Pisces
The two fishes of Pisces date back to the dawn of civilisation on the banks of the Euphrates river. In the temples of the goddess Atagartis and her son- lover, Ichthys, there were sacred fish ponds. Like Christ, Ichthys died and was reborn. There are many links between this pagan cult and Christianity - Christ, the Fisher of Men, was known as Ichthys - fish - in early Christian times. In astrology, the last two thousand years have been the Age of Pisces and the conjunction of the two great planets, Jupiter and Saturn, which occurred in Pisces, may have been the Star of Bethlehem. Pisces lies between Aquarius and Aries on the zodiac band.
