Uranus in Pisces - Enter the Imaginarium
by Jeanne Mozier
Predicting the cultural and political future using astrological patterns is lways chancy, because there are so many factors involved in the destiny of nations, humanity, and the Earth.
The task is more certain, however, when the planet involved is Uranus. The energy streams encoded by the movements of Uranus are predictable in their unpredictability, routine in their eccentricity, and commonplace in their uniqueness. The effect of Uranus is always and reliably revolutionary. It does, after all, embody the Law of Unexpected Outcomes. Since Uranus transits a sign for seven years, there is plenty of time for sign-specific Uranian attributes to take hold and influence civilization.
Uranus is particularly useful as a hallmark of all that is new and wildly different during a given period. Uranus in Capricorn saw the collapse of communism - a true revolution in world politics that affected much more than the nations embracing that philosophy. For seven years, structures of all sorts were overthrown so that new forces could emerge. Then came Uranus in Aquarius in 1996, and the technology revolution turned the world upside down.
In March 2003, when Uranus begins its seven-year journey through Pisces, we will enter a time when the deepest, most sacred aspects of human life will be impacted by the forces of unrelenting and dramatic change. What will be the essence of the age, as we look at it from 2010 when it draws to a close? A Spiritual Revolution? The dawn of limitless imagination? Will the time be marked by rising oceans or a rising tide of psychic sensitivity, or both? Will it be the Apocalypse, in its commonplace meaning of end times or in its authentic translation from the Greek as the lifting of the veil that separates the real from the unreal? Will it be known as the time when implanting a psychic chip in the human brain became the global fashion - and changed the evolution of the species forever? Will there be contact with the Divine, or simply with alien consciousness or your long-dead great aunt Tillie?
My research shows the potential for all of the above - and more. Pisces is without boundaries; as the last of the signs, it contains all within itself. And Uranus by its very nature demands that we expect the unexpected.
Uranus is not the only ingredient in the planetary stew; Pluto in Sagittarius and Neptune in Aquarius also have contributions to make to the trends and patterns of the time. With Neptune and Uranus in mutual reception,1 we can expect a continued emphasis on technology at the same time that the mystical, spiritual essence of Pisces is intensified. Mystics with modems will be the order of the day. God.com will be a much consulted Web address. Technology may be developed to pick up psychic impressions or to monitor dreams (or make them lucid). "Virtual reality" fantasy worlds become the customary habitat of millions - on or off the Internet. We are in the final decan (the last ten degrees) of the transit of Pluto through Sagittarius, which means that the transformation of values, ideals, and religious impulse encoded by that passage is entering its concluding phase.
The textbook explanation of Uranus in Pisces is surely the eruption of psyche, and it will cause a revolution completely unlike those imagined by war-game planners. Dreams, fantasies, imagination, poetry, and music rule. Separateness disappears as we recognize that we are all afloat in the same psychic ocean.
The revolutionary effects of increased receptiveness will alter areas as diverse as social services and animal rights. With millions able to communicate with dolphins and dogs and especially cows and chickens we can expect a broadening of philosophy-based vegetarianism: Who can eat a creature when you can hear its thoughts? Great segments of the population across the planet will lobby for increased and stricter punishment of those practicing cruelty to animals.
Instant messaging and wireless communication will morph into instant messaging through telepathic connection - and most people will be unaware that a giant step in an unimagined direction has occurred. No longer will people explain away the dreams they have where they are downlaoding information in their sleep as caused by too much time spent in front of their computers; it will become an accepted method for gathering data.
We need to understand how important technology will continue to be, even as the seemingly unreal is increasingly recognized as reality. Uranus and Neptune trade places: Each is in the sign ruled by the other. Visits to the creative unconscious, the dreamscape, or the afterlife are going to occur through techie links and designer drugs. The results will range from a refreshed spirit, a connection with feelings, psychic development, and intuition - to escape and addiction. Invest now in virtual reality parlors; they will make their way from the pages of science fiction to the suburban mall. Rehab spas are another good investment; detox will become a way of life for vast portions of the population.
In the field of health care, we can expect dramatic shifts, especially in diagnosis, as the role of the etheric patterns in the body is understood and manipulated and as aura scanning takes its rightful place as a handy diagnostic tool. By the end of the Uranus-in-Pisces transit, we may be so far over the edge as to market auras as a fashion accessory and make viewing them an essential part of the dating game.
