Pisces Full Moon
For those of you who are not familiar with esoteric
philosophy – or do not know it well – I will remind
you that all is energy. Thus you should simply relax
and try to feel the energy rather then concern
yourself with understanding everything.
All is Energy!
During the lecture you can ask questions or make
comments. After the meditation you may also ask
questions.

Pisces is the 12th sign of the zodiac.
Being the 12th sign it represents the final
stage in the evolution of man and his place
in the universe.
In this sign is the desire to use all that has
been learned and assimilated in order to
gain perfection, of man as an individual
and humanity as a whole.
Pisceans readily adapt to
change!
Pisces’ Astrological Symbol
Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite
directions. Pisceans often feel like they are being pulled in
different directions, making it difficult to make concrete
decisions. The symbol of the fish has been associated with
followers of Jesus Christ.

Pisces’ Astrological Glyph
The glyph for Pisces can be seen as depicting two fish
swimming in opposite directions. As well, it shows two
crescents of receptivity pointing outwards, held together
by the line of matter.

• the union of a mortal with something from

• the meeting is fraught with difficulties
• there are always conditions attached
• it usually ends in disaster or difficulty
• because of the ineptitude of the mortal
How does this relate to Pisces?



Pisces is the last sign, the completion of the
cycle.
Every sign leaves its trace in Pisces; there is not
so much a particular Piscean dilemma as that
Pisces embodies the human dilemma.
In this last of the zodiacal signs is represented all
of man’s helplessness, his longings, his dreams,
his needs, his powerlessness in the face of the
universe, his delusions of grandeur, his longing
for love, his sense of a mystery or a divine
source which he strives for, yet cannot wholly
reach without great sacrifice.




You might say that in every Pisces, symbolized
by the two fishes trying to swim in opposite
directions yet bound together by a golden cord,
there is this dilemma of the meeting of two
dimensions.
There is the ordinary mortal side, which is used
to facts and realities of a tangible kind.
And there is also that which inhabits the dark
depths, and which occasionally flashes its tail
above the water, catching the sunlight,
entrancing the mortal on the shore.
How this meeting is dealt with is the story of
each Piscean life.



Some Pisceans simply follow the mermaid
down, forgetting that human lungs cannot
survive underwater. Here we have the derelicts
of humanity, the lines of the junkies and the
chronic alcoholics and the hopeless, the waster,
the despairing, the abject.
Or the escapism of Aphrodite and Eros.
For other Pisceans, the fairy tale has a different
ending. It is here that we can see the genius of
men such as Einstein—where the glimpse of
other realms and of a universe barely
comprehensible to the ordinary mind in its
majesty and infinity—is translated through the
human brain, offering to the world a charting of
the unknown waters.




Obviously, not every Piscean is an Einstein or a
drunkard.
But perhaps the task of every Piscean is to come
to terms in some way with the transpersonal
realm, and to have the courage to be its
mouthpiece.
Here we find the poets and musicians, the great
actors and playwrights, the visionaries and
mystics who attempt to bring to ordinary life a
glimpse of something else. (Which you will note
in our list of those born in Pisces.)
This can be through a work of art, or it can exist
in the humblest expressions of human love.
We’ll now mention some of the
challenges to Pisces.
Remember though we are
talking about the energy of
Pisces and there are many
types of energy.

Pisces and Christianity



Associations of the Christ story with
astronomical factors abound. As the Bull and
Ram had been worshipped during the preceding
Ages of Taurus and Aries, the Fishes became the
great mystical symbol. Christ was said to be a
“fisher of men”
Another Christian symbol, the sacrificed lamb,
likely refers to the end of the prior age, Aries,
just as the slaying of the Bull is believed to
represent the end of the Age of Taurus.
On the way to his Crucifixion, Christ made
twelve stops, known as the “Stations of the
Cross,” another allusion to the twelve Zodiacal
signs.

Similarly the death of Christ, the Crucifixion,
could contains a symbolic reference to the end of
the Age of Pisces when the Age of Aquarius
begins. Christ’s body was fixed to the Cross
(Cruci-fixion) but astrologers know of
something called the “Fixed Cross.” This is the
group of four so-called “fixed” Zodiacal signs
forming a cross within the circle of the Zodiac:
Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. When the
Vernal Point precesses into Aquarius, the four
seasonal points, the two Equinoxes and two
Solstices, themselves always forming a cross,
will have moved into the fixed signs or Fixed
Cross of the Zodiac from the mutable signs
where they are now.


The Fish are one of its great symbols. Why?
 Firstly, there is the aspiration.
 Second to the aspiration is the urge towards
self-sacrifice.
Compassion and love of an impersonal,
unbiased kind are also Piscean virtues extolled
in this last era. Love thy neighbour as thyself,
turn the other cheek - these are Piscean
aspirations. Of course you have to remember
that there’s another fish to the pair, too. But
much of the history of religion in the last two
thousand years has forgotten about that second
fish. It’s locked down in the basement, and
popularly referred to as the Devil.
The Labours of Hercules
The Labour in Pisces
There are several variations of the myth
concerning the labor of Hercules in the sign
Pisces. We are told that there was an island
where lived a human monster with a body
of three men united. He had a herd of red
cattle, guarded by a shepherd and a twoheaded dog. Hercules received orders
(Pisces is the sign of obedience) to bring
these cattle from the island, across land and
water to the sacred city.
Hercules completes his task
Hercules sailed to the island in a golden cup
and when he arrived there he climbed to the
top of a mountain and spent the night in
prayer.
Hercules completes his task
Then he killed the two-headed dog but he
did not kill the shepherd.
Hercules completes his task
He also killed the owner of the red cattle.
Hercules completes his task
Here is the beautiful part
of the story: Hercules
placed all of the cattle in
the golden cup, in which
he had sailed over to the
island, took them to the
Sacred City, and offered
them in sacrifice to
Athena,
Goddess
of
Wisdom.
What is the three-bodied man?
Hercules has had a vision of something he has to do. He
sees humanity owned by a monster, a three-bodied man,
the symbol of a human being with mental, emotional and
physical bodies united. Now humanity, the human
monster, is ready for salvation and the real work of The
World Savior can begin as a whole with the group concept
underlying the work rather than individual soul saving.
What are the red cattle,
shepherd & two-headed dog?

Transmitter of Light
If Jesus [or Hercules, or you] as a human being, en
rapport with his [your] soul, becomes a transmitter
of light to the sons of men, so we can extend the
concept and think of humanity as a whole with all
minds held steady in the light, transmitting to
lower kingdoms in nature that spiritual energy
which will raise them up into heaven. That is the
work of humanity. We are so occupied with our
own problems that we forget the larger picture. It
is to be noted again that the keeper of the cattle,
the form aspect, was also killed but the shepherd
and the cattle were raised up in the golden cup.

Why are we here tonight?
The time of the full moon there is a direct alignment
between the energy of the sign the sun is in and the affairs of
the sign the moon is in.
Sun – Pisces – total renunciation
Moon – Virgo – fulfills service intent
In our meditation this evening, let us visualize a common
goal for humanity. Groups of men and women of goodwill
bonding together to support right-human values. Let us
use our magical powers of manifestation, and see this
happen. Leaders and ordinary people alike, afire with
goodwill and humanitarian vision, acting in concert for the
good of mankind as a whole.
