It is also considered a water sign and one of the four mutable signs. (Mutable signs have a longing for movement and are extremely restless. Pisces is the most watery sign. It is constantly trying to adapt itself to its ever-changing feelings and to the moods and whims of others.)
Pisces has been traditionally ruled by the planet Jupiter, but since its discovery, Neptune has been considered a modern ruler of this sign. Being the twelfth sign, Pisces is associated with the astrological twelfth house.
Individuals born when the Sun was in this sign are considered Pisceans. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun is in Pisces roughly from February 18 to March 20, ending on the moment of vernal equinox by definition. Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from March 15 to April 13.

[edit] Mythology
According to one Greek myth, Pisces represents the fish into which Aphrodite and her son Eros transformed in order to escape the fire god Typhon; they are tied together with a cord on their tails, to make sure they do not lose one another.[6] Alternatively, the twin fish were placed in the heavens in honor of their heroic deed of saving Aphrodite and Eros from Typhon on the river Euphrates. There is also much variety in body structure, life patterns and habitats of species that belong to the same class.[edit] Compatibilities
Generally, the Pisces sign are considered to be compatible with other water signs such as, Cancer, Scorpio and other Pisces. Also the earth signs Capricorn and Taurus, which is ruled by Venus. [2] These signs share a watery demeanor and are believed to relate with each other on that merit.[edit] Mythology
