PISCES SEASON HOROSCOPES FOR MERCURY DIRECT
Pisces and Virgo form the axis that I call the polarity of healing. Healing, by nature, implies a wound. A sickness that causes suffering. A disease that distorts what once was clear.
And yet, illness is a grand illuminator. Symptoms are rarely indicative of a virus’s source but illness encourages us to reflect upon the cause before we can create a cure.
In light of these thoughts, let us regard the current pandemic of Corona Virus not as the root illness, but a superficial symptom of a festering infection.
Of course it is important to treat a symptom while we seek to understand the cause. Of course we should wash our hands, take care of our bodies, conserve our resources, rest, and stay home when our immunity is compromised. But these are things we should always do. See Dori Midnight’s recent reflections wash your hands.
The myth from which the zodiac sign Pisces originates tells a story not so different from our current epidemic. The tale situates itself near the end of the Titans long and mighty reign and before the Olympians came into command:
In this time of shifting power, the Titans created the greatest monster ever known, a mixture of man and beast to help restore them to rulership. But this monster, known as Typhonis, was of such wild and gargantuan proportions that it spun out of their control, wreaking havoc on the Titans and Olympians alike. In its fury, the Typhon chases after two of the most innocent gods, Aphrodite and Eros. Being neither warriors, nor proponents of war, Aphrodite and Eros escape by jumping together into the Euphrates river. Tying a cord between them so as not to lose one another, they transform into two fish and swim on into the safety of the infinite.
This story tells us much about our current dilemma. The Typhon, bringer of destruction and chaos, was born into an already chaotic overturning. Power was already hoarded and exerted to extreme proportions. The masses were already unhappy. Revolution was already underway.
True, there is no such thing as innocence and purity in our world. True that escapism isn’t necessarily a healthy way to cope with chaos. Yet, there is wisdom in the escape of Aphrodite and Eros. Under the threat of brute force, love and innocence recognize that fighting chaos is futile. Instead, they tie themselves together. Abandon fury. Wash themselves clean in the waters of life. The most compassionate act they can take is to save each other.
There is little we can do individually to stop the reign of terror of which this virus is a indicator and a cause. But there is much we can do to support community and kin.
Greed has no place here. Panic is a product of unpreparedness. Hoarding supplies is a horrible symptom of fear that puts the innocent who are already at risk in danger.
The best way we can respond to crisis is to harness our infinite care. Is to recognize that power will not save us. Is to see that anything done in service of the collective is embarking on the road towards wellness.
We are, collectively, as healthy as whoever is the most ill. This includes the single mom who can’t get healthcare. The fish who are fighting their way through pounds of plastic. The trees burning in forests where rain once reigned.
Your horoscopes this month are designed to help you find yourself so you can support your kin in chaos. Remember that health is many-fold. Breathe deeply and regularly. Cry often. Ask for support, the kind that feeds you physically and the kind that holds a heavy heart. Rest. Rest. Rest. Regulate your body, mind and spirit so you can show up to this environment we cannot escape. Love yourself so you can value yourself so you can be of service. Everyone is both needed and deserving.

The romance of individualism is ridden with expectations. Demands and opinions you project onto yourself are rarely helpful allies and perfection wouldn’t make you more approachable.
