In most of standard iconographic compositions, the two fish are represented nearly always swimming in opposite directions and are often linked together by a cord from both of their mouths. They usually swim horizontally and in some cases they are mirror images of each other. Water or other decoration is sometimes shown around them, but there can also be a blank undecorated area. In the modern horoscope the zodiac sign of PISCES covers the period from about February 19 – March 20.

My weirdest photo experience yet! Point your camera at the night sky, click and hope.
17th attempt, I hit the jackpot. That trail you can see along the bottom of the shot, is a Perseid meteor.This time every year, their is a heavenly shower of comet debris.
These particles are no bigger than grains of sand, and burn up as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere at 50km.
The bigger you see this shot, the more lurid green the end of the trail appears.This is a crop of the earlier shot I’ve now added for a clearer view of the fantastic green tail.

The zodiac sign of AQUARIUS is associated with the month of January and it is represented by the water carrier. In most of the standard medieval iconographic compositions, the water carrier is represented by a single man or a woman, standing or seated, holding one or two vases from which water pours. Usually set in a landscape, the figure is sometimes immersed in a lake, into which he/she pours the water from the vase. The vase is always Classical in form, and in some cases the water flows away from the figure instead of vertically. In some depictions, the figure of the water carrier is represented by a genderless figure which perhaps resembles to a child. In the modern horoscope the zodiac sign of AQUARIUS covers the period from about 20 January until 18 February.
