Pisces season: what it colors

Carnival, the last burst of revelry before Lent, long took place in this period, which has been compared to the Roman Lupercalia and Saturnalia, with no established descent.

Mardi Gras precedes weeks of fasting that, in the Christian tradition, lead to Easter. Astrologers see in Pisces, a water sign ruled by Jupiter and then by Neptune, a time of dreaming, empathy, and completion. This series of correspondences remains a symbolic reading, reported in the conditional.

Why is the equinox point in Pisces?

Because of precession: the Earth’s axis wobbles slowly, and the point where the Sun crosses the equator in spring shifts by one degree every seventy-two years against the background of stars. It left the stars of Aries more than twenty centuries ago. The signs of the tropical zodiac, for their part, follow this moving point.

What does tradition say about Pisces season?

It reads the end of a cycle, imagination, compassion, and the fading of outlines in it. It makes Jupiter and then Neptune its rulers. Carnival festivities answer to the season. In the conditional, with no effect on your choices.
