We come to the end of a cycle, the last sign of the zodiac. Whereas Virgo is seeking perfection, Pisces sees the inherent perfection in all that is and transcends the boundaries of form to a deeper understanding of cosmic consciousness and our connection to each other as one. As such, this sign is often seen with iconoclastic gifts that gain public recognition. It carries a little bit of each of the previous signs and feels everything. This sign is a psychic sponge.

In ancient fairy tales and stories, there is a recurring theme of the union of a mortal human with a being from another realm, such as a mermaid falling in love with a human, or the legend of the Swan Prince where Siegfried falls in love with a swan. And of course, the gods in general are always falling in love with mortal woman and producing exceptional offspring, which can be geniuses, full of compassion and understanding for the suffering of the world, victims, or completely overwhelmed by it all. Pisces has an otherworldly transcendent feel that is hard to define but is all about the human dilemma, the mystery, the longing for Divine Source, the longings, the helplessness, the beauty and magnificence, the dreams, the fantasies, and the vastness of it all.

It is important for those born under this sign to establish good boundaries for themselves, take time to release the absorptions of the day (shower, walk etc.) and to embrace the connection to high side of man’s spirituality.
