Honoring Pisces Season: A Journey Through Its History
Let's dive into the depths of the two fishes.
Calling all dreamers and spiritual seekers!
Pisces season is here, ushering in a time of heightened intuition, deep emotions, and spiritual reflection. As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces represents endings, transcendence, and the infinite cycles of existence.
Let's explore the rich history, symbolism, and astrological significance of this mystical water sign.
The History of Pisces in Astrology
Pisces, the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac, is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the duality of the physical and spiritual realms.
This imagery stems from ancient mythology, where Pisces is often linked to the Greek tale of Aphrodite and Eros, who transformed into fish to escape the monstrous Typhon.
Their story symbolizes divine protection, transformation, and the ability to navigate between worlds.
In astrology, Pisces is ruled by two planetary influences:
Jupiter (traditional ruler): Represents wisdom, expansion, and spiritual growth.
Neptune (modern ruler): Governs dreams, illusions, intuition, and the subconscious.
Together, these planets shape Pisces into a sign that is both visionary and deeply connected to the unseen realms.
Pisces is a mutable sign, meaning its energy is comfortable with change and adaptation. With it being symbolized by two fishes, it makes sense (just keep swimming!). It is also the sister sign to Virgo, with these two signs representing the balance of faith, spirituality and unseen mysteries with logic, analysis and evidence.
As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces carries the wisdom and experiences of all the signs before it.
It is deeply empathetic, intuitive, and imaginative, often blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. This is a sign that understands the interconnectedness of all things and often serves as a bridge between the material and spiritual worlds.
Pisces’ Symbolism and Astrological Significance
Pisces is known for its deep connection to the unseen, often receiving insights through dreams, intuition, or creative expression.
As one of the most empathetic signs, Pisces absorbs the emotions of others, making them natural healers and caregivers. Ruled by Neptune, Pisces energy is artistic, poetic, and musical, thriving in realms where reality can be reshaped.
Pisces is drawn to spiritual practices, seeking to merge with the divine and explore the mysteries of existence, adding a mystical lens to everyday experiences.
This sign understands that not everything is meant to be controlled, teaching the art of release and trust in the Universe.
During Pisces season, we are invited to pay attention to dreams, synchronicities, and inner nudges. This is a great time to get in touch with you creativity and channel emotions through music, art, writing, or dance.
Practice compassion and offer kindness to yourself and others, while also setting healthy boundaries. Meditate, engage in ritual work, or explore esoteric wisdom during this season.
And above all else, release and surrender. Let go of what no longer serves you and trust the unfolding of your path.
Pisces energy can be seen in mystics, artists, and visionaries who have transcended ordinary thinking to bring something deeply meaningful to the world.
Think of figures like Albert Einstein, Nina Simone, Michelangelo or Bruna Nessif (😉)—all embodying the boundless creativity and spiritual depth of this sign.
(I am a Pisces North Node, just sayin’)
Pisces season is a time to dissolve boundaries, embrace your intuition, and flow with the rhythm of the Universe.
As the zodiac cycle comes to a close, this is a powerful period for reflection, healing, and preparing for new beginnings as close out another cycle and prepare for the astrological new year once Aries season begins.
May this Pisces season awaken your dreams and guide you toward deeper wisdom.
