Pisces Season
Come, dip your toes into Pisces season, the final season of the Astrological year.
From Februrary 19 until March 20 (Spring Equinox), Pisces season offers the opportunity for deep reflection of the past astrological year in order to learn from the many lessons.
As a water sign, Pisces is highly intuitive, empathetic, and sensitive to the subtleties of emotion. As we dive into the watery depths of Pisces season, we are invited to surrender to the ebb and flow of life, tapping into the intuitive and compassionate energies of this water sign.
Governed by Neptune, Pisces infuses our lives with creativity, empathy, and spiritual insight, urging us to connect with our inner selves and the world around us on a deeper level.
Pisces rules the twelfth house, the domain of spirituality, transcendence, and the subconscious mind. This house represents the end of the astrological journey, symbolizing a return to the source, dissolution of boundaries, and a connection to the collective unconscious.
It encourages us to explore our dreams, fantasies, and spiritual beliefs, guiding us towards greater self-awareness and enlightenment. Pisces is symbolized by the fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the duality and fluidity of its nature.
Sitting opposite the astrological wheel is the earth sign of Virgo which is commonly associated with the 6th house in modern astrology. The sixth house represents our relationship to health and wellness, daily routines, and how we show up in service to our family or our community. This axis of relationship between Virgo and Pisces is one that is balancing and supportive.
While Pisces teaches us the importance of compassion and empathy, Virgo reminds us to ground these energies in practicality and discernment. Together, they encourage us to serve others with humility and dedication, recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings and the importance of holistic healing.
Gifts and Challenges
The gifts of Pisces season lie in its ability to inspire creativity, compassion, and spiritual growth. It invites us to embrace our sensitivity and intuition, connecting with the deeper truths that lie beyond the surface of reality. However, Pisces energy can also be challenging, as it may bring up feelings of confusion, escapism, or emotional overwhelm. It is important to set healthy boundaries and practice self-care during this time, ensuring that we remain grounded and centered amidst the emotional currents.
Working with Pisces Season
Embrace Creativity: Engage in artistic pursuits such as painting, writing, or music to tap into your creative potential. Pisces season is a fertile time for imagination and inspiration, allowing us to channel our emotions into expressive forms of art.
Meditation by Water: Find a quiet spot near a river, lake, or ocean and spend time meditating by the water's edge and allow the soothing sounds and rhythmic movements of the water to calm your mind and open your heart to the wisdom within.
Dream Work: Keep a dream journal by your bedside and record your dreams upon waking. Pay attention to recurring themes or symbols, as they may hold important messages from your subconscious mind.
Nurture Compassion: Extend compassion not only to others but also to yourself by practicing self-care rituals that nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Take time to rest, reflect, and recharge your emotional batteries.
Ritual Bathing: Take a ritual bath infused with essential oils, bath salts, or flower petals to cleanse and purify your energy field.
