AQUARIFISH, or the AQUARIUS/PISCES Cusp, February 16 – February 22: Also called the Cusp of Sensitivity, the AQUARIFISH is an overlapping and admixture of the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Aquarius, and the twelfth and last sign of the zodiac, Pisces. The Aquarifish cusp can be symbolically likened in human terms to the period around seventy-seven years of age, and comes amid the freezing, harsh weather of late winter (in the northern hemisphere). However, winter will soon be over and spring on the way as the days increasingly lengthen. In human development, at the age of seventy-seven, the close of the life cycle may be near for many who still survive. By this time the human being should have come to terms with his/her life and to peace with loved ones and friends. Breaking down any armoring that remains and showing honest feelings are important now. Rarely will new projects be taken on at this time, but the explorations involved in ending life may come to represent a kind of ultimate peak experience for the highly philosophical. The emphasis now should be on peace, acceptance and getting one’s internal house in order. Accepting mortality with grace and dignity, even preparing for it psychologically and spiritually, rather than succumbing to fear, denying and fighting it, may be a more enlightened way to go. The days which comprise AQUARIFISH cusp exemplify some of the manifestations of Sensitivity (the central theme of this cusp) where the active, inventive and universal Aquarius impulses merge with watery, impressionable and dreamy Pisces qualities. THE AQUARIFISH PERSONALITY: The sensitive souls born on this cusp direct most of their energy within two spheres: the personal and the universal, often bypassing the worldly sphere in the process. Indeed, the Aquarifish may be seen as an explorer who has courage enough to dig deep within him/herself but also yearns to soar off into the beyond. Perhaps the ultimate synthesis for such an individual to accomplish is to recognize the extremes of internal and external, subjective and objective, personal and universal as simply two sides of the same coin. Also, because the middle ground (symbolically speaking, the functioning ego and its social expression) is the most difficult for those born on this cusp to tread, they may have to focus more of their energy on managing the business of life. Every cusp personality comprises conflicting elements, being influenced by two very different adjacent signs. In the case of this particular cusp, the dynamic, universal nature of Aquarius is either tempered or challenged by the highly subjective, personal nature of Pisces. More successful people born on this cusp are able to integrate these two sides of their character, neither losing themselves to unrealistic dreams nor submerging themselves in the depths of their own concerns. AQUARIFISH people have a hunger for experience. For many, impressions from the outside world are the food or fuel which powers their creative motor. But as they are sensitive to the extreme, it is difficult for them to remain objective in their contacts with the world. This is part of the reason why their attempts to create balance in their daily life are highly problematical. ADVICE FOR AQUARIFISH: Don’t give up on the world or retreat behind fences. If necessary, tear obstructions down to rediscover your sensitive self. Learning to trust may mean ceasing to fear. Without denying your need to explore the depths and the heights, take the middle road more often. AQUARIFISH ATTRACTIONS: People born on this cusp are generally most attracted to other cusp people, particularly GEMICAN (Cancer/Gemini) and LEOVIRG (Leo/Virgo) cusps.
