Mīna — Pisces
Mīna is the 12th rāśi, the feet of the Kāla-puruṣa, ruled by Guru. Parāśara's rāśi-svarūpa chapter gives it a colour, a direction, a varṇa and a manner of rising; Phaladīpikā states what a person born with Mīna rising is like. SIA computes the lagna and every graha's rāśi for the birth moment and fires the rules that name Mīna — the verses below are the ones it reads from.

Parāśara on Mīna
जली सत्त्वगुणाढ्यश्च स्वस्थो जलचरो द्विजः। अपदो मध्यदेही च सौम्यस्थो ह्युभयोदयी।।२३।।
RenderingMīna — two fishes, each mouth to the other's tail — is strong by day, water-dwelling, sattvic, brāhmaṇa, footless, medium-bodied, rules the north, rises both ways.
सुराचार्याधिपश्चास्य राशीनां गदितं मया। त्रिशद्भागात्मकः स्थूलसूक्ष्माकरफलाय च।।२४।।
RenderingIts lord is the preceptor of the gods, Guru. Thus have the natures of the rāśis of thirty degrees each been told; their gross and subtle results are given in the treatises.
Phaladīpikā — born with Mīna as lagna
अत्यम्बुपानः समचारुदेहः स्वदारगस्तोयजवित्तभोक्ता । विद्वान्कृतज्ञोऽभिभवत्यमित्रान् शुभेक्षणो भाग्ययुतोऽन्त्यराशौ ॥१२॥
TranslationIf at a birth sign Meena be the Lagna, the person born will drink water excessively, will have a symmetrical and shining body, will be fond of his wife, will gain money by selling pearls and other produce of the ocean. He will be learned, feel grateful for past favours done to him, will overcome his enemies, possess very good eyes and will be fortunate.