The threats are as great and unpredictable as the energy itself. With Uranus introducing alternate realities as part of its daily routine, we must be wary of hasty interpretations that brand such sensitivity as madness or insanity, subject to medication and treatment. There is a grave danger that psychiatry or psychotropic drugs will extinguish the revolutionary upsurge in psychic experience. As the veil gets thinner and is rent in places, invisible forces come closer. Who will be able to say with certainty what is saintly and what is mad?
People who are unprepared for the dramatic increase in psychic sensitivity, or who have been taught to brand all such insights as demonic possession, will experience great confusion. Pandemics of psychic disturbances will wash over the globe, fueled as much by the instinctive fear of a different way of being as by the actual increase in skills such as clairvoyance and telepathy. Sanity will hinge on the ability of individuals to develop a certain level of detachment, so that they are not continually swept away by tsunamis of emotions and impressions.
For people who have been exercising their psychic muscles for decades, this is the time when all that training pays off. Those who enter the psychic arcade without any training or understanding may become burned-out shells. Preparation is essential to protect the user of non-physical energy from falling victim to the negative impressions, astral forces, and despair that drive some to oblivion. People who have been searching for this psychic energy for years will not be freaked out by the intensification of it; they have the sunglasses they need to prevent them from being blinded by the light of the Divine.
In the esoteric scheme of the universe, as outlined in Alice Bailey's various books, the eruption of psyche described above would occur on the etheric level. The testing, quickening, and polishing of the soul that concludes in Pisces during any cycle still remains linked to the human level. It is spirit that Bailey attributes to the Divine.2 In Pisces, we find the living waters of spirit ready to connect with the human soul.
The soul's realization of its proximity to spirit lends Pisces its typical yearning to finally be free of the earthly plane and to merge with the Divine. When the connection is complete and humanity experiences an inflow of spirit, then joy sweeps all before it, including despair and disillusionment. This connection that draws spirit down, then sends it forth into the world through the vehicle of the soul, is defined in the Law of Spiritual Approach, as set forth by the Bailey-based Meditation Group for the New Age.3 I have always imagined this law as a 90-degree angle, with spirit flowing into soul on the vertical and being sent out on the horizontal.
The revolutionary Uranian truth is that Divine contact has no need for intermediaries. In fact, what many argue is the greatest proof of Divine contact in this world - the birth of Jesus Christ - took place during an earlier transit of Uranus through Pisces. In this day of gargantuan Christian bureaucracies masquerading as spiritual institutions, we forget how revolutionary Jesus was - how he overturned the notion of priesthood and their institutional religious practice. Divine contact, as encoded by Uranus in Pisces, promises to tear down the veil and reveal inner truths. Odds are that those truths can't be found in any traditional church canon. During this passage of Uranus through Pisces, spirit is freeing itself from the bondage of rigid beliefs. A mass rejection of traditional religion is brewing; the current turmoil in the venerable Roman Catholic Church is only the foreshadowing. Pluto in Sagittarius has been warning the world for several years that the Titanic of established religion is about to sink; Uranus is the iceberg.
The universal connection through spirit brings hope for those who live in terror of one-world political structures and their capacity to eradicate cultural diversity. Global soul may trump global government, and sensitive beings may find themselves in the vanguard of a one-world movement based on unity of spiritual purpose.
As with the eruption of psyche, there is a serious danger inherent in the crumbling of traditional religions. The boundaries that they establish for human behavior will also dissolve and disappear. People with a clear and personal spiritual path - those who have worked toward the direct connection with God that religions are supposed to provide - need not be afraid. For others, there will be nowhere to turn. Those who get lost in the fog will need the support and guidance of those whose spiritual training allows them to model the answer. And what is the answer? It is Uranus in Pisces in mutual reception with Neptune in Aquarius; it is spiritual science, the path of Light.
Analysis of the intrinsic nature of both planet and zodiacal sign is a reliable process for predicting trends, but examination of what occurred in previous periods of a particular transit lends texture and color to the ideas. The mass rejection of traditional religion, and its replacement with science, caused one of the most sweeping historical revolutions - a revoltuion that occurred during a previous period when Uranus transited Pisces as Pluto moved through Sagittarius: 1752-1760. For many historians, that period marks the beginning of our modern age. Astrologically, it is the last time that these two planets were in placements that match the upcoming period.
This revolution was centered in France where, in 1748, Baron de Montesquieu published his lifework, The Spirit of the Laws.4 This book's postulation that mechanical forces, rather than Divine order, ruled human actions reflected the global shift in the Western world from God-centered to human-centered. Divine Right as interpreted by King and Church was banished by human reason; this was the beginning of the scientific method. Population shifted from country to city, society became increasingly secularized, and ancient superstitions were swept away in the light of reason.
