The Fishes, in astronomy, a zodiacal constellation appearing in the autumn evening sky. Pisces is the twelfth and last sign of the zodiac. It is inconspicuous, having no star brighter than the fourth magnitude. But it is an important constellation because the vernal equinox, which marks the beginning of the astronomical year, is now located in it (see illustration). See also Constellation.
