Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Your Zodiac Sign As A Greek God: Pisces

Poseidon the God of the sea and rivers, creator of storms and floods, and the bringer of earthquakes and destruction.  He majestically held the sign of his reign, the Trident, which gave him the power both to create storms and calm the waters.

Poseidon was the second son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. In Greek art, Poseidon rides a chariot that was pulled by a hippocampus or by horses that could ride on the sea. He was associated with dolphins and three-pronged fish spears (tridents). He lived in a palace on the ocean floor, made of coral and gems.

“Alexander the Great paused at the Syrian seashore, invoking Poseidon the sea-god, for whom he ordered a four-horse chariot to be cast into the waves “

The positive and negative traits of Pisces:
Positive Traits: Empathetic, Artistic, Emotional, Selfless and Natural Healers
Negative Traits: Moody, Negative, Lazy, Idealistic and Escapists

As the ruler of the sea, Poseidon was the protector of all waters and sailors, but he was also worshipped as a fertility god. Poseidon was moody and unstable by nature, and Pisces who feel more than anyone else can also be somewhat moody and unstable at times. Those born under the sign of Pisces are very sensitive, highly intuitive.

Much like dreamy Pisces, Poseidon was a very unpredictable god and when angry, he was able to destroy everything that comes in his way.

“A Pisces man has no prejudices. He’ll never judge an Indian until he’s walked a few miles in his moccasins, or a nudist until he’s tried going barefoot. “
