The Archetypal Energies
Pisces season is such a beautiful orchestration of all the powers of the universe coming together for a grand completion.
A sweet elevation before the next cycle.
As the very last sign in the zodiac wheel, when we enter Pisces season, we do so with all the knowledge, lessons, triumphs, and personal evolution we’ve achieved from going through all the zodiac seasons prior. It makes you curious why we don’t align the calendar year with the calendar of the cosmos?
This mystical sign brings our awareness to our connection to all that is.
Dissolving the barriers between the physical world and the ethereal plane, the gift of Pisces season is the undeniable feeling that you are so much more than your Earthly human body. Our energy fields are boundless, formless, and unlimited in our creative potential. Every cell in our body is a manifested form of universal vibration, the energy that creates worlds is you.
All previous versions of ourselves are up for graduation, we now will transcend them with the help of Pisces’ healing energy.
Aquarius season revealed to us where we could break free from stagnant thinking and bring our unique creative genius to the world.
Armed with that intel we can dive deep into the core of those limits and release them.
Let’s embark on the energy of Pisces Season together. Start here:
Imagine you are on the ocean floor, what feels like thousands of miles below the surface.
All you see is water, so far down.
It’s dark and cold.
There are metal chains on your wrists and ankles holding you there, impossibly buried in the porous sand below your feet.
You know the surface exists and everything in your body begs you to break free and begin to swim.
Yet all you can think of are the reasons why you can’t. How would you get out of the chains? And even if you do how will you be able to swim all the way to the surface? If you did then where would you go? What would you eat? What’s up there? Maybe it’s worse than being down here?
Then one day you relax into the world beyond your body, beyond the chains, beyond the ocean and the surface.
You connect to the universe and the limitless of your creative potential.
When you feel the expansive power that surrounds you, that is you, you see how you’ve been holding so much fear, disappointment, self-pity, guilt, and even shame in your body and your whole auric field.
Those dense, dark energy currents become so obvious in the stark contrast to this electric, illuminating, magical sense of wonder that is so available to you if you can just tune in - and notice it.
Those lower frequency vibrations have disconnected you from this truth, your true essence, often across lifetimes.
You begin to piece together how every experience has led you to exactly where you are in this moment and from that spiritual vantage point, every lesson now feels clear.
And as you find this perspective, you feel an unraveling.
As you look down, the chains around your extremities are getting weaker. You feel empowered. You continue to soften these disillusions of the ego.
You know you are worthy of your soul desires, and you decide to reclaim your energy.
Your head falls back with surrender as you feel deeply in your heart the totality of your being; your experience is completely your responsibility.
You are in charge, you are the deliberate creator of your own reality.
No one can chain you down, but yourself. Through past trials and tribulations you have done your best, and going forward you continue to show up on this planet every day breathing and taking another go of things. That is enough, not only is it enough, it is the goal.
To live the human experience is to do just that experience.
Owning your experience gives you the authority to transcend these lower frequencies. As you forgive yourself, you are filled with compassion for others, and your forgiveness extends their way.
All of a sudden you realize you are starting to float.
The chains have dissolved around you into particles of dust.
Free from the density of these emotional blocks you begin to imagine the life available to you, the one you’ve always felt pinched off from.
This excites you.
You feel the massive space created in your auric field. You are now open to new adventures.
So where will you go?
Where will this freedom take you?
How will you use it to live the most amplified version of yourself?
As you float free you begin to get quiet. You tune in to all the subtle feeling sensations all around you and you allow your body to intuit and calculate these directions from your true essence, your soul frequency. Revealing to you where your energy needs to go next.
Drenched in the healing waters of Pisces meditation and visualization are very heightened and productive now. Be lucid in your dreams. See the messages coming to you and lean into them.
Trust the feeling of the path forward.
As your intuition illuminates the next right step, follow it with fervor.
Your intuition is your personal guide. It wants to keep you safe. The more you can open up to its guidance, the more proof in the pudding you will have to validate its divine wisdom.
Even when you want to calculate, qualify, quantify, and reason before you trust, don’t. These limitations of the ego have been uncaged.
