Pisces, the tweflth and last sign of the zodiac, is a mutable water sign. Pisces is said to be the most misunderstood, secretive and complex signs. The dichotomy in their natures is clearly represented by the glyph for Pisces, showing two fish swimming in opposite directions. The fish is a total underwater creature, indicating that Pisces feels comfortable completely submerged by water, and longs to explore the endless depths of the ocean, secret caverns, and hidden treasure. The Ocean is also said to be a prolific symbol for the unconscious, and they delight in retreating into a private fantasy world. Pisces is attuned to the deep undercurrents of the collective psyche, bound up in chaos and blurred reality, the fishes need to protect themselves from exploitation, and tend to give indiscriminately.

In Pisces there are no boundaries and no superiority amongst people, and they are concerned with universal truth, wholeness and unity. Famous for their escapist tendencies, Pisces tends to slip away from the harsher realities of life. Some Pisceans will tend to drift through life and can be vague and dreamy, and will ignore or "tune out" problems in the hope that they will go away. The tendency towards alcoholism and addiction, a condition usually linked to Pisces, and its ruler Neptune is really an expression of their powerful, unconscious longing to go back home. The notion of savior, martyr and redeemer all belong to the motif of Pisces.

In true chameleon fashion, Pisces is as changeable as the sea and they often flow with the current.The body is often experienced as a prison, and they regularly fall into illness and depression, instability and delusions. The individual born under the sign of Pisces is ultra sensitive, compassionate and kind, and on the surface they represent a delicate vulnerability and fragility. Pisceans have an otherworldly quality and truly empathetic nature, and are easily touched by the feelings and plights of others.

Pisces completes the phase of the four social signs, and dissolves all boundaries that existed.Pisceans are also known for their instincts and flood of emotional and imaginative in-pouring and out-pouring. Art, music, poetry and the imagination express the ‘hidden’ watery depths and the treasure lost and buried at the bottom of the sea. Creative outlets help to heal some of that ‘homesick’ feeling which they are so often afflicted with.
