Pisces

Pisces is the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac, a mutable water sign pictured as the Fish. Its ruler is Jupiter. It holds the energy of compassion and dissolving boundaries, the pull toward imagination, mercy, and union with something larger. The Sun moves through Pisces from roughly February 19 to March 20. Where Pisces sits in a chart is where a person feels the suffering of others, dreams, and senses what cannot be spelled out. At its best the Pisces temperament is compassionate, imaginative, gentle, and spiritually open. It forgives easily, creates beauty from feeling, and meets pain with real tenderness. Without firm footing, that same softness slips into escapism, confusion, self-pity, and a tendency to lose itself in others or in illusion. Pisces rules the feet and the lymphatic system, and its key phrase is "I believe." Its work is to keep a gentle boundary around its open heart, so compassion can flow without draining the person dry.
