Pisces isn't a saint in my understanding (I've heard of a brutal one that even bragged of killing a hippie while he was a deputy, and he was a wife beater and child abuser, probably from absorbing the energy of the people around him and at some point probably went the "tough guy" path to avoid being hurt anymore). In fact, the reason there's 2 fish in their symbol is because they have a choice to swim to the top or to the very bottom. They can go either way, elevated or rotten in their own way...just like any other sign in that sense, though perhaps the potential for good and bad is greater for Pisces. There is the idea that Pisces are automatically old souls but I don't buy that...though I can see how that impression is made given that they're mutables with the energy of the rest of the zodiac which can make them seem like they have different "channels," especially when they hang around different types of people (something of an astrological AB blood type that can absorb energy and traits from any other sign which pull at them like the tides) and maybe even more of an ability to recall previous lives or other metaphysical existences (or at least the Collective Unconscious as described by Jung) through their dream worlds, but I don't find them any more wise or capable or mature (or foolish and rotten) than any other sign. Besides, even if there are old souls who have been around the block many times it wouldn't necessarily make them kind and thoughtful, it can instead become Saturnine and worse. I know it's comforting to think that it inevitably does lead to serenity and unwillingness to do harm as it implies a benevolent universe in which justice and/or mercy prevails, but wanting it to be true doesn't make it so.
