Pisces: The Mystery of Imagination

In both Vedic and Western astrology, Pisces is considered the 12th and final sign of the zodiac. Belonging to the Water element, it is extremely sensitive, mysterious and emotional. It is ruled by Neptune (in modern Western astrology) and Jupiter (traditionally), making it the center of spirituality and imagination. Its symbol, the 'Two Fishes,' represents the constant struggle within the human soul between material desires and the pursuit of spiritual liberation.

Mythological Background

In Western mythology, Pisces is associated with the goddess of love, Aphrodite and her son, Eros. To escape a giant monster named Typhon, they transformed into fishes and tied themselves together with a cord to ensure they would not get separated. This story reflects the survival mechanism of Pisces individuals, who disappear into their deep sea of imagination when the external world becomes too harsh.