Relish in the freedom you now have to ride the exciting waves of serendipity.
As Mandev Khalsa (Kundalini Teacher & Award-Winning Film Maker) described it…
- the Universe will always work in its own self-interest, and you are the universe.
So it’s got you!
You are not separate from this all-wielding omnipotent force. It is you and it wants to provide for you (itself).
Marvel in the way your life will unfold when you get out of the way and begin to take pleasure in the process of intentionally aligning with all that you desire.
Under the energy of Neptune, reconnect with that sense of wonder, the ability to dream and visualize your desires. So when your dreams begin to manifest here on the earth plane, even if you don’t know the how, you will recognize the way forward by the familiar feeling of it. You will connect to the visceral feeling of your dreams vibrational frequency.
As you get the impulse you begin to swim.
It feels effortless as you swim with the current.
You are enjoying the feeling of your body flowing and moving.
You don’t know when you will make it to the surface, what shore you will land upon, or what you will meet as you walk into the next phase of your journey. But you feel assured knowing that you have this new vision of yourself and your connection to all that is to guide you as you initiate this next phase of yourself in Aires season.
Moon Cycle & the polarity balance
Pisces season brings us a beautiful new beginning (new moon) in its sign. There will also be a releasing (full moon) in the sign of Virgo.
This juxtaposition brings balance to your system if allowed, by exercising the polarity aspects of the opposing signs.
New moon energy: Find the Things You Don’t Need
The new moon in Pisces will give you the opportunity to see beneath the things you need to heal.
The whispers of your liberated soul essence are calling you forward.
Pisces is the completion, an ending of the circuit. We can allow ourselves to let go of the things not aligning with where we are going. Give yourself permission to put down the things that are taking energy from you.
Rise above the hustle-bustle of everyday life by taking the spiritual vantage point.
Stop and listen. Be very receptive. Practice figuring out how you receive your intuitive messages best and then take them seriously. These are your porch lights illuminating which doors to open.
Full moon energy: Consider the Details
Our dreams demand details to become a reality.
The Virgo full moon asks us to let go of judging where we are now, and stop comparing it to where we are going. That perspective will only slow down this incredible portal of manifestation.
Instead, we can focus on how we are moving our dreams into reality through our daily efforts. With the grounding energy from the moon in Virgo reflecting our Pisces dreams the opportunity is for wish fulfillment is at an ultimate high.
Possibility and potential can be transformed now into actual achievement very quickly when you anchor the daily details in alignment with your biggest dreams.
Such an exciting time! Can’t wait to see what everyone is up to.
Body Correlation
As Pisces governs our Lymphatic System, the cleansing waters of our body come into focus.
The Lymphatic System is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins. By transporting lymph, an infection-fighting fluid, throughout the body the Lymphatic system is a key component in our overall immune function.
Also responsible for maintaining a fluid balance in our bodies, the lymphatic system collects excess fluid and particulate matter from our tissues and then deposits them in the bloodstream.
The lymphatic system, unlike the circulatory system, is an open loop. This means that lymph flows in only one direction — upward toward the neck.
What does that mean for you?
It means that moving your muscles and breathing squeezes the lymph vessels and that supports the transport of the lymph fluid back into the circuit.
You are a required participant in the success of your lymphatic system working properly to be able to keep clearing those toxins and prevent blockages from forming.
Sounds a lot like our Pisces instructions!
Proper care of the lymphatic system involves keeping that fluid flowing.
One profound way to do this is to just walk.
When you go for a walk your legs, especially the calf muscles, will act as a natural pump that moves the lymph fluid throughout your body.
The double brilliance of adding a simple commitment to get outside and walk, shoot for 45 minutes to an hour, is that walking (especially in nature) is one of the best ways to connect with your intuitive messages.
As you gently move your body it becomes very receptive to a meditative state.
It is also important to keep the body well hydrated to have optimal levels of fluid for the lymphatic system to move. Cellular dehydration is very common and can be attributed to many of the body’s systems going off-kilter.
