Pisces in love: Pisces loves tenderly, romantically, and almost without limit. Empathetic and devoted, they merge deeply with a partner — and need someone grounding who won't take advantage of their open heart.
Water signs read love as felt safety, which the other water signs and the earth signs provide, and the detached air signs often do not. As a mutable sign it adapts and drifts, so the tension is with the other mutable signs, where nobody holds the line.
The tradition usually names Cancer (3rd), Scorpio (4th), Taurus (2nd), Capricorn (1st) as Pisces's classic matches and Gemini (9th), Sagittarius (12th) as the difficult ones. On our scale, which scores element, modality and opposition rather than reputation, the two mostly agree, which is what you would expect when the tradition and the arithmetic are both reading the same elements.
Best match on our scale is Capricorn at 92/100; the pairing that asks the most of both people is Sagittarius at 43/100. A low score is a translation problem, not a verdict: plenty of the hardest pairings on this list are also the ones people describe as the most alive.
Pisces with every sign, best to worst
How to read these scores
Element, modality and opposition, weighed the way the elements and modalities page explains. What a Sun-sign score cannot see is a birth chart, so treat it as the opening read and run the synastry calculator with both charts for the real thing.
Pisces's element-mates are Cancer and Scorpio, and their hubs are the natural next read. The whole grid is on the zodiac compatibility page.
