The Pisces Mixtape: Feel Me Flow

Art by Yasmin Hernandez

Shout out to all of the Pisces ! Yes, your time has come. Enchanting, intuitive and elusive, spoken words cannot fully grasp your other worldliness. All that the average person can muster to ask is: "you're not from around here, are you?" Whenever  others feel like they have you in their grasp, what they fail to remember is they've only captured one of the fish and there's another one still swimming somewhere "out there." At your best, you're creative, sensitive and empathetic- with a seductive dose of mystery that slowly inflitrates the psyche, heart and bloodstream of others. Your shadow is the charlatan, who is so  mired in mental chaos, deception and confusion that your version of the "truth" is now illegal in all 50 states. Your evolutionary homework consists of blending your uncanny powers of perception with the discrimination of a fact finding mission. Discovering the grounding and the container that you need to make your dreams and ideals manifest in the outside world. Using creative visualization to build structures worthy of your time and energy. Pisces, may the force be with you.
