Pisces is, to put it bluntly, the wet time of year. The weather is soggy and we begin to wonder whether Spring will ever arrive. We tell ourselves that the showers bring Spring flowers but we can't see them yet so we need to trust that it is happening. Pisces exemplifies faith in the Universe, Transcendence, God or Goddess. Without Pisces we would all be outside in the mud pulling up the tulips to see if they are growing. A Pisces person is an imaginative and serene individual with a need to express their fantasies and imagination. On the negative side, they can be ungrounded dreamers who seldom complete anything. Pisces is a mutable and feminine water sign.

The monthly installment of The Great Astrological Light Bulb Joke:

Q: How many Pisceans does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Light bulb? What light bulb?

Note: I have no idea who originally wrote this. Erika sent it to me years ago and I still think it’s as funny as it is insightful!

Stone of the Sign - Amethyst

This pendant is a pretty Laguna amethyst wrapped in a simple sterling silver setting. Amethyst, according to tradition, resonates with Pisces. Pisces elevates our spirituality and increases our faith. I recommend using prayer beads or a pendulum made of amethyst. Amethyst is said to benefit people with insomnia by helping them to relax and open to dreams. Silver is a conductor of energy and is said to aid in communication, it improves the transmission of nerve impulses. According to tradition, it is a good metal for healing purposes because it is in tune with the body. Silver can reduce anxiety and help you to relax when solving problems. It is believed to help conduct the energy of stones into your body and auric field.

Inga's Space

Sean Clark works as an Licensed Massage Practitioner (LMP) in Newcastle at a very nice facility called Massage Envy. When Scott schedules a massage so Sean can work out all his knots, Freya and I go along so we can hike at the Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park afterwards, a wonderful 3,000 acre park with 36 miles of trails in the Issaquah Alps. Freya loves romping through the woods. Here are some blurry pictures I took with my cell phone. Next time I’ll bring the real camera.
