Azra’s Astrology: Pisces the Fish

Humans have had millennia to really think about these signs and the different correlations to them. There’s so much that even the ones I am presenting aren’t even close to everything involved with the sign in question. There’s so much more like what body parts, what tarot card, flowers, crystals, you get the idea. Use this as a jumping off point and do your own research. I am sure there’s a specific pizza associated with each of these signs too. So here we go. The twelfth and final zodiac sign is Pisces.

Fish are important to humans. Always have been. It’s really no surprise that most of their mythic imagery contains fish in one way or another. That’s why the Pisces zodiac is not surprising. They are, simply put, fish.

Not to be confused with the majestic, yet terrifying Goat Fish, Pisces tend to focus on the dreams of their victims. Yes, you read that right; victims. They are masters at hypnosis and will have any poor soul trapped in an illusion faster than they could blink. Once in that illusion, the Pisces can control what happens to the victim in this imaginary world. Why do they do all of this? Simple. It’s secrets they are after. All of your secrets. But why do they want your secrets? I dunno. It’s a mystery. You can bet they’re not up to anything good, though.

Pisces often tend to be entertainers of some kind- musicians, dancers, actors, poets, circus folk, or therapists. Anything that will allow them a chance to suck their audience into the imaginary world they create. It’s all a trap.

Azra’s Astrology: Capricorn the Goat Fish?

Humans have had millennia to really think about these signs and the different correlations to them. There’s so much that even the ones I am presenting aren’t even close to everything involved with the sign in question. There’s so much more like what body parts, what tarot card, flowers, crystals, you get the idea. Use this as a jumping off point and do your own research. I am sure there’s a specific pizza associated with each of these signs too. So here we go. The tenth zodiac sign is Capricorn.

Goat-fish or sea-goats are a real thing. Or at least they were. Like the centaurs, these creatures were created in antiquity and then eventually were discovered to be hellish abominations. Unlike the centaurs, the goat-fishes wanted dominion over the land and sea. They attacked many human settlements and fishing ships, waging one of the first inter-species wars. Because of their irascibility, humans learned to kill them on sight or avoid them at all costs. The sea-goats eventually made their way to the wilderness and would only attack if some human came too close to their nest. They say there are few sea-goats left in the world, but the ones who hang on still have a burning desire for world domination.

People born under the sign of Capricorn tend to be stubborn and selfish, like their symbol, the sea-goats. They may or may not be planning to take over the world, so if you meet one, use extreme caution. It’s still uncertain if the Capricorns are affiliated with the actual remaining sea-goats, so be on the look out for strange goat-fish related paraphernalia when you hang out at your Capricorn friends’ house. Report your findings to the FBI or some other government agency. Above all else, don’t let a Capricorn know what you are doing. They will take you out without a second thought.

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Pick up that Scam Likely call because the universe is trying to get ahold of you. Don’t send the universe to voice mail. It’s rude. 

Leo                        (Jun 23 – Aug 22)

Avoid anything that has to do with money today. Don’t buy anything, don’t pick up pennies, don’t accept money either. It’ll be bad if you do.

Change is coming. Use the natural energy in your life to catapult yourself straight into it. You’ll only regret it a little bit.

People are complicated and hyper-criticism won’t help matters. Like it or not, you need people to further your nefarious plans.
