Pisces Careers<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sun entered Pisces on Friday, so as we enter this Piscean month, I thought I would take a look at careers for this sign.\u00a0 Maybe you have children or grandchildren born under this sign, or you are a Piscean looking at a change of career.\u00a0 If you are Piscean and consider yourself to have a fulfilling career,\u00a0 you could share that under comments, e.g. the Piscean daughter of a school friend of mine is a deep sea diving instructor!<\/p>\n

Film Director<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Weighing in as a Piscean Film Director is Mike Leigh<\/u>.\u00a0 The two birth signs associated with acting are Leo (for drama) and Pisces (for sensitivity).\u00a0 A certain proportion of actors go into directing, and Leo is the top sign for Film Directors, because they need to be in charge of the whole.\u00a0 But Mike Leigh is one of the Pisceans in this field: he has such a fluid Piscean style, encouraging the ad lib in his actors.\u00a0 He has Sun and Venus in Pisces, and Pluto, the North Node and Chiron in Leo.\u00a0 His birthday is 20th February.<\/p>\n

Hypnotist<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hypnotist Paul McKenna<\/u> is not Piscean, but has its ruler Neptune exactly conjunct his natal Sun in Scorpio. He has Chiron (healing and problem-solving) in Pisces.<\/p>\n

Magician<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dynamo Magician<\/u>, like Paul McKenna, also has the Sun conjunct Neptune (Pisces is also associated with illusionism) within one degree, but in Sagittarius, so they have different applications.\u00a0 This conjunction is close to the Galactic Centre, and sextile his Pluto, which gives him extra power.<\/p>\n

Dancer<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Rudolf Nureyev<\/u>, the ballet dancer, was a man of mystique, and turned his back on his native Russia.\u00a0 His power is shown by a trine between his Sun and Pluto, and his challenge shown by his Sun’s exact square to Chiron.\u00a0 His Sun in Pisces was conjunct with his Midheaven (Careerpoint) also in Pisces, in his 9th House of Foreign Lands (suggesting his emigration).\u00a0 His birthday was 17th March.<\/p>\n

Poet<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

19th Century poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning<\/u> was a Piscean. She was famously closeted (a Neptunian state) and rescued by Robert Browning.\u00a0 She had 5 (half) her planets in Pisces in the 6th House of Health, and health was a major issue in her life.\u00a0 Her birthday was 6th March.<\/p>\n

The modern poet Amanda Gorman<\/u> who recited her poem at the inauguration of Joe Biden, is Piscean.\u00a0 I observed at the time:<\/p>\n

“Amanda was born under the poet\u2019s sign of Pisces, with Mercury (mindset) and Jupiter (philosophy) also in that sign … Her Sun trines Chiron, an indication of a Healer.\u00a0 She has Mercury sextile Venus, the Writer Archetype …\u00a0Mercury sextile Neptune indicates a subtlety with words and the openness of the mind to spiritual inspiration.\u00a0 Venus exactly conjunct Neptune brings the ability to create exquisite art forms.\u00a0 Mars sextile Neptune allows the combination of activism with compassion.”\u00a0 Note the prominence of Neptune in her talent.\u00a0 Her birthday is 7th March.<\/p>\n

Clairvoyant<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Edgar Cayce<\/u> was one of the greatest clairvoyants that ever lived.\u00a0 He gave thousands upon thousands of readings, first on health conditions, and then on karmic themes, even predicting his own future lives.\u00a0 He had four planets in Pisces, and his Mercury and Saturn were conjunct the North Node, describing the karmic nature of his readings.\u00a0 His birthday was 18th March.<\/p>\n

Actor<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Notable actors born under the sign of Pisces are Alan Rickman<\/u> (from my blog):<\/p>\n

“He had the Sun conjunct Venus in Pisces, was greatly loved and had the ability to move people.\u00a0 The Sun, Venus and Mercury, three personal planets all in Pisces, had a mystique and an enigmatic quality which was part of his appeal.” \u00a0<\/em>His birthday is 21st February.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Taylor<\/u> (from my blog):<\/p>\n

“Mercury in Pisces in her chart is exactly opposite natal Neptune (channelling but also obfuscation) portrays the fact that she would dip in to the\u00a0collective unconscious with her mind and her heart.” \u00a0<\/em>Her birthday is 27th February.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Michael Caine <\/u><\/p>\n

Michael has the Sun, Venus and the North Node in Pisces.\u00a0 His birthday is 14th March.<\/p>\n

and Sidney Poitier<\/u> (from my blog):<\/p>\n

“With over half his planets (6) in the Water element, he was able to convey simmering emotion.\u00a0 The Sun in his chart was in Pisces, together with Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and Uranus… His Sun in Pisces opposed Neptune \u2013 providing an ocean of sensitivity, emotion and talent.” \u00a0<\/em>His birthday was 20th February.<\/p>\n

