Were you born on March 9th? If so, then according to Western astrology, your zodiac sign is Pisces, the sign of the fishes. This means that when you were born, the Sun was in the stars that make up the constellation known as Pisces. Let's delve into the basics of your horoscope.
Pisces Overview
Pisces is known as "मीन (meena)" in Sanskrit, which translates to "fish." Each sign of the zodiac is characterized by certain basic traits. Let's explore the general makeup of the Pisces sign:
- Sign of the Fishes: Pisces natives are shy and soft-hearted. They often find themselves surrounded by loving friends.
- Ruled by Jupiter: Jupiter is the planet of wisdom, spirituality, wealth, and learning. Those influenced by Jupiter are religious and warm-hearted.
- A water sign: Those with a Pisces moon are perceptive, artistic, and sentimental.
- A dual sign: Persons born under this sign are adaptable and multi-talented.
- A feminine sign: This makes the native receptive, sensitive, and empathetic.
- Pisces's preferred gemstone is yellow sapphire: Pisceans can also benefit from yellow topaz and citrine.
Traits of the Sun in Pisces
In Western Astrology, a person's sign is determined by the position of the Sun. If you were born on March 9th, you are considered a Pisces. The influence of the Sun in your birth chart will vary depending on other factors, but here are some general traits likely to be found in a native whose Sun is in Pisces:
- You are a loyal friend: You stand by those who are close to you, even in times of difficulty. You genuinely care about the well-being of others.
- You easily attract the opposite sex: Your physical attractiveness, charm, and financial stability make you very popular, especially among the opposite sex.
- You can excel in water-related professions: Pisces is a water sign ruled by Jupiter. With the Sun in Pisces, you are likely to find success in fields related to water, boats, and other maritime professions.
- You may struggle with insecurity: Despite your successes and the favor of your friends and the public, you often focus on your weaknesses and imperfections. Your high ideals and tendency toward perfectionism contribute to this inner insecurity.
- You lead a fortunate life: Pisces is one of the most benefic signs of the Zodiac. You are likely to be wealthy, famous within your sphere of activity, and blessed with a beautiful family, although there is a risk of becoming involved in scandals.
Pisces Careers
Pisceans prefer working behind the scenes or in fields that allow them to help others. You are fortunate in life and unlikely to suffer from poverty. Here are some recommended careers for Pisces:
- Anything cultured or charitable: Artists, doctors, teachers, nurses, priests, nuns, monks, non-profit, or social justice workers.
- Careers to avoid: Pisceans are free-spirited and require professions that resonate with their creative and compassionate nature. Fields that are stifling or exploitative, such as office work or customer support at for-profit corporations, animal agriculture, tobacco, or pharmaceutical industries, may not suit you well.
Pisces Mantras
A mantra is a short phrase that uplifts and cleanses our mind, heart, and consciousness. It provides relief from suffering and negativity. Pisceans can benefit from meditating with the following mantra:
- ॐ वामनाय नमः (Om vamanaya namaha)
The Vedas contain many other mantras effective for different people depending on their unique circumstances. However, a universal mantra that benefits people born in any zodiac sign is the Hare Krishna mantra:
- हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे (Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare Hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare)
