An astrological age is a period of time in astrology that corresponds to fundamental changes in the development of Earth’s inhabitants, particularly in culture, society, and politics, and there are twelve astrological ages that correlate to the twelve zodiac signs. The precession of the equinoxes causes astronomical ages, and one whole phase of this precession is called a Great Year or Platonic Year, which lasts around 25,920 years.
The age of Pisces began around the year 1 and will finish around the year 2150. Many Christian icons for Christ include the astrological symbol for Pisces, the fishes, because the narrative of Christ’s birth falls on this date. Christ is regarded an archetype of the Piscean since he has many of the temperaments and personality qualities of a Piscean. Furthermore, the twelve apostles were known as “fishers of men,” early Christians were known as “little fishes,” and “Ikhthus,” the Greek word for fish, was used as a code term for Jesus. The beginning of the era, or the “Great Month of Pisces,” is seen as the start of the Christian religion as a result of this. Saint Peter is the apostle of the Piscean zodiac sign.

What is the zodiac sign of Pisces?
In Greek mythology, Pisces is the fish. Aphrodite and Eros were traveling along the Euphrates River when Typhon approached in this story. They were afraid, but because to his immense size and power, they were unable to flee. So they appealed to Zeus for assistance, requesting that he transform them into fish so that they might flee into the river. Zeus complied by transforming them both into fish. They then dove into the river, where they were able to swim away from Typhon and to safety.
Is there a link between Pisces and God?
Neptune, the planet of dreams, subconscious worlds, spirituality, and compassion, rules Pisces. This mutable water sign regulates the feet in astrology, and the feet are a symbol of our spiritual path and return to the divine, which is exactly what this astrological season is about.
This may seem weird, but the energy of Pisces brings with it a tremendous sense of selflessness. Pisces’ sign, which depicts two fish swimming in opposite directions, has numerous interpretations, but it is ultimately a reflection of its infinite duality. One fish depicts the spiritual dimension’s evolving spirit, while the other represents the physical world’s person. This astrological season is here to remind us that Pisces is a symbol of both god and humanity.
Remember, we are spiritual beings having a human experience, and we have no choice but to surrender to the cosmos, despite the ambiguity, haziness, uncertainty, and lack of physical evidence that comes with it. I’ve said it before, but just because we can’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t there, and Pisces season is here to teach us that.
With that in mind, now is the time for you to relax, refuel, fantasize, connect with your intuition, and find spiritual closure. As I previously stated, this is our way back, but before you try to expedite the process, give yourself a pat on the back. I don’t know about you, but it’s been a long journey since last spring. Fortunately for you, Pisces season is a safe haven for us.
You are not better than anyone else, and no one else is better than you. We’ve all come from the same heavenly source, and it’s time for us to return home.
Is it true that Jesus began the Age of Pisces?
The Age of Pisces is thought to have begun with Jesus and Christianity. The fish is the astrological emblem for Pisces, and the fish is related with Christianity and was used by them to privately identify themselves. Jesus was known as the “Fisher of Men” and was fond of using fish as a metaphor.
What day does Jesus celebrate his birthday?
After the Roman Emperor Constantine I converted to Christianity and sanctioned Christianity in 312, church leaders worked to appropriate the winter solstice festivals, allowing for a more seamless conversion of the emperor’s subjects to Christianity. Church officials may have justified Jesus’ birthday celebration in late December by claiming that since the world was reportedly founded on the spring equinox (late March), God would have conceived Jesus on that day as well. The Virgin Mary, who was nine months pregnant with God’s son, would have given birth to Jesus on the winter solstice nine months later.
The celebration of Christ’s birth spread from Rome to other Christian communities in the west and east, and by December 25, most Christians were celebrating Christ’s birth. Other winter-solstice rites followed by diverse pagan communities, like as the lighting of the Yule log and decorations with evergreens by Germanic tribes, were also included to the Roman holiday. Christmas was first recorded in the English language as Christes maesse, which meant “Christ’s mass” or “Christ’s festival” in Old English. St. Nicholas of Myra, a saint who is thought to visit youngsters with gifts and warnings just before Christmas, was a prominent medieval feast. This legend grew into the present tradition of leaving gifts for children delivered by “Santa Claus,” a shortened version of St. Nicholas’ Dutch name, Sinterklaas.
