I’ve been patiently waiting for this episode ever since you started the series. Can’t believe we made it to the end! Congrats Chris! An amazing achievement!
I'm a Pisces Sun & stellium. Thank you for expressing the fact that Pisces can withdraw because we know that we can't take on the world (thank you, Austin). We know that we'd be completely enveloped by individuals or a cause, so sometimes we have to be indifferent.
Absolutely! I’m also a Pisces stellium with a Cancer Moon and ascendant - withdrawal is not necessarily a bad thing, and can often be the best solution to unsafe or entangling situations 👌🏻
I have a pisces moon. I can feel other people's pain. The children in the school shooting. I cried for a week. I could feel their fear. I also cry easily from my feelings. Also have some physic dreams. I had a dream that saved my life. And more!
Are you at all familiar with the Lesser Banishing Ritual? It’s a Kabbalist series of actions that are supposed to protect you. When I finally got myself to do it, it was a blast of energy and a cohesive thrust toward taking control of my own life, kind of. Lots of thing have changed personally since then. I still have episodes of someone else’s feelings overwhelming me. I’ve had to say for decades their feelings are not my responsibility. Now I’m consciously saying I want to help heal others, which I think is healthier. But that’s another series of future events on my path. Pisces Sun trine Neptune.
I gotta say….describing Pisces (I am female) is so hard…words just don’t suffice sometimes….how I feel is so indescribable most of the time….and never ever feel understood by anyone. You get used to being alone even with people that love you . It’s hard to be a Pisces tbh. I feel I outgrow people so fast but yet yearn for company at times…. I have to force myself to be around grounding people so I notice and enjoy the present and little joys versus always being in the clouds. My best relationship so far is with my male Sag …. But I still struggle with sadness and meloncholoy especially being awake and knowing how we are Imprisoned here …since being in the know…the sadness and meloncholy is so much worse.
This episode resonates so much with me. I'm a Pisces Sun in the 8th. With Jupiter in my 12th in Cancer. My favorite things to say used to be " it's not a big deal" for every situation. And as someone who went through a lot of hardship early on, I feel like I do have the experience say that most people's problems are actually not that big of a deal compared to what could happen in the great scheme of things. I got hit by a bus at 18yrs old and went through 14 surgery, was in a wheelchair, had to learn to walk again almost got amputated, almost died.... And when I was healing, I was seeing people around me who had it worst or just had a harder time dealing with their recovery mentally, even if their injury were not as severe as mine... It just put things into perspective for me, and made me feel very grateful. My way of dealing with this was that, this was only a fraction of my life, and that soon enough, it would all just be a memory. So I focused on healing and getting better as fast as I could to be able to go back to my life. I'm now 33 years old, and will forever have the scares and some reduced mobility, but I make it work and I think 18 years old me dealt with this like a champ, and its possibly because of this positive Jupiterian mindset.
I also want to add that while I was recovering, I spent a lot of time alone, very 12th house type of way at a physio center where I stayed for months. And my escapism was reading fantasy novels. I read so many books during that time and it's when I really developed a love for reading fantasy. Back in the day we didn't have netflix, so my family bought me book series and I devoured one after the other. It was really helpful to get away from this reality and just let my body heal and rest while my mind was gone on adventures in magical worlds like Happy Potter, Twilight, Eragon and many more...
Where your Saturn is placed? House and Sign, ability to suffer is link to Saturn strength, not just being a Pisces. Some Pisces just give up and commit suicide right away if Saturn is weak. I had a gf with a weak Saturn and she didn't know how to deal with suffering, would give up right away, she had Saturn in Aries on her Ascendant, one of the worst placement for Saturn. Sometimes she couldn't stay at one place more than 5min.
It's quite possible your placements helped you. Jupiter itself is expansion as well as luck, money, etc. It can also expand the hard things as well depending on its weak or strengthened placement, aspects As for having a positive mindset, no matter what sign, or placement, that is our own choice. My meaning by that is: we can improve any situation that may befall us just by choosing to find the good somewhere in it. Even just accepting that something has happened to us, being in gratitude for whatever we have, even if miniscule, seeing/learning a lesson in it, can move mountains. That pos. mindset you chose, saved you a great deal more grief. Had one been ticked off, angry, resentful, it would have just brought in more reasons to be angry over and hindered healing. The mind really determines what an outcome will be. You kept seeing it as "no big deal" a bump in the road only, and that is just what it became. We get what we can see selves having when we see it like we "already have it" before we actually do. Glad you overcame it. Wishing you the very best! 🙏💖💫🌱🌎
So, I just found out I'm born one day before Austin. Now I understand why he always says what I want to be said, how I want it said. This is officially my all time favorite TAP session. Bulls eyes all across the board! Chris and Austin together are my all time dream team! Thank you both, you are the best!
