Here are our picks for the final zodiac sign of the year.

The 12th and final sign in the zodiac calendar, Pisces, is represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions, embodying the pull between fantasy and reality that characterizes this sign. Those born under Pisces (February 19–March 20) are the most intuitive and empathetic of the zodiac—as the last house, Pisces has absorbed the experiences of all other 11 signs, making it the most emotionally complex.

Ruled by Neptune, which governs creativity and the dream realm, Pisces are natural-born artists. That said, it’s easy for this sign to get lost in waves of emotion or fantasy and avoid the task at hand. As collectors, Pisces will go out of their way to make sure artists are well supported, but their trusting nature means that they can rather easily be taken advantage of.

Famous Pisces artists include Kehinde Wiley, Piet Mondrian, Michelangelo, Rosa Bonheur, and Pierre-August Renoir. To celebrate the zodiac season, we’ve explored the Artnet Gallery Network to find artworks that celebrate the sensitive and imaginative qualities that define this sign.
