Morphology
The structure 'kingdom of X' is compositionally transparent, so a B1 learner who knows 'kingdom' and 'Pisces' can infer a realm or domain associated with Pisces. However, the specific connotations (creative inspiration, artistic sensitivity, intuition) depend on cultural/astrological knowledge of what 'Pisces' symbolizes and are not predictable from the words alone, making the expression only partially transparent.
Etymology
Kingdom of Pisces may come from the image of a quiet, watery kingdom ruled by Pisces, the fish sign, where dreams and feelings swim freely like fish. That's why saying someone is in the kingdom of Pisces means they are in a 'place of imagination, deep feeling, and creative ideas'.