Damn. What Austin said about "under different circumstances that could be me"- that hit. THIS concept has been such a huge lesson for me in my life that I've carried with me since I was little. I OFTEN see the world through this perspective. I have no Pisces placements, but my 11H [ networks ] is Pisces : My mother is a Pisces Moon, my brother is a Pisces, my partner is a Pisces rising, and his father and brother are Pisces. Wow.
Thank you for separating what’s Cancer traits vs Pisces as they tend to be conflated and they are extremely different. Like have ya’ll met a Pisces vs a Cancer. Being empathetic doesn’t mean nurturing or actual caring… Pisces tend to feel and withdraw. Cancer will feel and act - cardinal.
Pisces stellium (sun/moon/venus/mars) and i've been waiting for this episode for a whole year, ever since Chris started this series! I can't believe we got through all the signs, and it's been a year already. Thank you Chris for making these episodes and finding these guests to help us better understand the signs. Thank you also for bringing on just Austin for this final episode. This more intimate yet deep conversation is perfect for the inward introspective last sign of the zodiac, and i thought the flow between your Scorpio-Pisces trine was just beautiful to experience. All in all, i'm baised but i LOVED this episode. Thank you Austin for representing us ever so well - fluid, mysterious, magical, yet poetic. Much love ❤
I'm so glad we got Austin for this episode. Pisces is such a liminal sign it's beyond words (a silent sign!), but Austin articulates things really well. There's a multiplicity in Pisces, but it's not the intectual Gemini multiplicity of this thing and then that thing and onto the next. It's the multiplicity of all things at once, of being here and not being from here, of intense Earth bound Venusian pleasure and transcendence back into the pot of the universe. It's believing something deeply, but knowing in your bones that there are different things equally worthy of belief out there, one for each possible life we can live in a single lifetime, and in the end all is One. ❤ I'm a Pisces rising btw.
That’s interesting cause I’m Pisces but very chatty I find I love being super social and talking but need to balance ir with being completely withdrawn and not leaving the house. I do have a ton of aqua tho and close to the cusp also rising in Gemini so maybe these things shift everything it is a whole chart after all. I have a lot of Pisces friends they seem to be the only ppl long term I seem to stay friends with and they are all similar with that needing to withdraw for sure
Thank you very much Chris for these absolutely amazing and enlightening series of episodes. Great philosophical discussions but my god definitely saved the best for last, and nobody could be better than Austin when it comes to Pisces. Speaking from a very Piscean-natured experience, it is tough as it is to talk about the spectrum of experiences Pisces gifts (!) us with but someone like Austin who is brilliant with words - just spot on. You have nailed it guys as much as it can be done and more. Thank you thank you
Austin is just an amazing astrologer and teacher. I just love the way that he explains everything. I can see years of reflection and exploration every time that he speaks.
There was a blizzard raging, I couldn’t see across the street, but everything is cozy inside and I’m listening to your podcast. Your show is the best Chris. Listening to you and Austin for 3 hours, 25 minutes, and 23 seconds was an absolute joy. Thank you both.
Happy Birthday! I’m a Pisces Sun, Virgo Rising and Scorpio Moon…. So crazy how all the astrology signs make sense.. ❤ Lately I have felt that (my time) runs so much faster then everyone else, I always don’t have enough time, always running out of time or wishing I could just control my time to sSslooow down 😮
I’m so glad you got Austin! Wish we could’ve gotten Kelly on this episode too. It would’ve been nice to have Kelly, Austin, and Chris together again for the final sign and bring it all full circle.
Just listening to this reminds me of something I've been studying lately. Mabey Virgo is the particle, and pisces, the wave. Chris asks great questions. I think Pisces are the old souls of the zodiac. Naturals of the dreamtime. They seem much more related to Neptune, where we sort of learn that it's all really a dream. (Thank God ). All we can do is search for our own souls, but in reality, that's all we can find! It's all good. We're all one. Namaste!
Austin - you’re my piscean astro Twin!!! It was such a pleasure to see the way you approach this whole topic, your body language, your energy… Thank you for your cameo in this episode! All my astro knowledge is self-study. And I’ve probably never taken any hobby sooooo deep on my own. With all the ‘f…k all this astro BS’ bouts and then coming back after a break that the Gemini in me needed not to drawn in it all, but Pisces craved eventually… I have much more understanding and even more compassion to my own inconsistencies (which Saturn and North Node in Virgo doesn’t really accept and forego that easily). May your 12th house Moon manifest all the goodies you want and need- just let your Gemini say it all at a proper time!!!
Austin, I loved that comment on vices vs virtues comparison when talking about the differences of qualities between the virgo - pisces axis signs qualities. Thank you both. What a gem of a series!