As this cycle ends and begins again, we find the world in a stranglehold of materialistic, bottom-line motivation. Science is focused almost equally on making weapons of mass destruction and creating life without spirit as in cloning. Pluto in Sagittarius reminds us that this issue is an ethical one. Uranus in Pisces promises flashes of lightning illuminating a spiritual path through fog and confusion. The enhancement of intuition and unity of spiritual purpose may welcome the Divine back into political life in a far better way than terrorists and extremists of all stripes who claim God as their justification do today.
The broad-stroke expectations of intensification and revolutionary change in both the psychic and spiritual realms may dominate the period of Uranus transiting Pisces, but other mundane trends can also be predicted. In the area of jobs, we can expect openings for personal spiritual trainers as well as soothers and healers of overwrought psyches. The most valued leaders will be those who can connect with the universal pattern; we can only pray that they are spiritually attuned, not manipulators of collective consciousness. Martyrs will abound as will those who talk to the dead. The afterlife will gain in popularity during this transit; with the continued predominance of technology, we can be almost certain that software makers will attempt to compete with television psychics in the field of afterlife communication.
Physical and psychological health will be affected. Podiatrists can anticipate a greater concern about feet, and reflexology may become part of their therapeutic repertory. The lymphatic system, as the physical counterpart of the etheric web, will come under great study; many diseases and their care will be linked to adjusting the lymphatic fluids.
Cloning comes of age as the Uranus-Neptune pairing virtually guarantees the realization that life requires an integration of spirit and body. Uranus in Pisces is clearly the lightning bolt into the primordial ocean that sparks life.
Alcohol and drug use will increase and become a form of bondage, as sensitive people seek withdrawal and escape. The most recent transit of Uranus through Pisces in the 1920s resulted in Prohibition, so we can anticipate another crusade against alcohol like the one currently aimed at tobacco. The lessons of the past cannot be avoided, however: Society must recollect the cost of Prohibition - the growth of a shadow culture of organized crime.
Overwrought romanticism and suffering heroines may become the trend in Hollywood along with fairies and sprites. One thing is certain -- this period will not herald the return of the cowboy.
Astrology is often quite literal in its effects; we can expect a rising of oceans that will drown seacoasts in water, not in spirit. Water and all the places it is kept will face disruption and upheaval. The imperative for potable water will drive commercial and political wars in ways currently focused on oil. Another good investment: buy into water companies.
Astonished and unprepared masses. Fear, confusion, madness, visions, and voices. The unseen leaking through porous boundaries into the tangible world. All the Piscean attributes have the capacity to be dangerous, and they will require steady guidance to prevent them from becoming a deluge of problems. As always, the answers are found in the same place as the questions: How to prevent rampaging fear? What to do with the information garnered through visions and unseen voices, and myriad more issues to be faced.
The Piscean attraction to the spiritual path is one way of handling these potential crises. Another path is found in the most significant characteristic of Pisces, especially during the first three years of the Uranian period when Saturn is transiting Cancer: Love - compassionate, merging, transcendent, unconditional love, based on feeling the universal connection. This is the only ointment that can heal the wounds inflicted on the hypersensitive. It is the secret heart of these next seven years, as expressed in the words of the Great Invocation: "Let love stream forth into the hearts of men."
Post the number of your favorite "love doctor" on the refrigerator; he or she will become the most sought-after practitioner during this sojourn in a Piscean time.
YOU'LL KNOW THEM BY THEIR SIGNS
by Jeanne Mozier
At the first PHASE conclave held by Project Hindsight in Berkeley Springs in the early 1990s, I had the rare opportunity to be sitting around in my favorite cafe -- Tari's -- with a group of other astrologers. I decided to take a poll and asked each one to describe in a singular way how they thought of themselves astrologically. I was surprised by the answers. Nearly every person defined themselves in planetary terms -- either as a dominant planet ("I'm a Mars person") or a planetary aspect ("it's all about my Neptune/Sun conjunction.") I was virtually the only one who thought of myself in terms of my sign. "I'm an Aries." And I'm such an Aries it's hard to imagine myself in any other way.
For nearly 30 years of astrological study, the signs of the zodiac have always seemed to me to be the most revelatory part of personal astrology. In his most recent brilliant exposition of the emerging secrets of Hellenistic Greek astrology, Robert Schmidt explained how the Greeks did not delineate the planets in each sign the way modern astrology does. However, they did understand that sign placement modified the expression of the planet in that sign. That means that the type of "Mars person" you are depends on the sign in which Mars finds itself.
