Pisces Holidays. Celebrations of spirituality, love, kindness, beauty, and nature.

Dear Lovestar,

I did this for Scorpio season when I highlighted the Scorpio season holidays of the dark and of war. It was enlightening to see that some holidays (certainly not all) aligned with the astrological energy at the time. Guess what? There are no dark holidays during Pisces season (that I found during 1 day of research)

Today, I am researching the holidays celebrated during the Pisces season, and I want to know which ones align with the Pisces energy.

Note: Not all holidays and celebratory days were included, and this information was collected online. There might be errors, and if you find one, please point it out.

Pisces Season Holidays

• International Women’s Day – Celebrated on March 8th, it’s a global day honoring women. Of course, women would be celebrated during Pisces season.
• Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) – Celebrated in various countries with vibrant parades and festivities before the Lent season begins. The notable Pisces energy here is the creativity and beauty of costumes and floats as well as the spiritual aspect of the celebration.
• St. Patrick’s Day – Celebrated on March 17th, it honors the patron saint of Ireland with parades, wearing green, and festivities. I didn’t find much Pisces energy in St. Patrick’s Day, but immediately I thought of the green everyone wears on this day for a reason I don’t understand. Green in spirituality means love with the heart chackra being green. Regardless of the intention of this celebration, wearing and seeing so much green would have the subtle effect of opening the heart to love, thus encouraging the Piscean energy of love and kindness. Additionally, we Pisces are very spiritual as this holiday is.

Pisces Season Celebrations

• International Day of Happiness – Observed on March 20th, it promotes the idea that the pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human goal. In 2024, Pisces season ends on the 19th, but on some years, our season extends until the 20th. This is the Pisces/Aries cusp. Pisces energy infiltrating Aries energy.
• World Wildlife Day (March 3rd) – A United Nations initiative to raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation and biodiversity. Pisces wants to save the world.
• World Poetry Day (March 21st) – Celebrated by UNESCO to promote the reading, writing, publishing, and teaching of poetry around the world. This should be a Pisces celebration… missed by one day. Pisces cusp energy. I’ll have to celebrate this day! 
• World Day of Social Justice (February 20th) – A day to promote efforts to tackle issues such as poverty, inequality, and social exclusion, fostering a culture of acceptance and equality. Do you see a Pisces doing this? I would…
• World Thinking Day (February 22nd) – Celebrated by Girl Guides and Girl Scouts worldwide, it promotes friendship, diversity, and understanding among young people from different backgrounds. Of course…
• World Day of Prayer (First Friday of March) – A global observance where people of different faiths come together to pray for peace, unity, and understanding. Genius idea. I must celebrate this! Different faiths suggest unity, kind of a Pisces theme.

Pisces Season Religious Holidays

During the period from February 21st to March 20th, various religious celebrations take place around the world. Here are some notable ones:

♡♡♡ 1. Lent (Christianity) – Begins with Ash Wednesday (February 21st in 2024) and ends before Easter Sunday. It’s a season of fasting, repentance, and reflection for Christians, leading up to the celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. Pisces themes are: repentance and forgiveness, sacrifice, renewal and spiritual growth, and charity.

♡♡♡ 2. Mahashivaratri (Hinduism) – Typically falls in late February or early March, depending on the Hindu lunar calendar. It’s a Hindu festival dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva, marked by fasting, prayers, and night-long vigils.

While Mahashivaratri is primarily focused on the worship of Lord Shiva and spiritual practices, certain themes associated with the celebration can also encompass peace, love, romance, joy, and kindness:

1. Peace: Mahashivaratri symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and the triumph of truth over falsehood. It’s a time to seek inner peace and harmony through meditation, prayers, and devotion to Lord Shiva, who is often regarded as the embodiment of tranquility and serenity.
2. Love and Devotion: Mahashivaratri is a celebration of divine love and devotion towards Lord Shiva. Devotees express their love and reverence through rituals, offerings, chanting of sacred hymns, and observing fasts as acts of devotion.
3. Divine Union: In some cultural interpretations, Mahashivaratri is associated with the divine union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Their love story symbolizes the cosmic balance and the complementary forces of masculine and feminine energies. Devotees may reflect on the significance of love, union, and partnership within their own lives.
4. Joy and Celebration: Mahashivaratri is a joyous occasion marked by fervent worship, singing of hymns, and participating in community festivities. It’s a time for devotees to rejoice in the presence of the divine and celebrate the blessings of Lord Shiva in their lives.
5. Kindness and Compassion: Mahashivaratri encourages acts of kindness, compassion, and generosity towards others. Devotees often engage in charitable activities, such as feeding the hungry, donating to the needy, and helping those less fortunate, reflecting the spirit of selflessness and service

♡♡♡ 3. Purim (Judaism) – Usually occurs in late February or early March, commemorating the salvation of the Jewish people from Haman’s plot as recounted in the Book of Esther. It’s celebrated with feasting, reading the Megillah (Book of Esther), giving gifts, and charity. On the linked video, the Kabalah rabbi says that during this celebration, they get dressed up and wear masks. Please help because I’m not certain, but is that similar to how Mardi Gras is celebrated?

