Time to get emotional, Pisces is having a birthday.

The fragile-hearted, deeply empathetic Pisces are up next on the birthday chopping block, so everyone be nice. Super similar to our touchy Cancerian mates, our little fishy pals are all about being in their feels and overthinking everything. Which, honestly, is a little tragic – but we love them. You’ll find a Pisces twirling or daydreaming somewhere, often recognisable by some sort of bead or lace garment. We think of them as the Luna Lovegood of the zodiac fam. You know, that whole 'dance like no one’s watching, off with the fairies' vibe, but also a bit psychic and witchy. They look super innocent, perhaps even a little forlorn, but don’t stare into their see-all eyes because they’ll get ya. They can read you like a Mr Men book. The main thing with Pisces is just not to forget about them on their special day – trust us, you don’t want to deal with the tears – so we’ve put together a list of Pisces-approved drinks to gift them this birthday.

1. For the empaths who vibe with animals

If you have a Pisces friend, CHERISH them. They can be a little elusive (pick up the phone already), but they’re super sweet and ultra compassionate. Kind of like a therapist you don’t need to pay for. Going through a break-up? Been fired from your dream job? Just found out your fave character died in Grey’s Anatomy? Guess who’s already ringing your doorbell with choccy ice cream under their arm. That’s right: Pisces. Unsurprisingly, this level of empathy means Pisces feels a real kinship with animals. Rock up to a Piscean's house and they’ll have adopted 11 dogs, 20 cats, 50 fish and a bunch of turtles since you were last there, all because they "looked sad". So we reckon a pack of Part Time Rangers Peach Penguin cans would go down a treat. A combo of vodka, peach and sparkling water, not only are they perfectly fizzy, light and sweet (with only 98 calories per can), but for every can sold, a portion of the proceeds goes towards penguin conservation in WA. A total Pisces vibe. 

2. For the arty farties

You know those neighbourhood trees wrapped in brightly coloured, crocheted turtlenecks? For sure that’s the work of a Pisces. Not just because they’re massive tree-huggers (which they are), but because they absolutely froth a bit of art and craft. They love nothing more than getting their arms elbow-deep in some paint and going all Jackson Pollock on a blank wall. In their breaks from twirling and being mysterious, they’re definitely somewhere in one of those Melbourne CBD laneways, creating their next masterpiece (it’s not graffiti, it's street art, duh). So, if you want to impress your fishy friend, gift them the beautiful Castellani Solo Arte Vino Dei Santi. Halfway between a wine and a whiskey, this Tuscan drop is deliciously sweet – perfect for a sweetie-pie Pisces friend. The limited edition artwork on the label comes from the Castellani family’s prized collection, so the bottle itself is a little work of art. Trust us, they’ll love it.

3. For the overthinkers

They may be hyper-emotional, mega deep, whimsical creatures, but do you know what they’re not? Unbothered. They are the queens and kings of overthinking. Seriously – they’re still hung up on that one time they accidentally called their barista ‘mum’. Five years ago. Time to get over it, team. But no, they love a good dwell and have to talk through every step of every embarrassing moment they’ve ever lived through to know if it really was “that bad.” So, fire signs, time to practise your patience because it will, and does, go on and on and there's not much you can do to stop it. In times like these, it's always a good idea to remind our scaly brothers and sisters that not everything needs to be so serious. A cheeky pack of Sungazer Fruity Beer Watermelon is fun, playful and wallet-friendly enough to derail the overthinking, if not for just a moment. It’s hard to be too serious when you’re sipping on something this refreshing. And honestly, a Pisces needs that. 

4. For the heads in the clouds

How’s the weather up there, Pisces? Cloudy? No, duh. A Piscean’s head hovers somewhere between the atmosphere and the stratosphere 99% of the time; always pondering something spiritual or mystical (creepy, if you ask us). They are what you’d call a group of dreamers. When they’re not overthinking, they’re lost in their own imagination. We don’t know what they’re contemplating so deeply and, frankly, we don’t want to know – but it's best to let a Pisces be a Pisces. So, what do you get for someone whose head is permanently in the clouds? A cloudy hazy IPA, specifically Feral Biggie Juice IPA. It’s intentionally left cloudy, giving the beer a creamy mouthfeel with licks of tropical hop aromas like apricot, peach and passionfruit to finish. You may not be able to deter a Pisces from their daydreaming, but you can give them a drink that will complement it.

5. For the hopeless romantics

A Pisces loves to love, and loves to be in love. They are hopeless romantics and adore all gestures, big and small, that show them how much you love them. Whether that’s tattooing someone's whole face on the small of your back, a giant fireworks display in the shape of a heart, or just a little cocktail made for them when they get home from work, they love it all (we’d go with the latter, if we were you). So, if you were to go the simpler, but still romantic, route, we’d recommend mixing up a Rob Roy cocktail. A sweet little number with Scotch, bitters and sweet vermouth. Make it a good one by using the divine Maidenii Sweet Vermouth. Pisces will fall head over heels.