An interesting perspective is offered by Dr. James DiNicolantonio in his fascinating book: WIN: Peak Athletic Performance, Optimize Recovery and Become a Champion. He does a real deep dive into the topic of restoring cellular hydration by recovering lost sodium and other essential electrolytes by adding them back into your water.
I’ve been throwing Nuun tabs in my water for years now, but apparently, they don’t contain nearly enough sodium to achieve the cellular hydration Dr. DiNicolantonio recommends in his book.
On the lookout for more of these foundational electrolytes I found LMNT Elemental Labs, a company whose tag line for their electrolyte powder is “Stay Salty”.
Their electrolyte powder hosts 1000 mg of sodium per serving and clean ingredients. So far it’s terrific.
Let’s keep those internal waters of the Lymphatic system flowing, performing the powerful work of cleansing and renewing our body.
Herbs
The plants associated with Pisces are ones that live in the sea. These cleansing plants have a big job, working to keep the water clean and providing an incredibly nutrient-dense source of food to the creatures of the deep.
And they do exactly the same thing for us.
First we have: Chlorophyll
Packed with antioxidants, Chlorophyll is a powerful source of vitamins A, C, E, and K. It is also a rich source of minerals like potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium.
Taking Chlorophyll will increase the flow of oxygen in your body, cleansing toxins and preventing the absorption of harmful pollutants. It also will improve respiratory function and soothe inflammation which increases your healing capacity.
This incredible plant is widely available in supplement form, liquid, capsule, and powder form. I personally have had positive results with the NOW brand.
In fact, as I write this, I’m curious if a daily Chlorophyll supplementation would outweigh the performance of a multi-vitamin? (Bio-hacking experiment - yes, please.)
Next Up: Bladderwrack
Bladderwrack is a form of kelp that has been used medicinally for centuries. It helps the body absorb nutrients and expel toxins.
This herb will cleanse the kidneys, clear lymph congestion, and treat bacterial and fungal infection. A powerful ally in detoxifying the tissues of our bodies, Bladderwrack also stimulates the adrenal gland function and boosts recovery from long-term illnesses.
So how do you take Bladderwrack?
A tonic form will target metabolic function.
As a topical application, the skin will be enhanced.
In the bath (my favorite solution to every ailment) the breakdown of cellulite and inflammation will be supported.
Crystals
According to the ancient tales, Aquamarine was the treasure of mermaids and brought good luck, fearlessness, and protection to sailors. The name comes from the Latin phrase aqua marinus, which means “water of the sea,” revering its sparkling ocean-like color.
Oh, Aquamarine. There is a feeling of relaxation that washes over just thinking about the name of this Piscean stone.
Imbuing the power of tolerance, Aquamarine is a powerful ally for the extreme sensitivity felt during Pisces season. This stone reduces stress by quieting the mind, and providing support when feeling overwhelmed by responsibility.
Holding Aquamarine or keeping it near you will offer clarity to your perception. It will clear confusion and offer closure to things ready to be let go.
This dreamy bluish-green crystal promotes your self-expression.
Pisces season holds the power to heal us on the deepest levels.
Visiting the mystical realms of our deeper connection to all that is reminds us of who we are at our core. It restores our faith in the journey.
The human experience is layered with polarizing forces, the dance of duality.
This is the realm of maximum soul growth. However, that can be exhausting at times, and honoring that space is the key to rejuvenation. As the ego pushes forward forcefully, the soul quietly whispers.
Unbound freedom lies in the following of those graceful quips from your intuition.
Key Takeaways to IMAGINE with the Sun in PISCES:
Journal Prompt:
Pisces season is a tender one. Touching the places of darkness that have been desperately held onto by your ego for as long as you can remember is a sensitive situation.
Caring for a tender heart requires kindness.
Doesn’t bliss sound like the way to treat your soul with kindness?
Joseph Campbell says to follow your bliss and it will lead you to everything you desire. Perhaps that bliss includes a heart healed from the weary journey, ready to emerge renewed.
Write these questions down and let the answers flow:
What brings you bliss? Can you prioritize that today even for a few moments? And maybe tomorrow, how could you build on that a bit more?
Excited for the journey?
