Pisces

Pisces (the Fishes) February 20th - March 20thPisces is the 12th and last sign of the zodiac, represented by two fishes. The Greek myth, echoing that of Capricorn, tells how the erotic love gods, Eros and Aphrodite, were turned into fishes when they leapt into water to escape the wrath of the storm god Typhon. The usual images of Pisces show the two fishes head to tail, like the oriental yin-yang symbol, to emphasise the male and female aspects. This hides the true constellation image of fish tied by their tails and hanging like plumb lines divided by the square of Pegasus - seen by the Babylonians as the Ark of the Deluge.

Qualities
Emotionally receptive. Self-sacrificial. Impressionable and indiscriminative. Vague, sensitive and psychic.

Poets Mystics Social-workers Physicists Prison-guards
Health
Pisceans tend to suffer from insomnia and nerves. This tendency can result in digestive and minor intestinal difficulties which in turn often cause boils, ulcers and other skin problems. Early nights preceded by relaxing forms of exercise, rather than diet or medication, is usually the most effective treatment.
