the Twelfth Sign of the Zodiac
Pisces as the Ascendant Sign in Vedic Astrology (Mina in Sanskrit)
A Mutable Water Sign.
The twelfth Zodiac Sign of the Rashi Chakra, that is, the Vedic Horoscope, is ruled by the planet Jupiter. Jupiterian energy is expressed here as well through the expansiveness that is characteristic of this Planet. The Sign of Pisces is the “office” of the planet Jupiter, while the other Astrological Sign ruled by Him, namely Sagittarius, is His Home, with the typical mood of someone who is in their own house.
The characteristic traits of this “last” Astrological Sign are a good degree of sociability, love of spirituality and a sense of giving. Strong emotionality can also operate here, generating confusion and difficulty in seeing clearly. There is a strong need to remain centred.
Those born under the Sign of Pisces enjoy being engaged in work, are active but also rich in imagination. They are also caring, compassionate, emotional and sensitive to the lives of others. They rarely hurt anyone; it is not in their nature to hurt. They are strongly inclined to help others at work as well as in everyday life in general. Love, for those born under this Astrological Sign, is a miracle that is renewed every day.
In this Zodiac Sign, the planet Venus is exalted and when this Planet transits this Astrological Sign at the Ascendant, there is unconditional love towards the world and a marked sensuality.
As always, it is extremely important to evaluate the planetary configuration in the Horoscope. An in-depth analysis of the Natal Chart tells the karmic path of the Person and the seeds that they have scattered where they have lived. An adverse combination of Planets, a strong malefic Planet positioned in a crucial House, or the Moon positioned in a difficult Nakshatra, can completely alter the meanings and symbols described so far.
The impulse to become wandering monks with confused ideas may emerge in this Astrological Sign if the Natal Chart presents strong disharmonies.
Vedic Astrology is an ancient science, a robust Wisdom that has grown over the centuries and been strengthened by Time for modern Counselling.
This Astrology of ancient India illuminates the projection of our Path, the trajectory of our life, in order to understand our Karma and our Dharma, that is, that complex of laws and necessities that we ourselves have established throughout our long journey on this Planet Earth and which, in every incarnation, we must rediscover until a state of elevated Consciousness is reached, namely total Awareness.
