In sidereal astrology, the sun and moon will be aligned with the constellation Pisces, along with Mercury, Neptune and Jupiter.
Pisces is a very mystical, intuitive, but also emotional sign. Like fish in water, it can be difficult for us to see the boundary between ourselves and others, which is great for feeling our oneness with all that is, but can lead us to take on things that do not belong to us.
Pisces is a constellation that can give us visions and insights. As it is the last sign of the zodiacal wheel, it is a sign of detachment, of letting go of what no longer suits us, what hinders us, what keeps us attached to the past.
Pisces is also associated with dreams, and we must be attentive to our dreams, which can be more intense, and to the messages they carry. We must also remember that, as the sages teach us, life is a dream just like the dreams we have at night, and the universe and the great dream of Vishnu.
All this Pisces energy can make us very emotional, hypersensitive and confused, especially until April, because Mercury, planet of discernment, is not very comfortable in this very subjective sign. This is why it is better to wait before making important decisions or having decisive discussions.
Pisces, in its lower aspect, is a sign that can seek to escape reality by using substances, or by being overly optimistic that all is well, when in reality it is not (spiritual bypass).
The new moon will take place in the Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra, ruled by Ahir Budhniya, the "serpent of the deep" and Anantadeva, the serpent of Vishnu who holds the whole universe together, and who is called Pegasus in the West. This is a good time to dive deep inside ourselves. One of the symbols of this nakshatra is a funeral pyre, which reminds us of the ephemeral nature of the material world and our ego/personality, and the importance of remembering our true nature. It is the constellation Pegasus, the winged horse that has experienced this death and transformation and is taking flight. Happy Equinox to all!
