“To know the mighty works of God, to comprehend His wisdom and majesty and power; to appreciate, in degree, the wonderful workings of His laws, surely all this must be a pleasing and acceptable mode of worship to the Most High, to whom ignorance cannot be more grateful than knowledge.”
— Nicolaus Copernicus
In honor of the Sun in Pisces, here is a Planet Waves FM show from last year, named Pisces and the Astrology of Awakening. Eric discussed the large grouping of planets in the sign of the Fishes, pretty much all of which are slow movers that are still clustered there. There’s also an interview with fellow astrologer and counselor Eric Meyers, and music by Vision Quest. You may listen to the show here.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 19
(The Day of the Explorer) | Birthday Readings: Aquarius | Pisces | Others
Your creative brain seems poised to deliver a few golden nuggets; there might even be a moment of sublime inspiration. Keep in mind, though, that even magic beans need soil, water and proper nutrients to grow a stalk. Whether or not you experience the sudden flash, keep feeding your grey cells.
Written in the Planets
Today, Venus squares a centaur named Amycus. A few ideas arise from this. One possibility is that you might discover a hang-up regarding notions of “proper” behaviour, particularly to do with relationships. Another is that you might find yourself rebelling against an opportunity, such as the chance to get closer to someone. If you encounter something of this kind, it’s probably worth taking the time to find the root. Be patient with yourself, if time is indeed required.
Thanks for the re-post of Pisces and the Astrology of Awakening from the PWFM archives. Truly some great information that adds more consciousness, awareness and growth, to the Sun’s transit of Pisces now.
Also, the latest PWFM with Steve Bergstein was filled with much information/knowledge about the current astrology/situation in consciousness.
