Aquarius Pisces Cusp Overview

Born between February 15-21, this cusp is creative, kind, and spiritual. The Aquarius Pisces cusp is called the Cusp of Sensitivity for a reason. They have the intellectual mind of an Aquarius and the emotional depth of a Pisces, leaving them with a deep understanding of their own and others' feelings. They spend their time drawing, reading, or writing to get out all the creative ideas racing through their head. In fact, they might just prefer spending their days with their head in the clouds.^{[1]

Strengths

1
Sensitive Don’t think this means an Aquarius Pisces cusp is crying all the time—their sensitivity makes them extremely in tune with their emotions. The influence of intelligent Aquarius softens the emotionality of Pisces, giving this cusp the ability to deeply understand their feelings. They’re open to life and experiences like no other sign, wanting to feel the whole spectrum of emotions because that’s what makes life worth living.
2
Empathetic Want to know what happens when you cross humanitarian Aquarius with kind and compassionate Pisces? You get a deeply empathetic and understanding person. You’ll catch this cusp at the front of a protest or volunteering for causes near and dear to them. With Aquarius’ social justice spirit and Pisces’ caring heart, their main goal in life is to help others.
- Being a mutable sign, Pisces tends to have a more “go with the flow” attitude that can sometimes lead to flaking. When feeling the influence of Aquarius’ fixed nature, this cusp is more likely to follow through and realize their philanthropic dreams.
3
Spiritual It’s not uncommon to find an Aquarius Pisces cusp nose-deep in a precarious stack of self-help books. Aquarians are extremely curious, who feel like the world is a puzzle meant to be solved. Coupled with Neptune’s mystical influence on Pisces, this cusp loves to unlock the secrets of philosophy and spirituality to get closer to the true meaning of life.
4
Creative You’ll know an Aquarius Pisces cusp when you see them. With huge, Piscean imaginations and an off-beat Aquarian attitude, these signs might seem a little eccentric. They’ll dye their hair a wild shade and coolly wear outfits that would clash on anyone else. With their minds full of ideas, wants, and wishes, you’ll often find them scribbling in a notebook or brushing canvases to life with color.
5
Intuitive If you need the lowdown on a new crush or figure out if a job opportunity is right for you, an Aquarius Pisces cusp is who you want to ask. This cusp just seems to know things, almost like they have a 6th sense. Their sensitivity and deep understanding of others helps them listen to and trust their gut, which is usually right!^{[2]

Weaknesses

1
Unfocused With their head in the clouds, an Aquarius Pisces cusp can be spacey and forgetful. This cusp is so focused on their dreams to change the world, that they can lose track of what’s going down on Earth below them. They might show up late to a friend’s birthday party or miss a dentist appointment entirely because they’re so caught up in their thoughts.^{[3]

- As an air sign, Aquarius can clash with Pisces, leading to disorganization. Pisces is a sensitive water sign who tends to overthink. When combined with Aquarius’ analytical mind and flighty tendencies, it’s no wonder they get lost in their own thoughts.
- If you're a forgetful Aquarius Pisces cusp, jot down important reminders in your phone, calendar, or agenda. To stay focused, give yourself a to-do list each day, making sure to schedule in some time to dream!
2
Detached An Aquarius Pisces cusp is so focused on things bigger than themselves, that they sometimes come across as aloof. While this cusp is one of the most empathetic signs in the zodiac, their perspective can be so macro that keeping in touch with friends and making small talk falls off their radar.
- If you’re an Aquarius Pisces cusp, make time to keep in touch with your family and friends. If you send a daily text, organize monthly video calls, and make weekly hang-out plans, you’ll still have plenty of room in your schedule to focus on the big picture.
3
Moody Empathy often comes at a price, which can cause Aquarius Pisces cusps to absorb more energy than they can deal with. There’s so many people and causes they want to help, so they often feel overworked and mentally drained. This cusp can then turn inwards, making them seem gloomy and testy as a result.^{[4]

- As an Aquarius Pisces cusp, it’s okay to take a step back and make time for yourself. Take a breath and de-stress by going for a calming walk, drawing up a bubble bath, and curling up with a good book—bonus if it’s about self-help!
