Agriculturally winter comes to an end, but it's still too cold and therefore too early to begin new agricultural season. Winter have ended, but spring have not yet begun. Plans and preparations for the future was made during Aquarian period. There is really nothing to do at all. This period is a time of reflection on all that happened last year as well as on life in general.
Reflection and often associated sentimentality and nostalgia is more of a character of Piscean season. Piscean natives do sometimes exhibit these traits but not always. Even if they do exhibit these traits, it more due to Mercury, Venus, Mars or Jupiter being in this sign, rather than Sun or Moon. Somehow just before stepping into the new future, we hesitate, second guess and look back to things we liked in the past. Piscean season is the time when all sort of things from long bygone eras suddenly resurfaces and even become briefly fashionable again.
You do no need imagination to get the idea what it looks like as we experiencing it right now. For the last 14 years Neptune was in Pisces and all sort of nostalgia for 80s, 60s, WWII, 20s, Victorian Era, Crusades Era and even Roman Empire suddenly became a thing. People were and still are talking about vintage things and so on. Compare that to early 2000s when newer was always better. You do not need imagination to understand what world of nostalgia is, you are right in it. You need imagination or long enough memory to remember what it was before nostalgia became so pervasive.
I wrote a separate article about Piscean Era, so I will not write more about it here. Here I will continue about Piscean Natives.
Being last of the signs, Pisces has two distinct qualities. One is being a sort of filler that fills the gaps left by other signs. The other is being wise, absorbing all the knowledge and experience of the signs that came before. Each of these traits require further explanation to really make sense of so I will be being with the former.
Being the last sign, Pisces fill in the gaps, left by other signs. All the signs prior to Pisces have their unique distinct role and character to match that role. That all good and well but sometimes there are roles outside of these. Who will do them and why. The answer is Pisces. Already being of very adaptive and flexible water, element, Pisces are further enhanced by being mutable as well. That leaves them rather devoid of personal aspirations and drives. That way they can instead support others and fill the roles left over by others, like wine fills the barrel. Being last often means picking up leftovers left by others. However, many Pisces do find joy in doing these and other things. Generally, Pisces like being useful to someone.
That leads us towards another trait peculiar to this sign, masochism. Despite writing a lot about BDSM, I have yet to mention it in any of my astrology articles. That is because the most BDSM attuned sign is the last in the chart. Well one can argue that Scorp or Capricorn have certain dom qualities, that is somewhat true. However, being a dom myself, I would not be interested in writing about competing doms. One can also argue that Virgos lean towards being a sub, but they are more obedient to the rules than loyal to master. Females and less likely males, of some other signs, like Aquarius or Sagittarius, could lean towards masochism as well. That said you should look at all planet placements to get the full picture.
However, no one is more of a definitive masochistic sub slave than Pisces. Pisces live to serve and can truly thrive being a sub. Such a role can give them sense of belonging and attachment to someone. They find comfort knowing someone needs them. Remember the bound by a thread part from a Pisces symbol, that is about it as well. Pisces, both male and female, is clearly a definitive sub.
When Pisces cannot find that in real life, they sometimes search for it in religion or even some crazy cults. Here lies danger of them joining some crazy death cult or killing themselves over rejection.
Christianity was likely invented by Pisces. Official birthday of Jesus (Christmas, 25 of December) makes him Capricorn, but historians argue that historical Jesus was likely born at a different date. I will add that most likely he was Pisces. Generally, a religion where God both commands people, but also loves them will appeal to Pisces more than to any other sign.
