Pisces in Judaism: Born in Adar? Everything About Pisces

Pisces is the twelfth sign of the zodiac.

The zodiac is a pictorial representation of the starry heavens, like a wheel divided into 12 signs.

The tribe associated with the month of Adar is the tribe of Naphtali, whose blessing from Jacob, our forefather, is: "Naphtali is a hind let loose; he giveth goodly words," meaning that the land of the tribe of Naphtali will ripen its fruits swiftly like a deer running, and they will be bearers of good news to the people of Israel.

The spiritual work of the month of Adar is the work of joy, as the sages say: "When Adar enters, joy increases." Those born under the sign of Pisces have a natural inclination towards the pleasures of this world but must remember that true joy will fill their hearts only through a connection to their inner truth and their purpose in the world.

Gifts and Tools

The habitat of the fish is in the water, and according to Kabbalah, water represents kindness and giving. Therefore, those born under the sign of Pisces are characterized by qualities of influence, generosity, and love for others.

Piscean types love to help everyone and provide emotional support. They empathize completely with others, show care, and have a tendency to forgive and show compassion.

Pisces is the only sign among the animal signs that is called in the plural, due to its inherent duality which constitutes its uniqueness. Thanks to this duality, they succeed in understanding complexities.

Piscean types possess very high intuition and can notice all hidden and small details. They can understand hidden motives and read behind the scenes.

Weak Points Requiring Correction

Hashem created the month of Adar through the letter Kuf, which represents the concept of falsehood. Falsehood, like the letter Kuf, stands on one leg without stability. The essence of falsehood is imitation resembling truth. Therefore, those born under the sign of Pisces always try to please their surroundings by burying their self-personality and behaving according to what society expects of them. Piscean types are always seeking approval from the external environment, craving that everyone will love and be pleased with them. They will present what society wants from them and not who they truly are. Thus, Pisces individuals need to undergo an internal change in their approach to their surrounding society and understand that they will be able to feel true satisfaction only when they stop living according to society's expectations and start being true to themselves.

Unlike other animals, a fish is capable of eating its own kind and even its offspring. Therefore, those born under the sign of Pisces must beware of cruelty stemming from internal conflicts and contradictions within them.

The element of water associated with Pisces is an element linked to the pleasures of this world. Therefore, Piscean types are strongly drawn to the desires of the world of falsehood, referred to by the sages as "the world of falsehood." In the world of falsehood, fulfilling desires is likened to drinking salty water that quenches thirst momentarily but soon leads to further thirst. Their primary correction is to look beyond the enticing superficiality that this world presents. The only way they can fill the void of emptiness felt after each momentary fulfillment is by connecting to their internal truth and their purpose in this world.
