Pisces is the twelfth Sign of the Zodiac. It is
the final Sign in the cycle of the Zodiac, and
it brings together all that is learned by the first
eleven Signs to help man reach the pinnacle
of his potential. Pisceans are selfless and
spiritual, often strongly intuitive, and they are
receptive to the collective unconscious.
Pisces is the Sign of dreams and secrets, and
it represents much that is hidden, both
strengths and enemies. As the twelfth Sign,
Pisces also rules the twelfth House: the
House of the Unconscious.
The Astrological Symbol of Pisces is the Pair
of Fishes. They reflect the dual nature of life;
each Fish swims in different directions,
representing reality and nonreality,
consciousness and the unconscious. On the
other hand, they can be indirect and
unfocused. Pisceans don't have a strong
agenda; they tend to "go with the flow" and
move where life takes them. In this way,
Pisces exemplifies the Mutable Quality
assigned to it. They are the chameleons of
the Zodiac, receptive to the needs of others
but sometimes getting lost themselves. Within
the Zodiac, Pisces is opposite Virgo, the
Sign of Health. While Virgo is about
consciousness and physical life, Pisces tends
to be about the unconscious and mental and
emotional life. Both Signs are of service to
others; Pisces is charitable and
self-sacrificing, but may sometimes be too
passive and gullible for their own good.
