February Astromusings – Happy Birthday Pisceans!
As the Sun moves through Pisces from February 18 to March 20, we celebrate the dreamers, mystics, and visionaries of the zodiac. Pisces, symbolised by two fish swimming in opposite directions, represents the eternal dance between the physical and spiritual realms—a sign of deep intuition, boundless creativity, and profound compassion.
In honour of this Piscean season, we explore some of its rich symbolism, astrological influences, and notable figures born under this sign.
The Soul’s Journey of Pisces
No story reflects the spiritual path of Pisces more than Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid. Like the mermaid, Pisces often experiences sacrifice, longing, and transcendence in pursuit of a higher ideal. She gives up her voice, endures great suffering, and ultimately chooses service over self—a theme that also ties Pisces to its opposite sign, Virgo, both of which symbolise devotion.
Pisces is a mutable water sign, highly adaptable and deeply connected to the emotional undercurrents of life. The Piscean journey is one of surrender—learning to trust the flow, dissolve ego attachments, and reconnect with the divine.
The Age of Pisces & Its Influence on Spirituality
The Age of Pisces, which began over 2000 years ago, was marked by the birth of Jesus Christ and the rise of major world religions. Christ himself is an archetype of Pisces—the saviour who suffers, sacrifices, and redeems. The symbol of the fish (Icthys) was used by early Christians, and many stories from this era reflect Piscean themes of faith, devotion, and illusion versus truth.
As we transition into the Age of Aquarius, the emphasis shifts from external religious structures to personal spiritual awakening, encouraging humanity to embrace collective consciousness, innovation, and humanitarian ideals.
Neptune: The Ruler of Pisces
Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams, intuition, and the unseen realms. Before Neptune’s discovery in 1846, Pisces was traditionally ruled by Jupiter, linking it to spiritual wisdom and expansive consciousness.
Neptune dissolves boundaries, blurring the line between reality and illusion.
It governs the arts, music, film, poetry, and mystical experiences.
It teaches non-attachment, reminding us that everything in the material world is transient.
This theme is beautifully captured in the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, where Orpheus, desperate to retrieve his lost love from the underworld, is granted his wish on the condition that he does not look back. Yet his longing overcomes him, and Eurydice dissolves before his eyes—a powerful lesson in surrendering to fate and trusting in the unseen.
Pisces in the Zodiac: The Final Initiation
Pisces is the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac, representing completion, endings, and spiritual transcendence. Its journey is captured in the Twelfth Labour of Hercules, where he must steal the red cattle of Geryon, symbolising the liberation of the soul from material bondage. This final task reflects the Piscean theme of sacrifice leading to enlightenment.
In the sky, Pisces is represented by two fish tied together by a silver cord, mirroring the soul’s connection to the physical body and its journey toward ascension.
Piscean Figures & Their Legacy
Many of history’s most visionary artists, poets, and spiritual leaders have been born under Pisces, embodying the sign’s depth, imagination, and mysticism.
Artists & Creatives – Michelangelo, Renoir, Botticelli, Handel, Chopin, Johnny Cash, George Harrison.
Writers & Thinkers – Dr. Seuss, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Kenneth Grahame (The Wind in the Willows).
Mystics & Healers – Edgar Cayce, Rudolf Steiner, Meher Baba.
Actors & Performers – Elizabeth Taylor, Glenn Close, Drew Barrymore, Liza Minnelli.
Pisces also governs compassionate leadership, as seen in Shane Fitzsimmons, the former NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner, who became a symbol of selfless service during the 2019–2020 bushfires. His Pisces Sun and humanitarian numerology reflect the devotion, resilience, and emotional intelligence often found in this sign.
Professor Brian Cox – A Piscean Mind Exploring the Cosmos
One of the most extraordinary modern Pisceans is Professor Brian Cox, the physicist and former musician whose work bridges the scientific and metaphysical realms. Born on March 3, 1968, Cox is known for his ability to translate the mysteries of the universe into poetic and awe-inspiring narratives, a hallmark of the Piscean gift for blending logic with imagination.
From rock music to quantum physics, Cox embodies Pisces’ fluid ability to navigate different realms, reminding us that science and spirituality are not opposing forces but complementary perspectives on the same cosmic dance.
The Healing Wisdom of Pisces
Pisces governs the feet, lymphatic system, and pineal gland, making grounding practices essential for those with strong Piscean energy.
Biochemic cell salt: Ferrum Phos (iron phosphate) supports the blood and immune system.
Herbs & Aromatherapy: Sandalwood, jasmine, myrrh, and ylang-ylang promote spiritual balance.
Healing Foods: Leafy greens, brown rice, and citrus fruits support the lymphatic system.
Rituals: Meditation, dream journaling, and water therapy help Pisceans reconnect with their inner world.
Neptune also rules addiction and escapism, making it crucial for Pisceans to channel their emotions into creative or spiritual outlets rather than becoming lost in illusion.
Pisces & The Path Ahead
As Jupiter stations direct and Mars moves forward, this month carries a sense of momentum and realignment—an opportunity for all signs to integrate the spiritual lessons of Pisces before stepping into the active, initiating energy of Aries season.
For Pisceans, this is a time of self-reflection, deep inner knowing, and embracing their unique role as intuitive healers, artists, and visionaries.
Happy Birthday to all the Pisceans—may this season bring clarity, inspiration, and connection to the divine flow of life.
