About
It is the last sign of the zodiac. It’s shown by a symbol of two fish. In Latin, it just means fish. Jupiter is the planet that rules this sign, and it’s a mutable water sign. Some astrologers believe that the Age of Pisces began during the Common Era and will last until about 2150.
History
This zodiac appears on Egyptian sarcophagus lids around 2300 BC, so it is considered one of the oldest zodiac signs. In Greek stories, it is associated with a fish, perhaps a shark, that Aphrodite and her son Eros were transformed into to escape the monster Typhon.
