Introduction
Have you ever wondered what your zodiac sign reveals about you? If you were born on March 17th, then according to Western astrology, you are a Pisces, the sign of the fishes. Let's dive into the basics of your horoscope and unlock the secrets of your personality.
Pisces Overview
Pisces, known as "मीन" (meena) in Sanskrit, symbolizes the fish. Each zodiac sign is characterized by certain traits, including their symbol, planetary ruler, element, nature, and gender. Here's what makes up the Pisces sign:
- Symbol of the Fishes: Pisces natives are known for their shyness and soft-heartedness. They are often found surrounded by a circle of loving friends.
- Ruled by Jupiter: Jupiter, the planet of wisdom, spirituality, wealth, and learning, governs those born under Pisces. Jupiterians are religious and warm-hearted.
- A Water Sign: Individuals with a Pisces moon are perceptive, artistic, and sentimental.
- A Dual Sign: Pisces signifies adaptability and multi-talented qualities.
- A Feminine Sign: The feminine energy makes Pisces natives receptive, sensitive, and empathetic.
- Preferred Gemstone: Yellow sapphire is the favored gemstone of Pisces. Yellow topaz and citrine can also bring benefits.
Traits of the Sun in Pisces
In Western Astrology, a person's zodiac sign is determined by the position of the Sun at the time of their birth. For those born on March 17th, being a Pisces means you possess the following general traits:
- You are a loyal friend: You stand by your loved ones through thick and thin, valuing the importance of true friendship and caring deeply about others.
- You have a magnetic charm: Your physical attractiveness, charm, and financial stability make you popular, particularly among the opposite sex.
- You excel in water-related professions: With Pisces being a water sign ruled by Jupiter, you are likely to achieve success in professions related to water, boats, and maritime activities.
- You may battle with insecurity: Despite your wealth, popularity, and the support of your friends and the public, you often struggle with inner insecurity. Your high ideals and perfectionistic tendencies cause you to focus on your weaknesses rather than your natural talents and strengths.
- You lead a fortunate life: Pisces is one of the most benefic signs of the Zodiac. You are likely to enjoy wealth, recognition within your field, and a beautiful family. However, be cautious of potential scandals.
