Origin of Pisces
Pisces is depicted by two playful fish, frolicking head-to-tail in a counter-clockwise direction, although it is also shown as two fish facing opposite directions linked by a band. Egyptian astrologers believed the constellation Pegasus was a boat that pulled the two fish underneath it—hence the band.
In Greek astrology, the Pisces story is similar to that of Capricorn. Venus and Cupid were supposedly playing innocently by a river when they were approached by a monster (the same one, in fact, that threatened Capricorn). Like Capricorn, they dove into the river for safety, at which time the goddess Minerva took pity on them and lifted them into the heavens for posterity.
The significant aspects to this myth are many. First of all, Venus represents pure love and Cupid mischief in romance, both of which are strongly present in the Piscean character. Secondly, the two were saved by water—hence Pisces is a water sign, occurring during the time of year when rainfall is most plentiful. In fact, Jesus Christ was born in the Piscean age (time itself travels through ages of the zodiac which affect us all), promised to wash away man’s sins, and is often represented by a fish; he also fed multitudes of people with two fish and five loaves, magically turning them into twelve baskets of food, which astrologers believe to be symbolic of the Piscean trait of great spiritual love to all twelve zodiac signs. Finally, Minerva is the goddess of wisdom and patroness of the arts; so Pisceans are spiritually wise and immensely creative.
Pisces is ruled by both Jupiter and Neptune, both of which govern the imagination and emotions, as opposed to practical matters. As a result, Pisceans are the most sensitive, creative, and adaptable of all the signs, but the least organized. In the anatomical realm, Pisces rules the feet and toes, the foundation on which the entire body is supported. This is ironic, because Pisceans are not considered strong people, either physically or emotionally. But just as each sign is assigned a part of the body, so each is also assigned a stage of man’s life; the ancients believed that Aries’ immature selfishness resembles the first stage of childhood, and that therefore Pisces’ spiritual wisdom represents the final stage of maturity. Indeed, there is a great deal of strength—albeit a misunderstood one—in spiritual wisdom.

The Pisces Star Stone
Your starstone is the precious Moonstone. They are not brilliant stones, in fact, all of the specimens, from the peach and grays to the gem-quality blue and rainbow-colored pieces, are soft and translucent. The physical appearance of a stone often suggests its spiritual qualities, and moonstone’s most important attribute is the ability to assist us in calming and soothing the emotions. When one has achieved a state of emotional calmness, this stone may be used to open a path to an intuitive understanding of spirituality.
Starstones are not birthstones.
Stones that are called your starstones, (planet stones), vibrate the strongest to your planet or sign.

Sun Sign Compatibility: Pisces & Pisces
Both of you possess great sensitivity and sympathy, imagination and intuition. You can communicate and understand one another at a very deep level, which is rare and very satisfying for both of you.
Non-judgmental acceptance, tolerance, generosity, compassion, a love of beauty and peace - these are some of the positive qualities you share. You also have some less desirable potentials: passivity, hyper-sensitivity, a desire to escape rather than confront life and its challenges, and an inability to set boundaries or limits. Together you are likely to reinforce both the positive and negative potentials that both of you have.
COMPATIBILITY RATING: Bang-On
You share the same Sun signs. Your emotional natures are so similar, it’s uncanny. Your relationship is very intense.

Sun Sign Compatibility: Pisces & Aquarius
Both of you are very open-minded and tolerant toward new ideas, the unusual, and the unconventional. AQUARIUS, however, is much more cerebral than PISCES, who is essentially intuitive and emotional. While AQUARIUS is cool, rational, and always able to give excellent reasons for an opinion or position, PISCES is frequently unable to logically articulate the feeling, values and subtleties that color and shape personally-held attitudes or positions. Also, PISCES is a very sympathetic, compassionate person who feels the needs and pain of others very directly. AQUARIUS has a humanitarian outlook, but is often more concerned with principles and ideals, rather than with real people and their actual situations. AQUARIUS, in fact, is capable of considerable emotional detachment and objectivity, unlike PISCES, who is hopelessly subjective.
AQUARIUS is uncomfortable with too much emotion and dependency, and PISCES may want more intimacy, affection, and emotional closeness than AQUARIUS wants, or is capable of giving.
COMPATIBILITY RATING: Huh?
Your Sun signs are semi-sextile. You don’t really understand each other’s styles of expressing emotions. Your relationship requires some adjustments.

Sun Sign Compatibility: Pisces & Capricorn
You are opposites in many respects: CAPRICORN is practical and realistic, deals effectively with the demands and responsibilities of the work place, and has a serious, sometimes cynical attitude toward life. PISCES on the other hand, is a sensitive, imaginative dreamer at heart, far more emotional and empathic than CAPRICORN is. PISCES intuitively knows that there is much more to life than what can be measured in material, concrete terms. CAPRICORN is essentially a “doubting Thomas” who requires proof. Where PISCES tends to be gullible, CAPRICORN tends to be skeptical.
Also, CAPRICORN thrives on order and organization, while PISCES is frequently disorganized or more comfortable in an atmosphere of clutter and “creative chaos”.
Both of you have a certain reserve, depth, and tendency to introspection and you may have much to offer one another if you are willing to appreciate the differences between you.
COMPATIBILITY RATING: Harmonious
Your Sun signs are sextile. You appreciate one another’s emotional style. It’s easy to collaborate with one another.
