Finding a compatible sign for a Pisces isn’t a hard task, with their energy and empathy they make great listeners, and it’s easy to have a conversation with them no matter how well you know them. They may come across as introverted sometimes, but it’s usually because they're listening rather than speaking.

They’re ruled by Neptune, which governs dreams, psychic ability and creativeness, which is why Pisces are seen as one of the more psychic of the zodiacs. Pisces want to be there for everyone and will burn themselves out in the process sometimes.
Being a mutable sign, so they like to explore people's feelings and offer advice. Similar to Virgos, they like to help and show guidance to others to fix things. They read situations very well and offer the perfect solution, whether it's a shoulder to cry on or a problem that needs solving.
It’s easy for Pisces to get taken advantage of, due to their kind-hearted and sympathetic nature. They soak up their partner’s feelings like a sponge, which can leave them with heavy burdens through trying to help.

Traits Compatible for Pisces
Certain traits that are represented across lots of different zodiacs are compatible with Pisces, however some are more present than others. Regardless of your zodiac sign, if you show these qualities, then a Pisces partner would be a match for you!
Patience
Pisces don’t purposely try to be difficult, however they can come across as intense or even needy. A partner or a friend that has a lot of patience for feelings and deep talks is an ideal match for a Pisces, someone who can comfort them when needed and isn’t afraid to talk about their feelings. Having dark moments in life is normal, Pisces take on other people’s pain, so having a partner they can confide in means they can recover from these dark moments quicker.
Directness
It may seem like a strange compatibility to pair someone so sensitive with a partner or friend who is direct and straightforward. However, a Pisces can benefit from being around people who don’t feel so intensely and can see the bigger picture to problems.
Being direct doesn’t mean being nasty or rude, if you are direct, but kind with your delivery, then a Pisces will really appreciate it. Some Pisces may find it hard to be direct themselves, so having a direct partner can help push a Pisces to be more straightforward with others in their life. This can push them to be more honest about how they feel in all areas of life, such as work or friendships.
Being Grounded
Pisces are, more often than not, big dreamers with their heads in the clouds. This trait is very alluring to some, as it means you can escape life’s dramas and mishaps easily, however when two people have their heads in the clouds it can be difficult to remain grounded. Making sure one person in a partnership stays in the real world is essential to having a balanced relationship. Having a super serious outlook on life is not what a Pisces would want, but, having someone who is able to pull them into the real world every now and again isn’t a bad thing.
A more practical sign would be the most compatible for a Pisces to help them with life’s challenges. A dreamy Pisces would also help to bring a very grounded, serious sign into the creative clouds and help them to escape more. A perfect, harmonious balance.
Traits Not Compatible with Pisces
Your sign might be one that is considered compatible with a Pisces, however if you show these traits within your personality, it might not be smooth sailing. Just because your star sign is compatible doesn’t mean the rest of your birth chart is. It’s worth knowing that certain traits are moderately compatible, however if the communication isn’t great between partners they could still not work out.
Insensitivity
Pisces are very sensitive creatures, meaning they show empathy and sympathy for most people around them. Even when it’s detrimental to their own well-being. Having an insensitive partner is hard for Pisces signs, they have low compatibility with people who don’t show sympathy to others.
It’s hard for a Pisces to understand why people can’t be sensitive to those around them, so this is a huge turn-off when someone doesn’t read another person's emotions very well.
Perfectionist

They view the world in a very different way to those who need perfection and strive for it. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a perfectionist in your career or family life, however if things go wrong they need to be handled with compassion.
Perfectionists often explode or shut down when they don’t meet certain standards, this reflects with their partners too. A Pisces wants to feel they can make mistakes and be their true selves, a perfectionist sign will not uphold this style of partnership.
Cold with Emotions
Pisces' love a person who can show their true feelings, without playing games or being manipulative. If they find a partner who struggles to show emotions or love in an open way, they will be in trouble. Having an open partner means Pisces can do their favorite thing, listen and sympathize. Pisces are sensitive signs, and they thrive when they can listen to others and help them feel better. If their partner doesn’t show them any emotions or is distant with emotions, Pisces often feel helpless and can overcompensate to make up for their partner's lack of emotions.