This is the best analysis of Pisces I have ever heard. Thank you❤! -Moon in Pisces in 4th, Sun conjunct Uranus in Scorpio in 12th, Mars conjunct Neptune in Sag in 1st
Saturn in Pisces 1H second Saturn return on its way…. Not being able to understand how to handle this horse I’ve been given to ride brought me to astrology a couple years ago. This video along with Adam @ Nightlight’s last two videos on Saturn in Pisces have done more to help me understand myself than years of therapy ever did. Mind blowing. I’m Okay/Pisces are Okay will be the title of my book. Thank you 🙏 for this fantastic series. Love the Last but Not Least ❤️🥰
What a great episode. Pisces rules my second house. I'm a Virgo sun. When my busy mind needs a reset, I slip into my Pisces opposition of spirituality. What a blessing to be a part of this beautiful axis of service and spirit! ♍+♓= 💙
The “Pisces chain of custody” is also very well shown and told by Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist and Pisces sun and venus John Frusciante who always tells in interviews how he doesn’t care about the riffs he comes up with for the band and that both his riffs as his presence in the band are really there to melt everything together as a whole. He also tells this in Rick Rubin’s podcast. Also a great example of rising, falling and rising back into grace after his heroin years.
Wow! I just have Sun in Pisces and Neptune trine it. I’m mushy. And get into all sorts of weird situations what with feeling others feelings. How do you bring yourself down to earth?
Pisces Stellium (sun, Venus, mercury, & Jup Jup). I love Austin’s interpretation of astrology. His insight and sagacity and humor is just brilliant. New subscriber and absolutely loving all the info! Thanks for sharing your passion with the world, Chris!
I think part of the element of humility is not seeing yourself as superior to others; its also tied into empathizing with others. When you walk in someone else's shoes, you can't see yourself as superior to them.
These observations are Mind Blowing! Pisces Sun, Ascendant and north node here! Needing to take multiple breaks to "feel into" all of this amazing information!! I understand myself so much better now. Thank you both!
I wonder why you never hear Pisces are related to rivers, as that's how I used to hear it, and it would explain the evasiveness, since rivers can be dangerous and you'd have to be quick to avoid destruction, and can get scruffed up badly floating down rivers. They'd have to be quick thinkers, and naturally psychic. Plus, they feel the emotions but don't get stuck in them, because they're energy is constantly moving. I'm Scorpio, moon in Cancer, born year of water dragon, so learning much about water in this life time. Fantastic podcast!!!
I watched this off and on for a couple weeks and it was very insightful as someone who is seeing a Pisces. I am a Libra and I’m far more decisive and steadfast and motivated than my Pisces interest but I think it’s because life has gotten to him and reality has set in and he can’t think pie in the sky because he has a very real situation that forces him to stay stagnant. Because he’s moving opposite of what Pisces should as far as flow, it causes him to be perpetually melancholy with glimmers of laughter and happiness when I’m around. I’ve decided that’s who I will be to him, support and light hearted energy. I am the breath of fresh air he needed. I’m more into my divine feminine energy so I’m logical but loving. I like how Austin spoke to the parallels within the polarities. I feel hopeful my friendship can continue with the Pisces I am seeing Had life not given my Pisces a reality check, he would not be able to see my point of view on anything and me his POV so sadly it took healing independently before connecting for us to relate well to others. I’m Libra Sun and Venus, Leo Rising Cap Moon and he’s Pisces Sun and Venus, Cancer Rising, Virgo Moon, and his Mars is in Virgo.
OK, after coming here a year later, I fully understand what they are taking about. He described me (Pisces) so well. The comparison to Virgo, was sorta negative, but actually true. We go with the flow, like a stream running down a slope, going around trees and rocks, always over thinking, because we want to UNDERSTAND, not just learn, this has forever gotten me in trouble because I am always OVERTHINKING every thing. I am also a good listener, truly listening and empathizing, which can be rough, because I want to solve their pain.
Pisces is just so big and limitless... no boundaries, everything pours into it, sees everything at once, its visionary, but overwhelming, ( Jupiter in pisces)
Got Saturn and Mercury in Pisces, conjunct the descendant. Austin’s mention of the horror of being late in dreams rang EXTREMELY true for me; most dreams (nightmares, really) of mine involve being late for tests, or missing class, or being unable to find school materials, even though I graduated college over 5 years ago.
Pisces Sun, Mercury, Venus, and North Node (3H) and I'm already relating to this only 30 minutes in. I'm a Cancer moon and Sag Rising. I'll definitely be checking those out as well.
pisces is my favorite sign, despite not having any planets there myself. i deeply connect to the symbolism and the mode of being that the sign represents, and i loved listening to you guys expound and explain its many subtleties. g00d j0b ^_^
I’m a Pisces sun, Virgo rising, Capricorn moon and the part about having nightmares about running out of time is so real I’ve had that same reoccurring dream since I was a child. I fell out laughing. 😂
Same Pisces sun, Cap Moon, and Virgo rising. I think what we fear most is the "point of no return" ..... That commitment, having to make a whole choice which limits us. We just can't do it unless we have ALOT of peace with the outcome.
