The water sign Pisces is the zodiac’s final constellation. Two fish swimming in opposite directions are used to depict Pisces’ continual divide of attention between fantasy and reality. As the last sign, Pisces has absorbed all of the lessons gained by the other signs, including the pleasures and sorrows, hopes and anxieties. This makes these fish the astrological wheel’s most intuitive, empathic, and caring creatures. Pisces can easily be devoured by emotions because to their high sensitivity, therefore they must remember to stay grounded in the material realm (appropriately, Pisces rules the feet).

Is Jesus a Pisces by birth?
There are twelve astrological ages, which correlate to the twelve zodiacal signs, that parallel key changes in the evolution of Earth’s inhabitants, particularly in culture, society, and politics. The precession of the equinoxes causes astronomical ages, and one whole phase of this precession is called a Great Year or Platonic Year, which lasts around 25,920 years.
The age of Pisces began around the year 1 and will finish around the year 2150. Many Christian icons for Christ include the astrological symbol for Pisces, the fishes, because the narrative of Christ’s birth falls on this date. Christ is regarded an archetype of the Piscean since he has many of the temperaments and personality qualities of a Piscean. Furthermore, the twelve apostles were known as “fishers of men,” early Christians were known as “little fishes,” and “Ikhthus,” the Greek word for fish, was used as a code term for Jesus. The beginning of the era, or the “Great Month of Pisces,” is considered the start of the Christian religion. The apostle of the Piscean sign is known as Saint Peter.
Which God is associated with Pisces?
Pisces is the ruling constellation between February 19th and March 20th. We’ve already noted that Pisces, the zodiac sign that follows Aquarius, is a sign that is full of emotions, both good and terrible. We also informed you that Pisces are excellent buddies. The origins of Pisces, like the other 11 zodiac signs, may be traced back to prehistoric times. Ptolemy gave this star sign the name Pisces, which means fish in Latin. He lived around 1900 years ago and was the best astronomer in the Greco-Roman world. The names of the zodiac signs were not chosen at random by Ptolemy; they all have a legendary origin. The myth surrounding Pisces will be discussed in this post.
A monster on a killing spree
The story of Pisces begins with the Greek god Typhon. This god was the worst of the worst. The gods usually have imperfections, but they’re nice at heart. Typhon, not so. This god is dangerous and deadly in every way. He was referred to as a colossus. His upper body was human-like, while his legs were snake-like. His head was also a jumble of snake heads that had grown into flaming hair and screamed ceaselessly. And to top it off, this monster had wings! As a result, Typhon became a formidable foe to the gods.
Typhon was viewed as an outcast by the gods, who clearly did not like him. Typhon had had enough of it and resolved to climb Mount Olympus one awful day. All of the Greek gods and goddesses lived on this mountain. Typhon is enraged, and he has threatened all of the gods on that mountain. They are all well aware of Typhon’s abilities, so each god makes a hasty retreat. To avoid him, most of the gods transform into animals in order to achieve speed and agility. The gods of love, Aphrodite and Eros, are the only ones who do not change shape. Typhon is closing in on the two lovers, who are in serious danger. Two fish emerge at the last time and let Aphrodite and Eros jump on their backs. The two are able to avoid being captured by the monster Typhon in this manner. The two fish were placed in the heavens by the Greek gods as a way of celebrating this great gesture, and they became the constellation Pisces.
Different variations of the Pisces story
According to tradition, Aphrodite and Eros transformed themselves into fish and escaped this way. It appears improbable that this is the case because other gods changed into animals but did not have constellations named after them.
The myth we know today may have originated with Ptolemy, but Pisces’ origins are pre-Greco-Roman. The fish were known as Ichthyes in Syrian mythology. They assisted in the rescue of Ashtarte, the Syrian counterpart of Aphrodite, by transporting her down the Euphrates River. Overall, the story is similar, and the fish deserved to shine forever among the stars in the night sky.
Are Pisces people uncommon?
Pisces is the zodiac sign with the fewest persons born under it, according to legend. Maybe you’re a Pisces and people are usually astonished when they meet one, or maybe you’ve never met a Pisces before.
