Pisces 199his Principles of Zoology. This is the symbolism of the fish
as it is worked out on the biological plane. Biological
evolution, the evolution of body begins with the watery
beings that are governed by Pisces and ends with the body
of man that is governed by Aquarius.
Spiritual evolution begins with Capricorn and ends
with Pisces in the reversed order of the wheel. The
evolution of the personality begins with Libra and follows
the planetary path. The evolution of the soul begins at
the same point and follows the path of the equinoxes. They
both meet in Aries where the personality merges in the
soul. The evolution of the individual consciousness starts
with the death of universal consciousness from its
differentiation of the group-soul. It follows the path of
the cycles of Moon along the same planetary path until it
meets the universal consciousness in Libra as the
manifestation of objectivity and sex consciousness.
Pisces is the third watery sign of the zodiac. All the
three watery signs mark “the end of things”. Cancer marks
the end of life after death. Scorpio marks the end of
consciousness or the end of a physical life. Pisces marks
the end of a spiritual cycle which means the beginning of
a better one. Scorpio is the mental death. Cancer is the
physical death. Pisces is the spiritual escape of death. The
secret of longevity is concealed in this sign. The two fishes
of this sign are described as “the two eyes of the Mother
which do not wink”.
The disciple who comes under the influence of this
sign or who is born under this sign, can transmit and
receive grace through the eyes. It is said that the larvae of
a kind of fish in the ocean are hatched by the looks of the
mother. Blessing through grace of look is one of the
faculties that a disciple of this sign will inherit.
