Welcome to Zodiac Oracle’s special series of Risings Breakdowns. You don’t know yet what’s your rising sign. Well, rush to astroseek.com and put your birth date there, as well as your birthplace, then come back here and read everything about yours!
Out of all the signs in the zodiac, we can all agree that one stands out of the crowd: Pisces. As the 12th zodiac sign (yes, we decided to start the series with the 12th one), Pisces symbolizes completion, and I would also argue that means that Pisces placements are simply perfect.
You know everything about Pisces Sun signs (which is basically your “main” zodiac sign, for beginners), but some of those things are especially true for Pisces Risings. So let’s talk more about it!
What does your Rising sign tell you?
Well, unlike your Sun sign, which is automatically determined by your birthday, your Rising sign is determined by the time you were born. To be more specific, it depends on which zodiac sign was on the eastern horizon when you were born.
It also changes every two-ish hours, which is exactly why it’s so crucial to know your birth time. You can, for example, be an Aries Sun and Pisces Rising, or a Scorpio Sun and Pisces Rising.
You get the point. Your Rising sign plays a huge role in shaping and defining your attitude, appearance, and the first impression you make.

Pisces rising’s personality traits
Pisces placements aren’t complete strangers to the concept of maintaining their patience. They take plenty of time to get through whatever it is that they actually do.
Often well-meant, these small fishes somehow mastered the capacity to hold space where needed, as well as to retreat if called to. As a water sign and a mutable sign, Pisces is more often than not very hard to read.
To get a much better understanding of what it actually feels like to live in their world, just imagine that you are able to feel all your senses (especially your sixth sense).
You are also submerged in a deep, underwater world, and you find it hard to speak, but you can breathe. Your motions might be limited, but you are making the right moves.
Out of all the rising signs, Pisces Rising are most likely to live in a world where they often get stuck in their own minds. They can be very hard on themselves (and all the overthinking certainly doesn’t help), but as soon as they are able to put words to feelings, just watch out!
Pisces rising appearance
At times, Pisces can act as the zodiac’s mermaid. Moreover, Pisces Risings often have something quite otherworldly about their appearance.
They just seem like they belong in this beautiful fairytale. To be more specific, they are well-known for their large, dreamy eyes. They are also considered to have round or heart-shaped faces and soft features. When they’re in motion, they are especially graceful.
Pisces Rising’s mindset
Pisces Risings admits that the world is not exactly what it’s cracked up to be. They are no strangers to injustice, especially from a young age.
Their experiences often teach them when it’s time to pull back, take some breaks, or even disengage from a particular person or activity.
Pisces Risings also possess this light aura and carry a pocket full of magic dust in their back pocket. The world can turn to be difficult at times, but Pisces Risings knows how to tap into their creative joy and help others rise above.
Since they enter the world with this unspoken wisdom, it’s very easy to feel comfortable with someone who has a Pisces rising.
Such people have lived a life that really requires a lot of thought, and often they end up dealing with experiences that are way more than meets the eye.
Pisces Risings have easily accepted that in many different ways, life is what you make it, which is exactly why they never hesitate to let the good times roll.
Pisces’s rising relationship
Pisces risings always have the best intentions, and so they enter relationships with the full understanding that they should add something to them in a meaningful way. As the oldest sign of the zodiac, their energy is automatically inclined toward being observant and reflective.
Depending on which sign they have their Mercury in, they can often be perceived as mildly judgmental. However, with their hazy aura, it’s quite difficult for people to understand what their judgments really mean.
With Mercury-ruled Virgo as their descendant sign (which is the opposite point of your Rising sign), Pisces Risings are more “givers” than “takers.” Virgo energy shows affection by assuming various positions of service, so Pisces Risings are among the most attentive and compassionate Rising signs.
In partnerships or any other kind of relationship, Pisces Risings aren’t strangers to overexerting themselves. They prove time and time again how deeply they care about their loved ones, so it’s not so uncommon for them to genuinely require more breaks. Otherwise, they would probably collapse if they didn’t take enough naps. It’s just like keeping a fish out of water!
Pisces rising in love
It’s quite a blessing to be loved by a Pisces Rising. Their 5th house of pleasure is ruled by the nurturing and careful sign of Cancer, which means that they don’t hesitate to show up for their loved ones.
When you are really loved by a Pisces Rising, you might as well expect them to be in your corner at all times. If you need anything, they would be offended if you didn’t ask for their help.
Their whole MO is constantly showing those they love that they care for them through service. Pisces Risings sometimes suffer from ‘bleeding hearts.’ They work very hard for their partners, no matter what. Their willingness to love is quite commendable, but they can easily benefit from learning to set boundaries and practice saying “no.”
Pisces rising at work
Since they have their 6th house in Leo, Pisces Risings is known to be quite popular and well-respected in their careers. They also make these surreal and fun-filled experiences in the office.
Even if some expect work to be draining, Pisces Risings completely take it upon themselves to inspire creativity. Work is never boring, especially when you are with a Pisces Rising.
Pisces energy can sometimes come off as sleep or even dreamy, especially because they work continuously for the things they believe in.
Pisces rising at home
You will never see a Pisces rising letting a stranger into their personal space. Having their 4th house of home in Gemini automatically means they somehow tend to spend their days on the go (even in quarantine, they like to keep their minds active).
When you enter their homes, you should expect to see books that will take you to another dimension, fantasy, as well as unsettling realities.
