Pisces decans — three divisions within one sign
A sign spans thirty degrees, so the Sun sits nearly twenty degrees apart at the start and the end of the same sign. Classical astrology split that span into three ten-degree decans and assigned each one a different ruler drawn from the same element.
Decan 1
0°~10°
2.19~2.28
Sub-ruler: Neptune
Neptune doubled gives the deepest sensitivity and imagination. Taking things in without a boundary is what feeds the artistic capacity. It also means being swept along easily, and a fixed habit of checking one's own state works as a breakwater.
Decan 2
10°~20°
3.1~3.10
Sub-ruler: Moon
The Moon turns empathy into concrete care. What someone needs is noticed first and acted on. Looking after others tends to push this decan's own feelings to the back of the queue, and the same care is owed inward.
Decan 3
20°~30°
3.11~3.20
Sub-ruler: Pluto
Pluto sets a hard core inside the softness. The surface stays flexible while the decisive moment finds this decan immovable. A tendency to record injury deeply comes with it, so the step of working through and closing off should not be skipped.
Pisces compatibility — the other eleven signs
The elements (fire, earth, air, water) set the baseline, but even within one element the cardinal, fixed and mutable qualities change the texture. Each pairing below is read on its own terms.

The following draws on mythology and observational astronomy, separate from the personality reading above.
Myth and origin
Aphrodite and her son Eros turned into fish to escape the monster Typhon and dived into a river. To avoid losing one another they tied their tails together with a cord, and the constellation still shows two fish joined by a band. Binding themselves in advance against separation sits close to the emotional register of Pisces.
Finding it in the night sky
Faint stars stretched over a wide area make this a demanding naked-eye target. The one recognisable feature is the Circlet, a small ring of stars marking the head of one fish. Sweep below the Great Square of Pegasus on an autumn evening to find it.
A common misconception
This is where the phrase Age of Aquarius comes from. Precession currently places the vernal equinox in Pisces, and within a few centuries it will cross into Aquarius. Astronomically we are still in the Piscean age, and the exact handover date differs between authorities because it depends on where you draw the constellation boundary.

Exactly when Pisces begins and ends
Pisces period (KST)
| Year | Begins | Ends |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Feb 18, 19:07 | Mar 20, 18:01 |
| 2026 | Feb 19, 00:52 | Mar 20, 23:46 |
| 2027 | Feb 19, 06:33 | Mar 21, 05:25 |
Ingress times are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris. Pisces begins the instant the Sun reaches 330° of ecliptic longitude.
Born on the cusp?
In 2026, Pisces runs from Feb 19, 00:52 to Mar 20, 23:46. Anyone born before that opening moment belongs to the previous sign, Aquarius; anyone born after it is Pisces. If your birthday falls on a boundary date, you need your time of birth to settle it.
Pisces begins at the same moment as Rain Water in the 24 solar terms, and ends at Spring Equinox.
