Pisces Lagna
Pisces is the 12th sign of the zodiac, symbolising the culmination of spiritual evolution. It is the sign of the Ṛṣis and Mokṣa (emancipation). Represented by two fishes facing each other's tails, this symbol signifies eternity and an endless ocean. People born under Pisces typically have a short to medium height, a solid or heavy build, rounded shoulders, a large face, and a fair complexion. They are recognised for their sweet speech and fish-like eyes.
Individuals born under Pisces are strongly influenced by Jupiter, Venus, and Ketu. Jupiter rules the sign, Venus is exalted here, and Ketu's Mūlatrikona (power position) is also found in this sign. Pisces embodies peace, symbolised by the vast ocean, and represents charity, generosity, wisdom, purity, Brahmanical duties (hindu priestly duties), religiousness, and spirituality. It is also associated with Mokṣa, being the 12th sign in the Kālapuruṣa chart (natural zodiac chart).
A Pisces-born person is known for being sensitive, friendly, easy-going, well-mannered, kind, generous, sociable, and imaginative, influenced by Venus. Due to their Jalatattva (water element), they tend to be emotional, compassionate, sympathetic, and helpful. They possess intuition and receptivity due to Ketu's influence, and their dignity is heightened by the blessings of Jupiter and Venus. These individuals are naturally inclined toward healing. While those born under Dhanu focus on the subtle aspects of the Vedas, such as the Upanishads, Pisces individuals are drawn to the ritualistic side and are ceremonious (Karmakāṇḍi) (performing traditional ritualistic practices)..
Key Traits of Pisces Individuals:
Good fortune.
A prominent nose but not widely open eyes, visible lips and teeth, and an afflicted face.
A deep interest in profound knowledge, poetry, Vedas, music, and sexual union.
Respectability.
Fame.
Potential for skin conditions like leprosy.
Courteous, gentle, pure in conduct, and modest.
Virtuous and charitable.
Trustworthy.
Associated with goats.
Courageous and strong.
More daughters than sons.
Benefiting from brothers.
Having good relatives.
Good Fortune
The person is fortunate (dhanya), with good fortune emanating from the 9th house, governed by Mars, which channels his power into the 11th house of gains. This indicates that people of this Lagna experience prosperity and fortune, blessed by divine beings and positive past-life karma (9th house). However, the 9th lord in the 5th house suggests that good fortune may not support a prosperous future or provide strong blessings for children.
Physical Appearance
The Pisces-born individual typically has a prominent nose, but their eyes are not widely open. They have visible lips and teeth and may have an afflicted face due to the negative influence of Śani in the 2nd house, which governs the face. The impact of Śani varies depending on its placement in the chart. If positively placed, it will show beneficial qualities in the 8th house, but if negatively placed, unfavourable effects manifest in the 2nd house. The exposed lips and teeth are influenced by Ketu’s presence, as Pisces is Ketu's Mūlatrikona, which can reduce the size of the teeth.
Interests and Knowledge
Pisces individuals have a profound interest in knowledge, poetry, the Vedas (scriptures), music, and sexual union. These preferences are influenced by the 5th house of the inner mind, ruled by the Moon. The positive influence of Jupiter and the negative influence of Mars on the 5th house shape their inclinations. Moon signifies love, romance, music, and poetry, while the positive energy from Jupiter fosters a love for profound knowledge. If Mars is weak or afflicted, negative traits like irritability and vengefulness may arise. Venus, exalted in the Lagna (ascendant), also enhances their inclination towards profound knowledge and oratorical abilities, fostering a natural aptitude for occultism and metaphysics.
Skin Conditions
The individual may suffer from skin conditions like leprosy (kuṣṭhi), caused by the negative influence of Mercury and Mars. Mercury, as the significator of skin, combined with Mars' inimical influence, can cause skin inflammation. Moon, governing Jalatattva, must also be afflicted for leprosy to manifest. The combination of Śani, Rāhu, or Ketu with these factors can lead to skin disorders, although leprosy is rare in modern times. Pisces-born individuals are generally more prone to such conditions due to Mercury’s negative influence on the Lagna.
