The Year 2004 for Pisces
(Written December 2003)

The Big Picture
Renewing yourself on many levels is essential as Uranus, the planet of accelerated individuation enters Pisces for the next seven years. Each of us are born unique and Uranus displays this 'difference'. Compromise for security's sake, or what 'they think' loses relevance as you realise that you must do this for yourself. Initially such energy is affecting the February born who may change their life in radical ways. Underpinning it all is the need to be true to oneself, to reclaim living in the moment. Support, perhaps surprisingly, comes through partnerships and one on one contact. Plus a lot of things that you've wanted to do, but repressed for whatever reasons, you now have the opportunity of achieving. The general feel will be that the 'force' is with you. Many March born Pisceans will elect to get married, or start a family under these influences. Money is steady, improving as the year progresses, and work can provide some big changes for those born February 19 to 25th, or March 8 to 12th.

Romance and Relationships
An area of real bounty for you. Partners tend to be more supportive than not. People you meet act as teachers whether they are conscious of it or not. Travel may play a part in partnership arrangements, or you could well find yourself jetting off at sometime during the year. Perhaps your partner has overseas links. Romances are likely to deepen as you take a more serious and practical outlook to partnerships. As a result of this casual relationships may become legal and binding. There even may be some legal issues to be dealt with. Look beyond the immediate outcomes, as it's likely there's a lesson underfoot here as well. Where it involves others you do seem to have a favourable outcome providing excess, and excessive behaviour is curtailed.

Career and Finance
Anyone born between the 7th and 12th of March could experience a restructure of the job role or consider key changes to their public persona. In some cases this can involve a promotion to a position promising greater authority and power. Dependant upon the age factor some older Pisceans may elect to pull the plug on their current position or retrain for something radically different than before. In the main we are talking those born up to March 12 here. Overall there is a tendency to become greater involved with the public. Anyone working in sales, teaching, law or media should benefit through these star patterns. Financially this is also a productive year. Investments look sure and steady and while you may not set the world on fire overnight the long term nest eggs should continue positive growth patterns. The last quarter should be your windfall time.

Self Improvement
Those closest to you seem to be your greatest teachers. Through partnership you learn, and not just by the sharing and caring, but the interplay of value systems. It's one of those times when they have what you want. Luckily they're quite willing to share. Take on board the opinions of those around you. Admittedly living through the eyes of another can never replace individual experience and nor it should. The old saying, 'if you see Buddha on the road - kill him' encourages being your own guru. But for now - engage him (or her) in dialogue, as you have something to learn.