Artist<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Michaelangelo<\/u>, one of the most prominent Renaissance artists, was a Piscean, born on 6th March.\u00a0 He had Sun\/Mars and the Moon in that sign.<\/p>\n

A modern artist born under this sign is Anish Kapoor<\/u>, born on 12th March, who has the Sun and Mercury in this sign.\u00a0 He specializes in installation and conceptual art.<\/p>\n

Musician<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Kurt Cobain<\/u> of Nirvana (a Neptunian name for a band!) had half his planets (5) in Pisces, a self-effacing sign, placed self-effacingly opposite his Ascendant.\u00a0 He fell victim to addiction, and poor health, and suffered from chronic pain.\u00a0 But he was so charismatic as to have represented Generation X.\u00a0 His birthday was 12th March.<\/p>\n

Beatle George Harrison<\/u> took the Neptunian route to spirituality, being a devotee of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.\u00a0 George had the Sun and Venus at opposite ends of Pisces, but both within his 5th House of Creativity.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0His birthday was 25th February.<\/p>\n

Scientist<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

from my Piscean Archetypes blog:<\/p>\n

Genius<\/em><\/p>\n

Famous Example: Albert Einstein<\/em><\/p>\n

Other signs can lay claim to science, but Pisces lays claim to talent and genius by virtue of employing the whole brain.\u00a0 The theory of relativity came to Albert Einstein in a dream.<\/p>\n

I wonder what Einstein was thinking about when he said\u00a0 \u201cWhat does a fish know about the water <\/em>in which he swims <\/em>all his life?\u201d\u00a0 <\/em>He too was born on 14th March.<\/p>\n

Other Careers<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Photographer, Nurse, Fisherman, Chiropodist\/Podiatrist, Reflexologist, Pharmacist, Plumber, Marine biologist, Secret Agent\/Spy, Ice Skater, Missionary, Spiritual Teacher<\/p>\n

Pisces is a supremely talented sign, and even if you are not a Piscean, you may have a planet in that sign to cultivate.\u00a0 I myself have the Part of Fortune in Pisces in my 11th House of Friendship, so I dedicate this blog to my friends.\u00a0 Enjoy the season of Pisces!<\/p>\n

Aspects\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

We start the week with a Fixed Star alignment.\u00a0 <\/strong>Our Sun is aligned with Sadalmelik on Tuesday (22nd, all the twos) which is the Alpha Star in the constellation of Aquarius.\u00a0 According to \u201cStarlight Elixirs\u201d by Michael Smulkis and Fred Rubenfeld:<\/p>\n

“A gradual accumulation of the awareness of group interaction and group energy takes place unconsciously for most people who regularly interact in any group\u00a0 situation.\u00a0 The use of this star will gradually improve one’s ability to bring the energies that are unconscious into better focus.\u00a0 Often in such groups there are many things left unsaid which people together are a little afraid to speak of.\u00a0 This star will give them a little more strength to say them and likely give them the trust to hear such words and in this way share all that much better in a group.”<\/p>\n

Wednesday (23rd) brings a harmonious sextile between Mars and Neptune.\u00a0 The last sextile we had, on Friday, Jupiter sextile Uranus, was high energy all right as promised, but the high energy nearly all belonged to Storm Eunice.\u00a0 We were bystanders, sitting at home, watching and waiting.\u00a0 I did manage to get a research questionnaire out to friends…<\/p>\n

Anyway, Mars sextile Neptune is a completely different vibe from Storm Eunice.\u00a0 Though it has energy (Mars), it is softened, made more gentle, and spiritualized by virtue of the involvement of Neptune.\u00a0 It brings refinement to your actions and activities.\u00a0 This favours flowing exercise such as Tai Chi, Qijong and Yoga.\u00a0 Combining the physical with the spiritual is ideal, and achievable.<\/p>\n

Neptune is again in evidence on Thursday (24th) when it makes another sextile, this time to the planet of beauty, Venus.\u00a0 This can bring soothing waves of serenity, which hopefully you may experience.\u00a0 People may come more into tune with each other.\u00a0 New artistic avenues may flourish.\u00a0 We will be trying out a local restaurant that evening, which is putting on a vegetarian menu, where Venus = dining and Neptune = refinement (apologies to meat eaters).<\/p>\n

On Friday (25th) prepare to batten down the hatches, for Mercury squares Uranus.\u00a0 This happens at 2.22 a.m. (all the twos), so may invade your dream life with a quirky visual episode.\u00a0 Seriously, consider loopholes in advance for the element of the unexpected will be uppermost, and there may be clumsy or controversial events on the day.\u00a0 I.T. and electrical equipment may be especially problematic.<\/p>\n
