Pisces

The final sign of the tropical zodiac, but the third in our collection, we've got Pisces! Pisces is a mutable sign ruled by Neptune and unsurprisingly with that watery planet, it is a true water sign. Pisces is represented by the fish, derived from the terrifying ichthyocentaurs (part man, part horse, part fish), who aided Aphrodite when she was born from the sea.

As a mutable sign, Pisces is considered to be flexible, adaptable and can thrive on change. They can be seen as flaky or not grounded in reality, often having rose-colored glasses on and a penchant for escapism but Pisces is also a good mirror to friends and people around them. They explore and adjusts to the feelings of others around them, often offering advice, information or sympathy (whichever is most appropriate). Unsurprisingly, a lot of musicians and artists are Pisces or have a Pisces stellium in their chart. 

Pisces is considered a very heavenly sign, which may be a coincidence with us being  in the astrological age of Pisces and will be until 2150 CE. This concurs with the birth of Christ, which is why you see Christ associated with so many fish lol. 

I feel like there's a lot more I could say about Pisces but then we're getting into weirdo territory on my part, lol. Pisces is the sister sign of Virgo (my sun, moon, Mercury and Venus...) the mutable earth sign, so I generally vibe pretty well with a Pisces. 

Our Pisces yarn is a blend of silver grey, purple, turquoise, and mallard green with navy blue speckles.
