Pisces (♓) is the twelfth
astrological sign in the
Zodiac, which started from the
Pisces constellation. In
astrology, Pisces is considered a "feminine",
negative (introvert) sign.
It is also considered a
water sign and one of the four
mutable signs. (Mutable signs have a longing for movement and are extremely restless. Pisces is the most watery sign. It is constantly trying to adapt itself to its ever-changing feelings and to the moods and whims of others.)
Pisces has been traditionally ruled by the planet
Jupiter, but since its discovery,
Neptune has been considered a modern ruler of this sign. Being the twelfth sign, Pisces is associated with the astrological twelfth
house.
Individuals born when the
Sun was in this sign are considered Pisceans. Under the
tropical zodiac, the Sun is in Pisces roughly from February 20 to March 20, ending on the moment of
vernal equinox by definition. In
western astrology this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation because of the
precession of the equinoxes.
[2] Under the
sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from March 15 to April 18.
