What Is the Pisces Zodiac Sign, and When Does It Fall?
Pisces is the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac, represented by the Fish and ruled by Jupiter. In the Western tropical system, Pisces runs from 19 February to 20 March.
Sun Sign vs Your Real Rashi: How to Check Correctly
Your Western zodiac sign comes from a fixed calendar date. Your Vedic Rashi, Meena, is calculated from the Moon’s sidereal position at your exact birth time and place instead, shifting the effective date range compared to the Western system. A proper birth chart, not a date-only guide, is needed to confirm it.
Personality, Luck and Influences to Be Mindful Of
Pisces natives are traditionally described as compassionate, imaginative and intuitive, with a strong artistic and spiritual sensitivity — Jupiter’s influence shows up as empathy and creativity, though it can tip into escapism or difficulty setting boundaries. Lucky stone: Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj), associated with Jupiter. Lucky colours: sea green, yellow and white. Lucky deity: Vishnu and Brihaspati. Traditionally advised against: dark, heavy colours associated with Saturn, and avoiding difficult decisions for too long, which Pisces natives are cautioned tends to let problems drift rather than resolve.
Career and Business: What Suits Pisces
Fields built on creativity and compassion traditionally suit Pisces: the arts and music, healthcare and healing professions, spirituality-adjacent work, and social service. Pisces natives are generally advised to avoid harshly competitive, numbers-only environments with little room for empathy.
Compatibility: Marriage, Friendship and Where to Take Extra Care
Pisces traditionally pairs well with fellow water signs Cancer and Scorpio, and with earth signs Taurus and Capricorn, who offer the stability Pisces values. Matches with Gemini and Sagittarius are traditionally considered to need more patience, since both can feel too restless or blunt for Pisces’ sensitive nature — a general tendency, not a fixed rule for any real couple. For marriage, Vedic tradition recommends proper Guna Milan by a qualified astrologer over Sun-sign matching alone.