Discussing Billy Corgan just in time for his bday! The bit about The Smashing Pumpkins and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness reminded of "Violet" by Hole, which is reportedly about Courtney Love's relationship with Billy Corgan. The lyrics, "And the sky was made of amethyst, And all the stars were just like little fish" is allegedly a reference to Billy being a Pisces. The song was written in '91, but not recorded until '93. It was officially released in '94 via the album Live Through This, by which time Saturn had entered Pisces and was Cj his Mercury (just as Mars in Pisces was Cj Billy's Sun). Anyway, a lot of really good stuff in here. I've always been a little bummed I don't have any Pisces placements.
I have a Sun-Neptune conjunction (in Capricorn) and the details of the energy are honestly very similar to the Pisces energy described in this episode. This episode actually helped me clarify some of my pervasive Sun-Neptune themes and brought them to the surface to examine. I only have the north node in Pisces but that’s more of a collective placement.
Someone shared a poem with me called the albatross yesterday and it’s this agonizing image of a majestic and powerful creature that gets stuck on a boat and is laughed at by the sailors, rendered powerless and unable to fly. It feels very pisces to me. I have a Virgo stellium and feel very much like that with Saturn in Pisces.
.. and did I just make a list of all these wonderful Pisces isms that you guys beautifully expounded on? 😂 .. Of course I did, and now I’m prepared. I’m ok with getting lost, as long as I have a map. Thank you!
Thank you Austin and Chris! This has given me a lot to consider. Everything Austin discussed around Piscean characteristics resonated so powerfully, I felt a bit seated and awed by it. But, with no planets in my natal Pisces, Neptune in Sagittarius, and all other major aspects in primarily fire sign, with some air, I can’t seem to draw the connection as to why I am so very Piscean (based on Austin’s detailed description). So much so, does his description align, I felt a bit of a liberating “oh my… that’s where I fit.” - sense of validation. Just not seeing it in my chart. Either way, thanks guys for another informative and thought provoking episode. I appreciate your efforts, time and care that you put into these podcasts. In heart, Lillian
Austin--thanks for talking about Leonard Cohen. Moon in Pisces and that sharp Virgo Sun. He wrote such great music, Famous Blue Raincoat, I'm Your Man, Bird on a Wire, Tower of Song...the list of great songs is huge.
Libra was a good mate for 20+ years in all but love, empathy….loveless….but honesty, loyalty and helping me to put structure to my business plans worked well.
Pisces Sun & stellium here with an Aqua Rising and Gemini Moon...I feel so at home listening to this 🤣♓Thank you for calling out that when contrasting Virgo-Pisces, most people will do virtue versus vice. And for pointing out the "evasiveness" quality of Pisces - WOW this helped my understanding of my chart significantly more. (Also finding out Austin's birthday is the day before mine 🥳)
This was amazing - Austin your a genius - I wouid love to study with you . I just went thru total confusion w a Pisces and I’m a cancer … this video could’ve saved us a very protracted argument …
Wow I’m a Pisces also March 5, my daughter was born on my birthday March 5 and my grandmother is also a Pisces which I’m super connected with! Wow so happy Im watching this !
Thank you for the reading. I am Pisces February 27. My wife passed away last year November 30 one girl that I saw and I think I love her. She told me that she has another another one that I’m seeing she is Virgo. She just talks all the time to me, I don’t know what to do. Thank you so much.
This has been fascinating to listen too. I'm only about 26mins in. I'm a Pisces Sun, Virgo Rising and a Cappy Moon. I'm always in my head and fantasizing these big ideas and then stopping myself from actually doing anything, due to over analyzing and a need for perfectionism. And then there always seems to be a sense of lost time ⌚ running out of time or not having enough time. Ty for sharing! I'll be watching Virgo and Cappy next!
Wow, that was good, complex Pisces, no wonder people have a hard time understanding us. I just learnt more about myself from this conversation . It helps, thanks😊
I’m a Pisces Sun and Descendant. I love being a Pisces, BUT I will say that I’m glad I’m a Virgo rising, Aries Moon, and have a Capricorn stellium, otherwise I don’t know how I’d get anything done lol
It's funny that my son is Aquarius, Pisces moon, and he always escaped with sci-fi novels in jr. and hi school. A Leo rising, he went to parties, but never had a girl friend until he met his wife. He's so psychic! And very compassionate!
love the insight to my pisces moon.. talk about avoidance...i havent watched the news in over 2 years.. i just cant...i had chalked it up to my stellium in cancer..... thank you for this !!!!
I consider Mercury in Pisces to operate similarly to an Epimethean Mercury, where Mercury sets after the Sun. This is frequently seen in philosophers' charts. It reconsiders, ponders, wanders, goes deeply and more slowly to thoroughly probe the matter. Jung thought that an Epimethean Mercury indicated a problem, but in my experience, it depends on other factors in the chart, particularly Saturn and its relationship to Saturn. Leonard Cohen is a good example with an Epimethean Mercury and Saturn in Aquarius trined by Jupiter.
