Excerpts and Reviews

"The End of Hope, the Beginning of Truth" captures the particular way the influence of Neptune and Pisces fosters our evolution and challenges our security. This phrase is far from being pessimistic as it may initially sound; in actuality, it is the most liberating mantra. Hopes are symbolized by Aquarius which precedes Pisces in the zodiac, and psychologically speaking, they imply aspirations for beneficial outcomes. In this manner, hopes are a subliminal hold on security: an unconscious attempt to secure a promising future. This is in itself a totally sane and humane affirmation, because in hoping for a positive future, we are motivated to create it. Nevertheless, truth is ultimately more vital than hope, and this is where Pisces progresses beyond Aquarius. The Pisces archetype through Neptune, the 12th House, and the sign of Pisces, takes us beyond our projections and aspirations to a place where we have to surrender all control, including in the form of hopes, and respond to life with neutrality; it reflects the maturity of witnessing reality with as little possible intervention from the mind and accepting its nature as it really is.

The sign of Pisces basically represents the infinite unknown and the requirement to get to know it. This eternal equation keeps the individual humble, doubting, and receptive, instead of imposing, absolute, or disdainful. Since Pisces represents the unknown, it implies inevitable surrendering. Yet, despite having ultimately no choice but to surrender, one is challenged to do so as an act of will and not as an act of defeat. To succeed means that one's efforts were fruitful in attaining the adequate level of awareness and humility. From humility results an incredible power of adaptation and improvisation. This power has nothing to do with blindly adapting to everything indiscriminately, but rather with using every opportunity to learn about the truth.
