The Sun enters the waters of Pisces this week, the terminal sign of the zodiac, ruled by Jupiter and Neptune.
Pisces is the culmination of all the other signs — their experiences, gifts, and failures. Pisces also straddles the world of the soul and the world of becoming.
Astrological ages, which run backwards along the zodiac due to the precession of the equinoxes (basically, the wobbling of Earth’s axis is counter-clockwise), last for approximately 2,150 years. Many astrologers argue that there’s quite a bit of overlap between them. So, if any of this even merits speculation (and just for fun, let’s say it does), in the age of Pisces, humanity has been striving for something greater than itself, divinity. But in the next age, Aquarius, humanity must strive to make itself greater.
If Pisces reminds us that we are all One, Aquarius reminds us that We are all one. Our task, then, on this bridge between ages is to recognize and deepen our connection to each other.
Read your Sun sign for the “big picture” and your rising sign for “where the work is.”
