New Age Martyrs

But, there are clear-cut healthy ways to manifest these energies and darker temptations. Neptune/Pisces (N/P) people have a natural sense of yielding, letting others go first, caring about others to large degrees, being selfless, gentle, non-confrontive and in general, avoiding conflict and/or the realities of life. Their tendency to escape is really based upon a deep archetypal influence of wanting to “go back Home” or return to God. However, the “escape” temptations of this sign or planet often go awry, giving way to alcoholism, drug-use, criminal behavior, self-delusion or psychosis and many other unpleasant manifestations.

The healthy desire to “go with the flow” unfortunately far too commonly becomes aimlessness, floating with no purpose or ambition. It can become a sad situation. I once sat with a quintuple Pisces (Sun in Pisces, Moon in Pisces, Pisces rising, major Neptune configurations all in the twelfth house!). Much of her day was spent listening to voices coming out of her TV telling her what to do – the TV was tuned in between channels. A very sad experience. Certainly an extreme case.

That just gives you a very general background of this mostly misunderstood beautiful energy. What I’m talking about in this article are those oh-so-many people who think that any time anything goes wrong in their life, it must be their fault. The only response they have learned to “get themselves through life” is to hang on the cross for a few more days or months or years. Clearly, our grave (pun intended) misunderstanding of one Jesus of Nazareth holds a great deal of disinformation about what His sacrifice was really all about. I am no religious scholar, so I will stop here.
