Pisces season stretches from February 19th to March 20th!

This water sign, also known as the sign of the Fish, is characterized by an all-around sensitivity. From earthly compassion to otherworldly intuition, this sign has a gentle awareness like no other.

They have a fondness for romantic things: music, art, and love itself. But their hunger to separate from the realities of the world around them can make them a bit melancholy and fearful.

Perhaps they should be distracting themselves from the problems outside with some good mystery flicks.

From art heists to surreal searches, here are the best mystery and thriller movies to watch if you're a Pisces!

The Mastermind

In this heist movie set in the 1970s, James Blaine Mooney (Josh O'Connor), a failed architect, hires a group of criminals to work with him to steal four paintings from a museum in broad daylight. 

However, Mooney finds that possessing the art is far more complicated than the act of stealing it, and must set off for a life on the run.

This fresh mystery will delight a Pisces, as this water sign has a soft spot for art.

Mr. Right

Martha McKay (Anna Kendrick) is a perpetual optimist. But things take an unusual turn when her new boyfriend, Francis Munch (Sam Rockwell) turns out to be a defected hitman.

When Francis confides in Martha that he believes she has the same unique talent that makes him so good at his work, she has a lot to consider.

This film will pique a Pisces' interest for both its romantic elements and its utilization of intuition, which this sign is known for.

The Gift

Speaking of intuition, this paranormal mystery taps into spiritual intuition, which is found most commonly in Pisces.

Annabelle Wilson (Cate Blanchett) is a psychic single mother who works as a fortune teller in a small town. When a young socialite (Katie Holmes) goes missing, Annabelle tries to use her gifts to find her—and the culprit responsible.

Phone Booth

Stuart Shepard (Colin Farrell) is an arrogant, dishonest publicist who is plotting an extramarital affair. After answering a call in a phone booth, he finds himself trapped under the gaze of an extortionist sniper who urges him to confess all of his misdeeds if he wants to live.

There's nothing that scares a Pisces more than the past coming back to haunt them, so if this sign of the Fish is looking for a heart-pounding thriller, this flick will keep them on the edge of their seat.

Under the Silver Lake

When the jaded Sam (Andrew Garfield) discovers an enigmatic woman swimming in his apartment's pool, he's captivated. In the morning, she's vanished.

Desperate to find her, he journeys across Los Angeles, only to stumble across a peculiar conspiracy.

Besides the on-the-nose water elements of this film, the surreal nature of this film will appeal to Pisces' desire to escape reality.
