A message for Pisces
Pisces is ruled by the planet Neptune and co-ruled by Jupiter. Neptune represents dreams, empathy, fantasy, imagination, and overflowing creative energy. Neptune’s role in astrology is on Spiritual Development. This role of Neptune, accompanied by Jupiter’s role in Spiritual growth, gives Pisces the feeling of being connected to the Universe and a sense of a greater purpose. Jupiter represents faith and optimism. It is the planet of luck and prosperity and the principle of expansion, showing great things that Pisces can achieve. These two ruling planets are the connection on how your thoughts, feelings, and actions create your own reality.
Being a Pisces, you find yourself indulging in woolgathering or envisioning better days in imaginative scenarios half the time. You are a natural visionary. You are considered to be the most emotional of all the signs. You are not just swimming in your own pool of emotions, but you tend to absorb other signs’ feelings too, and sometimes it does get overwhelming. You are intuitive and you like to express your emotions through art and its many forms. Your energy, your ideals, and your optimism can be why you see the world in rose-tinted glasses, which in turn earns your sign the reputation for being flaky and prone to putting up mirages. You have to remember that even with the greatest volumes of optimism, conflict will not dissipate on its own and have to be handled and faced upfront.
The Last Zodiac
The season of the water bearer has elapsed and the sun transitions into the ethereal sign of Pisces bringing in reflective, creative, and emotional vibrations. There will be a heightened sense of intuition. You need not worry about which path to take, for you already know the underlying answer. Have faith in your choices. Pisces, symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions - one toward the heavens, the other toward the underworld, is the twelfth astrological sign of the Zodiac. The Pisces symbol represents its duality. Pisces are considered to be laid back and simultaneously switching from fantasy to reality. Being the last sign of the Zodiac, the Pisces are wise, having learnt all the lessons to be learned by the other signs. And comes with it is the wisdom of emotions.
Pisces are wonderful empaths, they connect to others through deep feeling and their ability to perceive. As a mutable sign, Pisces are susceptible to changes around them. They are easy-going and accepting of others surrounding them. Their adaptations are based on the feelings of the people surrounding them, which then enables them to harness their ability to provide what is needed from them may it be sympathy, advice, or information. These altruistic individuals desire to change the world with their compassion and empathy. Rose-tinted glasses and hearts worn on sleeves are what’s on trend during the Pisces season. With all the emotions and feelings in the air, you might find yourself up-in-the-clouds! You might need to ask others for help to manage to keep your feet on the ground. Alongside these feelings, this is also a good phase to heal from past experiences. Release a grudge or perhaps even a maudlin plea. These past heartbreaks might have already evolved to be healing gifts and soul lessons. View these through a different lens, allow yourself to take these and draw inner strength from it. It will also be a wonderful idea to be of assistance to someone who might be needing a hand. The way you are able to give what people emotionally need helps you to be admirable. You are greatly attuned to the needs of others. While you always put others’ emotions and needs before you, be careful not to put yourself last. A gentle reminder to be generous to yourself too.
Your natural creative abilities will lead you to shine in your career. And if any case you might be feeling a bit of a creator’s block, sit back, breathe, relax and you will find inspiration again. You have the ability to inspire others to unlock their full potential the way you do. You influence other signs naturally. Because the Pisces season brings a more relaxed period, take your time to meditate, and pamper yourself. You will feel the need to be in a serene and peaceful phase. You might feel like none of your hard work is paying off but you are getting there. You will have to think of the things that you will need to do, and not just envision your goals. You have to get up, and do what your goals, and responsibilities require of you. Pisces dream big and are eternal visionaries. What you can envision, you can make it happen as long as you put in the effort needed. When you have your eyes on the prize, there is no stopping you from reaching the moon!
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PISCES
Did you know that Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and is often seen as the sign that has gone through all of life, has lived all the aspects of the cycle, thus incorporates all the knowledge from each of the signs before it? But it's not all bubbles and bliss. The weight of worldly wisdom can push Pisces to want to escape at any chance we get. Does anyone know a Pisces with an addictive personality?
Pisces represents the two fishes, as above so below. We like to go with the flow, so if it isn't a monumental event set in stone, you may have better chances of actually making plans with us by living in the present moment. Something spontaneous. Set plans that aren’t important, can stress us out because we never know what the moment or mourning will bring. Our mood when we set plans can and will change the day of. Pisces is a mutable sign, meaning it is extremely easy for us to turn into a chameleon soul and blend into any place, with any people, with any situation, and look as if we effortlessly just got it like that.
