The Face of the Absolute

In-depth portrait

Between March 11 and 20, the Moon concludes the zodiacal cycle in its own deep waters. This last decan is the most mysterious of the entire year: the natives of Piscear carry something inexpressible — a memory of all that precedes, a sensitivity to endings and beginnings, a permeability to the invisible world that can be a gift or a burden depending on the state of their inner boundaries.

This final decan bears the imprint of dissolution: the ego is thinner here than anywhere else, the veil between dream and reality more permeable. These natives may have intuitions of a disconcerting precision about others, premonitory dreams, empathic capacities that exceed the ordinary. The shadow is the erasure of the self — the difficulty of maintaining a stable identity within a sign that tends to dissolve everything together.

The Eight of Cups appears here a second time in the corpus of decans — for Piscear as for the first decan of Pisces — but with a distinct and complementary meaning: where Saturniel reads in it the disciplined renunciation, Piscear reads the consented surrender. The soul that turns its back on familiar cups and advances into the lunar darkness is not fleeing — it is answering a call that the ordinary world cannot hear. This is the exact image of this decan: the ending that is already the beginning of the next cycle.
