Here the central figure is unusually surrounded by the ovoid shape of the vesica piscis. |
|
The Vesica Piscis represents the summer and winter solstices of this cycle. |

It was through the use of the vesica piscis that the artists and architects of the past, in both the East and West, were able to construct accurate geometric forms. |
|
The first spot you will reach at the bottom of the garden is this vesica piscis shaped pool that has Chalice Well water flowing in to it through a series of flow forms. |
|
Nowadays, it has come to refer exclusively to a certain more complicated shape formed of three vesicae piscis, sometimes with an added circle in or around it. |
|
It may be an agglomeration of the Latin grandis piscis or French grand poisson, both meaning big fish. |
|
Due south, the gangly formation of Sculptor lies between Fornax and Piscis Austrinus. |
|
The astrological symbol Pisces is based on a constellation of the same name, but there is also a second fish constellation in the night sky, Piscis Austrinus. |