We are one of the more empathic and emotional signs so we can relate and sympathize with just about ANYONE. One thing Pisces can do to help ground back to the Earth (since lord knows we live in the clouds) is to connect to and evolve through its opposite sign, Virgo aka my sister Steph! Being a Pisces has always fascinated me and I have always been so in love with the character and personality traits of this sign. I take pride in being a Pisces sun, but I also dread some of our emotional irrationality. I also get really excited any time I meet a new Pisces because I immediately feel like I am not alone in the world. We can be such dreamers, that sometimes the reality of the world weighs heavy on our hearts. A Pisces will spend much time trying not to drown in our emotional pity parties. Trust me when I say we never mean too! Just as the tides have highs and lows we do as well. Many times on a weekly basis! As a water sign, the moon placement heavily affects our attitude.
Pisces: The Two Fish
Welcome to our February sub box, Unicorn loves! We are entering into one of my favorite seasons of the zodiac.
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac (the zodiacal wheel of the year actually starts with Aries, the initiation of spring and the rebirth after the depths of winter).Pisces is a water sign, the third sign in the evolution from Cancer to Scorpio. The impact of the watery nature is very present in Pisces, as it is an intensely emotional, empathetic, almost porous sign. Pisces is deeply connected to the mysteries of the world, all that lies beyond the veil, all that the intuition teaches us about the world beyond, the fantastical, the unknowable. It can be easy, therefore, for a Piscean person to get lost in those watery depths, in wanting to connect and merge with that which is on the other side and is separate from the everyday world we live in. Like Cancer and Scorpio, Pisces feels deeply; this is a sign that is profoundly connected to its feelings, to everything that the heart and the intuition have to tell it. Unlike Cancer and Scorpio, however, Pisces does not have a natural defense mechanism to help it when it is overwhelmed by feelings and sensations and emotions and projections and energy and the vibes; the Crab has its shell and its claws, the Scorpion has its stinger and its exoskeleton, while the fish’s shiny scales can reflect light but do little to deflect the emotional spear. This can make Pisces a bit more vulnerable to emotional wounding than the other two water signs. Pisces may also feel a bit more emotionally overwhelmed than other signs at events or by the emotions of the world, which can be a bit confusing for more brash signs (hi, Aries) or more disconnected signs (looking at you, Aquarius).
In addition, as a combination of a mutable sign and a water sign, Pisces is moved deeply by the desire to merge with the other, to enter so deeply into their understanding and consciousness that two can become one. This can show up in love relationships, and it can also show up in other relationships without life where a Pisces may find it hard to do anything that might hurt the other person, even if they are feeling a bit like a fish out of water or delicate. A Pisces might also seem a bit quick to change in temperament or have rapid emotional switches, both because of the mutable, quicksilver nature, and also because of how they might be impacted by what happens around them when their energetic fields are still porous.
This desire to become, to take on, also comes from the duality of the two Pisces fish as they swim. It is said that one fish always swims towards the heavens, bringing down the knowledge from above, while the other fish always swims underwater, bringing up the knowledge from the depths. This is also what gives people with strong Piscean energy in their charts their connection with the more mystical aspects of the world, their extra-attuned psychic senses, their closer connection to the magic of the world. They are constantly integrating and bringing together this information from the other realms, from the beyond. They want to know and enter into the mysteries. This is something that can sometimes drive Pisces to seek to escape from the day-to-day world. It may be in part because they feel overwhelmed, it may be in part because they want to expand beyond this dimension; Pisces can seek to lose itself in things that seem to bring the Divine closer or make the daily realities fade away.
Neptune is the modern planetary ruler of Pisces (Jupiter was the ruler before Neptune was discovered). As the god of the seas, Neptune has an apt planetary connection with Pisces; in fact, Neptune is currently in the sign of Pisces in the sky and will be there until 2025, giving us all some extra energy around this desire to transcend reality and engage with the mysteries of life. If you have your chart (check out www.astro-charts.com !) Then you can also see both where Pisces is, what planets occupy that sign, and also where Neptune lies, along with the houses for both, to understand in more depth how you may engage with all that is mysterious, where you may be most likely to go with the flow, and how you connect with your intuition.
Throughout this season, enjoy taking some time to celebrate the liminal space that Pisces occupies! Winter is letting go of its grasp upon the land, spring is just around the corner with Aries season to come. This can be a particularly potent time to engage in dream-work, to connect with your intuitive side, to learn how to balance your emotional connectivity with some good boundaries, to revel in your creative, imaginative spirit and faith in what will come.
We hope this month brings you many opportunities, time alone, and a certain kind of love that only you can experience for yourself. Xx
