Alpha Piscium, according to Ptolemy, is the location of the knotted connection between the two fish. The astrological image depicts two fish being bound together by a cord, usually at the mouths or tails. Typically, the fish are shown swimming in opposing directions to symbolize the duality of the Piscean nature. The planet Neptune is in charge of them. Despite appearing as a pair, all languages other than Greek, Romanian, Bulgarian, Dutch, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, and Italian originally only referred to one fish by the sign's name. The variable water sign of the zodiac is Pisces.
The Latin term for "fishes" is "pisces." It is one of the oldest zodiac signs known to man, with the two fish first appearing on an Egyptian coffin lid about 2300 BC.