Compare that to other signs. If Taurus would create religion we would worship trees instead, there were historical precedents of such religions in the past. Aries will create something like Norse, where being a warrior is the only virtue and dying in battle is the only way to heaven. Gemini could create Gnostism, worship chaos, or absurdity, or death like in Ancient Egyptian Religion. Leo will create something akin to Sun cult or Sol Invictus of late Rome. Virgo will create Methodism. A Libra can also create something like Ancient Egyptian Religion or Gnostism or even esoteric Vajrayana Bhuddism that focuses on enlightenment and reaching Buddhahood and Nirvana through intellect and meditation rather than karma or pacifism. Scorpio will create a secret cult, like Free Masonry. Sagittarius will create self-absorbed Hellenic/Roman gods. Capricorn will likely create Judaism, Jehovah Witness, Mormonism or Puritanism. Aquarius might second Gnostism or Egyptian gods but likely reject them all as silly superstitions. None of these lasted as much as Piscean Christianity, that shows how much more this sign is attached to their god or how they could manage to appeal to everyone.
Now for the latter part. Piscean wisdom. Pisces have absorbed all knowledge and experience of the signs prior and have reached secret divine truth, that no one else could perceive. Now they live in accordance with this knowledge. Since they reached this divine knowledge, they transcended the common sense and petty concerns that other more mundane signs still have. Because of that their actions often make no sense to other people. Either that or they themselves have no idea what they are doing. However regardless of whether its former or latter, it will look the same to people around them.
Pisces are sometimes hard to understand. They do things other will not think of doing and often unexpectedly at that. Reliability or predictability is not this sign strong suit. They are very emotional, while they are not as famous for mood swings as Cancer, emotions do control them and that has to be taken into consideration when dealing with them. They can snap and do something stupid on whim, leaving someone to pick up the pieces. I would even say that Cancer may frown, rage or complain, but is more likely to keep it together than Pisces.
When it comes to work, all sorts of people care work is suitable for Pisces. They can be nurses, babysitters, daycare, age care, primary school teachers, all sorts of advisors and so on. Hospitality work, such as restaurant server or any hotel role is also their thing to do. Being a water sign, they typically enjoy company of people and enjoy being useful to them. They can also be an ecologist, though plants will not interest them as much as people. That said you can probably convince Pisces to do anything if you tell them, it helps people and make them useful. They do not brim with eagerness to work, like Capricorn but will not fuss out of work and protest like Libra or Gemini.
When it comes to romance female Pisces have clear advantage over male ones. Pisces are so feminine, they attract men like magnets without doing much. They look as helpless, vulnerable and defenceless as a baby and that just works. Taking them seems easier than stealing candy from a baby, and they will not cry loud if you do it. Some men will want to protect them, some fix them, other yet take advantage of them and fuck, abuse and violate them senseless. They work for almost everyone. Only female Libra can match this with well-choreographed act. Generally, Pisces and Libra are probably best signs for women, Sagittarius, Aquarius and Cancer are somewhat close next.
There are however two things that works against female Pisces. One is feminism and social expectation to act tougher; these things can sometimes ruin them as they will listen to the people with authority and force themselves to act against their nature. Second is different planet placements in natal chart. Pisces border Aries, so any planets there can if not ruin the feminine appeal, then severely damage it. Such problem is far less pronounced for someone further away from that sign.
For a man, Pisces is as much of a problem as Cancer is. Both signs are often too feminine to appeal to women. Unlike Cancer however, Pisces sometimes can pull off a complex act to win themselves a girl but keeping it up can be hard on them. Homosexuality can be an answer for them as much as it is for Sun in Cancer males. Here again other planet placements can sometimes be of help when dealing with women, but they equally can be further detriment as well. Just because you have some planets in Aries does not mean guaranteed win, just as much as it can be a loss for a female. Some combinations of planets clearly work better than others.
As for Pisces place in bigger structure, then I already mentioned that Pisces is water mutable sign. It is of course last of both of these types. As last water sign, Pisces kind of perfects appeal to people around them skill. They can fit into many different groups with vastly different characteristics. That will make them good spies or undercover agents.
As a mutable sign, they let others lead them, which fits well with their overall character. You might even say that mutable is natural polarity for a water sign. Compare that to Gemini who can fickle out of anything at any time.
Pisces is supportive, compassionate and supportive sign, that likes to help others and able to fit into almost any role. Pisces is the most definitive submissive masochist of all signs.
