Pisces, born between February 19 and March 20, is the last constellation in the zodiac and are known for their compassion, empathy, and intuition. Symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, they balance reality with dreamlike escapism. Highly creative and emotionally in tune, Pisces are drawn to imaginative stories with tender, heartfelt themes. Their sensitivity and romantic nature make them particularly affected by moving, emotional tales.
Here are some of book suggestions for our compassionate friends:
