Pisces (February 19th-March 20th)

Happy Pisces season everyone!

In light of the fact that Birds of Valhalla is bringing back their astrology line (even if for a brief period of time), we have decided to make a blog post for each sign! 

If you would like to learn more about your sun sign, and your natal chart in general, consider doing a free astrology birth chart reading with astro-seek!

Symbol: Two fish, swimming an opposite directions.

This depiction is supposed to emphasize the duality of this sign. While many think of Gemini- the sign of twins as being the main representation of duality, the twins stay together, while the fish separate and transcend. 

Element and Modality: Water and Mutable

Water signs are known as being the "cry babies" of the zodiac. However, that's only what someone not familiar with these signs may see. In reality, water signs have a deep-emotional intelligence. 

They are also considered a "Mutable" sign. A Mutable sign represents the end of a season.  In this circumstance- Pisces individuals are born at the end of Winter. They tend to be characterized by their flexible nature. 

This combination of element and modality means that Pisces are quick to adapt their emotions to the situation at hand. This can be seen as a great skill when utilized correctly- being able to easily flip from the comforting friend, to the cut-throat business executive. However, when not properly utilized Pisceans can be seen as flakey, or may have their heads stuck in the clouds.

This ability also makes them great artists and musicians!

Ruler: Neptune and Jupiter

Pisces has historically been ruled by two different planets. Neptune is the current modern interpretation, while traditionally, the ruler is Jupiter.

Neptune is the more mystical of the two planets, and is associated with intuition, imagination, and dreams- which does go hand-in-hand with Pisces being a water sign. Strong intuition is a trait both found in the water and Neptune ruled aspects.

Jupiter is the planet of luck, expansion, and growth. This could mean that the dreams of Pisces may have a bit more power in terms of becoming reality. Jupiter being the traditional ruler also goes hand-in-hand with Pisces being the 12th zodiac on the zodiac wheel. This makes them the oldest zodiac sign, known to have the wisdom from the previous astrology signs, and able to properly grow from those experiences.

Famous Pisceans:

Rhianna, Millie Bobby Brown, Steve Irwin, George Washington, Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell.

Strengths and Weaknesses:

Overall, the Pisces is extremely creative, empathetic, and sensitive towards others. However, they can be flakey, overly emotional, and fail to take care of their own needs. 

The Soap:

The Pisces soap (and matching solid fragrance) is scented in Pisces Frosted Fjord, a blend of phthalate-free fragrance oils: Star Showers, Fresh Snow, and Azure Coast. Fruity fragrances grapes, orange, and lime combine with florals of rose, geranium, jasmine, and lily, and the unique fragrances of spring water, sandalwood and musk to create this intricate scent. This fragrance is meant to combine the dreaminess of Pisces with elements of the contrasting harsh winter season they are born in.

The coloring of the soap is shades of blue, which is traditionally associated with Pisces- especially as their symbol depicts two fish's circling each other. 

The crystal adorned on this soap is a clear quartz, and is meant to promote emotional and physical healing- allowing balance and calm, which may be beneficial to a Pisces that can switch their emotional state at the drop of a hat.

This soap and solid fragrance combo is now available for shipping, so grab yours while you still can!
