Man, let me tell you, I was just completely burned out on dating. Like, truly done. Every time I thought I found “the one,” or even someone worth a second date, it would just turn into a spectacular, emotionally draining mess. I’m a Pisces, right? We feel things big time. We’re dreamers, we are sensitive, and we need someone who gets that, not someone who calls us “too much.”
I started wondering if it wasn’t just bad luck or something wrong with me, but maybe I was accidentally picking people who were just fundamentally built to clash with a Fish. So I decided to treat this like a research project, a full deep-dive. I figured, I needed real, concrete data from real-life screw-ups, not just some fluffy magazine quiz promising me soulmates.
The Practice: Drilling Down on Disasters
The first thing I did was a massive data dump. I opened up my old phone contacts and chat histories. I went back through every single person I seriously dated, or even the ones I had a nasty falling out with after a few months. It was brutal. I literally wrote down their name, their sign, and a quick summary of how the relationship ended—like “Ghosted after 3 months, cold” or “Major fight over feelings, too blunt.” I mapped it out.
My first pool of data was pure chaos, a depressing spreadsheet of emotional wreckage. But patterns started emerging, right? Certain signs just kept showing up in the “absolute nightmare” column. And I wasn’t going to rely just on my own bad luck.
Next, I crowdsourced. I started drilling my closest Pisces friends. I called them up, sent texts, cornered them at bars. I asked blunt questions: “Give me your worst sign experience. Which sign left you crying on the floor? Be honest, no holding back.” I spent a good two weeks just gathering these testimonials. It felt a bit like running an internal anonymous survey for broken hearts.
Finally, and this is key, only after I had all my own real-world dirt and all my friends’ sob stories, I cross-referenced everything with the standard astrology sites and books. I wanted to see if the supposed “compatibility” charts actually lined up with the actual, lived experience of Pisces people. If my data showed Sign X was terrible, but every site said they were a perfect match, then the sites were full of it. If they lined up? Bingo. We had a formula.
The Recording: The Hard-Truth Compatibility List
After all that digging, the results were loud and clear. There are three signs that consistently, brutally, showed up in the “Nope, run the other way” column for every Pisces I talked to—myself included. They aren’t bad people, but their core energy is poison for a sensitive Water sign.
Here are the main culprits a Pisces should think twice about:
- Gemini: The dual nature of a Gemini is just too flighty for a Pisces. We crave deep connection and stability; they crave variety and quick changes. Every single time, the Pisces person (me and my friends) felt confused, misled, and emotionally abandoned because the Gemini just couldn’t commit to a feeling or a plan. They talk a good game, but when you need solid ground, they are air. It’s like trying to build a castle on a cloud.
- Sagittarius: This one is the most brutal. Sagittarius is the sign of freedom and blunt, sometimes harsh, truth. Pisces lives in a world of gentle dreams and sensitivity. A Sagittarian will drop a brutally honest, unfiltered opinion on you, crush your feelings instantly, and then wonder why you’re upset. The emotional toll of constantly having your feelings dismissed or corrected by their “honesty” is just too much to handle long-term. They are too wild, we are too deep.
- Aquarius: The biggest issue here is emotional detachment. Pisces pours their soul out; Aquarius operates from a detached, intellectual space. They are thinkers, we are feelers. We need reassurance and warmth; they offer logic and a need for space. It’s not that they don’t care, it’s that they physically cannot process emotions the way we do, leaving the Pisces feeling cold and unloved, even when the Aquarius thinks they are being perfectly supportive.
The Realization: Why I Know This Is Spot On
I know this system works because of the ultimate truth bomb that hit me right after I finished this little “study.” I was finally able to put a name to the absolute worst period of my entire life, which happened about four years ago. It involved a huge professional setback, a betrayal by someone I trusted completely, and me having to move back home because the whole thing imploded.
I was so bitter about that mess for years. I thought it was just terrible luck, or maybe I was incompetent. Then, I checked the sign of the key person who orchestrated that betrayal, the one who was totally unreliable and constantly talking out of both sides of their mouth, destroying my confidence.
Guess what sign they were? A Gemini.
It wasn’t a professional failure at all. It was a complete, textbook, energetic incompatibility disaster. The classic Gemini-Pisces clash playing out in a high-stakes environment. I realized that my entire career disaster, that entire emotional wreckage I carried, wasn’t about my skills; it was a pure, toxic, astrological matchup. It was a compatibility problem, not a competence one. That’s when I knew this whole Pisces avoidance system I put together was completely, brutally, spot on.
I’m sticking to my chart now. No exceptions.
