With the Sun in Pisces, you relate to life with your emotions and your instinct, rather than your reason. Like the ocean, which is Pisces' natural area, you resent borders and boundaries, seeing life as one great whole. You do not pigeon hole existence into good and bad or black and white and you are more aware than any sign of all its delicate, varies shades of significance.
Also like the ocean, you are hard to understand or pin down and you need to dream to preserve contact with the well-springs of your own being. For it is through your dreams and intuitions that your real creative motivation comes.
You are also highly sensitive to others' feelings and your consideration and your understanding for suffering is philosophical. Because you soak up the atmosphere around you with such effortlessness, it can be easy for more ambitious, tougher people to take advantage of your compassion and kind-heartedness. You also tend to be at the mercy of your moods, which can change from sun to rain and back to sun again without much warning.

Your ruling planet
The ruling planet of your personal chart is the one that rules your Rising Sign. However, if Pisces is your Sun Sign, its ruler, Neptune, will also play an significant role in your psychology.

Sun Sign Legends
The two fishes of Pisces date back to the first light of civilisation on the banks of the Euphrates river. In the temples of the goddess Atagartis and her son- lover, Ichthys, there were sacred fish ponds.
Like Christ, Ichthys died and was reborn. There are many contacts between this pagan cult and Christianity - Christ, the Fisher of Men, was known as Ichthys - fish - in early Christian times. In astrology, the last two thousand years have been the Age of Pisces and the combination of the two great planets, Jupiter and Saturn, which occurred in Pisces, may have been the Star of Bethlehem. Pisces lies between Aquarius and Aries on the zodiac chart.

Red roses, dandelions and carnations are the flowers of Jupiter, the planet of the King of the Gods, which shares joint ruler ship of Pisces with the watery Neptune, whose flower is the water lily. Your herbs are lemon balm, borage, costmary, hyssop, sage and clary sage. Your trees are the great oak, from which Jupiter gave oracles, and the beech. Neptune's trees are the fir, pine and alder.
Your essential oils are lemon balm, clary sage and rose, which help to balance Pisces' sensitive emotions, and the inspirational, stimulating pine, which brings clarity and energy.

Pearls and coral, the jewels of the sea, belong to Pisces. The pearl is the symbol of purity and modesty, bringing calmness and determination to its wearer. It is also 'the pearl of great price', the alchemists' symbol of spiritual growth and excellence, produced by the long quest for self-awareness enlightenment. Coral, which was believed to calm tempests, brings tranquil and wisdom, helping to strengthen and balance its wearer and giving courage. Both pearls and coral strengthen Pisces's powerful instinct and their natural compassion with others, putting them in touch with the well springs of their being.
