Swimmin' With the Fishes

Swimmin' with the fishes…do you think Tony Soprano and the New Jersey mob considered the poetry of this statement when they talked about Pussy Bompensiero? Pussy got wacked and whenever he was mentioned afterwards they usually said this is what he was doing and it was short for, "we killed him and dumped in the Atlantic Ocean". How beautiful that even in death there is action according to the wise guys and not only action but lucid, fluid, movement and interaction with others. It's not the end after all is it?

Pisces. The two fishes. Twelfth house of the zodiac. Part of the trinity associated with water and therefore the emotional, psychic body. The two fishes have various different stories from the days of Babylon to the Greeks and then the Romans but the constant among them is that one is male and the other female and they are conjoined.  The union of opposites. Pisces represents a place where we go to hide things, (like the mob eh?) The symbol exudes movement and suggests that the end is but a passage to a new beginning and indeed, after these last few days of the moon in Pisces the cycle will continue into Ares where things should start to fire up in some big ways. But for now, enjoy the deep waters of Pisces where even a mob hit can take on poetic meaning.
