CREATE FOR A CAUSE
prompts for the month of february

Pisces season begins on the 19th day of February and, with it, comes the opportunity to re-evaluate our sense of creative purpose.

‘You may have read that the Pisces symbol of two fish, swimming in opposite directions, indicates that the Neptunian is torn by dual desires. It's not so,’ writes renowned sixties poet and astrologer Linda Goodman. ‘The two fish in reversed directions symbolize the choice given Pisces: to swim to the top or to swim to the bottom and never quite reach his goals. Pisces must learn that he is to serve mankind in some way and eschew worldly possessions. Piscean Einstein, who swam upstream, formulated a whole new world of relative time.’

It may be a rather lofty ideal, but it also serves as a gentle reminder of the treasure that can be unearthed when we decide to swim upstream. When we choose to express ourselves in service to something greater. To create for a cause.

This February, we encourage you to contemplate your subjects and seek out the purpose that kindles your creative spirit.