The Greeks appear to have understood the signs as literal divisions of the cosmic map, postulating that a planetary being would behave differently depending on whether it was in a familiar domicile (ie. Mars in Aries) or an unfamiliar one where the planet was uncomfortable or disfunctional (ie. Mars in Pisces.)
There is lots more in Schmidt's explanation of the Hellenistic approach to the signs but this was enough to reassure me that exploring personal astrology through the signs of the zodiac was a beneficial path.
A full exploration of the domicile furnishings of each of the twelve signs fills countless pages of hundreds of books. What I offer here is a single tidbit or insight for each that I've stumbled on over the decades. For further study, I always recommend two books to my students: Dane Rudhyar's "Pulse of Life" with its helpful examination of the seasonal amounts of light and dark in each sign; and Alice Bailey's "Labours of Hercules" which offers marvelous examples of the esoteric task for each sign. Both of these books, as well as doing Full Moon meditation work, provide what I consider the single most important reality for comprehending the zodiac: the fact that the twelve are developmental, each deriving meaning from its unique place in the inalterable order of the signs. They mark the cycle of the soul.
For Aries, the critical point of understanding is its compulsion to keep from being sucked back into the cosmic unity of Pisces. It's the job of the soul in Aries to define itself as an individual. Hercules behaves in typical Arien fashion in his first labor -- he starts the job, leaves it for someone else to finish and his friend ends up dead.
Taurus lives for me in the fact that within its literal star pattern lies the hidden Pleides and the secret of Divine purpose -- to infuse matter with spirit. Taurus explains desire and its prime role in attracting spirit to matter. It's not love that makes the world go Oround, it's the glue of desire. Taurean materialism is a spiritual quest -- how to find the Divine in cash and real estate.
Geminis are interested in everything but have the attention span of a fruit fly. They are devoted to keeping the energy moving so they never stop talking. Content is far less important than the very act of saying it. To some, that quality seems like lying when in fact, it's just the Gemini way of hearing how something sounds, trying it out.
The task I assign all Cancers is to enlarge their circle, their tribal boundary. I tell them that for a Cancer, everyone inside their circle is family and owed the ultimate loyalty. Everyone outside may as well live on another planet. The growth step is to make their circle the circumference of the globe. Since Cancers will never be among the first intergalactic travelers, I can wait a few lifetimes before having to expand my image.
When I understood the connection between Leos and drama, it was very helpful in advising interpersonal disputes. For a Leo, life needs drama and if it doesn1t come naturally, they'll create it. The other Leo insight is that respect fuels their world. Treat them with disrespect and you are banished from the kingdom forever.
The Virgo insight I like best is that they truly grasp how to move matter through time. They understand bits of time and know what a second means. Virgo as the priestess in charge of the detailed rituals of life -- the ones that must be done exactly correct, in exactly the right order and at exactly the right time -- pinpoints the inner truth of the sign.
The fleshing out of Libra's relationship to the issue of balance brought some insights that proved very valuable to those "living" in the domicile of Libra. Balance is not about being in the middle but about finding the midpoint between two extremes. It is a dynamic spot. Libras often find themselves positioned in a relationship at the opposite point so as to induce a place of balance in the middle. The result, however, is that they are out on a limb.
Scorpio is a treasure chest of meaning and the esoteric material provides the best insights. Alice Bailey's "Esoteric Astrology" brands Scorpio as the battlefield between good and evil. Hercules' Scorpio labor outlines the battle plan: don1t cut off the monster's head because two more pop up. Instead, find the strength, sink into the muck and lift the monster into the light where it shrivels and dies.
For Sagittarius, I like to meditate on the glyph of the arrow and the notions of direction, purpose and distant connections. I particularly encourage using Sagittarian times as ones made for quests. The other guarantee for Sagittarius energy is the element of luck. Depend on it.
The esoteric threads are critical in a deeper understanding of Capricorn and can be seen in the visualization and seed thought of the Full Moon material for this sign. The soul struggles to climb the mountain of evolution and life, and when it reaches the top and gazes upon the Light, it realizes that to serve truly, it must turn its back and return to the fray below. Sun gods through history have been born in Capricorn.
Aquarius brings us back to Hercules again. In the Aquarian labor, Hercules solves an intractable problem with a flash of clever intution and then doesn't get his promised reward; in fact, he doesn1t even get thanked. Best of all, the labor is clearing away the accumulated filth of centuries -- every Aquarian's fantasy.
Like Aries at the beginning, Pisces is best understood by its position as the end. Yet, what most Pisceans need to know to survive this harsh and cruel world, is that they wear their nerve endings on the outside of their skin. Escape is an almost essential pattern for survival.
