Pisces: God of the Ocean
On February 19, the sun began the annual month-long Pisces cycle. In Tarot cards, Pisces corresponds to the "Moon" card, and the traditional guardian star of Pisces is Jupiter (the same as Sagittarius), which corresponds to the "Wheel of Fortune" in the Tarot cards, and the modern guardian star Neptune corresponds to The tarot card is "The Hanged Man".
The English name of Neptune, Neptune, is the name of the god of the ocean in ancient mythology, and the "moon" controls the ebb and flow of the ocean's tides. So obviously, Pisces is a water sign, and the meaning of water in Tarot cards is related to love, friendship, and changes in human emotions.
The symbol of Pisces and the cross
The symbol of Pisces is two fish tied together, swimming in opposite directions. One fish swims upward, towards Aries in the east; the other fish swims downstream, towards Aquarius in the west. The reciprocal directions of this intersection just form a staggered "cross", a symbol of Christianity. The vertical axis on the cross represents spirit, while the horizontal axis symbolizes matter.
In ancient Babylonian mythology, it is said that two fish pushed a huge egg to the shore, and from the egg, Atagratis, the goddess of the valley, and her son Ichthys were born.
Ichthys experiences death and rebirth every year. The myth of Ichthys and the constellation Pisces have become more and more closely related to Christianity in the subsequent history. Opposite Pisces sits Virgo, and Virgo has a lot to do with Christianity in Greek mythology.
Typhon, the fish and monster in ancient Greek mythology
Typhon, in Greek mythology, is the youngest son of Gaia, the goddess of the earth, and her child with Tartarus, the god of hell. Typhon is a demonic monster that breathes fire from its nose and has the heads of hundreds of dragons. The word Typhon has the corresponding meaning in Greek vocabulary, which is "strong hurricane" and is also related to the meaning of "hot vapor".
The word "typhoon" in the current English vocabulary comes from this allusion. The medical term "typhus" also comes from this etymology. People at that time thought that this terrible disease was caused by the poisonous gas spewed by the monster Typhon.
There was a time when Typhon controlled the entire heaven because it stole Zeus's scepter while Zeus was having an intimate moment with the goddess. In order to escape Typhon's clutches, the gods of Olympus transformed into various animals and fled in all directions. Pan, which symbolizes Capricorn, turned into a half-goat fish. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and her son Eros, the god of love, turned themselves into two fish. In order not to be separated, they tied each other's bodies. The connected silver cords hid together in the Euphrates River.
Therefore, the combination of love and desire is the eternal symbol of Pisces. The astrological symbol of Pisces is represented by two symmetrical crescent moons.
Later, with the help of the Phoenician prince Cadmus, Zeus finally conquered Typhon and buried it under Mount Aetna. To this day, people living near Mount Aetna can still hear its roar. Cadmus used the tactics he learned from the sun god Apollo and the temptation of music (ruled by Pisces) to help Zeus conquer the monster. Since then, order in heaven has been restored, and love and desire have once again filled the world.
"Moon" and "The Hanged Man"
The "Moon" card in Tarot cards traditionally depicts "two dogs barking at the moon". These two dogs, one is dark and the other is light, symbolize spirituality and materiality. Behind the scene, a crayfish leaps out of the water, symbolizing the giant egg lifted up from the water in ancient Babylonian mythology. "Moon" in Tarot cards symbolizes a warning, telling the person being questioned that he may not be able to see the problem clearly or is confused by some things. These are also the negative factors of Pisces.
The "Hanged Man" in Tarot cards depicts a man hanging upside down by his legs, forming a cross. And its explanation is to tell the inquirer the spiritual aspects of the existing situation that need to be understood. Tarot Symbol of Pisces 2