This video just played after another video I watched; it's FABULOUS!! I have a Pisces ☀️, Aquarius rising, and Sagittarius stellium, so this discussion is so pertinent to me. And I've never heard anyone discern the "avoidant" nature of Pisces I'm such a profound way. Thank you! Newly subscribed and looking forward to watching the rest of this series.
Saved the best for last! ♓🐟🪐
Shout out to my Pisces 💕💔❤️🩹
I’ve been patiently waiting for this episode ever since you started the series. Can’t believe we made it to the end! Congrats Chris! An amazing achievement!
Been waiting "patiently" for 12 months.... thank you for all your work to the astrological community. This fish is super appreciative ❤
Yay Austin Pisces feeling the depth of Tai Chi
Pls put in timestamps for us ADHD folks :)
Only Austin could take on a sign all on his own. Thanks for this series, Chris. This is invaluable information - pure brilliance!
Rick Levine did it too! Cheers. 🙂
Rick Levine did Aries on his own.
We don't need to project our capabilities onto men. He is great, but let's remember ourselves.
it’s that gemini moon
@@eagillum what do you mean? - woman here. i do agree that they should have used more female pisces
I'm a Pisces Sun & stellium. Thank you for expressing the fact that Pisces can withdraw because we know that we can't take on the world (thank you, Austin). We know that we'd be completely enveloped by individuals or a cause, so sometimes we have to be indifferent.
It's a matter of sanity and survival
Absolutely! I’m also a Pisces stellium with a Cancer Moon and ascendant - withdrawal is not necessarily a bad thing, and can often be the best solution to unsafe or entangling situations 👌🏻
and a sense of helplessness.
@@MyChihuahua l can relate
Sun and Stellium also ♓️🤍
Surely Austin is a “pant-less Pisces genius” 🤯 his explanations and examples are next level amazing
Pisces moon, I’ve watched this maybe five or six times already. It’s a masterpiece. And I cannot wait for Austin’s book to finally be released.
I have a pisces moon. I can feel other people's pain. The children in the school shooting. I cried for a week. I could feel their fear. I also cry easily from my feelings. Also have some physic dreams. I had a dream that saved my life. And more!

I feel you, my fellow Pisces. Well said. ❤
I get the connection with sag. they get me the most, without allowing me to drown. love em. love us pisces and water signs
Sag/Pisces, I see a lot of well matched couples Bryan Cranston, The Biebers, Sinatra, Keith Richards
The indescribable nature of Pisces is just so... Pisces. 😅
If you’re a Pisces, you understand exactly what Austin was referring to around the 38 min mark. Sheesh! Beautifully put.

Austin definitely understood Pisces…. He expanded and clarified well

Bulls eyes all across the board! Chris and Austin together are my all time dream team! Thank you both, you are the best!
I just found out I’m born one day after him. I feel exactly the same.
Congratulations on the completion of all the signs Chris! Well done.

There was a blizzard raging, I couldn’t see across the street, but everything is cozy inside and I’m listening to your podcast. Your show is the best Chris. Listening to you and Austin for 3 hours, 25 minutes, and 23 seconds was an absolute joy.
Thank you both.
Thats so adorable to wrap the series up with Austin!
Happy Birthday! I’m a Pisces Sun, Virgo Rising and Scorpio Moon….
So crazy how all the astrology signs make sense.. ❤
Lately I have felt that (my time) runs so much faster then everyone else, I always don’t have enough time, always running out of time or wishing I could just control my time to sSslooow down 😮
I’m so glad you got Austin! Wish we could’ve gotten Kelly on this episode too. It would’ve been nice to have Kelly, Austin, and Chris together again for the final sign and bring it all full circle.
Yes! Where's Kelly?
Just listening to this reminds me of something I've been studying lately. Mabey Virgo is the particle, and pisces, the wave. Chris asks great questions. I think Pisces are the old souls of the zodiac. Naturals of the dreamtime. They seem much more related to Neptune, where we sort of learn that it's all really a dream. (Thank God ). All we can do is search for our own souls, but in reality, that's all we can find! It's all good. We're all one. Namaste!
Austin - you’re my piscean astro Twin!!! It was such a pleasure to see the way you approach this whole topic, your body language, your energy… Thank you for your cameo in this episode! All my astro knowledge is self-study. And I’ve probably never taken any hobby sooooo deep on my own. With all the ‘f…k all this astro BS’ bouts and then coming back after a break that the Gemini in me needed not to drawn in it all, but Pisces craved eventually… I have much more understanding and even more compassion to my own inconsistencies (which Saturn and North Node in Virgo doesn’t really accept and forego that easily). May your 12th house Moon manifest all the goodies you want and need- just let your Gemini say it all at a proper time!!!
Austin and Chris masterclass
As a Pisces with an Aquarius father, I appreciate the focus you gave to this relationship.
oh gosh, i have an aquarius father
I have an Aquarius father tooo
Austin, I loved that comment on vices vs virtues comparison when talking about the differences of qualities between the virgo - pisces axis signs qualities. Thank you both. What a gem of a series!
