: pisces - your year in the stars :
Prior to the discovery of Neptune in 1846, Jupiter was considered your ruling planet, harking back to an elegant scheme of planetary associations described by Ptolemy during the second century. However, considering Neptune’s position as the Roman god of the sea, though you’ll still come across some reference to Jupiter’s former glory in the context of your constellation, it is widely accepted nowadays that Neptune is your real ruler. This means it is the planet having most in common with the fundamentals of your sign, in terms of traits and characteristics these features share. Thus with Neptune in your region of the heavens, where it stays for the next fourteen years, you’re entering a formative period during which the stars align in such a manner, as to prove specially significant for your development and growth.

Neptune is far distant and lies on average more than thirty times further from the Sun than we do. This makes its orbit lengthy and protracted, so you cannot expect to notice the full force of its impact immediately. Besides in any case, Neptune doesn’t really work that way, since the subtle and almost subliminal nature of its onset, belies the power and irresistible insistence of its effects. Imagine constantly dripping water that in itself seems innocuous, but given long enough will eventually wear a hole through even the hardest substrate. Or consider the forces behind a tidal surge, as it steadily overwhelms anything foolish enough to attempt standing in its path. Luckily, the effects of Neptune are not negative. Though there is always a downside to counteract positive portents, it is no different from what applies with almost any other planet.
Any troublesome outcomes can be minimised by understanding how Neptune functions, then promoting attitudes and activities that encourage its more favourable connotations, always remembering the lengthy timescale on which your efforts need to be sustained. You have already enjoyed a taster between April and August 2011, when Neptune visited your sign briefly before ducking back into the preceding constellation. Prior to this, there is no easy comparison, since at 165 years to circuit the entire zodiac, the last time this body showed in your part of the sky was during the American Civil War…

Then again, born under the sign of the Fishes, you have the added advantage that much of what goes for Neptune, also fits perfectly with your personality and helps to complement your strengths. Your creativity for example is heightened, so if you’re involved with any activities that rely on the tangible products of your imagination, you can look forward to producing some of your best work. Creative writing is one example, poetry or songwriting are others while art, music and dance if they appeal to you under normal circumstances are recommended, since they will help you express the ethereal nuances of your finer feelings, while communicating in a way that goes beyond the limitations of a structured and rational vocabulary.

Acting and the movies are both ruled by Neptune, so are fashion, graphics and design, the countryside and water. If any of these feature in your life currently, either as spare-time interests or career options, then promote your involvement actively. If you have ever felt like taking up a creative hobby, there probably never was a more opportune moment. Simultaneously, you’re becoming attuned to the mysterious signs and symbols that exist around about us in nature and within normal human behaviour, but that go unnoticed usually. You could say your sixth sense hits overdrive, yet this isn’t something on which to base important decisions, initially at least.
: pisces - february 2012/february 2013 :
The flood of half-formed impressions needs a little time for you to filter through them, to work out what is reliable and what perhaps might seem too good to be true. Nevertheless, do listen to your dreams. Although important financial decisions require a more definite foundation before you start building on them, don’t hesitate to avoid those people or places you have a curiously unsettled feeling over, regardless. In the meantime, your sensitivity enables you to empathise with those less fortunate than yourself, as you discover you are drawn to charitable pursuits, helping other living beings who find themselves in difficulties one way or the next. This same openness sees you spending more time close to the safe surroundings of your home, with community involvements highlighted up until June and family connections thereafter.

This year you will be noticing a need for comfort and the security of a solid base, because of relationship traumas that have already occurred but also, due to a desire for the company of kind and optimistic people, who want what is best for you and aren’t likely to relish messing with your psyche for no reason. Throughout this year and those coming it is important to steer clear of harmful influences, the company of difficult or demanding people, and escapist trends featuring alcohol, drugs or wishful thinking. Keep your fins at ground level and give people time to prove themselves, while you figure out who you are now. Those born during February feel it most, but March babies cannot prepare too soon.
