February 19 – March 20
Pisces' Planets: ♆ Neptune, ♃ Jupiter.
Pisces lies between Aquarius and Aries and gives its name to the last sign of the zodiac. It heralds spring: the point of the March equinox lies within this constellation.
Among its fascinating objects is Van Maanen's Star, the nearest known solitary white dwarf to Earth. White dwarfs are extraordinary. Roughly a hundredth of the Sun's diameter, they can be a million times denser than an ordinary star.
Other sights include the binary star Alrescha, whose Arabic name means “the cord,” and TX Piscium, one of the brightest carbon stars, with a strikingly deep red color.
The constellation is traditionally divided into the Northern Fish, beneath Andromeda, and the Western Fish, between Aquarius and Pegasus. That's why its familiar image shows two fish joined by a cord.

Pisces Months: February and March
Pisces is the twelfth and final sign, completing the zodiac. The Sun enters it on February 19 or 20 and remains until March 20 or 21, depending on the year.
Pisces Season: Winter
Pisces is the third sign of winter, but at heart it's a sign of transition, standing on the boundary between winter and spring. Nature stirs from its sleep: daylight stretches toward the equinox, the air warms, river ice breaks up, snow melts, and streams and rivers fill with water. Everything is changing, and adapting allows us to welcome the best of what comes next. Nature has given Pisces a philosophical outlook. Whatever changes around them, they remain themselves.
Pisces Element: Water
Water gives a rich inner life and a finely tuned awareness. In astrology, three signs belong to this changeable element: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.
As a Water sign, Pisces is perceptive, responsive, and emotional, sensitive to other people's moods and capable of deep empathy. Water's inexhaustible strength helps them stay flexible and flow around life's obstacles. It carries the energy of renewal, cleansing, rebirth, and change, giving Pisces boundless imagination and rich creative potential.
Pisces Ruling Planets: Jupiter and Neptune
In astrology, Jupiter is the generous planet of abundance, bringing joy, support, protection, and creative potential. Its motto is “I enjoy!” Jupiter gives Pisces a generous share of good fortune and well-being, especially emotional and spiritual well-being. It encourages them to move with nature's joyful rhythms, live in harmony with themselves and the world, and take a light, philosophical approach to life. That inner balance often draws material comforts to Pisces as easily as a magnet—another expression of Jupiter's influence.
Neptune governs everything changeable, elusive, and unknown in the world, in nature, and in human life. Its motto is “I believe!” In Pisces's horoscope, Neptune reveals all its mysterious charm, bringing remarkable intuition, vivid imagination, abstract thinking, an appreciation of beauty, and philosophical depth.
