The geometric form of [[Pisces]] is the [[Vesica Piscis]], a shape created by the intersection of two circles.


The [[Vesica Piscis]] is a type of lens, a mathematical shape formed by the intersection of two disks with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each disk lies on the perimeter of the other. In Latin, "vesica piscis" literally means "bladder of a fish", reflecting the shape's resemblance to the conjoined dual air bladders (swim bladder) found in most fish.[2] In Italian, the shape's name is mandorla ("almond"). A similar shape in three dimensions is the lemon.
