This Is How A Pisces Pairs With Each Zodiac Sign In Matters Of The Heart

A Pisces can fall in love with anyone. Their capacity to love and create space for others is limitless, making their compatibility with other signs a diverse one. They accept others openly and truly believe in the fairytale type of love.
Pisces in Love & Relationships
Pisces being a water sign is one of the more emotional signs of the zodiac and they wear their heart on their sleeve. Though it can be difficult for Pisces to settle down as they are very aware of all the fish in the sea, and they want to experience it all. They crave deep affection and transparency in a relationship and feel that their partner should be able to fulfill all of their fantasies in life which is not always possible. At the end of the day, however, Pisces has a heart that expands love and makes a relationship a heartfelt one.
Pisces Love Compatibility: Best & Worst Matches in the Zodiac
When it comes to how Pisces love, they exude a sweet type of demeanor toward their partners. A Pisces has a childlike love that is very exciting to potential suitors. They want a love that is for the books, and you can often find a Pisces daydreaming about the possibilities of it all. When an evolved Pisces is in the picture, this is the type of person to be there for you rain or shine and to show you how much they love you every day. An unevolved Pisces can lead you on an emotional rollercoaster and will take some time to find their way.
All in all, Pisces compatibility is a wildcard, but once they are in love, it’s difficult for them to think of anything else.
Who Are Pisces Most Compatible With?
Pisces + Aries Love Compatibility
Pisces and Aries together can either be a recipe for disaster or a recipe for success. There is more compatibility between them than noticed right away, however, their differences can often be too substantial in the long haul. Pisces and Aries operate on different playing fields. Aries is energy, and Pisces is emotion. Aries likes to always be on the go, and Pisces likes to take their time while moving through the world. They have a lot of different interests and unless they are willing to learn more about each other and try new things, then this relationship can run dry pretty quickly.
Pisces + Taurus Love Compatibility
This is a good match. Pisces and Taurus get along well, and this is one of Pisces’ best matches in Astrology. What makes this relationship work so well is the give and take here. These two are both romantics at heart, and Pisces is often swept off their feet by sensual Taurus. Pisces is compassionate, and Taurus is chill. These two aren’t one to rush each other or step on each other's toes, allowing the relationship to grow and form in its own divine time and space. Pisces and Taurus is a relationship that has all the potential to be a forever type of love and these two often make it long-term.
Pisces + Gemini Love Compatibility
Pisces and Gemini are both mutable signs, and there is an instant connection here. Whether the relationship turns into a romantic one is another story, however, you can’t deny the chemistry between Pisces and Gemini right off the bat. What makes this relationship work is their flexibility and ability to go with the flow and not put too much pressure on the relationship. The downside to this combo is that both signs are a wildcard which can lead to a chaotic relationship. Not to mention, Pisces wants to feel, and Gemini wants to think. They need to understand each other to make the relationship work.
Pisces + Cancer Love Compatibility
Pisces and Cancer have a relationship that feels like they’ve been soulmates for many lifetimes. Being together is like a breath of fresh air for them because they feel like they are finally with someone that understands them and how they feel. This relationship is a lot of fun and there is a lot of happiness between the two. The only precaution with this union is that together they can be pretty impulsive and tend to rush into this relationship. However, by taking things one step at a time, and enjoying what they are building together, this can be a truly once-in-a-lifetime love.
Pisces + Leo Love Compatibility
This is an unusual combo, but anything is possible. Pisces and Leo are either attracted to each other or immediately turned off. Leo can come off as too self-centered for Pisces and where most zodiac signs are enamored by this bold sign; Pisces doesn’t get the hype. Pisces is endearing to Leo but they immediately get the feeling that Pisces is too wishy-washy for their strong-willed selves. Pisces’ emotional world can feel too heavy at times for Leo’s spirit and they are often not on the same page. This relationship can get better over time but is not the best match for Pisces at the end of the day.
Pisces + Virgo Love Compatibility
Pisces and Virgo are the yin and yang of the zodiac. These two are opposite signs, but they both happen to be mutable signs as well which makes for a strong connection. The relationship between Pisces and Virgos is either a hit or a miss. This can be the best relationship they both have as they feel like they are each other’s other halves and like they found their soulmate. Though, these two signs often test each other without even trying as they are both coming from different directions trying to meet each other in the middle. What makes this relationship work is that they are both best friends and lovers, and they truly love and adore each other.
Pisces + Libra Love Compatibility
Pisces and Libra together is a slippery slope. They have more in common than most water and air sign duos, but the relationship can also be one that’s not as fulfilling for Pisces as they would have hoped. Both of these signs want to be adored and are both very receptive. The challenge with these two is that Pisces likes to be led in love and so does Libra. They can often feel like they aren’t getting what they need in the relationship and like there is no growth, often questioning who is going to make the first move or wondering where each other stands. They are both very compromising and understanding, however, and they can form a sweet connection overall.