This is the best analysis of Pisces I have ever heard. Thank you❤! -Moon in Pisces in 4th, Sun conjunct Uranus in Scorpio in 12th, Mars conjunct Neptune in Sag in 1st
Saturn in Pisces 1H second Saturn return on its way…. Not being able to understand how to handle this horse I’ve been given to ride brought me to astrology a couple years ago. This video along with Adam @ Nightlight’s last two videos on Saturn in Pisces have done more to help me understand myself than years of therapy ever did. Mind blowing. I’m Okay/Pisces are Okay will be the title of my book. Thank you 🙏 for this fantastic series. Love the Last but Not Least ❤️🥰
What a great episode. Pisces rules my second house. I'm a Virgo sun. When my busy mind needs a reset, I slip into my Pisces opposition of spirituality. What a blessing to be a part of this beautiful axis of service and spirit! ♍+♓= 💙
Awesome 🙏
The “Pisces chain of custody” is also very well shown and told by Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist and Pisces sun and venus John Frusciante who always tells in interviews how he doesn’t care about the riffs he comes up with for the band and that both his riffs as his presence in the band are really there to melt everything together as a whole. He also tells this in Rick Rubin’s podcast. Also a great example of rising, falling and rising back into grace after his heroin years.
❤ under the bridge so tall ✨
Perfect example. Frusciante embodies Pisces look as well so undone yet perfect and flowing. I knew straight away he had Pisces somewhere 😊
Yay! Pisces explained on my birthday!! Thanks guys 💖
Happy birthday! 💫💫💫
@@elsamatos2581 Thank you!
"Pisces fight club is all about the vibe. You just don't need to say anything." NAILED IT!!! (Pisces sun and mercury here).
As a triple Pisces ( Asc , Sun and Mercury ) : I love this ❤
Ive got the exact same placements.
Austin, thank you for clearing up so many misconceptions about our sign! it IS a vibe. Chris, thank you for this enlightening podcast.
Thanks guys, great show.
I have Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Chiron, Pallas and Juno all in Pisces.
Wow! I just have Sun in Pisces and Neptune trine it. I’m mushy. And get into all sorts of weird situations what with feeling others feelings. How do you bring yourself down to earth?
Jeez !!
Oh my gosh. Austin explained parts of me that I wasn’t even aware of but absolutely know to be true. Genius!
Pisces Stellium (sun, Venus, mercury, & Jup Jup). I love Austin’s interpretation of astrology. His insight and sagacity and humor is just brilliant. New subscriber and absolutely loving all the info! Thanks for sharing your passion with the world, Chris!
What an amazing resource are these sign episodes, especially for students.
I think part of the element of humility is not seeing yourself as superior to others; its also tied into empathizing with others. When you walk in someone else's shoes, you can't see yourself as superior to them.
These observations are Mind Blowing! Pisces Sun, Ascendant and north node here! Needing to take multiple breaks to "feel into" all of this amazing information!! I understand myself so much better now. Thank you both!
Austin really helped me realize that my submissive Pisces nature as a child was what brought about my neglect.
I wonder why you never hear Pisces are related to rivers, as that's how I used to hear it, and it would explain the evasiveness, since rivers can be dangerous and you'd have to be quick to avoid destruction, and can get scruffed up badly floating down rivers. They'd have to be quick thinkers, and naturally psychic. Plus, they feel the emotions but don't get stuck in them, because they're energy is constantly moving. I'm Scorpio, moon in Cancer, born year of water dragon, so learning much about water in this life time. Fantastic podcast!!!
This was deep, in a way that satisfied my Pisces Sun, Taurus Moon, Virgo rising. Also a stellium of Mercury, Mars and Saturn in Pisces- yowza.
I, too, was born March 5th with Mercury, sun, moon, and Venus in Pisces!
I watched this off and on for a couple weeks and it was very insightful as someone who is seeing a Pisces. I am a Libra and I’m far more decisive and steadfast and motivated than my Pisces interest but I think it’s because life has gotten to him and reality has set in and he can’t think pie in the sky because he has a very real situation that forces him to stay stagnant. Because he’s moving opposite of what Pisces should as far as flow, it causes him to be perpetually melancholy with glimmers of laughter and happiness when I’m around. I’ve decided that’s who I will be to him, support and light hearted energy.
I am the breath of fresh air he needed. I’m more into my divine feminine energy so I’m logical but loving.
I like how Austin spoke to the parallels within the polarities. I feel hopeful my friendship can continue with the Pisces I am seeing
Had life not given my Pisces a reality check, he would not be able to see my point of view on anything and me his POV so sadly it took healing independently before connecting for us to relate well to others.
I’m Libra Sun and Venus, Leo Rising Cap Moon and he’s Pisces Sun and Venus, Cancer Rising, Virgo Moon, and his Mars is in Virgo.