Respect and Honour
Pisces individuals are often respected and honoured. Respect and honor are linked to the Lagna and the 10th house, which represent one's identity and reputation. Venus, the lord of the 3rd and 8th houses, bestows fame and recognition. The person is often a leader of the masses, with the 10th lord’s influence in the 5th house of followers. To attain respect and honor, Venus, Jupiter, and Ketu must be strong in the Kundali, as these planets bring virtue and recognition.
Wealth and Cattle
The person may be blessed with cattle. Cattle, connected to the Taurus Sign and the 6th house, may signify wealth in the form of cattle or other related commodities like firearms or weapons. With Moon in Taurus and the 5th house ruling planning, the individual may excel in finance or investment banking. The person’s wealth could also be symbolically linked to Taurus, such as involvement with cattle-related businesses or the agricultural industry.
Direction and Success
The person tends to move in the southern direction or may achieve success in that direction. Mars, along with the Earth element signs—Taurus, Kanya, and Makara—governs the southern direction. Success in this direction is enhanced by the strength of Mars, the 9th lord of fortune, in the 11th house of gains. This indicates substantial gains and support from elders, with profits derived from Mars’s influence, such as real estate and benefits from the southern direction.
Fame and Virtue
Pisces-born individuals are likely to attain fame, as the Lagna governs reputation and fame. Planets like Sun, Moon, and Jupiter, which are sattvic in nature, contribute to the individual’s recognition. When the Lagnesa Jupiter is strong, the individual is often found in scholarly or virtuous circles. The strength of the Lagnesa and the placement of the Sun and Moon in favorable positions will bring fame and recognition, especially if they are in their own, exalted, or Mūlatrikona signs.
Trustworthiness
The person is trustworthy, influenced by Mercury, the significator of trustworthiness and innocence. Mercury rules the 4th house, representing the heart, and radiates its positivity onto the 7th house of relationships. These individuals naturally form trustworthy friendships unless Mercury is weak or afflicted in the chart.
Association with Goats
The person may be associated with goats (though at present times it is not prevalent). For Pisces, Aries rules the 2nd house of finances, symbolising goats. Wealth is linked to the sign in the 2nd house, as well as the conjunction or aspect of other planets. Even if the person is not directly associated with goats, their wealth may be symbolically connected to Aries, such as in businesses related to goats or sheep, or places located in mountainous regions.
Refined and Gentle Nature
Pisces individuals are courteous, gentle, pure in conduct, and modest. They are among the most refined in the zodiac, as Pisces represents fully evolved consciousness. Venus, the planet of beauty and refinement, enhances their taste and manners, making them naturally inclined toward beauty and spirituality.
Courage and Determination
Pisces individuals are courageous, mighty, and determined. Venus, ruling the 3rd house of courage, and Mars, governing the 9th house of destiny, suggest that they are supported by divine providence during challenges. Their bravery emerges when they are pushed to their limits, though they are naturally peaceful due to the influence of the Moon and Jupiter on the 5th house.
Daughters and Sons
Pisces individuals are likely to have more daughters than sons. This is indicated by Cancer in the 5th house, which usually results in many children, especially daughters. Cancer is a feminine sign ruled by a feminine planet and represents motherhood, suggesting that children will grow up to be mothers.
Intellectual and Charitable
Pisces-born individuals are modest, humble, peaceful, and endowed with strength. Their intellect is guided in the right direction by Jupiter's influence in the 5th house. They are highly gentle and charitable, all due to the beneficial influence of Jupiter and Venus.
Amorous Nature
A unique feature of Pisces-born individuals is their amorous nature, similar to a Gandharva. Gandharvas, divine musicians, are known for their love of music, entertainment, and romantic pursuits. These traits are influenced by the effects of Venus in the Lagna and the 7th lord Mercury in the 7th house of courtship.
The traits and qualities of a Pisces Ascendant described above are general in nature. The influence of planets in specific Nakshatras (constellations) can alter the outcomes. If you wish to have your horoscope analysed, feel free to contact us.
