from empowerment of the individual ego to development of the
Divine EGO and the Human capacity and right to merge with
“God”. Symbolized by the Piscean fishes of polarity, the Piscean Age

introduced the collective consciousness of Humanity to the need
to fuse and integrate the extreme opposites that define life and exist
in reality as we know it. Good and evil co-exist, as do Heaven and

Hell (symbolically), reason and irrationality, science and mysticism,
etc. Philosophies and major world religions emerged to help Human
Beings understand the inconsistencies and paradoxes of life and
make peace with the increasingly complex reality of the human
condition. Buddha taught that surrender of the Arian age ego was

the path toward union with the Divine. Christ taught that sacrifice
and suffering were the path toward redemption and forgiveness
that would open the Kingdom of Heaven, and ultimately end one’s

suffering. In true Piscean style, the insidious manipulation of the
original teachings of the great world religions made the world ripe
for corruption of these sacred teachings to serve the powerful.
Sacrificial redeemers and the nobility of suffering and sacrifice
paved the way for the socially sanctioned cultural oppression of the

masses, especially women and those who represented the power
of the feminine. Secret societies, created to hide and preserve the
mystical origins of these teachings, abound during the Piscean Age.

Many of these have been unearthed over the past few centuries to
reveal very different messages and challenge the pervading mythos
of the Piscean Age perspective. In preparation for the Aquarian
Age to come, we can expect such revelations to continue, as the
mystical teachings and records and rituals of the secret societies that

protect them are uncovered. As we complete the Human experience
defined by the Piscean Age, it is time to re-examine those original
teachings and reinterpret those that made it into the great books.

The Virgo opposition of The Age of Pisces is evident through
the compartmentalization and organization of society around
specialized skills and the ultimate emergence of a middle class of
service providers and skilled artisans. The sacredness of the physical
body and spiritual/medical practices that emphasize the mind-body-

soul-spirit connection also emerged during the last few centuries of
this age, encouraging humanity to balance science with mysticism,
and to attempt to integrate the best of multiple philosophical systems

in the search for personal ”Truth”.
