Pisces (Meena)
Pisces (Meena) is a dual water sign ruled by Jupiter and symbolised by two fish. The last sign of the zodiac, it stands for compassion, imagination, devotion, surrender and spiritual release.
Also known as: meen rashi, meen
Meena flows. Its natives tend to be gentle, intuitive, artistic and generous, quick to sense what others feel and drawn to music, healing, charity and faith. The two fish swim in opposite directions, a picture of a nature pulled between the worldly and the spiritual. Boundaries and practical follow-through are its lessons.
Pisces is the feet of Kalapurusha, and as the 12th sign it mirrors the house of liberation. Venus is exalted here, most of all at 27°, and Mercury is debilitated at 15°. The last pada of Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati fall in Pisces, and the zodiac ends with Revati at 30° Pisces.
For Pisces rising, Jupiter rules the 1st and 10th houses; the Moon, lord of the 5th, and Mars, lord of the 2nd and 9th, are helpful planets. As a Moon sign, Pisces gives a soft, imaginative heart. The Sun moves through sidereal Pisces from about 15 March to 13 April, a second Kharmas period in many North Indian traditions.
