Pisces in Jyotish
Pisces is the 12th sign of the zodiac, 30° from 330° to 360° of the sidereal zodiac. It is a water sign, dual (dvisvabhava), and ruled by Jupiter. In the body of the Kalapurusha, the cosmic person whose body is the zodiac, it is the feet.
Venus is exalted here (most strongly at 27°); Mercury is debilitated here (most deeply at 15°).
A dual sign adapts, combining both; a water sign is emotional and receptive. As your lagna or Moon sign, Pisces colours the whole chart with these qualities and with the nature of Jupiter.
