About Pisces
Pisces season in the western tropical zodiac begins February 19. It’s the final part of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. The winter chill is beginning to give in to the warmth of spring and the days are continuing to increase in light. There’s a seasonal sense that growth and renewal are coming back to the world, mirroring the inward creative imagining of the Pisces.
Pisces is the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac. It’s a mutable sign that holds adaptability and liminality. Pisces element is water, also contributing to its fluidity and adaptive nature.This sign brings together all the characteristics of the signs that come before it, as they tend to be chameleon-like with those that they surround themselves with and keep their many qualities under wraps.
The constellation of Pisces has been associated with Poseidon/Neptune, Vishnu and Christ. Pisces is the Latin word for fish, and in Greek myth, it represents the koi fish that saved Aphrodite and her son Eros from the sea monster Typhon. As a reward, the two fish were placed in the heavens to shine forever. Venus, the Roman version of Aphrodite, has an exalted position in Pisces that echoes back to her gratitude for the fishes’ help and hospitality.
The symbol of Two Fish are swimming in the opposite direction, symbolizing the duality of its depth, that Pisces are often living in reality and their dream world. Pisces have variance, not contradictory. They are able to see all sides of the situation.
Pisces is associated with The Moon tarot card. The card often appears when we are feeling overwhelmed with emotions or confused about what choice to make next. It carries that illusionary quality of dreams, delusions and ideals. It reminds us that when we’re lost in a storm of feeling, we need to ground ourselves. The Moon teaches us to join the mystic with the tangible and accept that the two are one so we don’t become destabilized by fears, phobias or triggers. Accepting that reality is multifaceted will help us to release the need to control the outcome, or project unrealistic desires onto our circumstances.
Traditionally, Pisces is ruled by Jupiter because this sign transcends creativity and emotional knowledge like no other. Jupiter is the planet of faith, optimism, expansion and aspirations of the higher self. Pisces allows life to be experienced at the deepest sentimental levels. With Jupiter’s influence of faith, belief and higher purpose, Pisces is associated with healing and help.
In modern astrology, Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of mystery. Neptune’s discovery unfolded when scientific faith met with the reality of how expansive the universe truly is. The illusionary themes of this planet can even be connected to the way it cast an illusion on astronomers who thought that it was a blue, fixed star for centuries. The inspiring and innovative themes surrounding the discovery of the planet lend to the connection with idealistic, imaginative Pisces.
Pisces are often selfless, spiritual and focused on their inner journey. Intuition and inner awareness of Pisces is often highly evolved. Many people associate Pisces with dreams and secrets since those with this sign are comfortable in an illusory world.
Pisces place great weight on their feelings. They often feel their own burdens and joys as much as they do other’s. Pisces will give much of themselves to their friends and partners. They often retain a sense of innocence and see the good in others, giving the benefit of the doubt. They are naturally sympathetic and compassionate. Pisces are often wired to offer spiritual or artistic gifts to the world.
Sometimes Pisces tend to glamorize suffering. They can be very needy and codependent. While tender and sympathetic, they may take some comments to heart and get hurt easily. It may be difficult for them to set boundaries and build structure in their lives and relationships. They may be susceptible to getting lost in escapism and self-medication. Pisces derive energy from their self-pity. They come back stronger, with a spring in their step, ready to face the world again, just as trusting and compassionate as they were before.
The voice of empathy, idealism and mysticism comes forward in Pisces. They can easily find a purpose in exploring the unknown, being of service and using creative expression. Those with Pisces prominent in their chart tend to bring a soulful, healing energy to their relationships and communities. With one foot in their world and one in the next, they are here to remind us of what we hold sacred and what sparks the divine within.
