What are the two different types of Pisces?
Free-flowing March Pisceans are notorious for wearing their hearts on their sleeves, but they keep their cards a little closer to their chest. That’s because they’re all Pisceans in the second and third decans, which means their cosmic co-ruler is either the moon (planet of emotions) or Pluto (planet of transformation). Given that faraway Pluto regulates all things subterranean and the moon (which only comes out at night) rules our private life, both of these planets provide a slightly murky and mysterious spirit to Pisces’ mystery. March Pisceans are more private as a result of this impact.
Is there a difference between Pisces in February and Pisces in March?
Neptune, the planet of desires and illusions, is Pisces’ governing planet, but most March Pisceans are second or third decan Pisceans, which means they have a second co-ruling planet that influences how their zodiac signal is displayed. Because Pisceans born in February are ruled solely by Neptune, they tend to reflect the most traditional Pisces characteristics and flaws. Pisces energy is generally associated with empathy, delicacy, and ethereality, which perfectly describes February Pisceans.
Why is Pisces so uncommon?
The fact that February is the shortest month, and these zodiac seasons make up the month, leads to the belief that Pisces or Aquarius is the rarest sign.
Because Pisces season lasts until the end of February, people believe there are fewer days in Pisces season and thus fewer Pisces births than any other sign.
However, each zodiac sign season lasts around 30 days, as the Sun spends the same amount of time in each sign.
In what ways is Jesus a Pisces?
We’ve been under the astrological sign of Pisces since February 20th, so everyone you know who is a Pisces will have (or has had) a birthday soon!
If you’re seeking for the ideal birthday present for a Pisces in your life, naming a star after them in the Pisces constellation could be the answer.
If you’re thinking about naming a star in the Pisces constellation, here are some science and mythology facts to help you out!
Science
Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, one to the north and the other to the west. A cord connects the two of them.
The two fish are thought to be the Greek goddess Aphrodite and her son, Eros – though we’ll get to that later.
Pisces is a huge V-shaped constellation in the Northern Hemisphere, located in the first quadrant. Despite being a huge constellation, it is difficult to notice due to the large area it spans and the dim stars it contains. While the month of Pisces occurs in late winter/early spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is only visible in the very early phases of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.
The brightest star in Pisces is Eta Piscium, also known as Alpherg or Kullat Nunu. It is 294 light-years away from Earth and 316 times brighter than the sun.
‘Van Maanen’s’ Star is likewise in Pisces, named after Adrian van Maanen, a Dutch astronomer who discovered it in 1917. It is the 31st closest star system and the closest solitary white dwarf to the sun, at only 14.1 light-years distant. (The practice of naming a star appears to date back many years.)
Interestingly, the Hubble Space Telescope discovered a pair of dwarf galaxies dubbed Pisces A and Pisces B within the constellation. After monitoring the two, researchers discovered some intriguing information: they travelled to a nearby group of galaxies throughout time, speeding up the pace of star creation.
What the galaxies Pisces A and Pisces B can show us about what dwarf galaxies looked like in the past.
But why are two fish linked with Pisces? We must return to the ancient Greeks and an ancient mythology to comprehend this.
Myth
Legend has it that the mythological events surrounding this constellation occurred near the Euphrates River. This suggests that the story was modified from an even older story passed down from the Babylonians to the Greeks. But let’s get back to the story.
The Olympian Gods had won the battle. Even though the Titans had been defeated, there were still people plotting their demise while the Gods sat safely.
Typhon, son of the Titan Tartarus, and Gaia, enraged by the Olympians’ actions, set out to exact ultimate vengeance and finally overthrow the Olympians.
Typhon was the most terrifying creature the earth had ever seen; he was so dangerous and strong that even Gods were afraid to confront him.
Typhon came saw Aphrodite and Eros (Venus and Cupid in Roman mythology) as they were wandering along the Euphrates River.
Despite many other casualties during the Typhoon, the Olympians emerged victorious.
Zues set the fish among the stars to commemorate the victory, and they became the constellation of Pisces.
That is a fascinating story. However, there’s an intriguing tale about Pieces that suggests a 2000-year-old cover-up!
Some believe that the constellation Pieces may hold the answer to Jesus Christ’s identity!
Conspiracy?
According to one idea, the Christ image may not have arisen from a Jewish Rabbi speaking in Galilee, but rather from pagan astrology.
According to one theory, Jesus was born as an avatar of the Pisces constellation, a figure who was supposed to represent the movement of the sky at the commencement of the Age of Pisces. The activities of the early Christians, who utilized the fish as a symbol of Jesus, provide evidence for this.
It should be highlighted that, while intriguing (and divisive), this is highly unlikely to be the case. So, why does the fish figure appear so frequently in early Christian art?
Because early Christians were persecuted, they couldn’t openly declare their faith. As a result, a fish was utilized as a symbol for Jesus. This is because ICHTUS, the Greek word for fish, stands for Iesus CHristos Theou Uios Soter, which means ‘Jesus Christ Son Of God the Saviour.’
So there’s no big conspiracy here; just a misunderstanding of symbol origins and what they mean to different communities at different eras.

Is Pisces a sun sign or a moon sign?
Most people are interested in your sun sign when they inquire about your zodiac sign. To begin, it’s critical to comprehend what the word “sun sign” actually means. It simply tells us which zodiac sign the Sun was in at the moment of one’s birth, also known as the zodiac sign. So, from Aries to Pisces, the sun might be in any of the 12 zodiac signs, which determines your personality according to astrology. Your zodiac sign can reveal both positive and bad aspects of your personality.
In essence, your solar sign defines what you want out of life and the exact combination of qualities and traits you’ll inherit to get there. Every zodiac sign has a ruling plant that influences and governs the personality of those born beneath it. The planet Mercury, for example, rules Virgo and is regarded as the plant of communication. This is why you have yet to meet a Virgo who lacks exceptional communication abilities and is incapable of handling any type of information.
