PISCES, the Dreamer

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream (Edgar Allan Poe)

 

PISCES

Ruled by Neptune and Jupiter

From about February 18 to March 20

Key word: I FEEL      

Water sign - Mutable

In the body it rules the feet

The sun enters the sign of Pisces on February 18 and will remain there until March 20. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. Its symbol is two fish tied together, swimming in opposite directions.

Pisces symbolizes that which is unlimited and cannot be measured, the cosmic mysteries that require faith. Closing the cycle of the zodiac, Pisces is the most spiritual of all signs, preparing the soul to retreat from this world.

Self-sacrifice, compassion, extreme sensitivity are some of the qualities of this sign. Hard to understand, Pisces is introspective and needs to be alone to “recharge its batteries”. Pisceans do not feel at home in this world and their need to escape reality is very strong. If used constructively, this can lead to great achievements, such as music, poetry, painting; many artists have strong Piscean or Neptunian influence.   The most compassionate of all signs, Pisces produces individuals who devote themselves to others: priests, spiritual guides, doctors, nurses, hospital and social workers, and people who defend causes such as homelessness or any other cause to help the underdog. Pisces understands sufferance and is prone to tears. This might lead to martyrdom, feeling sorry for oneself and self neglect. The dark side of Pisces produces passivity and cowardness, fraud and betrayal, irresponsibility and escapism into alcohol or drugs, illusions, such as belonging to a pseudo-spiritual cult.

Neptune is now in its own sign of Pisces until 2025 and it will re-enforce the characteristics of the sign, both in the positive and in the negative ways. I will write about its influence in a future post.
