About Pisces

Pisces is a Mutable Water sign. It is ruled by Jupiter (traditional) or Neptune (modern) and associated with the 12th house. The Sun is in Pisces from mid-February to mid-March, which marks the end of winter and the transition to spring in the Northern Hemisphere. As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces represents the dissolution of boundaries, releasing of the ego, and the merging of the individual with greater spiritual substrate of reality.

The polarity of Pisces is Virgo, which is Mutable Earth. The Virgo-Pisces axis is about the mundane vs. the sacred, and discernment vs. dissolution.
