This Is How A Pisces Pairs With Each Zodiac Sign In Matters Of The Heart
A Pisces can fall in love with anyone. Their capacity to love and create space for others is limitless, making their compatibility with other signs a diverse one. They accept others openly and truly believe in the fairytale type of love.
Pisces in Love & Relationships
Pisces being a water sign is one of the more emotional signs of the zodiac and they wear their heart on their sleeve. Though it can be difficult for Pisces to settle down as they are very aware of all the fish in the sea, and they want to experience it all. They crave deep affection and transparency in a relationship and feel that their partner should be able to fulfill all of their fantasies in life which is not always possible. At the end of the day, however, Pisces has a heart that expands love and makes a relationship a heartfelt one.
Pisces Love Compatibility: Best & Worst Matches in the Zodiac
When it comes to how Pisces love, they exude a sweet type of demeanor toward their partners. A Pisces has a childlike love that is very exciting to potential suitors. They want a love that is for the books, and you can often find a Pisces daydreaming about the possibilities of it all. When an evolved Pisces is in the picture, this is the type of person to be there for you rain or shine and to show you how much they love you every day. An unevolved Pisces can lead you on an emotional rollercoaster and will take some time to find their way.
All in all, Pisces compatibility is a wildcard, but once they are in love, it’s difficult for them to think of anything else.
Who Are Pisces Most Compatible With?
Pisces + Aries Love Compatibility
Pisces and Aries together can either be a recipe for disaster or a recipe for success. There is more compatibility between them than noticed right away, however, their differences can often be too substantial in the long haul. Pisces and Aries operate on different playing fields. Aries is energy, and Pisces is emotion. Aries likes to always be on the go, and Pisces likes to take their time while moving through the world. They have a lot of different interests and unless they are willing to learn more about each other and try new things, then this relationship can run dry pretty quickly.
Pisces + Taurus Love Compatibility
This is a good match. Pisces and Taurus get along well, and this is one of Pisces’ best matches in Astrology. What makes this relationship work so well is the give and take here. These two are both romantics at heart, and Pisces is often swept off their feet by sensual Taurus. Pisces is compassionate, and Taurus is chill. These two aren’t one to rush each other or step on each other's toes, allowing the relationship to grow and form in its own divine time and space. Pisces and Taurus is a relationship that has all the potential to be a forever type of love and these two often make it long-term.
Pisces + Gemini Love Compatibility
Pisces and Gemini are both mutable signs, and there is an instant connection here. Whether the relationship turns into a romantic one is another story, however, you can’t deny the chemistry between Pisces and Gemini right off the bat. What makes this relationship work is their flexibility and ability to go with the flow and not put too much pressure on the relationship. The downside to this combo is that both signs are a wildcard which can lead to a chaotic relationship. Not to mention, Pisces wants to feel, and Gemini wants to think. They need to understand each other to make the relationship work.
Pisces + Cancer Love Compatibility
Pisces and Cancer have a relationship that feels like they’ve been soulmates for many lifetimes. Being together is like a breath of fresh air for them because they feel like they are finally with someone that understands them and how they feel. This relationship is a lot of fun and there is a lot of happiness between the two. The only precaution with this union is that together they can be pretty impulsive and tend to rush into this relationship. However, by taking things one step at a time, and enjoying what they are building together, this can be a truly once-in-a-lifetime love.
Pisces + Leo Love Compatibility
This is an unusual combo, but anything is possible. Pisces and Leo are either attracted to each other or immediately turned off. Leo can come off as too self-centered for Pisces and where most zodiac signs are enamored by this bold sign; Pisces doesn’t get the hype. Pisces is endearing to Leo but they immediately get the feeling that Pisces is too wishy-washy for their strong-willed selves. Pisces’ emotional world can feel too heavy at times for Leo’s spirit and they are often not on the same page. This relationship can get better over time but is not the best match for Pisces at the end of the day.
Pisces + Virgo Love Compatibility
Pisces and Virgo are the yin and yang of the zodiac. These two are opposite signs, but they both happen to be mutable signs as well which makes for a strong connection. The relationship between Pisces and Virgos is either a hit or a miss. This can be the best relationship they both have as they feel like they are each other’s other halves and like they found their soulmate. Though, these two signs often test each other without even trying as they are both coming from different directions trying to meet each other in the middle. What makes this relationship work is that they are both best friends and lovers, and they truly love and adore each other.
Pisces + Libra Love Compatibility
Pisces and Libra together is a slippery slope. They have more in common than most water and air sign duos, but the relationship can also be one that’s not as fulfilling for Pisces as they would have hoped. Both of these signs want to be adored and are both very receptive. The challenge with these two is that Pisces likes to be led in love and so does Libra. They can often feel like they aren’t getting what they need in the relationship and like there is no growth, often questioning who is going to make the first move or wondering where each other stands. They are both very compromising and understanding, however, and they can form a sweet connection overall.
Pisces + Scorpio Love Compatibility
These two believe in love at first sight, and they often experience it when they meet. Scorpio is one of the best matches for Pisces, and these two often make it to the altar. Scorpio has a way of sweeping Pisces off their feet, and Pisces appreciates Scorpio's energy of emotion yet a bit of dominance and confidence. This is a sexy combo, and these two coming together is a recipe for success. With all water and water duos, emotional impulses can get the best of them but if they are both evolved and ready for a committed relationship, then they have found a good partner for that in each other.
Pisces + Sagittarius Love Compatibility
Pisces and Sagittarius are a fun couple. This couple loves to explore life together, go on vacations, and escape into their own little world. They are fun to be around, and they prefer to keep things light. Not only are these two mutable signs, but they are both also ruled by benevolent Jupiter, making this a lucky duo. While being together they often experience profound insights, good luck, and serendipitous moments. Challenges may arise here, however, when it comes to both of these signs being free spirits as they may never settle down in a way that can bring a strong foundation to the relationship. All in all, this is an inspiring relationship for both of them.
Pisces + Capricorn Love Compatibility
Capricorn is a really good match for Pisces, and these two are often found in long-term relationships with each other. Pisces experiences harmony with Capricorn who brings the perfect balance of stability and devotion to them. Pisces brings the warmth and sensitivity into this relationship that Capricorn needs to soften up a little, and these two know how to make it work. They both are open to what they want and need within a relationship right away which helps them be on the same page and know what they are moving forward to. These two together also make great manifesters as Capricorn helps Pisces bring their vision into reality, and Pisces helps Capricorn believe in miracles.
Pisces + Aquarius Love Compatibility
Pisces and Aquarius are the oddballs of the zodiac and they have a connection because of it. These two both live life out of the ordinary, and love all things unique. They appreciate each other’s sense of style and perspective and find a lot of happiness and excitement together. Overall, air signs aren’t the best matches for Pisces, but Aquarius is the most similar to Pisces when it comes to air signs, so these two already have the upper hand there. This relationship will work if Aquarius can drop into their heart more rather than their head and if Pisces can define their values and boundaries in the relationship creating an atmosphere for honesty and stability.
Pisces + Pisces Love Compatibility
Pisces and Pisces relationships aren’t the most recommended, but they can work if the two signs in question are evolved individuals. When dating someone of the same sign as yourself, there are often a lot of tests and triggers experienced as it's like someone holding up a mirror to you constantly. If these two have already learned a lot in love and have a good sense of self, then they can understand each other and value each other and the connection altogether. Water and water combos can get messy, however, and emotions will run from high to low.

