The Latin term for “fishes” is “pisces.” The two fish first appeared on an Egyptian coffin lid around 2300 BC, making it one of the oldest zodiac signs known.
Pisces depicts the fish, sometimes portrayed by a shark, into which Aphrodite (also known as Venus) and her son Eros (also known as Cupid) turned in order to flee the demon Typhon, according to one Greek tale. Gaia had sent Typhon, the “father of all monsters,” to attack the gods, prompting Pan to warn the others before transforming into a goat-fish and diving into the Euphrates. In Manilius’ five-volume lyrical work Astronomica, a similar narrative, in which the fish “Pisces” save Aphrodite and her son from danger, is retold: “Venus ow’d her safety to their Shape.” Another urban legend claims that an egg landed in the Euphrates River. The fish then rolled it to the shore. Doves sat on the egg until it hatched, and Aphrodite emerged. Aphrodite threw the fish into the starry sky as a gesture of thanks to the fish. The constellation Pisces was also known as “Venus et Cupido,” “Venus Syria with Cupidine,” “Venus cum Adone,” “Dione,” and “Veneris Mater,” the latter being the formal Latin name for mother, due to these traditions.
The Greek myth of Pisces’ genesis has been highlighted by English astrologer Richard James Morrison as an example of myths that emerged from the original astrological teaching, and that the “original aim ofwas thereafter distorted both by poets and priests.”

What is the zodiac signs’ age order?
Hello, lovely individuals! Are you ready for a little Chart Harmony with The Astrologer’s Daughter? Yay!
Yes, indeed, baby! Each zodiac sign has an age range linked with it, and we’re going to lay it all out right now. Let’s start with Aries and work our way through the zodiac, sign by sign, to grasp the spiritual age.
Aries: 17 is a time when everything is brand fresh. Have you ever watched a puppy for the first time discover EVERYTHING? Welcome to the Aries’ impetuous, exuberant, no-emotion-left-unspoken childhood joy. Lack of familiarity with something does not imply a lack of confidence in trying something new! Isn’t that how we learn?
7-14 Taurus
When everything that belongs to me is mine. Consider the adolescent who must learn to share after finally declaring what is vital to them to keep in the first place. This is how Taurus feels. Pleasures of the earth. Material goods are acquired. Sharing takes time.
When I do what I want when I want, I’m a Gemini. Isn’t this when people truly declare their individuality? It’s time to take a stand. It’s time to show up in the world in whichever way seems appropriate to you. It’s okay to doubt yourself at first, but you’ll eventually find yourself. It’s time to find your voice and use it. Gemini, Gemini, Gemini, Gemini, Gemini, Gemini, Gemini, Gemini
Cancer: 2128, when I discover who I truly am. Age 28 Epiphany, you’ve arrived just in time. Cancers are all about finding their place in the world, choosing loyalties (maybe abandoning biological family in favor of a new family), and feeling comfortable in their own skin (or shell).
Leo: 2835when I couldn’t care less what you think of me. It’s all about “take it or leave it for the Leo mood” after the Age 28 epiphany. I’m who I’m supposed to be. There’s no denying what feels wonderful in the way Leos express themselves, and they make no apologies for it.
3542 Virgo
When duty takes precedence over want. The Virgo is delighted to show up every day to perform the detail work required to create stability in life, just like the worker bee who knows it’s time to make adult choices, plan for the future, and provide for the family.
When collaboration reigns supreme, Libra: 4249. At this age, you realize that you’re stronger together than you are alone. Enough to realize that pairing isn’t a sacrifice. Libra enjoys a good +1 and isn’t as concerned with the glitz and glam that younger signs crave in a relationship.
When the midlife crisis strikes, Scorpio is 4956. Scorpios may feel impotent in the face of life’s larger picture. They understand that time is a figment of their imagination, and they seek simple, unadulterated pleasure to help them cope with the stress of their existential crisis.
5663 Sagittarius
when the big picture becomes clear You know how it feels when you’re creating value for the larger good? In the cosmic age range, that’s Sag. There’s something bigger than all of this… and Sag invests in it because he knows it’s bigger than the present.
When building and appreciating gain equal time in Capricorn, 6370. There’s no use in making all that great things if we can’t take a step back and appreciate what we’ve accomplished. The Capricorn, eager to put in the effort, will set an example for the rest of the globe in terms of how to love what they’ve created.
When the chill level rises to a new level, Aquarius: 7077. The Aquarius, detached yet invested, intelligent yet whimsical, wise yet childlike, knows what it’s like to sit alone on a hill and has no qualms about doing so… in front of an audience or not.
7784 Pisces
When the human form is no longer important. Any Pisces would tell you that they prefer to spend their time in a parallel reality that they have built. One of a number of options. They’re going to futures that don’t exist and pasts that didn’t happen. For our oldest sign, dreams are a given… because why would they be otherwise?
Finally, there’s a fundamental overlay to all of this in terms of OUR age and the tone of the direction we’re taking. We’re in water in the womb and during childhood. We’re in the air from infancy till our early twenties. We’re on Earth from the mid-twenties to the mid-sixties. We’re on fire from 60 onwards!
Oh wonderful one, how does this chronology fit into your life? If you’re a member of my Aligned Advantage subscription, we can continue to talk about this in our weekly Zoom. And, of course, in the comments section below.
