At home, a new budget can get an old dream back up and running.

In love, instead of trying to change someone else, start changing yourself -- and see what happens.

Pisces star sign traits and personality

People who have the water sign Pisces are typically able to immerse themselves into a group very easily and are extremely emotional.

They are said to have a healing quality that can help others but could see you getting lost if it becomes too overwhelming.

To combat this, make sure you have lots of personal time for yourself to restore your energy levels.

Pisceans are very dreamy and creative and are often interested in the arts.

But they often find themselves retreating, and can be sentimental, indecisive and unrealistic.

What signs are Pisces compatible with?

Best matches:

• Scorpio – this match usually works as both have feelings that run deep, and Scorpio will want to be the leader and Pisces loves feeling protected
• Cancer – both signs are extremely compassionate, with Pisces being drawn to Cancer’s need to feel protected
• Capricorn – these signs are polar opposite, with practical Capricorn providing guidance for dreamy Pisces

Worst matches:

• Gemini – this match often doesn’t work out as Gemini’s light-hearted approach can cause hurt to the feeling of those who are Pisces
• Libra – Libra’s need to be social can clash with Pisces who likes alone time, and the sensitivity of Pisces can cause arguments
• Sagittarius – Pisces is sensitive so needs lots of devotion, but independent Sagittarius may not be able to provide this and often has a lack of tact

Where does the Zodiac come from?

The Zodiac is the term used to describe the circle of 12 divisions of celestial longitude that are centred upon the path of the sun.

Throughout history, the zodiac has been used to predict or echo characteristics of personality.
