything magical.

• Intuitive and Psychic

  Compared to other zodiac signs, Pisces individuals are keen and perceptive people who can read things beyond the surface. They know how to read people and can feel other’s emotions.

• Highly Spiritual

  As a zodiac sign ruled by planet Neptune, Pisces are instinctively drawn to the mystical. For this reason, Pisceans are also regarded as healers, not just the physical but emotional and spiritual as well.

• Adaptable and Sociable

  Like its element, Pisces prefers to flow with the current. They quickly adapt to change and adjust to new situations or people when needed. While Pisceans value their alone time, they still like to bond with their loved ones.

Weaknesses

• Overly Trusting

  Pisces natives are kind to everyone, so much so that they tend to be too trusting. Unfortunately, some people view their gentle and sympathetic personality as a way to take advantage of them. They are also quick to forgive, but not without a sincere apology from the offender.

• Emotionally Unstable

  Like how the sea can be calm one hour and raging in the next, Pisces can be a little too sensitive and moody. Pisceans feel emotions strongly, so strongly that when they get shaken by intense feelings like anger and grief, they may be inaccessible for a while.

• Melancholic and Passive

  Pisceans’ empathetic and compassionate nature can sometimes be their downfall. They take in other people’s emotions like a sponge, soaking up negative energy in the process. They also find it hard to establish and maintain clear boundaries.

• Self-pitying

  One thing that Pisces needs to work on themselves is their tendency to self-pity. True, they are caring and selfless, but if they start to feel used or unwanted, they could start to wallow in negative emotions.

• Escapist

  Pisces aren’t called the “dreamers of the zodiac” for nothing. Often idealistic, a Pisces individual sees the world in rose-tinted glasses. If things don’t go the way they hoped it would, Pisceans would prefer to retreat into their self-constructed delusion than face facts.

• People-Pleasing Tendencies

  Not one who’s good at setting boundaries, Pisceans crave validation from everyone around them even if it compromises their own happiness. As such, they tend to attract the wrong people and find it hard to decide for themselves.

• Addictions

  Pisceans may turn to overindulgence and addiction when the going gets tough. Some may turn to arts and devote an unhealthy amount of time to it. Others could turn to alcohol and substance abuse.

Pisceans need healing crystals that help them stay grounded, balanced, and stable.

With a lot of good qualities and talents, Pisceans struggle to keep their emotions and imagination in check. As such, it’s important to find the right Pisces stone that resonates with their energy and enhances their positive qualities.

Find crystals that promote grounding, emotional healing, and healthy self-expression. Stones that enhance creativity, bring calm, and boost spirituality are also great to work with.

When balancing chakras, Pisces should work on:

• Third Eye Chakra

• Throat Chakra

• Root Chakra

It’s important to know first what your needs are so you can set an intention.

If you’re a Pisces, tap into your inner knowing to find out which crystals speak to you. Now, if you are curiously drawn to a crystal that doesn’t seem to provide the kind of benefits you think you need, I suggest picking up that crystal anyway.

That is your intuition telling you you may need that crystal. All you have to do is to find out your why.

How to Use Pisces Crystals

There are plenty of ways you can use a Pisces gemstone:

• Meditation

  Meditate with a Pisces crystal daily or whenever you need a positivity boost and grounding energy.

• Jewelry

  Wearing a Pisces crystal allows for constant connection with its healing energy. Alternatively, you can carry one in your purse.

• Decor

  Place Pisces crystals in your workroom, office, or sacred space to keep the energy around you in a state of harmony.

  Place a Pisces crystal on your bedside or under the pillow to promote lucid dreams and protect you from harmful entities.

Conclusion

Pisceans are loved for their kind and generous nature, however, being the emotional sponge of everyone could drain them quickly. As such, they can benefit from having crystals to support them.

If you aren’t sure which crystal to get, you can start first by getting either an Amethyst or Aquamarine, depending on your birth month. Or, you could get both!
