The Pisces myth

Before the end of Pisces season, I leave you its story, because tomorrow the Sun will enter Aries:

The mythology behind the Pisces constellation has its roots in Syria with Astarte, the goddess of love and fertility. She was represented by a half woman figure, half fish, and is believed to be the inspiration for the Greek goddess Aphrodite and the Roman goddess Venus. The Pisces constellation is linked to the story of Aphrodite (Venus) and her son Eros (Cupid), and both escaped from the monster Typhoon by jumping into the sea and becoming fishes. According to a different version, they were on the Euphrates river at that time, and they jumped into the river. When they entered the water, they tied themselves with a rope so as not to get lost. On the Syrian coasts of the Euphrates river, eating fish is still considered taboo. There is another version of this myth in which Aphrodite and Eros jumped into the water and two fish came to their rescue, and then the fish were raised to heaven as the ultimate honor for having saved the gods. This last one I think is the most accurate version.

Conclusion: in this short summary of the similar myths of Pisces it is easy to recognize for example why that sign is the exaltation position of Venus, since it is the fishes that save the goddess and her son: salvation is the most transcendental element in this zodiac sign along with forgiveness. Saving someone or trying to do so corresponds with the values ​​of the last mutable archetype, which often goes out of control and people with strong Pisces traits end up being martyrs. When Venus is in Pisces, you throw yourself into the water (although sometimes there is none), for others and try to rescue them (even if those people do not want such a thing). But even so, their intentions are still the noblest of them all, many times forgiving the unforgivable.
