Zodiac tarot
Pisces and The Moon
The tarot card for Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) is The Moon. Its ruling planet, Neptune (modern) / Jupiter (traditional), corresponds to The Hanged Man, and its element, Water, to the suit of Cups.
Why Pisces is The Moon
Pisces closes the zodiac in the realm of dreams and dissolving boundaries, and The Moon is the card of the unconscious, imagination and illusion. Both are deeply intuitive and creative, and both must learn to tell intuition from fear.
Shadows and half-truths blur the landscape ahead. Move slowly and rely on deep intuition rather than surface appearances.

Pisces in love
In love, Pisces is romantic and devoted. Its modern ruler Neptune links to The Hanged Man: love that asks for surrender, and healthy boundaries.
Ruling planet and element
Pisces is ruled by Neptune (modern) / Jupiter (traditional), which corresponds to The Hanged Man; many readers treat it as a second card for Pisces. As a water sign, Pisces also shares the temperament of the fourteen cards in the suit of Cups.
A practice
Keep a dream journal for two weeks; it helps you separate genuine intuition from anxiety.
