The 3rd decan of Pisces: the meaning
Mars closes the zodiac in the series of faces, Jupiter having come before it.
The triplicities keep it too, this decan pointing back to Scorpio, the water of autumn, ruled by Mars and, among the moderns, by Pluto. This double agreement gives an unexpected color to the gentlest sign: a compassion that does not let itself be pushed around and knows how to show its teeth when needed.
One would describe a person able to mobilize intensely for a cause: defending a mistreated animal, a petition to save a threatened place, relentless support for a loved one mistreated by a bureaucracy. Her compassion is nothing passive; it turns into action as soon as an injustice touches her. Art, music, and politically engaged theater could also channel this energy, whose strength often surprises those who saw only gentleness in her.
Exhaustion and excessive reactions would be the risks of this third. Mars in a water sign might swing a person from great gentleness to sudden anger, which baffles loved ones. Total commitment would also risk draining reserves, especially when a cause stretches over years. The end of Pisces would do well to pick its battles, surround itself with allies, and allow itself rest between fights, without guilt.
