From March 10 to March 20, the Sun will travel through the last ten degrees of Pisces — the end of the astrological year. It includes a lunar eclipse on March 13-14 in Virgo and the last Sun-Saturn conjunction in Pisces for about thirty years. The Greeks and their Roman and Egyptian fellow-citizens of ancient Alexandria honored Elpis (the daemon of Hope) and Maia (the goddess of Memory) at this time of year. How are our aspirations for the future out of alignment with our memories of the past? How can we better align the facts on the ground with the desire for a better future? Maybe that's a worthy subject for meditation in the next ten days.

Dolos, a trickster god, rules the next ten days as a kind of Lord of Misrule. Can we distinguish Truth from Falsehood? What do the paw prints in the snow tell us about how each of them moves in the world?

Sun enters Pisces III "The Cup of Blood" on 9 March 2024 at 9:17 pm EST https://andrewbwatt.com/2024/03/08/sun-in-pisces-iii-9-19-march-2024/ where Elpis and Maia, Hope and Memory, allow us to sum up the astrological year and plan for a new one.

Dolos, Prometheus's apprentice and a trickster spirit, is credited with making an exact lookalike of the goddess Truth from clay — and his Titan master breathed into his apprentice's work, thus bringing Falsehood to life. The myth says that just one of the sisters has bad feet, though: is that because Falsehood can't stand on her own legs for long? Or is that because Truth is only able to travel slowly?

The ancient Greeks gave Pisces II to Dolos and said it was administered by Jupiter — a reminder that we should check the feet of any story we hear in the next ten days, as the Sun enters Pisces II "The Net" tomorrow, 2/28/2024 at 9:44 pm EST.

The Sun enters Pisces I tonight at 11:13 pm EST. The Labyrinth is associated with Okeanos and with Saturn, both in their roles as ancient and inscrutable tricksters in the mold of Bugs Bunny.   You laugh at the predicaments and situations each find themselves in... but you're reminded over and over how much you do not want to be Elmer Fudd or the most in-ter-esting monster....  There is no set of circumstances, you tell yourself over and over, in which you would willingly mess with the Bunny.
And so it is with Okeanos, and with Saturn. We assume that the ocean is vast and old, and that if there is a divine and mythic entity that watches over it — it is not for us mortals to mess with.  Similarly, Saturn trudging at the outer edge of the visible solar system reminds us constantly that he is neither to be trifled with nor bearded nor abused.  Each is full of dignity — and each can hold a grudge for 10,000 years if conditions are right and they become irritated enough.
And yet each is enormously kind, generously fecund, and openly hospitable until crossed or harmed.  Bugs Bunny takes his friends to the clam festival at Pismo Beach, despite his inept sense of direction; Okeanos lets children play in his fringes, hosts sailboat races around the world, and provides food most generously from his larder; Saturn rewards the earth with the time and seasons necessary to mature apple trees and olive groves.
Indolence is suggested by this card, but it's less the indolence of sitting under a tree for an afternoon, than the indolence of sitting in the shade of a tree you grew from seed sixty years ago. There's something to be said for the retired trickster, lounging around eating carrots and waiting for a house call and subsequent golf game with his doctor. ..

Sun in Pisces III - Elpis/Maia

On 3/10/2023 at 3:35 pm EST, the Sun enters "The Cup of Blood" — a time given to the goddess Elpis, "Hope"— linked to the idea of enthusiasm divorced from reality. What do you believe? How will you ground that in fact? What if facts disprove your hope?

Thank you to Calliope and “Little Red Socks” who paid through Ko-Fi to make the horoscopes of Pisces III open to the public.

Dolos the ceramicist trickster rules over the next ten days, as the Sun enters Pisces II at 3:57 pm EST today, 28 February 2023. Called *The Net* by Austin Coppock, it's a place of shifting expectations and confusion about truth — are we in a prison? is this a trap? is this a palace? are we free to leave when we want? Do we want to? *(Thank you to @calliope#1998 and "little red socks" for paying. for today's column to be free.)* https://andrewbwatt.com/2023/02/28/sun-in-pisces-ii-dolos-2/

Dolos, a spirit of trickery (but not exactly a trickster spirit in the sense of Coyote or Anansi from other myth traditions) rules the next days from 28 February to 10 March. An apprentice to Prometheus, he saw to it that Truth and Falsehood looked almost the same — except for bad feet, so one can only totter along, and one can only run. Except, the myths don't agree on which is the athlete and which one is the stumbler. Check your sources, don't believe everything you hear, and share information with judicious caution.

Okeanos, lord of the deep waters, rules the next ten days, beginning at 11:43 am EST today. A master of shapechanging and confusion, he invites you to ask three questions: Do I want to go deeper? Is this the right time to head for the exits? Are these boundaries real or imaginary?
