Lagna in Pisces (Meena) is the rising sign of the natal chart in which the 12th sign of the zodiac, Pisces, occupies the 1st house. Its ruler, the Lagnesh, is Jupiter. Pisces is a water sign of the mutable quality, and its themes are intuition, compassion and the inner life.
A rare Lagna in the north
Pisces rises quickly at northern latitudes. On the day of the lagna.su sample chart in Moscow it stayed on the eastern horizon for only 41 minutes, the shortest window of all twelve signs, while Libra took 181 minutes. A Pisces Lagna in Moscow therefore needs an especially accurate birth time.
Character
People with this Lagna take in the mood of a room before they hear the words. They are kind, adaptable and often artistic, and they decide by feeling more often than by a plan. The weak side is the same openness: without clear boundaries they take on other people's troubles, drift from one goal to another or avoid hard decisions.
Lagnesh Jupiter
Jupiter rules both the 1st house (Pisces) and the 10th house (Sagittarius) of this chart, so the person and the career are tied together. A strong Jupiter gives a teacher, a counsellor or a doctor; a weak or afflicted Jupiter can make the person over-generous with time and money. The house where Jupiter stands shows the main field of life.
Houses and planets
For Pisces Lagna, Mars rules the 2nd and the 9th houses and is a helpful planet. The Moon rules the 5th house of children and creativity. Mercury rules the 4th and the 7th houses, so the partner is often a practical, careful Virgo-type person. Venus rules the 3rd and the 8th, and Saturn rules the 11th and the 12th, the houses of gains and of losses or retreat.
Nakshatras
The sign holds the last quarter of Purva Bhadrapada and the whole of Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. The nakshatra of the rising degree adds detail: Uttara Bhadrapada, ruled by Saturn, gives more patience and depth, and Revati, ruled by Mercury, gives a lighter and more sociable manner.
