We discuss a revision of accretion activity and kinematics of the enigmaticisolated UX Ori type star RZ Psc. Previously, RZ Psc was known to possess onlyspectroscopic signatures of outflow in the low-excitation lines of alkalimetals. The archival high-resolution spectra reveal a short-lived episode ofmagnetospheric accretion in the system observed via inverse P Cyg profiles atthe H$\alpha$ and CaII 8542 $\unicode{x212B}$ lines. The simultaneous presenceof accretion and outflow signatures at CaII 8542 $\unicode{x212B}$ issuggestive of an accretion-driven origin of the RZ Psc wind. We argue that RZPsc experiences matter ejection via the magnetic propeller mechanism butvariable accretion episodes allow it to sometimes move in the magnetosphericaccretion regime. The presence of the weak accretion in the system is alsosupported by the radiation of the hot accretion spot on the stellar surfaceobserved spectroscopically at the deep photometric minimum of the star. TheGalactic motion of RZ Psc calculated with new GAIA DR2 astrometric datasuggests possible membership in Cas-Tau OB association with an age of$t=20^{+3}_{-5}$ Myr.