What inspired God to create Pisces?
Pisces is the ruling constellation between February 19th and March 20th. We’ve already noted that Pisces, the zodiac sign that follows Aquarius, is a sign that is full of emotions, both good and terrible. We also mentioned that Pisces are wonderful companions to have. The origins of Pisces, like the other 11 zodiac signs, may be traced back to prehistoric times. Ptolemy gave this star sign the name Pisces, which means fish in Latin. He lived around 1900 years ago and was the best astronomer in the Greco-Roman world. The names of the zodiac signs were not chosen at random by Ptolemy; they all have a legendary origin. The myth surrounding Pisces will be discussed in this post.
A monster on a killing spree
Pisces’ story begins with Typhon, a Greek god. This god was the worst of the worst. The gods usually have imperfections, but they’re nice at heart. Typhon, however, is not one of them. This god is dangerous and deadly in every way. He was referred to as a colossus. His upper body was human-like, while his legs were snake-like. His head was also made up of a collection of snake heads that had grown into flaming hair and screamed ceaselessly. To top it off, this creature was equipped with wings! As a result, Typhon became a formidable foe to the gods.
Typhon was treated as an outsider by the gods, who were clearly not on good terms with him. Typhon had had enough of it and resolved to climb Mount Olympus one awful day. All of the Greek gods and goddesses lived on this mountain. Typhon is in a foul temper, and he has threatened all of the gods who live on that mountain. They’re all well aware of Typhon’s abilities, so each god makes a hasty retreat. To get away from him, most of the gods transform into animals in order to achieve speed and agility. The gods of love, Aphrodite and Eros, are the only ones who do not change shape. Typhon is closing in on the two lovers, who are in serious danger. Two fish emerge at the last time and let Aphrodite and Eros jump on their backs. The two are able to avoid being captured by the monster Typhon in this manner. The two fish were placed in the heavens by the Greek gods as a way of celebrating this great gesture, and they became the constellation Pisces.
Different variations of the Pisces story
According to tradition, Aphrodite and Eros transformed themselves into fish and escaped this way. It appears improbable that this is the case because other gods changed into animals but did not have constellations named after them.
Although the myth of Pisces as we know it now may have originated with Ptolemy, the legend of Pisces stretches back to pre-Greco-Roman antiquity. The fish were known as Ichthyes in Syrian mythology. They assisted in the rescue of Ashtarte, the Syrian counterpart of Aphrodite, by transporting her down the Euphrates River. Overall, the story is similar, and the fish deserved to shine forever among the stars in the night sky.
What are the powers of Pisces?
The psychological features of mystic Pisces are often linked to their ruler Neptune, the spiritual planet. They’re the universe’ empaths, highly perceptive and psychic. Their power comes from their ability to feel deeply and connect with others in a manner that no one else can. “As a result, they make excellent chameleons, able to get along with a wide range of individuals and find a way to flow with whatever life throws at them,” astrologer Rachel Lang explains. “They’re gracefully resilient and flexible,” says the author.
“Pisces make excellent chameleons, able to get along with a wide range of people and adapt to whatever life throws at them.” Rachel Lang, astrologer
Pisces are also recognized for being extraordinarily selfless and nurturing, which adds another dimension to their talent of connecting. On the other hand, if they don’t believe that the love they give is reciprocated, they may play the victim card. Pisces, despite their amazing intuition, has a hard time distinguishing between good and bad people because they prefer to see the best in everyone. This optimism can sometimes lead to them being drawn into relationships that aren’t beneficial to them, which can lead to codependency issues.
Is Pisces the most spiritual of the zodiac signs?
Pisceans are the zodiac sign with the most creativity and spirituality. They are mysterious people who live in their own fantasy world. They are always on the lookout for the deeper meanings in everything, and they strive to form deep bonds with those around them.