Pisces + Scorpio Love Compatibility
These two believe in love at first sight, and they often experience it when they meet. Scorpio is one of the best matches for Pisces, and these two often make it to the altar. Scorpio has a way of sweeping Pisces off their feet, and Pisces appreciates Scorpio's energy of emotion yet a bit of dominance and confidence. This is a sexy combo, and these two coming together is a recipe for success. With all water and water duos, emotional impulses can get the best of them but if they are both evolved and ready for a committed relationship, then they have found a good partner for that in each other.
Pisces + Sagittarius Love Compatibility
Pisces and Sagittarius are a fun couple. This couple loves to explore life together, go on vacations, and escape into their own little world. They are fun to be around, and they prefer to keep things light. Not only are these two mutable signs, but they are both also ruled by benevolent Jupiter, making this a lucky duo. While being together they often experience profound insights, good luck, and serendipitous moments. Challenges may arise here, however, when it comes to both of these signs being free spirits as they may never settle down in a way that can bring a strong foundation to the relationship. All in all, this is an inspiring relationship for both of them.
Pisces + Capricorn Love Compatibility
Capricorn is a really good match for Pisces, and these two are often found in long-term relationships with each other. Pisces experiences harmony with Capricorn who brings the perfect balance of stability and devotion to them. Pisces brings the warmth and sensitivity into this relationship that Capricorn needs to soften up a little, and these two know how to make it work. They both are open to what they want and need within a relationship right away which helps them be on the same page and know what they are moving forward to. These two together also make great manifesters as Capricorn helps Pisces bring their vision into reality, and Pisces helps Capricorn believe in miracles.
Pisces + Aquarius Love Compatibility
Pisces and Aquarius are the oddballs of the zodiac and they have a connection because of it. These two both live life out of the ordinary, and love all things unique. They appreciate each other’s sense of style and perspective and find a lot of happiness and excitement together. Overall, air signs aren’t the best matches for Pisces, but Aquarius is the most similar to Pisces when it comes to air signs, so these two already have the upper hand there. This relationship will work if Aquarius can drop into their heart more rather than their head and if Pisces can define their values and boundaries in the relationship creating an atmosphere for honesty and stability.
Pisces + Pisces Love Compatibility
Pisces and Pisces relationships aren’t the most recommended, but they can work if the two signs in question are evolved individuals. When dating someone of the same sign as yourself, there are often a lot of tests and triggers experienced as it's like someone holding up a mirror to you constantly. If these two have already learned a lot in love and have a good sense of self, then they can understand each other and value each other and the connection altogether. Water and water combos can get messy, however, and emotions will run from high to low.

The Full Moon on May 12 is a beautiful time to connect with loved ones or those who inspire you. The universe wants to show you that you are not alone this month and that you deserve to live a life where you can enjoy yourself more and manifest your dreams, rather than believing everything needs to be a challenge to be worthy.

Use this time to get inspired by change rather than let it bring you down, and ground yourself in the present moment more.
Saturn enters Aries in May, where it will remain for the next few years, helping you grow in the areas of your life that have to do with communication, networking, transportation, siblings, and education. You will be learning a lot during this time and will be finding new outlets for self-expression and communication. Before the month ends, we have a New Moon in Gemini occurring in your 5th house of romance, pleasure, hobbies, and entertainment, and after a month of navigating endings, changes, and closures, you are ready for a fresh start and are receiving one in love now.
PISCES
Allow what is to be, be, Pisces. May is a month of allowing yourself to trust the timing of the universe and not giving up hope that things are going to turn out beautifully for you. On May 12, there is a Full Moon in fellow water sign, Scorpio, and this is a time to get inspired and see the benefits of closure. This Full Moon is about gaining a new perspective and not doubting what is clearer to you now, that you are worthy of a new beginning.
On May 24, Saturn moves into your 2nd house of income, and you are going to be moving through a journey of developing financially, and working on maintaining stability while building new foundations in your life. The New Moon in Gemini at the end of the month is about setting your intentions for your home and family life and creating some new energy here. Overall, May is your month of breaking ground on the things you want to create for yourself and trusting the timing of how things are unfolding.

Claudia Jordan, Demetria McKinney & Jill Marie Jones On 'Games Women Play' & Dating Over 40
What do you get when you mix unfiltered truths, high-stakes romance, and a few well-timed one-liners? You get Games Women Play—the sizzling new stage play by Je’Caryous Johnson that’s part relationship rollercoaster, part grown-woman group chat.
With a powerhouse cast that includes Claudia Jordan, Demetria McKinney, Jill Marie Jones, Carl Payne, Chico Bean, and Brian J. White, the play dives headfirst into the messy, hilarious, and heart-wrenching games people play for love, power, and peace of mind. And the women leading this story? They’re bringing their whole selves to the stage—and leaving nothing behind.