As always, I hope you’ll stay in touch, share your new connection with time, and, most importantly, continue to invest in your relationship with yourself! You’re causing so many wonderful things to happen, and it’s so much fun to watch!
What is the first sign of the zodiac?
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are the 12 zodiac signs in order. Each zodiac sign has a symbol that dates back to Middle Ages Greek manuscripts. Let’s look at the zodiac symbols, constellations, and qualities in more detail.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The ram is the constellation that represents Aries, the first of the twelve zodiac signs. You are adventurous, active, ambitious, and competitive if you were born under this sign. Aries are recognized for their agility and leadership abilities, as well as a tendency to be impetuous and blunt (due to the “fire” aspect).
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus is the second of the twelve zodiac signs, and the constellation Taurus represents it. You are dedicated, dependable, focused, and creative if you were born under this sign. Tauruses are noted for their intelligence, trustworthiness, and stubbornness (the sign is a bull, after all). Tauruses are notorious for questioning authority and seeking pleasure.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The constellation Gemini, which is made up of the Dioscurithe twins, Castor and Pollux, represents Gemini, the third of the twelve zodiac signs. You are active, expressive, intellectual, and playful if you were born under this sign. Geminis are recognized for their gregarious personalities and diverse interests, yet they have a (probably undeserved) reputation for being duplicitous.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The constellation Cancer, which is most typically pictured as a crab, represents Cancer, the fourth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are brave, empathetic, protective, and perceptive. Cancers are noted for their tendency to be remote and passive-aggressive, as well as their caring nature.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
The lion is the constellation that represents Leo, the fifth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are vivacious, extroverted, and fiery if you were born under this sign. Leos are known for their warm personalities and high self-esteem, but they can be proud or jealous at times.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The virgin is the constellation that represents Virgo, the sixth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are practical, analytical, and sophisticated if you were born under this sign. Virgos are recognized for their generosity and meticulous attention to detail, yet they may also be introverted and have unrealistic expectations for themselves and their loved ones.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
The scales, the only inanimate constellation, represents Libra, the seventh of the twelve zodiac signs. You are thought to be balanced, social, and diplomatic if you were born under this sign. Libras are recognized for their selflessness and camaraderie, although they can be overly pragmatic and insecure at times.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio is the eighth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the scorpion constellation. You are loyal, resourceful, and dedicated if you were born under this sign. Scorpios are recognized for their boldness and pioneering spirit, but they may be abrasive and walled off to strangers.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
The archer is the constellation that represents Sagittarius, the ninth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are cheerful, self-reliant, and intellectual. Sagittariuses are noted for their magnetic qualities and generosity, yet they can also be arrogant and direct.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Capricorn is the tenth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the sea goat constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are patient, hardworking, and disciplined. Capricorns are recognized for their tenacity and fondness for boundaries and regulations, but they may be stubborn and too concerned with perfection.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Aquarius is the eleventh of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the water carrier constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are thought to be creative, loyal, and unique. Aquariuses are recognized for their rebellious temperament and ingenuity, but they can be aloof and unyielding with loved ones.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces is the last of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the fishes constellation. You are intuitive, artistic, and sympathetic if you were born under this sign. Pisces are famed for their empathy and artistic abilities, yet they can also be overly sensitive or delusional.
Is Aquarius the oldest of the zodiac signs?
Aquarius is a Zodiac constellation and one of the oldest known constellations. Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer, first recorded Aquarius in the second century. Its Latin name means “cup carrier” or “water bearer.”
What are the three most important indications in my life?
Your Sun sign, Moon sign, and rising sign, also known as ascending sign, are the three most important places in your birth chart. Your Sun sign is the foundation of your personality and who you are as a person. Your Moon sign indicates your emotional side and who you are when you’re alone. Finally, your rising sign is the initial impression others get of you and how you appear on the outside.
How long did the Pisces Age last?
Astrologers agree that astrological ages last about 2000 years, and we’ve been in the age of Pisces for the past two millennia.
What is the last sign of the zodiac?
The water sign Pisces is the zodiac’s final constellation. Two fish swimming in opposite directions are used to depict Pisces’ continual divide of attention between fantasy and reality. As the last sign, Pisces has absorbed all of the lessons gained by the other signs, including the pleasures and sorrows, hopes and anxieties. As a result, these fish are the astrological wheel’s most intuitive, empathic, and caring creatures. Pisces can quickly become engulfed by emotions because to their high sensitivity, therefore they must remember to stay grounded in the material realm (appropriately, Pisces rules the feet).
What is the astrological sign that everyone despises?
Gemini is the most despised zodiac sign. Gemini is an intriguing sign, and because it is symbolized by twins, it combines two extremes, resulting in a tumultuous personality. The truth is that with Gemini folks, you never know what to anticipate.
Is Aquarius the most uncommon zodiac sign?
The 12 zodiac signs each have their own set of personality qualities and are unique in their own way (they each even have a corresponding tarot card and connection to your health). Nothing, however, compares to being the rarest. You might be wondering what the rarest zodiac sign is.
Aquarius is the sign that persons born between January 20 and February 18 belong to. “There are the least amount of births in January and February, making Aquarius the rarest zodiac sign, says Lisa Stardust, a New York Citybased astrologer and author of Saturn Return Survival Guide: Navigating This Cosmic Rite of Passage.
