• 0°–3°20′ Pisces: Purva Bhadrapada, Jupiter's own nakshatra, which concentrates the placement; for work it points to occult, philosophy, crisis work, research and causes.

• 3°20′–16°40′ Pisces: Uttara Bhadrapada, ruled by Saturn, lord of the 7th and 8th here, which brings marriage and partnership into it; for work it points to research, counselling, charity, spiritual work and long-term service.

• 16°40′–30° Pisces: Revati, ruled by Mercury, lord of the 3rd and 12th here, which brings courage, skills and siblings into it; its gift is nourishing guidance, its shadow naivety and escapism.
