Pisces Feb. 19 - March 20

Pisces, the fish, is ruled by Neptune, and lives in the 12th and last house of the Zodiac. The Pisces key phrase is “I BELIEVE” and their keyword is “understanding.”

Pisces is a water sign, meaning instinctive and emotional. It is also a mutable sign, which goes with the flow, is adaptable and changeable.

Some characteristics of the Pisces personality are that they are compassionate, charitable, sympathetic, sacrificing, intuitive, introspective, musical and artistic.

If you catch a Pisces person on their bad side, you might see them procrastinating. Or, they can be over-talkative, melancholy, pessimistic, emotionally inhibited, timid, impractical, lazy, and they often feel misunderstood. They can give off the impression of having a victim mentality.

Pisces people are the often found as the backbone of service organizations that help man help himself.

On the whole, this is the strongest, wisest sign in the zodiac; having gained the solar experience in previous lifetimes of all the other sun signs, and bringing those Neptunian visions into an organic whole for manifestation.

It isn’t all light and fluffy being Neptunian, or 12th-house-inclined. This placement of the Sun can show suffering and sorrow, limitations, handicaps, secrets, seclusion, frustration, and spiritual debts to be paid.

In Buddhist doctrines, the saying "to live is to suffer" is a 12th house given. The mechanism that is triggered by that understanding, in wise Pisces, is that it takes compassion for others and an evolved way of interacting within the organic whole of Source for the creation of a life worth living.
