When we let the Cosmic Story inspire us and choose to live a
symbolic life, we can more easily bring that heavenly energy down to earth. The
other option is to remain caught up in the fears and illusions of patriarchy,
fighting the energy of change.
Here are some images to meditate on for Pisces.
Sedna symbolizes some of the goddess energy of Pisces. She sacrificed (Pisces) her fingers to create the bounty of the seas, exemplifying the need sacrifice our ego's perceptions and open to what comes to us from the deep unconscious. When we turn our attention to our dreams, we find new life and new sustenance. The Collective Unconscious is open to us during Pisces.
Kali is a good example of Plutonian goddess energy with her demand that we release the old life so we can engender the new life waiting to emerge in us. But first we have to die to the old vision.
Christ embodies the energies of Pisces--the need to say, "Not my will but thine', to surrender to the Source of Life, to sacrifice our ego desires for the good of the world. Christ speaks to our need to become the light of the world.
These two energies--feminine and masculine--encourage us with the knowledge that sacrifice is part of our human heritage, that life is not all about our desires and needs, but about the needs we share with others. The more compassion and imagination we bring to our own time of "letting go', the more wisdom we will gain from our sojourn through Pisces.
So who will engage in the Pisces challenge with me? The challenge involves releasing the old stories of separation, domination, and violence because we have discovered the new story that we are all one family sharing Mother Earth. Through these times of crisis and transition, we will learn to live together in a very different way. We will create a new civilization which is founded on absolute equality between feminine perceptions of life and masculine ones. We will live in the mystical brain where right and left sides of the brain work together to give us a better vision of how we can live in harmony with the Earth and each other. Let us create a world full of depth and light and beauty, where we take responsibility for our actions and treat each other and the Earth with courtesy and respect.
Starting on Tuesday, February 18th, when the Sun goes into Pisces for a month, create a different daily routine for yourself, one which includes playing in those creative, inner spaces where we can touch the Source and imagine a different way to live in the world.
