The twelve moods: Pisces
☼ In what is lost, may the loss find itself,
♀ In what is gained, may the gain lose itself,
☿ In what is comprehended,
may comprehending seek itself
♂ And sustain itself by sustaining.
♃ Through becoming, uplifted to existence,
♄ Through existing, interwoven with the becoming.
☽ May the loss be gain in itself!
Rudolf Steiner offers twelve verses of the zodiacal moods, revealing the human experience as a reflection of the cosmos. He says, "Thus an attempt has been made to offer a sequence of feeling, sensing, and speaking, which, as it is presented, gives, as it were, another version of the inner soul-feeling in relation to what has flowed into the movements of our solar system. The structure of twelve verses, each with seven lines, corresponds, you could say, to the outer skeleton. If you take this attempt at a twelve/seven-membered poem, however, you will see that what wishes to reveal itself is present in every detail."
In Pisces we strengthen the physical sheath which is now emerging from the dark depths of winter to bloom in the spring. The inner soul-warmth we kindled within during the winter moves outward into the world through our actions, flowing forth from our hands and feet.
The moods can be interpreted in a myriad of ways: what they tell us, what the planets concern themselves with and much, much more.
At any rate, knowing these “moods” and placing ourselves in harmony with them helps us to more effectively go through life at the physical and more importantly at the soul and spiritual level.
