Meen rashi (मीन) in English is Pisces. It is the twelfth sign of the zodiac, its symbol is the two fish and its ruling planet is Jupiter (Guru).
So if someone says “my rashi is Meen”, in English they mean their zodiac sign is Pisces. Meen is also spelled Min, Meena, Meenam (Tamil, Malayalam).

Is Meen Rashi the Same as Pisces?
Yes — Meen and Pisces are the same sign of the zodiac. But your Vedic rashi and your Western zodiac sign may not match. In Indian (Vedic) astrology, your rashi usually means your moon sign — the sign the Moon was in when you were born. Western astrology uses your sun sign, which depends only on your birth date (Pisces: 19 February – 20 March).
That is why a person born in, say, the Pisces date range may still have a different rashi in their kundli. To find your real rashi, use our free moon sign (rashi) calculator with your date, time and place of birth.
