The sign Pisces is ruled by Jupiter and rules feet, toes, lymphatic system, bones of feet and toe, etc.  Afflicted and weak Jupiter together with close affliction of functional malefics to the mid-point of the ascendant gives gout pains, joint pains, problems of blood circulation and the diseases connected with the parts ruled by this sign.

Pisces is a negative, non-human, watery and fruitful sign and signifies enjoyments, sensitiveness, etc.  Mercury gets debilitated in this sign and Venus gets exalted in this sign.  With strong Jupiter in the chart, it gives a spectacular rise in the career.

Pisceans are restless, and are always on the move.  They are generally devoted to duty, have strong moral value and are good advisors whenever Jupiter and/or Mercury are strong in the horoscope.  They are idealistic, generous, emotional and enthusiastic.

As Jupiter rules the tenth house and Mars rules the second house, the Pisceans enjoy good status in life in the professions of administration, training and development.  They are best suited for advisory roles in the fields of finance, commerce and law.  The sign Cancer in their fifth house makes them highly sensitive and emotional.  The weak and afflicted placement of the Moon gives emotional setbacks in life.  The weakness prone planet Mercury makes the marital life of Pisceans unsuccessful. 

A strong Sun in the nativity without afflicting to other natal positions blesses the native with good health, while a similarly placed Saturn gives long life and Venus gives a long lease of marital life.  However, transit close afflictions of the Sun, Saturn and Venus do trigger the inauspicious significant events, quite often in life.

The planets Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and the Moon are functional benefics for this ascendant.  The presence of these planets in strength in a nativity assures a happy married life, a successful career, happiness on account of progeny and a good status in life.  On the other hand, the planets the Sun, Saturn and Venus are functional malefics.  The functional malefics, the Sun and Venus, are generally associated with Mercury in all nativities, but because of the malefic nature of the Sun and Venus for the Pisces natives, this association turns into affliction and spoils the marital affairs of the Pisceans by way of close conjunctions of functional malefics.  Besides, Mercury may be weak due to combustion, debilitation, infancy or old age.  The affliction by way of association/close conjunction of the Sun and Venus is more frequent, as you all know.  As the mooltrikona sign of Mercury falls in the seventh house, in addition to the person being nervous, he may lack vitality.  Both of these things are necessary for fostering physical and mental comparability for a successful married life.  These are the reasons why the married life of the Pisceans are generally stressful and end up in divorce/death of spouse/ in persistent bickering.

The close conjunctions amongst functional benefics become auspicious and yogakaraka.  The conjunction of Jupiter and Mars gives an authoritative and charming professional career with the Government in financial or judicial departments. The close conjunction of Jupiter with the Moon is indicative of high academic qualifications, and blesses the native with affluent level of assets and a career in the teaching, training and development.  The close conjunction of Jupiter with Mercury makes the person highly suitable for analytical/research oriented jobs and confers distinctive name and fame.  The strong and well-placed conjunction of the Moon and Mars bestows a position in the highest rungs of administration.  On the other hand, affliction by functional malefic planet, Mars the good significations of other planets.
