PISCES
February 19th - March 20
Pisces, ruled by Jupiter and Neptune, is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac. It is the culmination of all 12 signs, and it has been said - the most karmic of all the signs. Pisces is ruled by feminine energy, water, and is a mutable (changeable) sign. Piscean people are sensitive, imaginative, creative, and can be deep on an emotional level. Pisceans are considered to be the most intuitive and spiritual of all the zodiac signs. They can be prone to addictions and often prefer the comfort of their fantasy life as opposed to the harsh reality of an often seemingly cold world.
The Pisces symbol of the two fish swimming in opposite directions symbolizes the duality of their nature. Despite their fragile, vulnerable, and sensitive appearance, don't be fooled; those born under the sign of the fish can also be strong, focused, moody, and relentless when angered.
Pisces Tarot Card
The Major Arcana Tarot Card associated with Pisces is the Hanged Man.
The Hanged Man is the card of enlightenment. Pisces rules feet and the lymphatic system.
The Hanged Man sees the world from a different perspective and typically conveys a willingness to change; hence, the symbology of the man hanging by his foot. This card can also represent the need to be philosophical and meditate upon a current situation. The Hanged Man possesses wisdom, patience, and optimism as well as a willingness to see beyond his/her limitations. It can also be the card of spiritual awakening.
When this card is reversed; it's meaning becomes contrary to the meaning above. This person refuses to look at new perspectives. They can become stuck on an emotional and/or spiritual level refusing to see things differently.
The Lesser Arcana association to Pisces is "Cups". Lesser Arcana cards include Ace through Ten adding a Page, Knight, Queen and King symbolizing people born under the Piscean influence.
"Cups" symbolize emotions, and as in astrology are ruled by water. Cups also include two fellow water signs - Scorpio and Cancer. Cups typically relate to issues regarding family, marriage, and emotional challenges.
An adult Pisces female is a Queen of Cups. She may be passive, a seductress, mysterious, and has hidden psychic depth and ability. She is the most spiritual of all the signs. Her physical features are usually fair with light colored hair, medium in height and prone towards weight gain.
An adult Pisces male is a King of Cups. He is typically short, prone towards weight gain and sensitive by nature. He is ruled by his emotions which can be challenging in his daily encounters.
