We are now under the influence and light of Pisces—the Light that saves the world, sign of World Saviors. Pisces is the last sign in the zodiac ending the zodiacal year. Pisces gathers all gifts, transgressions, vicissitudes, talents and wonders of the eleven previous signs, placing them in Neptune’s waters where distinctions dissolve, hard edges soften, separative behaviors unite. All the determined individualities merge into a chalice of Oneness.
In Pisces the world dreams more, becomes more sensitive, hopeful, imaginative, visionary and musical. Pisces is the sign of the arts, artists, musicians, healers and sinners who become saints. Pisces senses what’s real. Like Gemini, Pisces is “not of this world.” Instead, Pisces resides in the etheric, the “body electric,” a nonphysical world surrounding the physical. The etheric is radiant, filled with light, color and symphonic sound. Everything is united. From the etheric all energies enter the Earth.
Some Pisces experience life as too much radiance. They must veil the radiance with substances that hide, diminish and tone down the intensity, usually using drugs and alcohol. If we understand these words, we begin to understand the reality of the life of Pisces—the sign, the person, the month, the age. Pisces often suffers. Their suffering leads to their art, music and healing skills all of which “inform and saves the world.”

Esoteric Astrology as News for the week of Feb. 20–26, 2014 For Sun and Rising Signs
Aries-March 21–April 20
For several years you will face at times a sense of being or living in secrecy, aloneness and sometimes isolation—a spiritual situation. Within that isolation unexpected events occur like bolts out of the blue, electricity, revelations, the hand of God. You may feel you’re being forced into solitude and, actually, you are. But it’s good to be in this state. Something about you isn’t revealed. And then it will be.
Taurus April 21–May 21
There’s one special supportive person in your life. No matter what you do or say, they’re your friend. When things become edgy, precipitating separation or break up, you ensure that connection is tended to and renewed. You contribute greatly to groups, offering originality, change, new narratives. Often your needs are implementing by others. Pray they arrive soon.
Gemini May 22–June 20
Potency and intensity are two significant encounters you’re having. They will continue, having to do with your destiny, which you continue to step away from.

Each stage of your life unfolds, from change to stability. Things abruptly disappear and then appear.

When anything traditional occurs you pursue instead the nontraditional. Because your mind is always focused partly on the future in order to bring forth everything new.

It’s a catalyst for the new world order.
