Join us on the 3 of Wands Discord server for a discussion on the 3rd Decan of Pisces. The last 10 degrees of Sign of Pisces are said to be ruled by Mars in both main systems of Decan rulership. Pisces III is associated with the card 10 of Cups in the Tarot, and Austin Coppock calls it “A Cup of Blood.”

In Astrology, Saturn represents limits, restrictions, structure and discipline. The sign of Pisces represents our relationship with what lies beyond the visible, the transcendent, and how we commune with it in order to redeem our experience here on earth. When Saturn bares its weight down on the topics of Pisces, as it will for the next 2 and a half years and continue to in the lives of those born to it, we come to know what it means to look "through a glass, darkly," to peer into the void in search of the ineffable, only to find ourselves staring back. This connection all human beings naturally seek with what lies beyond, some call God, or Spirit or Divinity. Whatever you choose to call it, the gulf which spans between us and it can seem insurmountable for some, for others the fleeting and tenuous contacts made with it can not be easily discerned from the musings of our own imaginations. Saturn in Pisces represents a confrontation with the walls which separate us from both the divine as well as our fellow corporeal travelers. The wall is in fact a necessary structure built to contain individual consciousness, but any structure can become a prison when you can not find its doors. Saturn insists that we come to know and respect these walls, so that we may in time become responsible gatekeepers as well as caretakers for what dwells with in them.

The astrology for the week of January 23rd-29th, 2023 features Venus separating from a frosty conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius and ingressing into Pisces, introducing a mostly glorious and very welcome revival of all matters Venusian. The end of the week will also feature the last appearance of Saturn before the Lord of darkness gets swallowed by light, disappearing under the beams of the Sun, not to reappear until the very end of a more then 6 year reign of Saturn in its domains of Capricorn and Aquarius.
