It couldn’t possibly be more appropriate that Hexagram 55: Abundance of the I Ching is the one greeting us as Pisces season begins.
As this hexagram says:
“ABUNDANCE has success.
The king attains abundance.
Be not sad.
Be like the sun at midday.”
Hilary Barrett says in her translation:
In a time of Abundance you find that, despite what you have lost, there is a new charge given to you that leaves no place for sorrow or anxiety. It is not the time to hide yourself away and grieve the past. Decide what you will do, take it on, make the practical preparations and march out.
Well, then. After the Saturnian, wintry, hermit-y seasons of Capricorn and Aquarius, this is a welcome message.
Pisces is a mutable water sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance, faith, and hope.
This hexagram is comprised of the trigrams Water over Fire. Water is fluid and adaptable, while Fire is dynamic and transformative. This combination suggests a time of flowing with the currents of life, embracing change, and surrendering to the natural ebb and flow of existence – a theme that aligns with the mutable nature of Pisces.
Mercury, Mars, and Venus are still in Aquarius. Saturn is in Pisces for the next couple of years. There still is plenty of Saturnian grounding in the air to help us make those needed practical preparations prior to marching out. But as Mercury, Mars, and Venus gradually enter Pisces, you should see greater emotional depth, creativity, intuition, and compassion in the Pisces area of your life.
I know the word “abundance” is overused to the point of being trite. Phrases like “abundant mindset” can be eyeroll-inducing. Abundance, however, isn’t a quantity of anything – rather, it is a knowing that there is enough and that you are enough.
