Pisces: Year of the Dog

An amusing and charming portrait of Dog-Pisces is contributed by the artist Analise Rigan. Dog, a handsome red setter, looks perfectly content enclosed in a bubble; in fact his tail is in the middle of a wag. Inquisitively, he glances over one shoulder — perhaps he is the leader of the pack and he’s looking back for his friends. Then again, he could just be enjoying the procession of colorful fish swimming among the spheres. Whichever it is, with that expressively intelligent profile, we can tell this is an eminently sensible animal. Soft of muzzle with lustrous and feathery fur, this is an exceptionally fine-looking Dog. But then, so are the fish that cruise with him. They are quite large, spaniel-sized and gleaming, with eyes and scales in exquisitely and iridescent colors. Their tails are graceful as they encircle the Dog’s bubble with careful nurturance, just as they would their own offspring. There is a cool, gleaming quality to Rigan’s rich underwater dream as Dog and Pisces move through the water, element of Pisces.

Dog-Pisces is a most interesting combination; Dog is born to worry, Pisces to perceive and evolve. But there may be an underlying fragility here. Rigan’s bubbles could burst bringing this dream to an end. Yet this is sometimes naive zodiac combination somehow works, even though a bit easy to take advantage of. For all the tender qualities the subjects of this East-West sign display, they are really quite formidable. Due to Dog’s persistence this person can tough it out. Because of Pisces’ wisdom this person can learn to trust.

This is how the merging of East and West works. Each sign teaches and moderates the other. Without Pisces to guide him, Rigan’s dog would not have so peacefully submerged. Without Dog’s determination the fish might swim away, leaving the setter to drift alone. Here we see the magic of the fused world and personality that has Rigan created for Dog-Pisces.
