Pisces in Astrology: The Divine One

Pisces in Astrology is symbolic of the ocean. An energy that feels connected to everything. A vessel that connects others to the Divine

“I’m not, really. Not anymore. I remember what it felt like to be Brandon Stark, but I remember so much else.” The words of Bran Stark from HBO series Game of Thrones to his company Meera Reed, whose thoughts reveal Bran’s journey from cripple to Greenseer.

Bran’s journey is similar to the Pisces soul on earth. An automatic displacement of their spiritual nature in the material world. Inherently amorphous, Pisces in the skin of the earthly realm is a restricted expression. Like a fish swimming in the ocean, gliding, flowing to the subtle movements of the water, its nature is inseparable from the ocean itself. The intrinsic connection they sense with others is part of the mystery and mysticism of the Pisces. Its inclusive perception sees beyond reality, beyond the skin we are made of, guided by intuition. In essence, it means seeing others as no different from them and accepting each being truly as they are.

However, the view of a unified reality can cause difficulties. A form of naiveté with Pisces, living out its motto, “I believe.” It believes in love and others and that creation is fundamentally good. “I always see people as babies once.” A Pisces Sun, Ascending, Jupiter and Mercury in the 12th house friend, once shared and his reason for forgiving easily. It’s also a kind of innocence which believes that one does not have to play by the rules of the material world to learn common sense and learn the lessons of our earthly experience until forced to.

Like Bran, who learns of his shape-shifting warg abilities, Pisces energy can feel others, step into their shoes and view life from their perception. Being the last constellation of the zodiac belt, the energy has accumulated the qualities of all 12 signs, the consciousness of life. A gift of an all-seeing eye, an optic nerve, connected to the Divine source. A high sensitivity that can have them feeling the energy of a room, compassion towards the hurt, empathy towards a complete stranger. Born with rose-coloured glasses, they are the flower-power children who see the beauty in the world and beauty in others. They are the idealist, upholding a grand vision of what might be as opposed to what really is.

Without grounded reality, the Pisces can lose themselves in the ideal. Zoomed into what they prefer to see, blurring the rest, the ideal can become projected expectations turned disappointment. A fanciful, perfect world, they imagine others in their own making. Their beliefs and illusions are shattered when the world fails to live up to their standards. A painful reality that follows a distrust of the outside world and turns inward. With liquid energy, without reality to ground them, internal chaos eventually sets in from the disappointment; thus, displacement in the material world is confirmed. The lost faith is what constructs a necessary escape route — the makings of the stereotypical Pisces narrative associated with escapism and addiction.

Pre-disposed to emotional fluctuations, under a healthy expression, it is subtle and passing. With a damaged and distorted expression, the mood can go from one extreme to the other, soft to abruptly defensive. The latter being the response, a defence mechanism to protect the fish from their perceived harsh reality and rejection. Over time, their waters darken and pollute; they cut themselves off from the world, shut down their essence, and halt their soul’s evolution. Ironically, disconnect their divine thread from others.

Pisces in Astrology is the source of the Divine.

Once Bran fully develops into a Greenseer (a more powerful warg), he can see the past, present, future, and other time realities in his dreams and through the help of animals and other beings.

When the Pisces energy begins to understand itself as no different from its material counterpart, bearing witness to the divine even in the material world, the sense of displacement fades. Coming from the same energetic axis as Virgo, they begin to understand they, too, are of material essence.

The energy of earthy Virgo works with facts, sees patterns and basks in the daily grind. A diligent force seeking to improve functions of life. Its discerning nature forms the groundwork to achieve its goals. Like fellow earth signs Capricorn and Taurus, Virgos are result-oriented, focused energy to succeed and be the best. It is preceded by the ego-driven Leo, perfecting its unique creative expression on a tangible level. The highest Virgo expression takes pleasure in the routine, in its task and joys in each moment.

Integrating its polar opposite Virgo energy, Pisces is brought down to reality and into balance. It keeps them present, working within their earthly senses. The discernment quality of Virgo creates purpose and shapes their spiritual nature. A purpose that individuates their significance in the world, expressing their unique ego selves. It gives their mystical, mutable, divinely sourced imagination a place in life. The Pisces integrates its vision of idealism into reality. A balanced view that allows creative flows and a lived practical reality, the Pisces energy can connect with others in the high expression of the visual and healing arts.

When the Pisces remembers the accumulative energy of all 12 signs, the same elements that make up the earth, its unique creative ego can truly dissolve the perceived separation. Having to also develop their natural position as a Greenseer, no longer crippled by its material skin, they genuinely connect with reality. A conduit through creative, imaginative force, the Pisces flow connects others to the mystical source. Pisces, in Astrology, is the Divine One bringing magic down to earth.
