Pisces and Poisson

[David &/or Jane]

--------------------------------
From: rj 
I haven't been following this thread closely (so could be repeating) and
I don't know much about the nitty gritty of astrology, but isn't Pisces
the twelfth house in the zodiac, the last incarnation of the soul's
cosmic passage before it gets to scoot off to the next level? (I'm no
good with the cosmic jargon. Sounds more like a computer game when I
write it.) Like, the soul, by the time it gets to Pisces, has got this
incredible storehouse of experience/knowledge(?) from its journey
through all of the other houses. It's a culmination.(?)

People born under the sign are characterised as creative and sensitive
(in a spiritualistic sense?) and all that, the reverse of these being
impracticality and indecisiveness and general wishy washy-ness.

>From me:

This "last incarnation of the soul's cosmic passage" before the next
(whatever THAT is) is very close to an upcoming (SPOILER!!!) theme of
"Transition."

Night and Day are obviously cyclical.  Zodiac also.  Each house is a
transiton, but some transitions are Paramount.  The Sun has its cycles, its
hours or segments, w/in a 24 hour period.  A prime Sun hour @ roughly 3AM
has been called the "Witching Hour".  Those w/ I Ching sources might
recognize this as KKorresponding to the tri-gram "Keeping Still."
"Keeping Still" is the Place Unseen.  It is the mysterious hour AFTER
Night's fullness (12 Midnight, "The Abysmal"), when creative dreams have
been incorporated.  FOLLOWING "Keeping Still" is life's first spark (6AM
"The Arousing"}, before the sun breaks, when life is at its earliest
stirrings.  "Keeping Still" is the line of TRANSITION, the place where
souls go before the next "Go-Round."

"Fear of the Transition" or maybe "Fasc(isty)ination w/ it."  Is the
transition the zero?
