PISCES ASCENDANT/ MEENA
Pisces can signify enjoyments and sensitivity. Pisces people are restless and are constantly on the move. A strong Jupiter can give the Pisces ascendant a spectacular rise in career as Jupiter rules Sagittarius (as well as Pisces), which is the ruler of the tenth house for Pisces ascendant.

Pisces people are devoted to duty, have strong morals and are good advisors. They are idealistic, generous, emotional and enthusiastic. They are friendly and compassionate. Pisces people are truly intuitive and feel things very deeply. They are easily misled and moved by feelings from other people that are not always genuine. Pisces people can become prone to addictions.

Pisces people usually are not leaders so they become followers or promoters. They lack sometimes initiatives and self-confidence and often don't want to be in the spotlight. They are amorous and hard to pin down and often they will appear in whatever way required or necessary to placate and please other people. They can be like the chameleon who camouflages their appearance to protect themselves.

Pisces ascendants get the unlucky privilege of having five functional malefic planets including Rahu and Ketu. Virgo and Taurus ascendants have the same misfortune and therefore these ascendants will have more chances of having the proverbial stick placed into the spoke of the wheel creating disturbances in their lives. Pisces ascendants have the Sun and Venus changing signs and houses almost every month, which makes the problems that these malefic planets offer short-lived. Saturn is the other malefic and the difficulties caused by this planet are prolonged because of its slow motion. Therefore, Pisces ascendants get it both ways, having short-lived problems mixed with longer term ones. Nevertheless Pisces ascendants do have the planets Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and the Moon as functional benefic planets. This factor can bring about a content married life, a successful career and good status in life, as these planets rule the houses that indicate such factors, the second, fifth, seventh and tenth.

The mooltrikona for Mars is Aries placed in the second house. If Mars is strong and well placed for the Pisces ascendant, then the person stands to be successful and have a dynamic spouse. There will be material affluence and vitality as well as the person having an outgoing nature.

Impatience and bad language could result.

The mooltrikona sign for the Moon is Cancer placed in the fifth house. A strong and well placed Moon will balance the emotions, create good relationship with children and bring good fortune. The Pisces ascendant will have more stability and they will have a perceptive intellect, be creative with ideas and make sound financial investments. If the Moon is weak and afflicted, then there can be progeny problems and loss of mental peace. There will be impractical investments perhaps based on wrong intuition. There can be emotional problems regarding one's children.

The mooltrikona sign for the Sun is Leo placed in the sixth house. A strong Sun in the chart without any afflictions to other planets or houses will bring about sound health. It will also protect the Pisces ascendant from disputes and oppositions as well protecting the person from having high blood pressure and heart problems. The person will be guarded from debts and possible audits from government officials. If the Sun is weak, then the person will have opposition and lose arguments. Debts will occur as well as health related problems affecting the stomach and blood pressure. The person's own vitality and enthusiasm will be less.

As the mooltrikona sign of Mercury falls in the seventh house in the sign of Virgo, then it is vital that Mercury is strong and unafflicted in order to create a marriage that will last. Strong Mercury will protect and boost the nervous system and balance one's analytical mind, which can enhance partnerships, whether being in a relationships or a business. If Mercury is weak and afflicted, then the marriage is often stressful and ends in divorce. Partnerships in business suffer, as do stays in foreign lands.

There will be less chance of problems with low blood sugar and with kidney ailments. If Venus is weak, then the marriage can suffer as will as sexual enjoyments. There will be a lack of vitality and enthusiasm, and possible problems with the renal area. The malefic Venus that afflicts any planets will destroy the benefic signification's of those planets. For example, Venus aspecting and therefore afflicting Mars in the chart can destroy courage, marriage bringing about violent temper and sexual obsessions.

They will make good administrators and excel in training and development vocations. Jupiter connected with a strong Moon gives good academic qualifications and a possible career in teaching. The ambitions and success that the Pisces ascendant aspires for can come into fruition with a benefic Jupiter in their chart. For females, Jupiter may bring the same qualities to their husband. If Jupiter is weak or afflicted, then ambitions and success are less and they will lack great status in their life. In a female chart there will be disappointments in the husband as there may be a lack of ambition.

The mooltrikona sign for Saturn is Aquarius placed in the malefic twelfth house. A well-placed Saturn that does not aspect or afflict any other planets is then capable of protecting the individual from heavy expenses and losses. It will enhance foreign stays and will not disturb the person's health and may extend the life span. The person who has a weak Saturn will endure losses and lack of sexual pleasures as well as suffer health problems such as arthritic conditions, and problems with bones and the spinal area. The Saturn that aspects and therefore afflicts other planets will incur restrictions, losses and isolation in whichever signification or characteristics the planets have.
