Pisces — Reign of the Real
Article by Michael Beard
We are occupied with the Great Illusion which it is the major task of man in this particular world cycle to master and dissipate, and so to inaugurate the reign of the Real.
The Tibetan, Esoteric Astrology, p. 131
Illusions are mental distortions. The planet, Mercury, is associated with the mind. In earlier stages, the mind is the mediator between the Soul and the personality. The mind, through much trial and error, tries to interpret reality and express that reality through your personality: through your thoughts, emotions, words and actions. Often that interpretation is not clear, and the inner reality is expressed in a distorted fashion.
As you increase your soul contact and express reality, the power of Mercury is lessened in the sign Pisces. This means that your distorted mental perception of reality no longer controls you . Each day, you begin to see with the clarity of your true Self. The mind then is no longer the mediator between the soul and personality. The soul and the personality fuse, and your daily expression reflects the Real.
Pisces is the sign that rules the feet. In Pisces, there is tremendous potential, as a result of culminated experiences upon the spiritual path, to stand on your own feet as a free, liberated soul. True liberated souls are dedicated to freeing or “saving” those who are trapped in the Great Illusion. That is why Pisces is the sign of the world Savior.
This is what it means to become the path. The path is reality. The highest level in Pisces is to have completed the path from the unreal to the real. From that perspective of reality, you become effective as a conscious server during this most trying time for humanity. You can help to inaugurate the reign of the Real.
Lead us O Lord,
From darkness to light,
From the unreal to the real,
From death to immortality,
From chaos to beauty.
