subject: Introduction To Pisces And Its Ruler [print this page] Pisces is the twelfth astrological sign in the zodiac and is the final sign in its cycle. A water sign among others, Neptune is its natural planetary ruler alongside Jupiter.
Albeit the latter is considered the Pisceans ancient planetary ruler, both has profound influence on every Piscean.
This sign is represented by two fishes swimming in different directions thus symbolizing its duality. Pisces people are mainly characterized as very highly emotional, sensitive, saint-like or the worst of sinners, romantic, imaginative, an escapist, a victim of vulnerability, very compassionate and non-aggressive, inspiring and very spiritual.
With these character traits, the Pisces is the most emphatic sign among the twelve signs. This is so because Pisces falling under a water sign is indicative of reflective capabilities much like a mirror. What they see in the surface is what youll get in return.
A Piscean can be a business person with a tough exterior in a sharp suit, while deep inside is a mushy person who is sometimes a little too yielding to coercion and suggestion.
A Pisces is always open to enjoyment and perhaps even sometimes a little too self-indulgent.
The Pisces person can also calm people down just by walking into the room, its generous spirit pervading any gathering. Pisceans cant quite stand on their own as they tend to go with the flow, moving where life takes them.
In this way, Pisces exemplifies the Mutable Quality assigned to it. Pisceans are the chameleons of the Zodiac, receptive to the needs of others but sometimes failing to administer to oneself.
Within the Zodiac, Pisces is opposite Virgo, the Sign of Health. While Virgo is about consciousness and physical life, Pisces tends to be about the unconscious and mental and emotional life. Both Signs are of service to others; Pisces is charitable and self-sacrificing, but may sometimes be too passive and gullible for their own good.
In lull times, Pisceans tend to work to alleviate emotional stress either through exercise or sports which brings them in contact with their natural element, water. They prefer sports like swimming and sailing.
People born under Pisces are artistic and may excel in music and drama. In love relationships, Pisceans can be caring, devoted, and romantic.
Pisces rules the feet. People born under the sign may be more susceptible to sore and swollen feet than people of other Signs.
Interestingly enough, the greatest strength of Pisces is its compassion. They can skillfully reach out to other people as compared to the other signs.
