The zodiac signs

Pisces: The Fish

Pisces at a glance: dates, element, mode, ruling planet, and what the sign is really like.

4 min read

Pisces is the zodiac’s dreamer, porous to feeling, art and the unseen. It drifts between worlds and meets others with deep, almost boundary-less compassion.

The basics

  • Symbol: The Fish
  • Dates: Feb 19 to Mar 20
  • Element: Water
  • Mode: Mutable
  • Ruling planet: Neptune (traditionally Jupiter)

Every water sign shares a way of being: feeling, intuitive and receptive; it moves with emotion and depth. And as a mutable sign, Pisces adapts: it flexes, blends and changes with conditions.

Spin the wheel to see Pisces among the other eleven signs.

Its ruling planet is Neptune, which governs dreams and longing. That ruler is a big part of why Pisces feels the way it does.

Born under Pisces? Remember it’s only your Sun sign. Your Moon, your rising sign and every other planet add their own colour, which is what a full birth chart shows.
