The Pisces Constellation
Pisces is a large but faint constellation located in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is one of the oldest recognized constellations, often depicted as a pair of fish tied together by their tails. In mythology, they represent Aphrodite and Eros who transformed into fish to escape the monster Typhon.
Pisceans are known for their empathetic, artistic, and gentle nature. Ruled by Neptune, they possess a profound imagination and a natural inclination towards spirituality and creativity. They are the healers and visionaries of the zodiac.
