Pisces - The Fish

Pisces - The Fish - 20 February - 20 March

A Feminine, Mutable Water Sign.

Pisces, the final sign of the zodiac, is normally depicted as two fish swimming in opposite directions. In an Egyptian carving at Dandara the two fish are pictured swimming in the same direction, their tails joined by a thread.

The 12th century bronze doors of the church of San Zeno in Verona, show a woman suckling two fishes, a Christian reference to Christ and the Virgin Mary. This reflects a link with Pisces and Virgo, the signs directly opposite in the zodiac, also the association between Pisces and Christ and Virgo with Mary.
