Pisces season, from mid-February to mid-March, marks the end of the zodiac calendar and an important time for those who fall under the sign.

For those born duringPiscesseason, this moment presents a fresh start and an invitation to make new habits. “It is a time of celebration,” astrologerAlberto Toribiotells PEOPLE. “It is a time to be reflective, a time to wish and dream about the year ahead of you. A chance to start over and cast a spell for the year ahead. It also marks a moment of change, rewriting where you want to be and go in the year ahead.”

The 12th and final sign of the zodiac, Pisces falls after Aquarius and before Aries. It is one of three Water signs, the others beingCancerandScorpio, which imbues the sign with a sense of emotionality.

Because of their emotional depth, Pisces are often left vulnerable. “It’s important for Pisces to understand how to fortify their emotions and thoughts,” Toribio says. “They are fishes, so they are very exposed. Sometimes people take advantage of it. Knowing how to mask and wield the sea of your emotions tactfully will suit Pisces well in the long run.”

From personality traits to compatibility, here is everything to know about the Pisces zodiac sign.

What are the key personality traits of a Pisces?

Stardust says that the Pisces zodiac sign is “known for its exceptional creativity, imagination and tenderness.”

“They are sea dwellers, viewing the world through their unique lens and appreciating the beauty around them,” she adds. “Pisces are renowned for their empathy and energetic sensitivity, making them exceptionally compassionate towards others.”

Toribio notes that Pisces have an ability to see and understand more than meets the eye.

“Pisces are blessed with a fertile heart to appreciate the world beyond its surface, to imagine a world beyond what we can see and sink into the heart and mind of everything they set their minds into,” he says.

Why is Pisces a mutable sign?

Unlike fixed zodiac signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio andAquarius), which serve as a stabilizing force, Pisces is one of the mutable signs (along withGemini, Virgo andSagittarius).

Mutable signs, Toribio says, are “fluid and adaptable with their energy.”

Scorpio and Pisces Compatibility.

Stardust and Toribio agree that Pisces get along best with their fellow Water signs, Cancer and Scorpio.

Stardust notes that Pisces also often form deep connections with each other and can “help each other attain their innermost visions.”

She adds that Taurus, who “shares their creative senses,” and Capricorn, who “appreciates their imagination and sensitivity,” can also be great matches for Pisces.

In relationships, Pisces tend to see the best in others, Stardust says.

“They are romantic at heart and desire a happy, fairytale-like relationship,” she explains. “However, if things don’t work out as planned, they tend to swim away without looking back, protecting themselves from harm, as they are quite sensitive beings. If you forge a friendship or relationship, they are unconditional and the best cheerleaders.”

Which zodiac signs are least compatible with Pisces?

Toribio says that while Pisces' fluidity and adaptability make them easy for most signs to get along with, some may “have a harder time appreciating their doe-eyed, dreamy and indecisive nature.”

Virgo, he notes, is the opposite of Pisces. Because of Virgo’s logical and detail-oriented nature, Pisces’ carefree, bohemian ways may not align with the Earth sign.

Fiery and truth-seeking Sagittarius also often clashes with Pisces.

She also warns that Pisces may be vulnerable to deception during this time, so it is crucial for them to “rely on their intuition.”
