As a Pisces myself, I find it interesting to be able to comment on the fact that my "ruling" planet (Neptune) has entered my sign for the first time in almost 165 years. Wow! The time span alone makes this seem impressive, but this is probably more so for other signs that are unaccustomed to this planetary energy. Perhaps in time I will discover otherwise, but I suspect with time that more people will understand Pisces because they themselves are embracing this energy.
So let's cover the "not so good" face of Pisces, as the qualities to be mentioned can make life a lot more distressing if this option is chosen. Yes, that's right...there's an implied choice or act of free will that one can take (or not). Let's start with escapism, of which there are numerous ways in which to choose from...drugs, alcohol, avoidance and passive/agressiveness to name a few. Life lacks luster and in an effort to feel better we choose to experience an experience that is supposed to make us feel better...at least for awhile. Our imagination gets permission to do what it wants, and when repeated often enough it may lead to physical abuse of our bodies, or psychological abuse that can affect relationships of all kinds. Life seems challenging, and with a growing sense of disenchantment we could begin to feel as if life is not worth living anymore. With time we see ourselves as a victim, and in search of a savior we can entangle others into our web only to discover that life is even more complicated. The thinking behind this approach was influenced quite heavily by folks like Walt Disney, who created many "happily ever after" stories that life rarely mimics. Our only real savior can only be found within ourselves, hence the idea that we are one with God.
The "good" face of Pisces is found in accepting things as they are, and by not trying to force things into being what we want them to be. That applies to all things, especially relationships. This brings the word "unconditional" into the conversation, and an acceptance that there's a reason behind all things (even when we don't understand). Having expectations implies disappointment when we don't get what we want, or better yet, a real lack of faith that all things work in their right and perfect way. The flip side of disillusionment is inspiration, and this can allow us to elavate our lives proactively. We may be attracted to metaphysics and/or spiritualism, or we may be attracted to artistic expression through the creative process. Making this almost magical is the ability to share it with others, and in turn touching other peoples lives. When we do so we discover we get more than we give.
More to come in the months ahead...
