Pisces is the sign of sensitivity and receptivity. They have great
compassion, which can be a blessing or a curse. Although it is
important to help the downtrodden, it is equally important to help them
to stand strongly on their own two feet.
The sign of the fish is
considered to be highly intuitive. Pisceans often need to spend time
alone to separate their own intuitive feelings from the environment
around them. Because of this, it is especially important for Pisces to
choose friends and activities that are in harmony with their energy
field, or they can become insecure.
Until Pisceans learn to
ground themselves, they can get lost in escapist activities like
addictive behavior, unrealistic goals, or relationships that drain
energy rather than enhance.
Pisces rules the film industry,
photography, the ocean, psychics, monasteries, mystics, dreams, and
spiritual practices. In the body, Pisces rules the feet,
alcohol/drug/chocolate addictions, and the immune system.

Neptune
 Neptune is the planet that rules Pisces and the 12th House. Neptune governs your creativity, illusions, and spirituality.
To be enlightened, you must first burst through your illusions. Neptune rules intuitive development, filmmaking, musical creativity, and oceanic professions. With Neptune, you go beyond worldly boundaries to merge with the cosmos.
Escapist activities like alcoholism, drug addiction, excessive
fantasies (like winning the lottery to fix all your problems), and
romanticizing bad relationships are Neptune-ruled.
You must go beyond yourself in order to understand Neptune. With
Neptune placed in the second house, a person must find true prosperity
consciousness rather than prosperity based solely on material
possessions. In the fifth house, you could help children to open to
their creativity, or you may get lost in romantic illusions. An eighth
house Neptune might be under the fantasy that they will win the
lottery.
Neptune helps you to step into a larger part of yourself, a part that
is totally connected to your Divine Essence. People with strong Neptune
in their charts tend to look beyond religious institutions for their
spirituality.
In school kids learn that Pluto is the outermost planet in our solar
system, but because Pluto's orbit is so eccentric, it sometimes crosses
the orbit of Neptune. This makes Neptune the most distant planet from
the Sun for a few years!
Neptune's composition is most likely a small core of rocky material
about the mass of the Earth. Its atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and
helium with a small amount of methane. Neptune's blue color is largely
the result of absorption of red light by methane in the atmosphere but
there is some additional as-yet-unidentified chromophore which gives
the clouds their rich blue tint.
Like a typical gas planet, Neptune has rapid winds, the fastest in
the solar system, reaching 2000 km/hour.
The Twelfth House, Subconscious
 The Twelfth House relates to that which is hidden from view. Ruled by Pisces, spiritual practices like meditation, shamanic vision quests, past life regression, dream therapy, psychic development, and hypnotherapy fit into the twelfth house.
This is the place you go for your privacy. It also shows what you would
like to hide from the world, but will need to deal with at some time in
your life.
For example, Mercury in the twelfth house is often the child who is
told that he/she talks too much, so learns to be seen and not heard.
However, as the child gets older, they must learn to communicate all
over again.
The twelfth house is where we want to escape from the world, and
this can include alcoholism, drug addiction, or any time a person lives
excessively in their fantasy world. In the twelfth house, you need to
look at the shadows of your inner being in order to bring forth your
connection to the One Source of all that is. This energy can be used
positively through contemplative spiritual practice or other forms of
self-analysis.
Photography, the ocean, and secret societies are associated with the
twelfth house, as are prisons, hospitals, and psychiatric facilities.