Is it true that Jesus was born in March?
According to research conducted by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jesus was born between early and mid-April, although theologian, biblical scholar, and author Ian Paul suggests September or late March.
What does Jesus have to do with the zodiac sign of Pisces?
We’ve been in the astrological sign of Pisces since February 20th, so everyone you know who is a Pisces will be celebrating (or has recently celebrated) their birthday soon!
If you’re seeking for the ideal birthday present for a Pisces in your life, naming a star after them in the Pisces constellation could be the answer.
If you’re thinking about naming a star in the Pisces constellation, here are some science and mythology facts to help you out!
Science
Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, one to the north and the other to the west. A cord connects the two of them.
The fish are thought to be Aphrodite and her son Eros, the Greek goddesses Aphrodite and Eros, however we’ll get into how those two became identified with the two fish later.
Pisces is located in the Northern Hemisphere’s first quadrant and encompasses a wide V-shaped territory. Despite being a huge constellation, it is difficult to notice due to the large area it spans and the dim stars it contains. While the month of Pisces occurs in late winter/early spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is only visible in the very early phases of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.
The brightest star in Pisces is Eta Piscium, also known as Alpherg or Kullat Nunu. It’s 294 light-years away from Earth and 316 times brighter than the sun.
The ‘Van Maanen’s’ Star, named after Adrian van Maanen, a Dutch astronomer who discovered it in 1917, is likewise seen in Pisces. It is the 31st closest star system and the closest solitary white dwarf to the sun, at only 14.1 light-years distant. (The practice of naming a star appears to date back many years.)
Surprisingly, the Hubble Space Telescope discovered a pair of dwarf galaxies dubbed Pisces A and Pisces B within the constellation. After monitoring the two, researchers discovered some intriguing information: they travelled to a nearby group of galaxies throughout time, speeding up the pace of star creation.
What the galaxies Pisces A and Pisces B can show us about what dwarf galaxies looked like in the past.
But why is Pisces associated with two different kinds of fish? To grasp this, we must return to the ancient Greeks and a fable from the past.
Myth
Legend has it that the mythological events surrounding this constellation occurred near the Euphrates River. This suggests that the story was modified from an even older story passed down from the Babylonians to the Greeks. But let’s get back to the story.
The Olympian Gods had won the battle. Even though the Titans had been defeated, there were still people plotting their demise while the Gods sat safely.
Typhon, son of the Titan Tartarus, and Gaia, enraged by the Olympians’ actions, set out to exact ultimate vengeance and finally overthrow the Olympians.
Typhon was the most terrifying creature the earth had ever seen; he was so dangerous and strong that even Gods were afraid to confront him.
Typhon came saw Aphrodite and Eros (Venus and Cupid in Roman mythology) as they were wandering along the Euphrates River.
Despite the fact that many other people died as a result of the Typhoon, the Olympians emerged victorious.
Zues set the fish among the stars to commemorate the victory, and they became the constellation of Pisces.
That’s a fascinating story. However, there’s an intriguing tale about Pieces that suggests a 2000-year-old cover-up!
Some believe that the constellation Pieces may hold the answer to Jesus Christ’s identity!
Conspiracy?
According to one idea, the Christ image may not have arisen from a Jewish Rabbi speaking in Galilee, but rather from pagan astrology.
According to one theory, Jesus was born as an avatar of the Pisces constellation, a figure who was supposed to represent the movement of the sky at the commencement of the Age of Pisces. The activities of the early Christians, who utilized the fish as a symbol of Jesus, provide evidence for this.
It’s worth noting that, while intriguing (and divisive), it’s quite unlikely that this is the case. So, why does the fish figure appear so frequently in early Christian art?
Because early Christians were persecuted, they couldn’t openly declare their faith. As a result, a fish was utilized as a symbol for Jesus. This is because ICHTUS, the Greek word for fish, stands for Iesus CHristos Theou Uios Soter, which means ‘Jesus Christ Son Of God the Saviour.’
So there’s no big conspiracy here; just a misunderstanding of symbol origins and what they mean to different communities at different eras.
