So, you wanna know about dating a Pisces, specifically the ones born in February versus the March ones? Man, I’ve been through the wringer with this, seriously. It’s not just a Sun Sign thing; those few weeks make a massive difference in how they click, or totally clash, with you.
I started digging into this when I was trying to figure out why my February Pisces ex was so different from this March Pisces dude I was seeing. The February guy was all dreamy, super artistic, but holy cow, so flaky. Like, commitments were optional for him. The March guy, though, still sensitive, still creative, but way more grounded, you know? More of an ‘I’ll do the dishes’ kind of vibe after we had a deep chat.
The February Fish: All about Neptune’s Vibes
I noticed the February Pisces, the ones close to the beginning of the sign, are heavy, heavy on the Neptune influence. Pure, unfiltered water sign energy. I was dating one; we’ll call him ‘A’. A was the kind of person who’d talk about saving the world and then forget his wallet every single time we went out. My mission was to try and pin him down for dinner plans more than 24 hours in advance. It was a bust, always.
- The Practice: The main thing with A was his need for emotional merging. If I was sad, he was instantly sadder. It was exhausting. I tried setting boundaries, gentle ones, telling him, “Hey, your feelings are yours, mine are mine.” He’d nod, then three hours later, he’d be crying because I’d accidentally left the TV remote on the floor.
- The Record: We broke up because the boundaries just dissolved. He wanted a soulmate connection so intense it was suffocating. My practical side—I’m a Capricorn rising, go figure—needed structure, and A just saw structure as walls preventing cosmic union.
The March Fish: Mixing it up with Mars and Pluto
Now, the March Pisces, especially those born later in the month, they start picking up on that Aries energy—Mars, fire, action. They still have the deep empathy, but they package it with a bit of a push, sometimes even a stubborn streak. Enter ‘B’. B was a March Pisces. He still painted and played guitar, but unlike A, B actually had a portfolio and a website and charged reasonable rates. He had ambition.
- The Practice: With B, the emotional stuff was still there, but it wasn’t a constant tide of tears. When we argued, it was an actual argument, not an abstract emotional spiral. He was capable of saying, “Yeah, I screwed up, let me fix it.” A would just disappear for three days if he felt bad. B tackled it.
- The Record: Compatibility wise, B and I lasted way longer because we could actually get stuff done. We moved apartments together. He handled the moving company negotiations; I handled the packing. With A, we’d still be arguing about which color paint best represented our inner turmoil.
The Compatibility Takeaway I Learned
If you’re looking for that intense, almost psychic twin flame connection, the February Pisces might be your jam, but prepare for chaos and zero follow-through. They need a partner who can essentially be their practical anchor and financial planner. They live in a bubble, and someone has to pay the electric bill.
But if you want a dreamer who still remembers to take out the trash and can manage a spreadsheet, the March Pisces is generally better. They’ve got that fighting spirit from Aries sneaking in there, giving them a bit of backbone and purpose.
My final realization from all this dating and journaling about their differences? The March Pisces is still going to be a deep pool of emotion, don’t get me wrong, but they are closer to the shore. The February ones? They are way out in the deep ocean, and sometimes you just can’t swim that far out to save them.
I actually found myself stepping away from relationships where I felt like the caretaker. The dynamic with the February guy was inherently unequal—I was Mom, he was the talented but helpless artist. With the March guy, it felt more like partners. He still needed space to dream, but he’d also ask if I’d eaten lunch. That simple shift from ‘my feelings are drowning us’ to ‘are you okay?’ made all the difference.
So when you’re assessing compatibility now, ask yourself: do you want pure poetry and zero practicality, or slightly less misty poetry and a better chance they’ll show up on time?
