Uranus in Pisces

Posted 06/01/2003

On March 3, 2003, Uranus, the planet of sudden shock, freedom, rebellion, sudden insight, and revolution, enters the waters of Piscean imagination, mysticism, compassion, escapism, the unknown, and spiritual wisdom. It will reside there until March 0f 2011, except for a brief backtrack into Aquarius from September 16 until December 30. This energy will be quite different from Uranus' transit through its home sign of Aquarius where it kept things speeding along and revolutionized technology through computers and the explosion of the internet.

Uranus last passed through Pisces from 1919 to 1928. Changes were seen in drugs, ruled by Pisces. For example, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, Vitamins D and E were discovered, and insulin was isolated to treat people with diabetes. Rebellion against alcohol showed itself when Prohibition was adopted. Television and radio exploded, and Walt Disney created his first cartoon, opening doors to both Piscean escapism and imagination. Albert Einstein, himself a Sun in Pisces, revolutionized scientific thinking with his theory of relativity, which opened doors to probing both the scientific (Uranus) and the mystical (Pisces). So, what can we expect?

It is likely that we will see more scientific discoveries around these same issues. Technological "virtual reality" may take on new meaning. We may see more acceptance and insight into alternative methods of healing. Drugs will be in the forefront. Drugs and alcohol when used as escape routes will be highlighted; substance abuse counselors will be busy as those with addictions will be awakened to their destructive patterns. We may see the FDA in the news, as new medicinal drugs will emerge, and perhaps new insights into drugs that were previously thought to be safe. Fashion and style may take on more dreamlike, ethereal qualities. We may see water in the forefront - adequate water supply issues, floods, droughts, water pollution, etc.

Dreams and illusions are likely to be shattered wherever it is that we need to wake up. Because Uranus carries group consciousness, some may be drawn to groups with like-minded ideals. Those who followed Hitler during the last Uranus in Pisces transit absorbed his dark consciousness in pursuit of an abysmally misguided ideal. As always, discernment is vital. Note through which house in your chart Uranus in Pisces will be traveling. Where will you gain freedom from illusions? Where will your imagination be awakened? Where will you gain intelligent, insightful inspiration and spiritual wisdom? Where will you learn greater compassion.