OK, after coming here a year later, I fully understand what they are taking about. He described me (Pisces) so well. The comparison to Virgo, was sorta negative, but actually true. We go with the flow, like a stream running down a slope, going around trees and rocks, always over thinking, because we want to UNDERSTAND, not just learn, this has forever gotten me in trouble because I am always OVERTHINKING every thing. I am also a good listener, truly listening and empathizing, which can be rough, because I want to solve their pain.
I was juuuuust looking for this video last night. Thank you Chris and Austin, this is beautiful!
Pisces is just so big and limitless... no boundaries, everything pours into it, sees everything at once, its visionary, but overwhelming, ( Jupiter in pisces)
Virgo / Pisces contrast: committed to tangible goal/ committed to a cause. Both are capable of commitment. Different drivers for motivation
Thank you guys for always bringing a smile to my face with your upload. I learned so much from you both. 💜😻
I keep coming back to this talk. We need a Pisces support group.
Thank you for this powerful insight. Not only did yall bring clarity yall as provided the fire to my creativeness to creat music again 🙏
Got Saturn and Mercury in Pisces, conjunct the descendant. Austin’s mention of the horror of being late in dreams rang EXTREMELY true for me; most dreams (nightmares, really) of mine involve being late for tests, or missing class, or being unable to find school materials, even though I graduated college over 5 years ago.
Thank you Chris. Thank you Austin. I feel privileged to be able to listen in on this deep dive into the Pisces archetype. 🙏👏🏿
Fellow Piscean! Great mention of Planescape Torment! Nice synchronicity and timeliness!
The bromance you two together ! Nice Pisces ♓️ insights!
As a fellow Pisces I've been waiting (somewhat 😉) patiently for this one. Thank you for doing these! Btw, Austin's Jupiter 🤯
I’m glad I found a podcast that is relatable. 👍
Thank you for doing this whole series, Chris. Loved it.❤ Happy belated birthday, Austin.
This was a beautiful conversation I love that you shared about Kurt Cobain I cried a few times watching this. 🎉
Pisces Sun, Mercury, Venus, and North Node (3H) and I'm already relating to this only 30 minutes in. I'm a Cancer moon and Sag Rising. I'll definitely be checking those out as well.
pisces is my favorite sign, despite not having any planets there myself. i deeply connect to the symbolism and the mode of being that the sign represents, and i loved listening to you guys expound and explain its many subtleties. g00d j0b ^_^
I’m a Pisces sun, Virgo rising, Capricorn moon and the part about having nightmares about running out of time is so real I’ve had that same reoccurring dream since I was a child. I fell out laughing. 😂
Always late, even in my dreams!!
Same Pisces sun, Cap Moon, and Virgo rising. I think what we fear most is the "point of no return" ..... That commitment, having to make a whole choice which limits us. We just can't do it unless we have ALOT of peace with the outcome.
I probably responded before but re-listening to this. Love y’all’s discussions.
Really loving the fact that Saturn is in Pisces... Puts my Neptune in Capricorn in perspective
Discussing Billy Corgan just in time for his bday!
The bit about The Smashing Pumpkins and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness reminded of "Violet" by Hole, which is reportedly about Courtney Love's relationship with Billy Corgan. The lyrics, "And the sky was made of amethyst, And all the stars were just like little fish" is allegedly a reference to Billy being a Pisces.
The song was written in '91, but not recorded until '93. It was officially released in '94 via the album Live Through This, by which time Saturn had entered Pisces and was Cj his Mercury (just as Mars in Pisces was Cj Billy's Sun).
Anyway, a lot of really good stuff in here. I've always been a little bummed I don't have any Pisces placements.
i love that song! Live through this was one of my first ever CDs I bought.
I have a Sun-Neptune conjunction (in Capricorn) and the details of the energy are honestly very similar to the Pisces energy described in this episode. This episode actually helped me clarify some of my pervasive Sun-Neptune themes and brought them to the surface to examine. I only have the north node in Pisces but that’s more of a collective placement.
Sun Neptune conjunct in Sag here😊
Great series! A big thank you to you Chris and everyone in front and behind the camera. Looking forward to a deep dive on the houses!
Just what I have been waiting for. Thank You!!
Someone shared a poem with me called the albatross yesterday and it’s this agonizing image of a majestic and powerful creature that gets stuck on a boat and is laughed at by the sailors, rendered powerless and unable to fly. It feels very pisces to me. I have a Virgo stellium and feel very much like that with Saturn in Pisces.
.. and did I just make a list of all these wonderful Pisces isms that you guys beautifully expounded on? 😂 .. Of course I did, and now I’m prepared. I’m ok with getting lost, as long as I have a map. Thank you!
I read the poem. Amazing how exactly it describes being stuck in the Pisces ocean.
Thank you Austin and Chris! This has given me a lot to consider. Everything Austin discussed around Piscean characteristics resonated so powerfully, I felt a bit seated and awed by it.