The Mecca Of Fashion: The Top Street Style Moments At Howard Homecoming
Outfits were planned, bags were packed, and cameras were ready to capture Howard University's collegiate spirit during its centennial Homecoming celebration. Not only does it hold the number one ranking as the most elite Historically Black College and University or its top performing academics, diversity of students and alumni, but the HBCU also leaves a legacy of style and grace.
The essence of effortless poise and refinement shines bright through the iconic university colors of indigo blue, red, and white. Every October, Howard University students, alumni, staff, and friends gather on the prestigious campus in Washington, D.C. to take part in time-honored traditions and events, which is Homecoming. This year's theme, “The Meccaverse,” was a week-long celebration of Howard University’s heritage, including the Homecoming football game and Bison Pep Rally, the Fashion Show, Greek Life Step Show, Homecoming Day of Service, Lavender Reception, and the iconic Yard Fest Concert.
As 2024 marked the 100th anniversary of the Howard Bison trek back to The Mecca and after two years of virtual events due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this was to be a celebration of a lifetime. We enlisted HU alumnus Sharmaine Harris, a luxury retail buyer, as she revisited her alma mater as eyes on the yard for fashion-forward outfits mixed with personal style and campus pride for the weeklong celebration.
Before we get to the looks, discover how attending Howard University impacted her career in fashion and her day-to-day style:

