Highly sensitive and empathetic, Pisceans can often lose themselves in other people or issues. They don’t know where they start and someone else begins, and there can be a tendency to become co-dependent in their relationships. Some Pisceans take the soft option of living through their loved ones, rather than finding out who they are and what they want to do with their life. Fading into the life of another person or finding their identity through a group or career means that they don’t fulfill their true potential.

Commitment can also be an issue for Pisceans. Their panoramic ability to see all sides of a situation and awareness of all the different choices out there means that they can constantly sit on the fence, making no decisions and doing nothing at all or, like a slippery fish, making themselves impossible to pin down. They can also come across as indecisive and ineffective, promising much but delivering little. Often lacking firm boundaries and the ability to structure and manage their time effectively, they can quickly earn a reputation for being unreliable. In addition, their high sensitivity means that they can slip into the role of victim, and any kind of criticism or boundary-setting can make them feel incredibly negative and insecure. Their confidence can be easily knocked sideways and, instead of learning how to deal with rejection or criticism in a positive way, they may try to numb their feelings through addictive behavior.

The moods of Pisceans are often changeable and sometimes these shifts can go from one wild extreme to another. Other people can have a hard time trying to understand where they are coming from and may feel that they have to walk on egg shells around them in case they upset them. Also, Pisceans can end up resorting to lying or manipulation to avoid being blamed for anything. As they belong to the most impressionable and gullible sign of the zodiac, they can attract toxic people or energy vampires into their lives who don’t have their best interests at heart. They can believe in and trust anyone and anything except themselves, and this lack of self-belief is often their biggest roadblock to achieving success and happiness in life.
