Pisces is the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac — the negative sign of Jupiter, the feet of the cosmic man. As sign no. 12, it shows the complete display of all possibilities but not necessarily their proper integration, absorbing the essence of all signs that precede it. This grants Pisceans a rare universality — an ability to identify with people across all walks of life. Governed by Jupiter in Vedic astrology, the sign embodies expansion of spirit, faith, and dharmic purpose. Deeply intuitive and emotionally porous, Pisces lives at the boundary between the material world and subtle realms. The dual fish swimming in opposite directions reflects an inner tension between worldly engagement and transcendence.

Meena Rashi in English is Pisces — the 12th sign of the Vedic zodiac, covering roughly February 19 – March 20. It is a water sign of mutable modality, ruled by Jupiter and symbolised by the Two Fish swimming in opposite directions.

The sign represents the culmination of the soul's journey through all twelve signs. Themes of surrender, faith (shraddha), dissolution of ego, and union with the divine are central.
