Which nakshatra: Pisces in parts

Pisces spans parts of 3 nakshatras, and the one Jupiter occupies adds its lord's agenda for Aquarius rising:

• 0°–3°20′ Pisces: Purva Bhadrapada, its own nakshatra, making the result purer; in love it is intense and idealistic, and swings between devotion and detachment.

• 3°20′–16°40′ Pisces: Uttara Bhadrapada, a Saturn nakshatra, linking the placement with the 1st and 12th (self and body; expenses, foreign lands and retreat); its gift is depth and calm wisdom, its shadow inertia.

• 16°40′–30° Pisces: Revati, under Mercury, which for Aquarius rising rules the 5th and 8th, so transformation and hidden matters enter the reading; in love it is gentle, nurturing and forgiving in love.

Love and marriage

In the 2nd Jupiter blesses family life and sweet, wise speech; a match supported by both families and built on shared values tends to grow steadily.

Toward the Sun, ruler of the 7th (Leo), Jupiter is a natural friend: a helpful sign for marriage. Classically Jupiter is the karaka for a husband and Venus for a wife, though both are now read in every chart. The 7th house here is Leo, ruled by the Sun; that lord's condition matters as much as this placement.
