Pisces ♓️ - Fish // Water // Neptune • February 19 - March 20  
Inspired by Western astrology I designed a humanized version of Pisces.
 
Why did a choose a mermaid to represent the Fish? Mermaids are mythological creatures, half human half fish. At first I was going to paint two mermaids, resembling the two fish that represent this zodiac sign, but the design of the drawing was too different with the one used for the rest of the signs, so I decided to use only one mermaid.
 
• Character: She’s Pisces, a sea mermaid, being half of her body that of a fish, and the other half that of a female human. She has different colors all over her skin, making it iridescent in blue, purple and silver. She also have fin ears, webbed fingers (she has membranes between her fingers), and iridescent hair also because of her mermaid nature.
 
Related to Aphrodite and her son Eros (also considered Venus and Cupid - as a magic incarnation of both of their essences), who transformed into fish to escape Typhon, the “father of all monsters”, when he was sent by Gaia to attack the gods.
 
She’s the most mystical of the 12 sisters, known for her sensitive and adaptable nature, the other signs usually see her full of melancholia and sorrow.
 
Like her sister Capricorn she’s a mermaid with magic abilities, although she only can live in salt water, so they only meet in the sea or the ocean. Pisces likes to spend time with her water sister Cancer, who also lives in the sea and like to spend time at shore.
 
Her magic abilities are related to karma, she uses metaphysical energy to arrange the actions involving the spiritual principle of cause and effect, where intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual.
 
Being ruled by Neptune and having Water as her element, she’s the more adaptable sign of the zodiac, fully devoted to her element and to mystic energy.
 
Along with Cancer and Scorpio, she’s part of the Water Trigon.
 
• Background: Because she’s ruled by Neptune and her element is Water, I wanted to represent the planet and element colors in the background, being them violet, blue, white and grey. Since she’s a mermaid, representation of the fish of her zodiac sign, she needed to be placed near water, a beach near the ocean.
 
She oozes magic from all her being, at plain sight her human skin, her mermaid tail and even her hair is iridescent emanate an endless mystical glow.
 
• Colors: Violet is Neptune color, other colors for the sign are blue, white and grey  
• Gemstones: amethyst, chrysolite and topaz  
• Metals: tin  
• Trees: peach trees, apple trees  
• Flowers: water lilies, doubtful knight’s spur and dahlias
