The Zodiac --- The Sign of Pisces the Fishes

Pisces / J.P. Rhea

Pisces is the twelfth and last sign of the Tropical Zodiac, and the twelfth (and last) sign of most Sidereal systems and the modern rarely-used Constellational system of astrology. In the Tropical system, the Sun is in Pisces from the nineteenth of February to the 20th of March. In the Sidereal system the Sun is in Pisces from March 14th to April 14th. 

Pisces is a Water Sign, and hence strongly focused on emotions. It is also a Mutable Sign, indicating both flexibility on the positive side and inconstancy on the negative side. Pisces is a Feminine, Inner, or Introverted sign. In ancient days, Pisces was ruled by Jupiter, but for the last 150 years it has been ruled also by Neptune, the dark blue, distant, and mysterious planet that rules secrets, the subconscious mind, and the spirit. Pisces is also ruler of the 12th House of spirituality and things hidden. 

Well-aspected Pisceans are leaders in New Age movements, religious and spiritual matters, psychotherapeutics, and the occult. They can be empaths, and are profoundly gifted with sensitivity and an appreciation of mysticism. However, poorly aspected Pisceans are often dismissed as simply odd. Often, a badly-aspected Pisces will seem spaced out or uncertain of where they are and what they are doing there. Evolved Pisceans are credited with seeing visions; unevolved Pisceans are accused of seeing hallucinations. 

Piceans can be kind, compassionate, idealistic, imaginative, and selfless, but they can also be hypersensitive, pessimistic, lazy fantasists who do nothing to bring their view of the world into actual being. Once they find a focus, Pisceans draw strength from it, but lacking focus they squander their gifts. The tendency to get caught up in dreams makes some astrologers characterize Pisces as the weakest sign of the Zodiac, rather unfairly. 

In Maslow's Hierarchy, the Representational Person of the Zodiac having been born (Aries) and having had their fundamental needs met (Taurus), then having measured their place in the world (Gemini) and experienced emotion (Cancer) and creativity (Leo), evaluates the outcome of their work (Virgo), shares the results (Libra), while meeting their own needs (Scorpio), and the needs of others (Sagittarius), after which they make a home for themselves (Capricorn) and others (Aquarius), now moves beyond the strictly physical plane into other dimensions (Pisces). Pisces is thus the ultimate expression of one's humanity. The key phrase for Pisces is "I Believe." 

 

Famous Pisceans include Einstein, Bryan Cranston, Harvey Weinstein, Mr. Rogers, Rick Perry, John Lewis, The BTK Killer, Richard Ramirez, John Wayne Gacy, James Earl Ray, Kurt Cobain, Copernicus, Dorothy Stratten, George Washington, Michaelangelo, Marjorie Post, Lou Reed, Jack Kerouac, Neville Chamberlain, Chopin, and Bobby Fischer. Many people speculate that Christ was actually born under the sign of Pisces --- more on this later.
