What’s the symbol for Pisces?
- 2 fish with heads and tails interchanged in position [reference: Jataka Parijata, Parashara, Sarvartha Chintamani]
- A pair of fish in the water [majority of text state this]
What is the meaning of the Pisces Symbol?
Fish represent the 1st incarnation of Vishnu, Matsya. This avatar is of high consciousness with power in the formless state of creation. The great waters are the substance from which all creation manifests and contain pure programmable Consciousness. The pair of fish show the split in duality. It’s where the possibility for relativity exists. Without this realm, there would be no supporting foundation for opposites in this world, such as hot and cold, or up and down.
It’s within the living force (the fish) in the deep water (formless creative substance of possibility) that all things become possible within the physical dimension. It’s also the realm that’s just one step away from exiting the physical dimension altogether. The 2 fish are swimming in a circle towards spiritual liberation, or moksha. A circle represents unity. When they unite their heads and tails in opposite positions, they heal the split in duality and unite into ONE, where self-realization and liberation occurs. Liberation can’t happen until the fish UNITE (see picture above).
The symbol for Pisces also holds the energy of evolving out of form. It moves away from structure and limitation. Pisces sits at the highest point in the zodiac before the Great Exit. There are no words, labels, definitions, thoughts, debates, colors, or emotions here. It’s just pure rest, peace, bliss, quiet, and contentment. The mind is still and there’s no agenda. Less is more.
Secret Tip: It’s better to see through one eye instead of two. – [Matthew 6:22]
What Element is Pisces Associated With?
Pisces corresponds with the element of water.
Genesis chapter 1 says that water existed before creation started. Water is the substance from which life and form emerge. It’s a passive, programmable substance. The zodiac sign of Aries manifests from this purified element as the cycle of life starts over again. The end starts the beginning. The great ocean represents unadulterated Consciousness.
Is Pisces Weak or Strong?
Pisces is considered strong in the following conditions:
- Twilight [reference: Hora Sara]
- The last part of Pisces is strong in the 4th house [reference: Jataka Parijata]
- In the 4th house [reference: Sarvartha Chintamani]
PISCES GANDANTA
The ending portion of Pisces is vulnerable, or gandanta (a critical point in the zodiac). It’s important to realize that vulnerable doesn’t always mean bad, weak, or unstable. It can be a point of POWER and one of the most beautiful, blissful, deep, and loving experiences, considering that Venus is exalted at 27 degrees of Pisces. Venus is strong and at her best here. She embodies the energy of LOVE better than any other planet.
Venus rules over the magnetic properties of cohesion and attraction. These qualities allow her to get sucked up by God’s magnetism as she gets to the top of the zodiac in Pisces. This allows for spiritual liberation by magnetism through her inner nature of Love and devotion alone. She has no-thing to be attracted to in Pisces, so her natural flow is towards the obvious: God.
THIS IS WHY LOVE IS THE FOUNDATION OF SPIRITUAL LIBERATION.
Love the Lord your God with all your HEART, with all your SOUL, and with all your STRENGTH.
DEUTERONOMY 6:5
The GREATEST COMMANDMENT is found in Deuteronomy 6:5 (see above quote). It outlines the highest form of Love from a human perspective in Pisces. This Great Commandment sums up the commandments in Higher Reality that make us accountable to God. Aquarius sums up the commandments that make us accountable to one another in the physical dimension (lower reality).
Pisces rests in the commandment of the spiritual dimension, from which everything in the material world manifests.
It corresponds to the lunar half of the zodiac, the side we perceive to be darkness in the physical dimension. But in the spiritual dimension, it leads to the Greatest Light of All.
Look at Your House Placement
If you want to look deeper into the sign of Pisces, determine which house it’s in. Your house placement makes your reading much more precise, specific, and individualized to you. It gives many more details compared to understanding the sign of Pisces by itself.
It also helps to look at where your Moon is in your chart, since it rules over your emotions and how you feel about everything.
Final Note
Please remember to only use astrology as a guideline, not as something written in stone. A good or bad transit or placement doesn’t mean anything will happen for certain, it’s different for each person. God is above all the planets and can cancel any bad karma through the power of grace and prayer for sincere seekers.
If we turn to God, He will turn to us. He directs the planets. If we fear anything, it should be God, not the evil planets. If we love Him with all our hearts, minds, souls, and strength, He will take care of the planets and transits for us. So please don’t give your power away to the planets!
It helps to be generally aware of what’s going on in the sky. This can be done through an app on your phone that shows planets moving through the constellations, which is real sidereal astrology. It gives a good idea of what’s happening up there and down here. As above, so below.
To reduce negative karma and bad planetary effects in life, strict observance to a moral code such as the 10 commandments and the teachings of Jesus can help. After thoroughly cleansing the body and mind with proper diet, pranayama, purification techniques, right exercise guided by a qualified professional, a complete study of scriptures, and right action, daily practice of kriya yoga can deepen one’s relationship with God, activate the light body, awaken the subtle body, and enhance one’s entire life.
DON’T GIVE YOUR POWER AWAY OR BOW DOWN TO ANYONE BUT GOD. That includes gurus. God is One and isn’t dependent on form or image. He’s exalted above all other gods, planets, and humans. If a teaching isn’t based on Love, it’s probably not in one’s best interest.
You rule your own life and are given the gift of free will. Create your own reality.
PISCES IS “LETTING GO” ENERGY.
Real astrology isn’t just about personality types. It’s one of the keys to decoding the matrix. For self-mastery, it helps to understand ALL the signs and not just the one we associate with our personality. Astrology helps us understand our past, so we can design our own future.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you identify as a Pisces only, know there are 11 other constellations in you. It’s good to study all 12 signs to understand yourself better and the energy within you.
In western astrology (which uses the tropical zodiac), the Sun was in a seasonal window of Pisces upon birth. In vedic astrology (which uses the sidereal zodiac), Pisces is different because it means your Sun was literally in the constellation of stars in the sky called Pisces upon birth.
It’s important to understand the energy of Pisces because all the planets express themselves differently in each zodiac sign. The video below explains pure and raw Pisces energy:
