Pisces or Meena is the twelfth and the last zodiac sign among all twelve zodiac signs which are taken into consideration for making astrological calculations on the basis of Vedic Astrology. It is indicated by a pair of fish swimming in opposite directions. The Sun stays in Pisces from 15th March to 13th April as per sidereal zodiac which is followed by Vedic Astrologers.
Pisces is considered as a watery sign in Vedic Astrology and it is ruled by Jupiter and though Sagittarius is also ruled by Jupiter, there is a great difference in the nature of these signs as well as the kind of qualities these two signs impart to the planets placed in them. Sagittarius is a well balanced and mixed sign ruled by Jupiter which more likely deals with the materialistic aspects of the world but at the same time it also takes the spiritualistic aspects into consideration whereas Pisces on the other hand primarily deals with the spiritualistic aspects and the benefit and well being of the other living beings. So the planets placed in Pisces are more likely to be affected by these qualities of kindness and spirituality and other such qualities.
The duality of the Piscean nature is symbolized by the fact that the fish are swimming in different directions. These people can be compassionate and patient when others disappoint them, or they can become cold and ruthless, unable to find sympathy or empathy for the needs of others.
These people are able to make great personal sacrifices if they feel that it is for the common good. They can be quite selfless, in a manner which can be a source of inspiration to others.
Pisces people are creative, self-sufficient people. They have a natural ability for understanding complex material, but this is accomplished by “absorbing” the knowledge rather than studying it. Their minds are extremely active, due to their strong imagination. They sense and feel things that others are not aware of. This trait makes it very difficult for people to lie to them, for they intuitively know when they are being deceived. Pisceans are congenial, adaptable, and versatile people, but they do not have strong willpower or a dynamic approach to life. This insecurity causes them to seek reassurance from others. Pisces are sensitive, sympathetic, usually gentle, with an inborn reluctance to hurt others or to face any sort of confrontations. Because of this, they can become involved in very difficult emotional situations which they find extremely difficult to break. They intuitively know they are being used, but seem unable to get themselves out of their predicament. This difficulty stems from the fact that Pisceans think with their heart rather than their head, so are easily “used” by others. They are very sympathetic toward the helpless or downtrodden.
Pisces rules feet, toes and the other parts of the body in this region. A strongly placed Pisces in a horoscope generally means strong working of the body parts ruled by this sign whereas serious afflictions to this sign by virtue of placement of negative planets in it or by virtue of aspects from negative planets to it can make the native suffer from problems and diseases related to the parts of the body ruled by this sign.
Pisces like all other zodiac signs contains three Nakshatra or lunar mansion, which are one third of the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra, entire Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra and entire Revati Nakshatra.
