The dates above are the common Western tropical ranges, which is how most people know their sign. Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which runs roughly three weeks later — so if you were born near the edge of a range, your Vedic rashi may be the previous sign. A full kundali resolves it properly.
Strengths
Challenges
Pisces gives a great deal and can lose itself doing it. It is romantic in the older sense — devotion rather than display. It needs a partner who is straightforward, because it will otherwise construct an explanation and believe it.
Strongest matches
Needs more work
Sun-sign compatibility is a starting point, not a verdict. Two full charts say far more than two signs do.
Art, music, healing professions, counselling, writing, spiritual work, anything where sensitivity is the qualification rather than the liability.

Nakshatras spanning Meena: Purva Bhadrapada (last quarter), Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati. A gemstone is traditionally prescribed from a full chart rather than the sign alone — treat the stone above as the classical association, not a recommendation to go and buy one.
Your sun sign is one placement out of a chart full of them. A kundali reads the whole thing — ascendant, houses, dashas and all.
