Pisces, without Virgo, risks idealism, delusion, and self-sacrifice. So many have been cheated into following gurus, teachers, and cults, that promise salvation but turn out to be frauds. Religions and cults have long abused the energy of Pisces, by convincing us that our critical faculties interfere with our spiritual lives. We ought to trust, have faith, believe, and not question. And then we are ripe for abuse by power hungry, manipulative leaders…
One belief I’m grappling with now is: does everything happen for a reason? Is there some divine plan for us? Is there an order of things beyond what our will can comprehend? This idea is central to all mystical traditions. And I think if we take our spiritual lives seriously, I don’t see a way to avoid it. And yet, the difficulty with it is that is seems to imply that there is a reason for injustice and suffering. Are we supposed to think that people deserve to be oppressed? That is clearly wrong.
