Pisces, the Fishes, is the third sign of the Water triplicity and the twelfth sign of the tropical zodiac. This deeply sensitive and charming sign is ruled by Jupiter (expansion; fortune) and Neptune (delusion; deception; illumination). The key phrase for Pisces is "I believe".
Jupiter, considered the great benefic, is the traditional ruler of Aquarius. This is the sign of expanded emotions, sensitivity and natural dumb luck.
The new-age ruler of Pisces is Neptune, planet of the mysterious, illusory, spiritual and sensitive aspects in man. Piscean people are apt to be idealistic, sensitive and responsive to the thoughts and feelings of others. Their temperament varies from being strongly optimistic to acutely pessimistic. They are generally not ambitious for material gain, preferring human interactions. Their charm, humour and sympathy is what opens the gates of opportunities. Their dramatic abilities lead them to develop art, music or poetry.
 Intense Imagination
Shy Pisceans would much rather impersonate someone else than be themselves. No wonder so many of them are actors, artists, writers, and dreamers. Elusive Neptune makes it hard to predict how they will develop. Some of them are neat and well organized, while others become slovenly and careless – largely a reflection of their emotional reactions to the environment. Their intense imagination can lead them to stretch the truth under many circumstances (the other side to their creative abilities), write fantastic novels, poetry and produce other artistic endeavours.
Confronting a sense of personal vulnerability, Pisces can be a daredevil and risk-taker. The thrills of car racing, piloting a plane, exploring the wilderness, or hunting game can be seductive. Pisces can be a compulsive eater. Sports and physical fitness routines are a good way to keep in shape and reduce emotional stress. Horseback riding, dancing, skating, swimming or sailing are favoured activities.
Pisces Rules the Feet
Each sign has internal, external and structural rulerships. Internally, Pisces rules the lymphatic system, synovial fluids and functions of the glands in general. Externally, it rules the feet and toes and structurally the bones of the feet.
Swelling, allergic reaction to drugs, injuries to the feet and related problems are common complaints, but the Piscean emotional nature can also make them vulnerable to psychosomatic illness. The susceptibility of the Piscean nature to drugs and alcohol as a way of dealing with the pressures of the world needs to be addressed in a sensitive and realistic way.
