INFLUENCE OF THE PLANET
Those born under Sagittarius and Pisces are the Jupiter type. You tend to be heavily built, have a high forehead with prominent eyes, slanting at the corners. You are quite pompous in your middle age and often not very ambitious, yet you manage to acquire comfortable riches during the course of your active career. Being just, honest, generous, self indulgent, sociable and talkative - these are your other hallmarks.


DECAN INSIGHT
Each zodiac sign extends across 30 degree of the Zodiac. These can be further subdivided into three decans of 10 degree each. Therefore, though all those born under a particular sign are classified under the same sign, the decans yield further insight into your total personality.

You belong to the First Decan of Pisces (February 19 - February 29).
You are ruled by the twin planets Jupiter and Neptune. Though it is a decan of power, it also denotes fixity of purpose and obstinacy which may sometimes be detrimental to you. It also makes you difficult to ignore. Fortune favors in middle age. Your life is eventful and full of sudden upsets. You also have spiritual and visionary qualities.


PISCES LOVE MYSTERY
As yours is a dual sign, one part of you seeks variety and glamour while the other appreciates a cloistered existence. This leads to a vivid love life and numerous love affairs and often a drifting apart. Your heart will break and mend many times. There is a great desire to give and receive love. You may not always be a devoted lover. Sometimes you may carry out your affairs in secret. You are not really meant for marriage, and often a Piscean may end up with the wrong partner. You need a mate who can fulfill your craving for sympathy and understanding and still be tough with you in a very gentle and persuasive way. This is not always easy to find. Cancer, Taurus and Capricorn make good partners.


SEXUAL CHARACTERISTICS
Sex plays an important role in the life of every man and woman. It lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to revere life until we know how to understand sex. Indian astrological science attributes certain sexual characteristics to persons according to the sign under which they have been born.

You are the shy type. However, once in a suitable mood and wooed, you make a good partner and enjoy sex too.


AS A FRIEND
You are a humane, understanding person with intuition and helpful in an unassuming way. Your friendship may have an ethereal quality, but you are a good friend nevertheless and your advice is well worth taking. You should not be too idealistic but accept people as they are - don't expect too much from them. However, your inherent diplomacy saves you from unpleasant situations.
