Pisces ⵣ
Iberia was allocated the Zodiac sign of Pisces, the two fish. Here is Pisces on the Dendera Zodiac along with it's three decons on the side. The decons are:
Four ram heads on a rectangular base
The Souls
The Khent-Hery figure ("one who is above")
Between the two fish is a miniature sign of Aquarius.

The ancient civilisation of Iberia was called Tartessus, also called Turdatania. Stabo in his work, Geography, describes Turdetanians of southern Iberia as possessing:
>“records of their ancient history, poems, and laws written in verse that are six thousand years old, as they assert.”
Strabo is writing in about 20 BC. Therefore, six thousand years before aligns closely with the 6200 BC 8.2ka Event which caused sudden storms through Europe and North Africa. This even could have caused the catastrophic collapse of the city of Atlantis and it would have afterwards led to the desertification as the humid period in Africa suddenly ended.
In Europe, this is also the moment we see farming people finally break through Greece. We could imagine early Greece exhumed with storms and flooding, as described by Plato and many of the Indo-European myths. The conquest of these farmers may be Marduk destroying Tiamat. After this empire is established, Marduk surveys the different lands and allocates the Zodiac.
Atlantis had been the home to hundreds of thousands of people by Plato's own account. Suddenly they are all living in a rapidly desolate land, those who can of course migrate away, but where?
Iberia would have been the closest truly fertile land, it's entirely plausible that many Atlanteans resettled here. Other's may have travelled further into Europe and perhaps some to Egypt but Iberia would require the easier journey to reach. Iberia had been the realm of Evaemon, which means Blessed, at least this is the term used by Plato. The fertile climate of the western side especially may be reason to assume Iberia was later known as Elysium, the place it was said fortunate souls would travel to after death.
The region which had been home to Atlantis is allocated the sign of Aquarius. Water vessels would have had privileged use to a sea faring people and the Bottle Gourds of Africa are still used as light weight water vessels to this day.
The region of Iberia is allocated the sign Pisces, which isn't especially interesting Iberia is still known as destination for good fish food today. However, the symbol for Pisces is interesting as it looks like this,♓. This happens to be exactly the same as the most important symbol to the Amazigh tribe of North Africa, which they call the Yaz, ⵣ. the chief symbol within their Tifinagh script.
We could presume that both the Amazighs and Tartessians continued to use this symbol as it may have previously been the chief symbol of Atlantis.
I haven't looked through all the relics and art from ancient Iberia but what I can see is that a number of stone reliefs depict an H symbol within a circles of what look like shield. An H could be a derivative of the Pisces symbol, just cleaned up.
This is definitely something to be explored.
The idea that Iberia became the subsequent home of the Atlanteans provides a reason for the sign of Aquarius to be shown within Pisces.
The question is still what the three decons mean. The 'souls' align well with the idea of Elysium. The rams could have been common to this region, althogh why four should be in a square is difficult to say and I don't know. The mysteries Khent-Hery figure ("one who is above") I also don't have ideas for but the notion of supremacy is in-keeping with the alternative term for Aquarius as The Great One.
