Neptune
Symbolism:
The word 'Pisces' means fishes in Latin. The symbol for Pisces is the youngest symbol. In Babylonian astrology, this constellation was symbolized by 'the fish cord or ribbon', which likely symbolized the two rivers Tigris and Euphrates, with a knot representing the point at which they join before they flow into the gulf. In Greek mythology, Pisces is associated with Aphrodite and Eros who escaped from a monster by leaping into the sea and transforming themselves into fish. In order to not lose each other, they tied themselves with a cord.
In modern symbology, Pisces is represented by two fish swimming in unison, both with their mouths at the tail of the other. The two fish represent the integration and balancing of two polarities. The dance brings them in unison, symbolizing a cosmic oneness and unity. Their fishy nature symbolizes that they are swimming in the ocean of pure consciousness, transcending the physical dimension.
Glyph Pisces's glyph is a simplified drawing of two fishes, symbolized by the curved lines, held together by a cord, symbolized by the line between them.
Planetary Ruler Pisces's planetary ruler is Neptune, which is commonly associated with the nebulous creative and spiritual realm, imagination and fantasy, and transcendental experience. Neptune is the Roman god counterpart to the Greek god Poseidon. He was god of the sea, characterized by holding the double ended trident. The planet is also associated with the 'fog', including cloudy or confused thinking.
