Pisces Moon

The Moon is frozen here, amongst stars like snowflakes, in the sign of the Fish who bring the end of Northern winter. The lunar Piscean calls upon the wisdom of Jupiter and all eleven previous signs to bring about the end and new beginning of the zodiac, morphing oneself with the destined shifts of the tides and gifted with fluid adaptability.

Pisces Moon culminates the selves of all previous Moon signs, representative of the finale of the horoscope and being in itself of the Mutable quality: your animus, your heart, is everchanging. Like your Jupiterian Mutable lunar companion, Sagittarius Moon, you seek experience for self-enlightenment and always seek to gain new knowledge.

We are coming from cold and dry Saturn- intellectual Aquarius- into the most empathetic of the Water signs, the most changeable of the Mutable signs. We are moving into Pisces' timelessness, liberation from time, having moved on from Saturn's power over Aquarius. Both Virgo and Pisces are seeking a perfect balance, harmony in their own way- perfection in the material (form) vs immaterial (behind the form). Pisces sees everything- how do they live with everything? Very Jupiterian, very difficult. Both change the self. Virgo is about how to change material. Pisces is about changing one's state (meditation, ritual, etc).

As Ursula le Guin asks, in an essay on escapism, what are we escaping from? The answer may be that we are escaping from chains, or cages, or prisons, but more importantly, the goal of escapism is always freedom. When people talk about avoidance in Pisces placements, they neglect to mention that Pisces placements avoid what isn't worth it. There is a Jupiterian tendency towards optimism, just like that of Sagittarius, to what feels good internally, and as a result Pisces floats away from anything that seems the opposite.
