Normally, the earthy, enduring, steadfastness of Taurus season is a period of values-based, results-oriented reflection and re-calibration at a moderate, manageable pace. Taurus is the astrological poster child for the concept of telesis: progress, intelligently planned. And normally, as each sign is a response to the one that came before it, these exalted Taurean traits are exactly what is needed after the feisty, fiery volatility of Aries season. Normally.
Pisces is so very complex. It is singlehandedly the most spiritual, the most psychic, the most sensitive and the most creative. At the same time, when ungrounded and untethered, it is the most confused and confusing, deceitful, delusional, unconscious, and illusive. It is for just such reasons the constellation for Pisces became symbolized by two fish, swimming in different directions with their tails tied together.
In case you hadn’t noticed, Aquarius is here.
The herald of mind-bending, consciousness-raising, evolutionary philosophies and experiences, Aquarius does not arrive for its annual date with the Sun with anything remotely resembling subtlety. No. Aquarius makes an entrance. This year, the arrival of the sign that rules rebellions, revolutions, democracies, and change is not only no exception, but it is far more intense than usual. It is more intense than most of us have seen in decades. In the immortal words of Gil Scott Heron, “… the revolution will not be televised…. the revolution will be live.” And if your community is anything like mine right now, part of it is happening in your neighborhood, just down the street.
