The 2nd decan of Pisces: the meaning

The Chaldean series passes from Saturn to Jupiter and assigns it the middle of Pisces, one of its two houses.

The triplicities give this decan to Cancer, the water of summer, and to the Moon. The two rulers, associated with protection and generosity, would make this third one of the most hospitable of the zodiac, the one where an extra place is always set. The neighboring decans, graver or more combative, frame this gentleness.

With Jupiter, a person of this decan would have the door always open: she puts up a friend passing through, lends without counting, believes in second chances, and finds meaning even in hardship. With the Moon, she would be more turned toward her family and her memories: the photo albums, the childhood home, the Sunday traditions, a deep attachment to those who watched her grow up and to the places that sheltered her.

Limitless generosity would be her pitfall. Jupiter might push toward forgiving everything, even what should not be forgiven; the Moon, toward living in nostalgia and fearing change. The heart of Pisces would do well to tell kindness from complacency, and to welcome the present with as much tenderness as the past. Saying no once, gently, sometimes protects a bond better than ten forced yeses.

Frequently asked questions about the 2nd decan of Pisces

Jupiter or the Moon: who rules the 2nd decan of Pisces?

Jupiter for the Chaldean school, which has it succeed Saturn; it thus falls in one of its domiciles. The Moon for the school of the triplicities, through Cancer, the water sign of summer. The two readings describe the same welcoming character, one turned toward the world, the other toward its own people.

Is the 2nd decan of Pisces the most generous?

It is often described that way, Jupiter being at home and the Moon bringing the sense of protection. This generosity has its flip side, difficulty setting limits. It is a symbolic nuance; Jupiter and Venus, in their real place in the chart, say more about how a person gives and receives.

When in the year does the 2nd decan of Pisces fall?

Around the end of February and the start of March, as the Sun crosses the central degrees of Pisces. The precise dates depend on the year and on where February 29 falls in the leap cycle. The site’s engine displays them to the minute; the sign tool does the same for past years.
