PISCES

Cycle of life
Balance of opposites
Learn from the past
For new possibilities

​Pisces, the fish, is the last sign of the Greek zodiac.  This sign runs from around February 19 to March 20.  This water sign is usually depicted by two fish swimming in opposite directions.  This reminds me of the Yin-Yang, and has some similar connotations.  Pisces symbolizes the union and balance of opposites and the lessons learned throughout the year.

Moving forward in our lives often means learning the lessons of balance.  Balance between fantasy and reality helps us create new vision for our future.  Balance between hopes and fears helps us face life with courage.  Balance between joy and pain means that we live our lives.

Pisces is a sign of empathy, compassion, and being in touch with our emotions.  When in balance, Pisces holds space for others and their challenges and growth.  These are the traits that encourage building communities and helping others.  These are often the characteristics of the artist, healer, and teacher.

Pisces is highly spiritual.  It is a sign of psychic and spiritual growth.  It encourages spiritual exploration, rich imaginal life, and exploration of the unconscious.  Pisces often find a deep understanding of themselves.  They delve into the magic and mysteries of life beyond what most can touch, taste, and see.

These fish represent emotions, healing, and deep awareness.  They are symbols of intuition, subconscious, and the cycle of life.  Fish are connected to psychic ability and the sacred feminine.

Taken to extremes, this can lead to a cycle of despair and self pity.  Pisces can be pessimistic or self-sacrificing.

However, when brought into balance and grounded in reality, Pisces is the perfect cap of a cycle.  This is a time of reflecting and learning from what has passed, then letting it go.  This is a time to connect with the rhythms and cycles of life.  Then, be open to the possibilities to come.