Purim, a Jewish holiday commemorating the deliverance of the Jewish people from the plot of Haman, as described in the Book of Esther, does share some thematic similarities with Mahashivaratri, albeit within the context of Jewish tradition:

1. Peace: Purim celebrates the preservation of peace and security for the Jewish people, as Queen Esther’s intervention prevented a massacre. It emphasizes the importance of peace, both within the Jewish community and in the broader world.
2. Love and Unity: Purim highlights the themes of love, unity, and solidarity among the Jewish people. It’s a time for families and communities to come together, share meals, exchange gifts, and express affection for one another.
3. Joy and Celebration: Purim is known for its festive atmosphere, marked by singing, dancing, costumes, and merry-making. It’s a time to experience joy and celebration, expressing gratitude for the deliverance and salvation granted to the Jewish people.
4. Kindness and Generosity: Purim encourages acts of kindness and generosity towards others, particularly through the practice of “matanot l’evyonim” (gifts to the poor). Observant Jews are also enjoined to share festive meals with friends and provide assistance to those in need.
5. Victory over Adversity: Purim commemorates the triumph of the Jewish people over their enemies, illustrating the resilience and perseverance of the Jewish faith in the face of adversity. It’s a time to reflect on the themes of courage, determination, and divine providence.

While Purim and Mahashivaratri arise from different religious and cultural contexts, they both embody themes of peace, love, joy, kindness, and triumph over adversity, some Pisces themes, I would say.

♡♡♡ 4. Holi (Hinduism) – Falls on the full moon day in the Hindu month of Phalguna, which typically occurs in March. Also known as the festival of colors, it celebrates the arrival of spring with the throwing of colored powders, music, dancing, and festive foods. This celebration is so Pisces. I think I’m going to observe it, too! I’d love to visit India one day, when I do, it should be for this festival.

 Holi, the Hindu festival of colors, shares several thematic similarities with both Mahashivaratri and Purim:

1. Unity and Harmony: Holi promotes unity and harmony among people, regardless of caste, creed, or social status. It’s a time when barriers are broken down, and people come together to celebrate and enjoy each other’s company.
2. Love and Friendship: Holi is often referred to as the “festival of love” because it celebrates the divine love between Lord Krishna and Radha. It’s also a time for people to express their love and affection for friends and family through the exchange of colored powders and sweets.
3. Joy and Celebration: Holi is one of the most joyous and exuberant festivals in Hinduism, characterized by music, dance, and the splashing of colors. It’s a time for people to let loose, have fun, and experience pure joy and happiness.
4. Kindness and Forgiveness: Holi encourages acts of kindness, forgiveness, and reconciliation. It’s a time to mend broken relationships, bury past grievances, and start anew with a spirit of forgiveness and understanding.
5. Victory of Good over Evil: Holi commemorates various mythological events, including the triumph of good over evil. The burning of the demoness Holika and the destruction of the demoness Putana by Lord Krishna symbolize the victory of righteousness and virtue.

Overall, Holi embodies themes of unity, love, joy, kindness, and the triumph of good over evil, fostering a sense of communal harmony and spiritual renewal among participants. Like Mahashivaratri and Purim, it highlights the universal human values of compassion, joy, and celebration across cultural and religious boundaries, very Pisces energy.

♡♡♡ 5. Nowruz (Various cultures, particularly Persian and Central Asian) – Marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the new year in the Persian calendar. Celebrated on the vernal equinox, which falls around March 20th, it’s observed with feasting, family gatherings, and various cultural traditions.

Nowruz, the Persian New Year celebration, also shares thematic similarities with Holi, Mahashivaratri, and Purim while also emphasizing beauty and gratitude:

1. Unity and Renewal: Nowruz celebrates the arrival of spring and the renewal of nature, symbolizing new beginnings and the cyclical nature of life. It fosters a sense of unity and renewal among families, communities, and nations.
2. Love and Family: Nowruz is a time for families to come together, exchange visits, and share festive meals. It emphasizes the importance of love, unity, and familial bonds in Persian culture.
3. Joy and Celebration: Nowruz is marked by joyous celebrations, including traditional rituals, music, dance, and feasting. It’s a time for people to express gratitude for the blessings of the past year and look forward to the opportunities of the new year.
4. Beauty and Nature: Nowruz celebrates the beauty of nature and the wonders of creation. People adorn their homes with flowers, set up colorful displays, and engage in activities that celebrate the beauty of the natural world.
5. Gratitude and Reflection: Nowruz encourages individuals to reflect on the past year, express gratitude for blessings received, and set intentions for the year ahead. It’s a time for introspection, gratitude, and expressing appreciation for the abundance in one’s life.
6. Community and Generosity: Nowruz promotes community spirit and generosity towards others, particularly those in need. People exchange gifts, give to charity, and extend hospitality to friends, family, and strangers alike.