But, with no planets in my natal Pisces, Neptune in Sagittarius, and all other major aspects in primarily fire sign, with some air, I can’t seem to draw the connection as to why I am so very Piscean (based on Austin’s detailed description).
So much so, does his description align, I felt a bit of a liberating “oh my… that’s where I fit.” - sense of validation. Just not seeing it in my chart.
Either way, thanks guys for another informative and thought provoking episode. I appreciate your efforts, time and care that you put into these podcasts.
In heart,
Lillian
I call my avoiding things curating. I curate my life- finding the good.
I love this!! I do this as well.
it seems pisces enjoy being deeply immersed with themselves and also self touch just like the two fish. two mins in im already impressed
Austin--thanks for talking about Leonard Cohen. Moon in Pisces and that sharp Virgo Sun. He wrote such great music, Famous Blue Raincoat, I'm Your Man, Bird on a Wire, Tower of Song...the list of great songs is huge.
Libra was a good mate for 20+ years in all but love, empathy….loveless….but honesty, loyalty and helping me to put structure to my business plans worked well.
Illuminating discussion! I'm a Pisces with a moon in Libra, Cap Asc. & Mars in Scorpio. So much to appreciate in this discussion.
30:30 I was literally thinking about Ursala LeGuin and then he mentioned her
Pisces Sun & stellium here with an Aqua Rising and Gemini Moon...I feel so at home listening to this 🤣♓Thank you for calling out that when contrasting Virgo-Pisces, most people will do virtue versus vice. And for pointing out the "evasiveness" quality of Pisces - WOW this helped my understanding of my chart significantly more. (Also finding out Austin's birthday is the day before mine 🥳)
This was amazing - Austin your a genius - I wouid love to study with you .
I just went thru total confusion w a Pisces and I’m a cancer … this video could’ve saved us a very protracted argument …
Finally!! I’ve been waiting for so long!! Thank you guys!!!
Now that this series is over maybe you can start one on how each sign manifests in each planet
If taking the approach of learning a sign by comparison, note that Beyonce is Virgo and Rihanna is Pisces. Quite helpful.
Wow I’m a Pisces also March 5, my daughter was born on my birthday March 5 and my grandmother is also a Pisces which I’m super connected with! Wow so happy Im watching this !
Thank-you. I will listen to it again when I need some Pices team validation! ❤
"It's a Vibe" ♓We are all Stardust Magic 🧜♀
Sitting on the periphery...great analysis thank you.
Thank you for the reading. I am Pisces February 27. My wife passed away last year November 30 one girl that I saw and I think I love her. She told me that she has another another one that I’m seeing she is Virgo. She just talks all the time to me, I don’t know what to do. Thank you so much.
This has been fascinating to listen too. I'm only about 26mins in. I'm a Pisces Sun, Virgo Rising and a Cappy Moon. I'm always in my head and fantasizing these big ideas and then stopping myself from actually doing anything, due to over analyzing and a need for perfectionism. And then there always seems to be a sense of lost time ⌚ running out of time or not having enough time. Ty for sharing! I'll be watching Virgo and Cappy next!
Wow, that was good, complex Pisces, no wonder people have a hard time understanding us. I just learnt more about myself from this conversation .
It helps, thanks😊
I’m a Pisces Sun and Descendant. I love being a Pisces, BUT I will say that I’m glad I’m a Virgo rising, Aries Moon, and have a Capricorn stellium, otherwise I don’t know how I’d get anything done lol

I think you are both terrific! Great partnership xxx
It's funny that my son is Aquarius, Pisces moon, and he always escaped with sci-fi novels in jr. and hi school. A Leo rising, he went to parties, but never had a girl friend until he met his wife. He's so psychic! And very compassionate!
love the insight to my pisces moon.. talk about avoidance...i havent watched the news in over 2 years.. i just cant...i had chalked it up to my stellium in cancer..... thank you for this !!!!
Bravo! Excellent series and finale.
enjoyed the conversation of Pisces/Virgo. I have a Pisces sun & Virgo moon, as well as my partner is a Virgo sun!
I consider Mercury in Pisces to operate similarly to an Epimethean Mercury, where Mercury sets after the Sun. This is frequently seen in philosophers' charts. It reconsiders, ponders, wanders, goes deeply and more slowly to thoroughly probe the matter. Jung thought that an Epimethean Mercury indicated a problem, but in my experience, it depends on other factors in the chart, particularly Saturn and its relationship to Saturn. Leonard Cohen is a good example with an Epimethean Mercury and Saturn in Aquarius trined by Jupiter.
This video just played after another video I watched; it's FABULOUS!! I have a Pisces ☀️, Aquarius rising, and Sagittarius stellium, so this discussion is so pertinent to me. And I've never heard anyone discern the "avoidant" nature of Pisces I'm such a profound way. Thank you! Newly subscribed and looking forward to watching the rest of this series.
Taurus sun, libra moon, Pisces rising. This helped me understand my rising sign more!
