The two ways it runs
When it flows
You know things without knowing how. Your intuition works quietly behind you, out of sight, and hands you a true sense of a person or a situation long before the reasons catch up. You are open to what goes unspoken, and when you trust that quiet knowing it rarely leads you wrong.
When it strains
The signals get crossed. Intuition and imagination blur, so you cannot tell a real hunch from a fear or a wish, and you can be led off course by something you only imagined you sensed. Being so open means you soak up everyone else’s moods until you can no longer find your own.
Where this differs from mainstream astrology
The twelve signs sit the same way in both the Sefer Yetzirah and the later Golden Dawn system, so Pisces’s letter (Qoph) and path are not in dispute. What the Golden Dawn moved was the seven planets — which is where kabbalistic astrology quietly parts from almost every modern book.
