Feet of the Disciple
The astrological glyph for the sign of Pisces is usually interpreted as representing two fishes, linked by a thread or bar and pulling in opposite directions. The two fishes are said to represent the personality and the soul aspects of an individual, heading in opposite life directions. Since Pisces rules the feet the two fishes of Pisces can also be read as two feet facing in opposite directions – the feet of the ordinary personality, and the feet of the person who responds to the tug or pull of the soul life. It seems appropriate timing to use the period whilst the sun is in the sign of Pisces to apply our attention to the feet, recognising as we do so that “energy follows thought”.

In the 8th century BCE Romulus, who founded the city of Rome, established a calendar that had only 10-months starting in March with the spring equinox and ending in December. January and February did not at that time exist, winter was not considered worthy of counting.

Behind us is the sign of Aquarius that just came to an end. And, this might be true from our everyday perception in the three worlds. From another perspective as a greater whole, however, we are travelling in a reversed way.
