The ruling planet of Pisces is Neptune. There are 10 major planets, each represent a different set of qualities and characteristics, and rule over a different part of our lives — each bringing with them their own unique vibes. Knowing the planets and their effects on your life is just as important as knowing your sign. They all affect us differently, and knowing the areas of life they govern is important to understanding your horoscope.

Neptune governs what inspires you and where you're easily deceived. It's about illusion, confusion, imagination, and creativity.

Neptune can be illusive and hard to tie down. It's the areas where you see what you thought was real isn't, and what you thought wasn't real is. It's like a blind spot where you don't see something until later, but you probably needed to see it from the very beginning.

Neptune governs addictions – drugs, alcohol, food, etc.

If Neptune was retrograde when you were born, you may have a tendency to escape from reality.

If Neptune was stationary when you were born, you may be quite artistic, but not very realistic.
