The Pisces II period takes the Loner as its central image. According to the Grand Cycle of Life, in human terms this period relates to the time when a person reaches the majestic age of eighty. At this point, feelings of oneness with the nature of things but isolation form the world of man may arise. Many friends and perhaps a life partner have departed, leaving the octogenarian to carry on. This can be an extremely trying time both psychologically and physically – thus keeping positive about life may be difficult. Some now yearn for an easy end, but others may enjoy a final release from the responsibilities of this world and thus experience a sense of renewed freedom. The days comprise Pisces II symbolically reveal a person very advanced in years turning inward and pursuing purely internal goals in relative isolation. Thinking creatively and imaginatively, contemplating rewards or punishments in the afterlife and apprehending a heightened sense of beauty in the nature of things are all typical of this period.

Their own best companion, they are capable of spending hours and days alone with a good book, or with their work, without needing to talk to anyone. Dangerous areas for the Pisces II personality include anything with a strong habituative or addictive quality – drugs, drink, sex. Friends and mates of a practical nature tend to bring them down to earth. Meanwhile, children will help them share their sense of wonder and awe at the natural world.

They are soulful, intimate and graceful. The weakness is that they feel disappointed, reclusive. To comfort themselves from disappointment and rejection they may surrender to the pursuit of money or retreat to a fantasy –full interior life, often devoted to beauty and imagination.

Try to remain realistic in your outlook. Resist the lure of escapes, in all their varied forms. On the other hand, leave a window open on the world. Continue to strive for trust and acceptance, but remember to stand up for yourself as well. Improving your social position may make certain things easier for you. Your suffering may neither be unique or, for that matter, necessary.
