On March 13, 2017<\/strong><\/span>, the Sun entered the mystical sign of Pisces. You can expect many opportunities this month for deep meditations and participation in Vedic ceremonies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pisces, called Meena in Sanskrit, is the most mystical and transcendental of all the signs, giving you the ability to go beyond the limitations of ordinary experience. Pisces is a water sign ruled by the 200% planet Jupiter. This zodiac is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions in the sea of consciousness. Swimming in opposite directions means ending duality. A fish symbolize fertility & prosperity.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the natural 12th<\/sup> house of the zodiac, Pisces is associated with liberation and losses. Liberation can mean freedom from karma and limitations…enlightenment.\u00a0 Loss could mean expenses, wasting time and energy, or any type of loss. Although we mostly think of loss as negative, it could be positive if you lose your limited self and ego. On a practical level, be careful to keep your expenses down and not to overspend. Do service by helping people this month however you are able.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 12th<\/sup> house is associated with foreign countries and places of solitude like ashrams, hospitals, and jails. It also relates to long distance travel. In a foreign country, you may feel more uncertain and have to depend more on intuition. Pisces can help you develop your psychic powers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 12th<\/sup> house is associated with sleep and with sexual activity. This month could be a good time to celebrate your sexual powers, perhaps by learning some tantric yoga. Pay attention to your dreams and see what messages come to you. If you have trouble sleeping, take it as an opportunity to get up and meditate during the quiet of the early morning hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Venus and Mercury are also transiting Pisces \u2013 Venus is exalted and Mercury debilitated so they will balance each other out a bit. Having a strong Venus should make it a good time to enhance your connection with the Goddess during Vasanth Navaratri. With Mercury rather weak and confused, be careful with communication and technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sun will transit the following nakshatras (birthstars) within Pisces:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Purva Bhadrapada March 4th<\/sup> \u2013 March 16th<\/p>\n

<\/sup><\/strong>This is Dr Pillai\u2019s own birthstar, and it gives the fire to a worshipper up in life and the power to raise the evolutionary level of the world. It is associated with purification through fire and penance. Purva Bhadrapada\u2019s symbol is the front two legs of a funeral cot. Purva Bhadrapada can help you become purified and on fire with divine consciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uttara Bhadrapada March 17th<\/sup> \u00a0\u2013 March 30th<\/p>\n

<\/sup><\/strong>Uttara Bhadrapada is the second half of the pair with Purva Bhadrapada. They are sometimes called the \u201cscorching pair\u201d. Uttara Bhadrapada is associated with the kundalini energy. It also contains the cooling energy of water which balances out the fire. Uttara Bhadrapada can help you remember the big picture as you apply determination to reach your goals and increase your intelligence through spiritual practices.<\/span><\/p>\n
