The sign of Pisces

The sign of Pisces corresponds to the last winter phase that precedes the spring one, it marks the end of a cycle and the restart, in a moment of suspension before awakening. Neptune, God of the sea, who rules the sign, represents the dream phase and illusions, deception and escape from reality, but also creativity, intuition and spirituality. His influence pushes Pisces to move away from normality to look for the different and non-conformism, often leading them to a real search for the mystic.
Water sign, which in astrology means emotionality and intuition, even the physical characteristics of this element have a lot to do with the psychology of those born under the sign of Pisces. Water adapts to any container, it does not have its own shape, but it takes the shape of the container; moreover, the water has a natural resilience, which allows it to adapt to climatic conditions, freezing or evaporating depending on the temperature. And this is the profoundly Neptunian nature of the sign of Pisces, the continuous metamorphosis, the fusion and the chaos: it is the touching of the extremes, the cycle of life, the limit between the extremes well represented by the symbol of the tao evoked by the two fishes representing the sign (two fish swimming in circles).
The archetype associated with the sign of Pisces is the Fool, which represents letting go, abandoning oneself. It is the innocent who has reached maximum maturity after becoming wise, the vital id, without limits, conditioning and structures, who manages to enjoy and celebrate life in all its forms and manifestations and whatever happens. For the Fool there are no definitions, everything is a game, and the most serious way to take things is with irony and self-irony. However, he has fun with the profound awareness that everything is illusion, life itself is a game and celebrates its beauty, in every moment.
Pisces have great skills of empathy and connection with other living beings and with the collective unconscious, a great capacity for adaptation, metamorphosis, empathic fusion with the other to the point of forgetting oneself, not respecting borders and limits, and sometimes not even recognizing them because they tend to disregard reality and to live everything with total enthusiasm. Its maximum expression is art, where they can transmit their intuitions and perceptions, while reasoning, numbers, everything that brings to the concrete leads to Pisces dissatisfaction and desire for something new.
Sensitive, unstable, changeable, they sometimes risk getting entangled in the illusions that they themselves have created and their lack of practical sense, combined with a good heart that does not expect anything in return, can lead them to live negative experiences that can put them to a severe test. it even leads them to live in perennial fear and anxiety and cause addictions.
