pisces season lasts from february 19 to march 20.
the constellation known as pisces has been associated with many divine figures in history, such as poseidon/neptune, vishnu, and the sumerian goddess inanna. pisces is the latin word for "fish," and in greek mythology, this constellation represents the koi fish that saved aphrodite and her son eros from the sea monster typhon.
as a reward, the two fishes were placed in the heavens to shine for all of eternity.Ā venus, the roman version of aphrodite, is said to have an exalted position in pisces, an affinity that echoes back to her gratitude for the fishes' hospitality and help.
pisces is the twelfth sign of the zodiac, and it is also the final sign in the zodiacal cycle. this sign brings together many of the characteristics of the eleven signs that have come before it. pisces, however, are happiest keeping many of these qualities under wraps. these folks are selfless, spiritual, and very focused on their inner journey.
they also place great weight on what they are feeling. yes, feelings define the pisces zodiac sign, and it's not uncommon for them to feel their own burdens (and joys) as well as those of others. the intuition of the pisces-born is highly evolved. many people associate pisces with dreams and secrets, and it's a fair association, since those born under this sign feel comfortable in an illusory world.
in classical astrology,Ā jupiterĀ is the planetary ruler of bothĀ sagittariusĀ and pisces. sagittarius was thought to be the day, or diurnal home of jupiter, with jupiter finding a second nocturnal home in sensitive and soulful pisces. jupiter has a full affinity with the imaginative and spiritual tendencies of this sign, but because it is in its nocturnal home, these themes take on a more interior and meditative expression.
this placement presents a more thoughtful, reflective, and gentle version of Jupiter's bold planetary energy. pisces is potentially the archetype of a more private and mysterious seeker than the ebullient, outgoing sagittarius. those born with jupiter in the sign of the two fish tend to have a strong belief in the unseen forces of the universe and are often mystic seekers and teachers.
