A Pisces' Guide to Life, Love & Style

As the zodiac's most selfless sign, the Pisces woman is naturally caring and empathetic. (In addition to Elizabeth Taylor, other famous Pisces include Drew Barrymore, Cindy Crawford and French actress Isabelle Huppert.) While you're easily affected by your environment and the emotions of others, you also have the compassion and strength to stay true to what you believe in.

A Pisces loves to dress up and feel feminine, but comfort is also key. A combination of flowy textures in pretty pastels and cozy knits is the perfect combination.

This season's diaphanous blue fabrics and glistening textures are made for Pisces.

A Pisces feels most alive by the water. If you don't live by the ocean, incorporate shades of cool blue, live plants and mementos from the beach into your home. Also look for pieces in smooth, round shapes with reflective surfaces reminiscent of water.

A 9-to-5 gig may not be the best fit for your free-spirited nature. Instead, you're probably more drawn to a career that's creative and allows for some flexibility. (Think photography, or filmmaking.) And don't be afraid of pursuing what you love—even if others don't think it's realistic. When a Pisces sets her mind to something, she's focused and determined.

Whether it's writing, sketching or making a mood board, doing something artistic is essential for you. You may find an activity like painting to be calming and meditative as well as an opportunity to be creative.

Swimming, surfing, stand-up paddle boarding—anything water-related will keep you toned and happy. (Just be sure to slather on the sunscreen!)

Satisfy your artistic impulse and your love of water with a trip to somewhere like Bo-Kaap in Capetown, South Africa. Here, you'll find a rich culture and creative community in a sunny, beach-side setting.

Pisces needs someone who understands emotions and can offer the security and reassurance that you need. Look for love among your fellow water signs. A Cancer or Scorpio (like Ryan Gosling) will be devoted and share your romantic, sensitive nature.

When it's comes to avoiding Mr. Wrong, you're too much of a dreamer for practical Gemini, who won't provide you with the spiritual and emotional connection you crave, or an Aries (like Michael Fassbender), who likes to plan and do, rather than sit and ponder.

You need a friend who is strong, positive and equally kind and considerate. Pisceans do best in a nurturing, supportive friendship that goes both ways. You'll find a spiritual connection with grounded Taurus (like Penelope Cruz), who shares your empathy.