xoNecole: Describe your personal style. Did attending Howard have any impact on developing it?
Sharmaine: Howard taught me that there’s no such thing as being TOO dressed. There’s always a reason to “put it on” and look presentable, even if it’s just for a day of classes. Standing out was celebrated and encouraged with my peers embracing the opportunity, giving me the confidence to try new styles and trends.
xoNecole: How did Howard shape your career as a luxury buyer?
Sharmaine: I studied Fashion Merchandising, through which I was fortunate to have professors who were very connected to the industry and able to give first-hand accounts of opportunities and what to expect post-college. I was also able to build a network through my peers and other Howard Alum, which has opened doors to endless possibilities both within fashion as well as daily life.
The same confidence instilled in me through my style has also been rooted deeply within me as I step into any role or project I’m faced with throughout my career.
xoNecole: This year marked Howard’s 100th-anniversary Homecoming celebration. Can you describe what the weekend looked and felt like?
Sharmaine: I’ve gone to many Howard Homecomings since graduating, but this year’s 100th anniversary felt like a huge family reunion filled with nothing but love. It was beautiful to see so many Bison return home looking great and radiating joy. It was beautiful!
xoNecole: What makes Howard fashion different from other HBCUs?
Sharmaine: Being that Howard is The Mecca, we have such a diverse population with each individual having their own spin on fashion. Getting dressed is second nature for us, but the layered confidence is our secret ingredient to make any look come together. Through that comfortability to push barriers, we have a legacy of setting trends, as indicated by the many alumni we have in the fashion and entertainment industry.

Raised in a household that loved music, she began exploring her creative side early on, dabbling in poetry, dance, and theater.

Doechii initially shared her songs on YouTube and SoundCloud, steadily building a loyal fan base and refining her artistic identity.
This year the Florida native is leading the ladies in the rap pack with four Grammy nominations — Best New Artist, Best Rap Album, Best Rap Performance, and Best Remixed Recording.
In March, Doechii took the pop charts by storm with her track "Alter Ego" featuring JT and Kaytranada. Shortly after, she released one of the year's most refreshing rap projects, Alligator Bites Never Heal. The project stands out as a lyrical tour de force, effortlessly weaving wordplay with raw emotion and vulnerability in a way that few artists of her generation can match.

In a blend of all the emotions—relief, pride, and irritation, Doechii raps "I am a Black girl who beat the statistics," in “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake.” While her vocal nuances and cadences on the song are reminiscent of Nicki Minaj, the unique origin story at its core is all Doechii.
3.Doechii Signed with Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE)
In 2022, Doechii became the first female rapper to sign with Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), joining a roster that includes Kendrick Lamar, SZA, and Isaiah Rashad. This marked a major milestone in her career.
On October 17, Mr. Morale himself expressed his admiration for Doechii by declaring her the "hardest out" in an Instagram Story post. This post highlighted the cover art of her acclaimed mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal, which is a testament to the Florida native's talent.

5.Doechii's Hit Singles Like "Crazy" and "Persuasive"
She released the singles "Crazy" and "Persuasive," both of which received critical acclaim. "Persuasive" became a summer anthem, and a remix featuring SZA further elevated the track's popularity.

Doechii identifies as queer and often incorporates themes of gender fluidity and sexuality into her music. Her openness about her identity has made her an icon in the LGBTQ+ community.
To commemorate Pride Month this year, the Swamp Princess crafted a heartfelt letter addressing the LGBTQ community, expressing gratitude for their unwavering support. This support empowered her to courageously challenge societal expectations and embrace her authentic self without reservation.
She wrote, “My creative work is heavily influenced by both my Florida roots and the vibrant LGBTQ+ community. Whether I’m working on choreography or undergoing a glamorous transformation, I draw inspiration from my memories of resilience and artistry of drag queens in Ybor City and the energy of ballroom culture in NYC.”
8.Doechii's Inspirations and Influences
Her influences range from Missy Elliott and Nicki Minaj to genre-defying artists like Tyler, The Creator to the greats like Kanye West, Beyoncé, Lauryn Hill, and Outkast. Doechii cites their innovation and boldness as key inspirations in shaping her own artistic journey. In an interview with NME, Doechii shared, “These are artists who are the most honest, the most creative, and I’m really inspired by them. They gave me the courage to do what I’m doing right now.”
The rapper continued, “I wrote my first song when I was in the 6th grade. I knew this girl who was a huge Nicki Minaj fan. She put me onto Nicki Minaj and I was immediately hooked and wanted to start a group. I wanted to rap, so I wrote my first song and we did it at a talent show, and we won!”
9.Her Debut EP 'she / her / black bitch'
In 2022, she dropped her EP she / her / black bitch, a powerful project that explores themes of identity, race, and womanhood. The title and content reflect her experience as a Black woman in America, aiming to reclaim and empower.
10.Her Advocacy for Mental Health and Self-Love
Doechii is vocal about mental health, self-love, and the struggles of navigating the music industry as a young artist. She uses her platform to encourage fans to embrace their authentic selves and prioritize their mental well-being.
When sitting down with Netflix and Baby Tate for a roundtable discussion, Doechii shared, “Same as Tate, I recognize my shadow self and my demons as something that I work with. Now I kinda tell them what to do and we really cool now. If anything, I used to be really ashamed like, why do I even have a dark side? … Then I realized that my shadow side and my demons can actually help me see myself in a more human way. I kinda forgave myself, and them, and now we work together. We cool but not too much."
