In Pisces we strengthen the physical sheath which is now emerging from the dark depths of winter to bloom in the spring. The inner soul-warmth we kindled within during the winter moves outward into the world through our our actions, flowing forth from our hands and feet.
Rudolf Steiner offers twelve verses of the zodiacal moods revealing the human experience as a reflection of the cosmos. He says, "Thus an attempt has been made to offer a sequence of feeling, sensing, and speaking, which, as it is presented, gives, as it were, another version of the inner soul-feeling in relation to what has flowed into the movements of our solar system. The structure of twelve verses, each with seven lines, corresponds, you could say, to the outer skeleton. If you take this attempt at a twelve/seven-membered poem, however, you will see that what wishes to reveal itself is present in every detail."

The first edition of the Calendar of the Soul (1912) contained reproductions of new zodiacal images made by Imme von Eckardstein according to indications given by Dr Steiner. Rudolf Steiner says of them, "In this Calendar will be found signs that differ from those handed down by tradition, because the latter are no longer suitable for modern consciousness. These pictures of the Zodiacal constellations are representations of actual experiences connected with the waking and sleeping of particular spiritual Beings. We have in these pictures a renewal of certain knowledge that needs to be renewed at the present time, because the third post-Atlantean culture-epoch must as it were rise again in the fifth epoch."
