With Uranus now electrifying the waters of Pisces, it might seem easy to overstate the case of what a momentous and formative era this is for you, cousin fish. But I don’t think that’s a problem. Overstatement is not the issue; accuracy is.

I said recently that it’s not “your life” that’s changing. You are changing, and your life is shifting, stretching and bending to accommodate you.
It is accurate to say that both your creative power and your yearning for freedom are growing in equal and somewhat shocking measure, and that these make a good combination. Your appetite for life is returning as if from nowhere, and that’s a sign that you’re growing healthier and stronger. A sense of restlessness that set in last year around your birthday has taken hold of you fully, and now, nothing that once seemed impossible, daunting or too dangerous to consider – or too positive, liberating or amazing — is beyond serious consideration.
Please ask yourself, and tell me: are you starting to really get it that anything is truly possible, and that anything is possible for you? The great thing is that, for some reason, this is not scary any more. I see you ready to revolt against all those who held you down, but it’s a revolution of creative fire, not of anger or discontent. There is a big difference, as you’ll see.
The Venus-Sun conjunction of late spring happens in your 4th solar house, Gemini. This offers you something very strange for a Pisces: a sense of worldly security. There’s also the promise that a dualism (i.e., a stressful schizophrenic emotional influence) from childhood resolves itself. This opens you up to an entirely new emotional perspective. There may be a major change or substantial improvement in the life of a parent; something rare to see and feel. I suggest you participate to the degree that feels appropriate for you; know what that is.
Centaur planet Asbolus (discovered in 1995) has recently entered Pisces. Asbolus is a planet that demands the most clear focus of intuition you can muster. It is arguably one of the most dangerous centaur planets, he also bestows clarity and depth of psychic vision — but you have to look, and you must pay attention.
Chiron moving through Capricorn, your 11th solar house, is opening the way for your creative expression. Saturn, opposing it in Cancer, has given you strength and discipline. The two are critical companions to the Promethean spirit that has seized your reality. As you’ve seen, no matter how brilliant or innovative an idea is, it must adhere to a certain amount of convention to get the job done, or to be a commercial success. Chiron in Capricorn is all about mediating the relationship between you and the bosses, the programming department and the public relations department to make sure you can present your ideas in a way that’s clean, clear and obviously compelling. That you’re getting to make these decisions now, that you have the choices that you do, is a testament to your tenacity, but more so for the gift you’ve given yourself in the form of honoring your highest vision over a long period of time.
Let’s take a trip in spacetime back to when Saturn visited your sign. That was between 1994 and 1996. It’s hard to believe that this commenced a full decade ago, yet I imagine you still remember those years quite well. Since we’re concerning ourselves with accuracy, I reckon it’s accurate to say that you did some maturing in those days, and that you made several important decisions you’re still living with today. Saturn does that to a person; there is this sense of being compelled by necessity to do what you absolutely must do. One chooses, and it seems like the choices are rather constricted or the lesser of two undesirables. Really, decisions made under Saturn cut out the fluff. They are narrow doors to wide open places. Or as Patric Walker put it at the time, Saturn always gives you more than he takes away.
Now you’re standing in that wide space. The planet under whose influence you find yourself is something of an opposite energy to Saturn. Uranus boils with the prospect of freedom and movement from deep inside. While under Saturn one must learn to live with restrictions, under Uranus, one learns how to break free of restriction. For a Pisces, accustomed to taking the shape your environment dictates, and living on the schedules of others, this can be a strange feeling.
Uranus gives you a measure of freedom within the constraints of time. Uranus says the time for action is now. Action is creation, movement, exploration and considering the value of what you don’t need long enough to leave it behind. This sounds awfully confident. an confidence is an issue for most Pisceans. But Uranus, coupled with the steadying influence of Saturn in Cancer, is teaching you what you’re capable of, and the two themes join together to present you with a realistic picture of the risks you want to take, the rewards you want, and what you’re willing to exchange. Before you start digging into what you love and value and offering it in trade, remember that there are plenty of antiques in your attic that would get a gold penny at auction, and you wouldn’t miss them a bit.
Astrology students know that the 5th is the house of risks, fun, kids, art and romance, and Saturn there may not seem too thrilling. But with a power as strong as Uranus acting on you, you need Saturn’s assistance there. This is like the ballast at the bottom of the ship that helps it sail sleekly across the water.