From Script to Spotlight
The road to Games Women Play started over 20 years ago—literally.
“This script was written 20 years ago,” Jill Marie Jones said with a smile. “It was originally called Men, Money & Gold Diggers, and I was in the film version. So when Je’Caryous called me to bring it to the stage, I was like, ‘Let’s go.’” Now reimagined for 2025, the play is updated with sharp dialogue and modern relationship dynamics that feel all too real.
Demetria McKinney, no stranger to Je’Caryous Johnson’s productions, jumped at the opportunity to join the cast once again. “This is my third time working with him,” she shared. “It was an opportunity to stretch. I’d never been directed by Carl Payne before, and the chance to work with talent I admire—Jill, Claudia, Chico—it was a no-brainer.”
Claudia Jordan joked that she originally saw the role as just another check. “I didn’t take it that seriously at first,” she admitted. “But this is my first full-on tour—and now I’ve got a whole new respect for how hard people work in theater. This ain’t easy.”
Modern Love, Stage Left
The play doesn’t hold back when it comes to the messier parts of love. One jaw-dropping moment comes when a live podcast proposal flips into a prenup bombshell—leaving the audience (and the characters) gasping.
Demetria broke it down with honesty. “People don’t ask the real questions when they date. Like, ‘Do you want kids? How do you feel about money?’ These convos aren’t happening, and then everyone’s confused. That moment in the play—it’s real. That happens all the time.”
Jill chimed in, noting how the play speaks to emotional disconnect. “We’re giving each other different tokens of love. Men might offer security and money. Women, we’re giving our hearts. But there’s a disconnect—and that’s where things fall apart.”
And then Claudia, of course, took it all the way there. “These men don’t even want to sign our prenups now!” she laughed. “They want to live the soft life, too. Wearing units, gloss, getting their brows done. We can’t have nothing! Y’all want to be like us? Then get a damn period and go through menopause.”
Dating Over 40: “You Better Come Correct”
When the conversation turned to real-life relationships, all three women lit up. Their experiences dating in their 40s and 50s have given them both clarity—and zero tolerance for games.
“I feel sexier than I’ve ever felt,” said Jill, who proudly turned 50 in January. “I say what I want. I mean what I say. I’m inside my woman, and I’m not apologizing for it.”
Demetria added that dating now comes with deeper self-awareness. “Anybody in my life is there because I want them there. I’ve worked hard to need nobody. But I’m open to love—as long as you keep doing what got me there in the first place.”
For Claudia, the bar is high—and the peace is priceless. “I’ve worked hard for my peace,” she said. “I’m not dating for food. I’m dating because I want to spend time with you. And honestly, if being with you isn’t better than being alone with my candles and fountains and cats? Then no thanks.”
Channeling Strength & Icon Status
Each actress brings something different to the play—but all of them deliver.
“I actually wish I could be messier on stage,” Claudia joked. “But I think about my grandmother—she was born in 1929, couldn’t even vote or buy a house without a man, and didn’t give a damn. She was fearless. That’s where my strength comes from.”
For Jill, the comparisons to her iconic Girlfriends character Toni Childs aren’t far off—but this role gave her a chance to dig deeper. “If you really understood Toni, you’d see how layered she was. And Paisley is the same—misunderstood, but strong. There’s more to her than people see at first glance.”
Demetria, who juggles singing and acting seamlessly, shared that live theater pushes her in a new way. “Every moment on stage counts. You can’t redo anything. It’s a different kind of love and discipline. You have to give the performance away—live, in the moment—and trust that it lands.”
Laughter, Lessons & Black Girl Gems
The show has plenty of laugh-out-loud moments—and the cast isn’t shy about who steals scenes.
“Chico Bean gets a lot of gasps and laughs,” Claudia said. “And Naomi Booker? Every scene she’s in—she’s hilarious.”
But the play isn’t just about humor. It leaves space for reflection—especially for Black women.
“I hope we get back to the foundation of love and communication,” said Demetria. “A lot of us are in protector mode. But that’s turned into survival mode. We’ve lost softness. We’ve lost connection.”
Claudia agreed. “We’re doing it all—but it’s not because we want to be strong all the time. It’s because we have to be. And I just want women to know: You can have peace, you can be soft. But stop bringing your old pain into new love. Don’t let past heartbreak build walls so high that the right person can’t climb over.”
Final Act: Pack the House
If there’s one thing this cast agrees on, it’s that this play isn’t just entertainment—it’s necessary.
“Atlanta is the Black entertainment hub,” Claudia said. “We need y’all to show up for this play. Support the arts. Support each other. Because when we pack the house, we make space for more stories like this.”
Games Women Play is more than a play—it’s a mirror. You’ll see yourself, your friends, your exes, and maybe even your next chapter. So get ready to laugh, reflect, and maybe even heal—because the games are on.
