Neptune is one of the co ruling planets of Pisces. Prior to its discovery in 1846, Jupiter was considered as the ruling planet of Pisces. Both planets are now considered by most modern astrologers as co rulers of this sign.

Neptune is understood to be the planet of mystery and illusion! Its planetary activity is understood to determine mankind's destiny, and increase our conscious awareness! Neptune's influence asks us to use our higher mind, to invite the healing of our thoughts in order to gain pure and clear perspectives. It urges us to practice compassion toward our fellow man, and wants us to use our spiritual connect powers in order to benefit!

Neptune symbolizes all that is soft, sensitive, imaginative, and illusionary! Its calmness delivers clarity. It holds no limits as to how far our spirited imaginations can soar. Dreams and meditative trances are often the avenues it uses to perpetuate its magical qualities. Neptune's influence also governs universal caring and rehabilitation, whether it for the sick, elderly, or those who have lost their way. It wants for our world to be fair, loving and just, and wishes for equality and universal kindness!

Neptune specializes in the art of illusion. When it decides to lift its facade of mystery, its influence can capture the hearts of many, and playfully accept all the compliments that follow. It is considered the ruling influence of the glitz and glamour side to life. Industries associated with film, television, fashion, and theatre are all influenced by Neptune's creativity. When in full flight, Neptune's influence can be so strong, that its glamour and gentle beauty can stop us in our tracks!

Neptune prompts for escapism from the realities of life! Apart from all the beautiful aspects, this escapism can also manifest in quite different forms when life is not so easy. Neptune can open us to our own inner troubles, as well as the pain of others. This can easily bring on exaggerated and confused emotional distress. Its influence may even make martyrs of us. This is quite notable when we see people suffering as a result of their over sensitivity and self illusion. In fact, a hypochondriac Pisces is a great example of this negative escapism at work. Hiding from the world will not achieve anything! It will only prolong and intensify the self perpetuating agony within! Such delusional behavior can also lead to delving into the darker side of the psychic worlds such as black magic!

Neptune is the second of the transcendental planets and prompts for higher levels of thought and humanitarian changes. It is the second farthest planet from the Sun, and its orbit takes about 165 years to complete. That represents an average of 14 years at a time in each of the signs, which influences the generation of the time. Its influence prompts greater use of our intellect, our imaginations, and for further understanding of the enigmatic and mysterious mystical worlds!

Jupiter

Co Ruling Planet of Pisces

Jupiter is the co ruling planet of Pisces. It is understood to greatly influence creativity of thought and the highest level of conceptual learning, on both intellectual and spiritual levels! It prompts for the exploration of ideas, and is not at all restricted by earthly boundaries when it puts its energy amongst us. Spiritually, it urges for us to connect with each other globally using the power of our ideas! Jupiter is the biggest and the first of the massive gaseous outer planets, signifying a leading ability to venture farther than we are used to. Its influence spreads as it prompts us to search for unknown and greater opportunities!

Jupiter's size alone denotes a dominating effect! It prompts the use of philosophy, learning, wisdom, faith, procedures, principles, and standards. Jupiter's influence prompts us to find the truth, or at least answers to questions deemed worthwhile. As Jupiter also governs travel, it urges us to take journeys of discovery, no matter how far away they take us. If we are able to put our ethical stances to rest, Jupiter will have done its job admirably. "Where there's a will there is a way" is a suitable motto when it comes to solving moral issues. Its influence is a positive one which wants us to grow strong in all aspects of mind and body.

Jupiter wants us to prosper and live a happy and healthy life. Jupiter's influence also offers us beneficial chances filled with untold fortune, generosity, and fun. Taking a chance can be an enjoyable experience, and Jupiter offers lots of optimism! If we become complacent or too assured of ourselves, its excessive nature can also undo itself. Jupiter is also capable of taking all the good fortune away quicker than we earned it. Understanding luck when it is given should be realized and shared if we are to keep its rewards. Once seemingly happy and secure, lazy is a very dangerous thing to be! It can sometimes cost everything!

Jupiter wants us to experience the outdoors and be active, in order to enjoy a rich and whole life experience. Sporting activities and even family picnics provide the relaxation Jupiter urges us to benefit from. Animals are also a favorite part of any family where Jupiter is concerned. Jupiter takes about twelve years to move through the twelve signs. Many people born in the same year may have similar outlooks and perspectives for their generations. That perpetuates a strong influence when it comes to current affairs, not to mention philosophies on current politics and active religions!
