You are a mystic. You are a healer. You are a dreamer. Dreaming your way through life is your way to live. For many of you, there is a fine line between fantasy and reality—and it is often hard to discern which is which. You hunger to manifest the ideal and the hopeless romantic in you will settle for nothing less than the dream. Anything is possible under heaven, Pisces, so bring your ideal to visit form.

Pisces are very friendly, so they often find themselves in a company of very different people. Pisces are selfless, they are always willing to help others, without hoping to get anything back.
Pisces is a Water sign and as such this zodiac sign is characterized by empathy and expressed emotional capacity.
Their ruling planet is Neptune, so Pisces are more intuitive than others and have an artistic talent. Neptune is connected to music, so Pisces reveal music preferences in the earliest stages of life. They are generous, compassionate and extremely faithful and caring.
People born under the Pisces sign have an intuitive understanding of the life cycle and thus achieve the best emotional relationship with other beings.

FRIENDS - Gentle and caring, Pisces can be the best friends that may exist. In fact, they often put the needs of their friends in front of their needs. They are loyal, devoted, compassionate and whenever there is some problem in the family or among friends, they will do their best to resolve it. Deeply intuitive, Pisces can sense if something is wrong, even before it happens. Pisces are expressive and they will not hesitate to express their feelings to the people around them.

For the most part, Pisces don’t give money too much thought. They are usually more focused on their dreams and goals, but they will try to make enough money to achieve their goals. In this area, there can be two sides of the Pisces - on one hand, they will spend a lot of money with little thought, while on the other hand they can become quite stingy. Yet, in the end, there will always be enough money for a normal life.
THE HISTORY - The sign of Pisces does not coincide with the constellation of Pisces. It takes the twelfth, last 30 degrees of the zodiacal circle. This is a sign of mutable quality in which the Sun resides as the winter comes to an end, and the spring is about to begin, representing a zone of intertwined seasons, and with them the end of life, and its beginning. This is a time when we can expect snow and low temperatures, as much as we can expect the nature to blossom all around us. This is why we can say with certainty that the sign of Pisces is a sign of greatest changes among all mutable signs
The constellation of Pisces got its name from the Latin plural of fish. It was recognized in Babylonian constellations as Šinunutu, “the great swallow” in current western Pisces, and Anunitum, “the Lady of Heaven”, where the northern fish is. Babylonians also called this constellation “The Tails”, picturing two fish swimming in the opposite directions, while representing rivers Euphrates and Tigris. A part of this constellation was thought of as “the fish cord/ribbon” connecting the two fish.
This constellation is the 14th largest overall and it was often proposed to be “cut” into smaller subdivisions. In the seventeenth century, it was suggested that it should be divided in four subdivisions – the northern and the southern fish, and the northern and the southern cord. In the following century, it was proposed that a part of Pisces should be observed as a separate constellation called Testudo (the Turtle).
Stars in the constellation of Pisces are faint, and none of them is brighter than fourth magnitude and this makes it challenging to see them in the night sky with the naked eye. If we connect all of the stars in this constellation, we wouldn’t be able to recognize fish in the shape.
THE MYTH - The mythology behind the constellation of Pisces has its roots in Syria as Atagartis, the goddess of love and fertility. She was represented by a half-woman, half-fish figure, and is thought to be the inspiration for the Greek goddess Aphrodite and the Roman goddess Venus.
Mostly, the constellation of Pisces is linked to the story of Aphrodite and her son Eros, who escaped from the monster Typhon by leaping into the sea and transforming themselves into fish. By a different version, they were by the river Euphrates at the time, and jumped into the river, not the sea. When they jumped into the water, they tied themselves together with rope, in order not to lose each other. On Syrian shores of river Euphrates, eating fish is still considered taboo.
There is another version of this myth in which Aphrodite and Eros jumped into the water and two fish came to their rescue.
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PISCES MYTH & PISCES ZODIAC - It is in the nature of Pisces to run away from all sorts of monsters. They are easily frightened and the myth tells about their ability to change shapes and put on different masks in order to avoid getting hurt. In case of a very good planetary position in connection to Pisces, it will help a person hold on to a secret that they will benefit from. If the position is not that positive, panic and fear might take over and hiding will become the way of life. In the worst possible connection, this myth can represent death by drowning and the love story that ends in a tragic way because of “monsters” partners had to face.
The primal nature of Pisces tells about people who have a tendency to get stuck, and just like fish, get tangled inside a fisherman’s net. They will often find themselves entangled in problems, situations they couldn’t predict, and their movement through life will be full of obstacles for as long as they run heedlessly through it.
