FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 21.

Nearly everyone knows that Pisces means fishes, but few there be who know the esoteric meaning of fish. Fish in Greek is Ichthus, which Greek scholars claim means “substance from the sea.”

Jesus is derived from the Greek word for fish; Mary, mare, means water; therefore we see how the Virgin Mary, pure sea, gives birth to Jesus, or fish. There are two things in the universe—Jesus and the Virgin Mary—spirit and substance. So much for the symbol or allegory.

From the earth viewpoint we say that the Sun enters the zodiacal sign Pisces February 20 and remains until March 21. This position of the Sun at birth gives the native a kind, loving nature, industrious, methodical, logical and mathematical; sympathetic and kind to people in distress.

In the alchemy of the Bible we find that the sixth son of Jacob, Naphthali, which means “wrestling of God,” symbols Pisces, for the Pisces natives worry and fret because they can not do more for their friends or those in trouble.

The phosphate of iron is one of the cell-salts of human blood and tissue. This mineral has an affinity for oxygen, which is carried into the circulation and diffused throughout the organism by the chemical force of this inorganic salt. The feet are the foundation of the body. Iron is the foundation of blood. Most diseases of Pisces people commence with symptoms indicating a deficiency of iron molecules in the blood; hence it is inferred that those born between the dates February 20 and March 21, use more iron than do those born in other signs.

Iron is known as the magnetic mineral, due to the fact that it attracts oxygen. Pisces people possess great magnetic force in their hands, and make the best magnetic healers.

Health depends upon a proper amount of iron phosphate molecules in the blood. When these oxygen carriers are deficient, the circulation is increased in order to conduct a sufficient amount of oxygen to the extremities—all parts of the body—with the diminished quantity of iron on hand. This increased motion of blood causes friction, the result of which is heat. Just why this heat is called fever is a conundrum; perhaps because fever is from Latin fevre, “to boil out,” but I fail to see any relevancy between a lack of phosphate of iron and “boiling out.”

The phosphate of iron (Ferrum phosphate), in order to be made available as a remedy for the blood, must be triturated according to the biochemic method with milk sugar up to the third or sixth potency in order that the mucous membrane absorbents may take it up and carry it into the blood. Iron in the crude state, like the tincture, does not enter the circulation, but passes off with the fæces, and is often injurious to the intestinal mucous membrane.

The governing planet of this sign is Jupiter.

The gems are chrysolite, pink-shell and moonstone.

The astral colors are white, pink, emerald-green and black.

Pisces is a water sign.

In Bible alchemy, Pisces represents Naphthali, the sixth son of Jacob, and means “wrestlings of God.” In the symbolism of the New Testament, Pisces corresponds to the disciple Philip. The birth of Benjamin is given in that wonderful allegory, the thirty-fifth chapter of Genesis. Benjamin is, therefore, the thirteenth child of Jacob.

See article, “13, the Operation of Wisdom,” in God-Man; the Word Made Flesh.

“The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament sheweth his handiwork.

Day unto day uttereth speech,

And night unto night sheweth knowledge.

There is no speech nor language,

Where their voice is not heard.

Their line is gone out through all the earth,

And their words to the end of the world.

In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

And rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

His going forth is from the end of the heaven,

And his circuit unto the ends of it;

And there is nothing hidden from the heat thereof.”

Psalms 19:1-6 Vs.
