| You are adaptable and just like the fish that comprise your symbol, you’re known for your ability to go with the flow. Nonetheless with the planet Uranus in your sign now for several years, the speed and frequency with which the currents of the ocean have altered has grown quite exhausting even for you. One minute you are heading one way and think you can see where you’re going, the next something new comes along and it all looks quite different. These trends continue during your year ahead and you’d be wise anticipating more of the same. Uranus is variously hard or impossible to see without a telescope and was discovered by William Herschel in 1781. Astronomers noted it in 1690 but didn’t realise its significance then. Its discovery upset an elegant system of astrological rulerships transcribed in the second century and heralded the beginnings of today’s modern astrology. It gave humanity its first real look at the chaotic immensity of space, that does not fit conveniently with human ideas of order and predictability. Even today many astrologers don’t include Uranus in their calculations, while somehow not seeing the anomaly of being immersed in software packages on their computers, when both are represented symbolically by this planet. It is hard to understand what’s happening in your life this year, without some idea of what Uranus can do. |

| Uranus means change and it circuits the zodiac in just over 84 years. Its orbit is relatively regular, so it spends around seven years in turn in each zodiac sign . It entered yours early in 2003 and won’t leave finally until early 2011. Thinking back to the first date and about everything that’s altered over the past few years, you’ll get a good idea of what to anticipate during those remaining. Predicting the exact effects of this planet is impossible though, it rules the unexpected and once a particular event is anticipated, it no longer fits this description. Uranus represents the least probable thing you never thought about and whatever you didn’t believe was likely to happen, if that makes any sense. Again, remember all that’s taken place. Would you have thought it back then? Almost definitely not… The true impact of Uranus though is not negative, where luck and good fortune are concerned. It can bring you unexpected lucky breaks, as well as upsetting and disruptive ones. It is the planet of the individual and the natural planet of Aquarius, so there’s a lot you can do to minimise the bad side and to encourage its better manifestations. Consider how much a particular activity reflects you as a person, complements who you’d ideally want to be, moves your life forward and makes you feel good about yourself. Anything that does not fit these criteria, for example something you do because that’s what you’ve always done, or that you continue out of a sense of obligation or duty, because you feel it’s unimaginable not doing it or because you’re scared of jeopardising your security, won’t go with this at all. It’s in circumstances like these you’ll see this planet’s more difficult side, again not a bad one, because in the end one way or another you will have greater freedom. But the more entrenched the resistance the greater the force needed to liberate you, when you should know that anything stale and dead is on its way out, no matter how you feel personally. |

| This certainly applies at work, and if you’re life’s work is outside of formal employment, then it will implicate that too. Work isn’t everything and while your ambitions and objectives have been an important feature up until now, they were always supposed to be a means to an end and not the primary objective in themselves. They were meant to mean a better life and more freedom of self-expression, just like Uranus does. Wherever this is not the case so far, your astrological year 2008/9 marks the start of a change for the better and a movement towards what is more right for you. Don’t be afraid to embrace broader horizons and to anticipate big transformations over the next few years. Also hit will be your personal life, because as you go into this, this is the most troublesome situation you’re facing. As your year begins a best case scenario is that home and family matters have been keeping you very busy. Although the worst of this is now nearly over, it’s an influence that will continue one way or another up until July. More problematic are your closest relationships, maybe at work or with competitors, but probably on an intimate level, because again there have been a number of issues. Most positively, you and those closest to you will work through these steadily together, but in other cases, your contacts are actually retarding your progress and holding you back, while Mars shows trouble and discord on the home front. Matters flare again especially from August onwards and although initially you may not be entirely sure of what you should do, this doesn’t mean that over the coming year you won’t start developing a pretty good idea… |