The expression of astrology's power comes as much in the fortune cookie approach of a single gem of wisdom as in the detailed studying of its endless depth.
December is taken up with that great American pasttime -- shopping. For many, shopping is fraught with challenge and mystery. Finding the perfect gift ranks with scaling the Alps for degree of difficulty. Help is at hand -- an infallible gift manual keyed to the astrological signs. Check for the sign placement of the Sun and/or Venus to find a gift idea. The Sun represents the core energy of the individual. Sun-directed gifts appeal to who a person is. Venus, on the other hand, speaks to the desire nature, what the person wants; what "turns them on." Choose those Venus-keyed gifts carefully; they are seductive. Whether you buy for the Sun or Venus, you can be a gift-buying star for less money and time than you ever imagined! Just follow the signs, and this December -- wait until after the 10th to buy gifts that you do not want to be returned.
ARIES
Impulsive and enthusiastic, the ever-youthful
Aries will rip open their gift first, gush their adoration of it then move on
to the rest of their gift pile. And there better be more.
Those with Aries energy are adventurers, active and seldom domestic. If a gift for their home is required, try knives, strings of hot peppers, or do-it-almost-itself housewares. Red glassware is another sure thing; no Aries can ever have enough, especially at the rate they break them. For the ultimate gift, arrange for immortal fame -- their name on a plaque in a public place is more satisfying to those with Aries energy than a wallet full of cash.
TAURUS
Although the favorite Taurus gifts are real estate
or cash, there are possibilities for those on a limited budget. Taurus taste
is conservative and sensual with an inclination to luxury. Fine leather, beautiful
fresh flowers, and rich rugs will always win thanks from those born under this
Venus-ruled sign. Mirrors, wallets or grandmother1s tablecloth are excellent
choices as are bath oils, lotions and perfumes.
Nature, gardening and entertaining at their comfortable homes are Taurus interests that provide abundant gift-giving opportunities. Tickets to the symphony or the opera are ideal, especially if matched with an antique necklace of lasting value. A quality gift is never wasted on one with Taurus energy. They have an excellent memory and will never forget what you gave them.
GEMINI
Light and playful, Geminis seldom hold a thought
for more than a brief flash. Boredom is their worst nightmare. Games and handcrafts
challenge their versatility; and they want books that are short and easy to
browse. Manicures, gloves or an overnight bag are suitable gifts for those with
Gemini energy. Don't worry about getting them something they already have --
Geminis like having two.
Inveterate social butterflies, Geminis would be delighted by two tickets to anything. Pre-paid phone cards and cellular phones are high on the list of talkative Geminis. To really thrill a Gemini send them on a scavenger hunt with at least two gifts to find.
CANCER
Devoted to the "good old days," the Cancer-energy
person is a passionate collector, especially of antiques. Learn what they collect
and you'll have gift ideas for life.
They cherish personal, intimate gifts, especially those with sentimental value. Cancers love to feed their families and friends making cooking tools and dining items, especially heirloom silver and china, favorite gifts. If your budget is small, look for patriotic trinkets, cloisonne or family photographs. No individual with Cancer energy ever has enough boxes, bags or containers. You will be a hero if you intuit that the Cancer's dream gift is a home or boat.
LEO
Don't ever approach a Leo female without a gift
in hand. If you wrap it in an extravagant gesture, the gift need not be expensive.
However, if it glitters, it better be gold.
Dramatic, with movie star tastes, your special Leo's fantasies can be satisfied by staging an event or hiring a limo. Jewelry is always a good choice for those with Leo energy, especially gold and amber. Leos love to entertain and show off their castles -- so fine wines and party supplies are always welcome. And remember -- no disrespectful gifts if you want to please the king-like Leo.
VIRGO
A useful gift bought at bargain prices will thrill
the practical Virgo. But no defective seconds allowed. Virgos are particular
so make certain it's a perfect bargain. The children of this sign are happy
to find socks and shirts in their holiday packages; adults appreciate conservative,
tailored clothes.
Creatures of habit and routines, the daily life of a Virgo is a ritual and they cherish organizing tools like day timers and bookcases. Health and cleanliness are important putting bath items, vitamins, a first-aid kit and diet books on their must-have list. Virgos also have long lists of what not to give them ranging from flashy clothes to anything that makes a mess.
LIBRA
Dedicated to domestic peace and harmony, Librans
will love whatever you get them -- whether they do or not. They are far too
charming to hurt anyone's feelings. Rose-colored glasses that match their view
of the world are an ideal choice.
Beauty rules in this sign of Venus making the Libra home an oasis of refined taste. Nothing vulgar or harsh will do. Art, mirrors and white marble can be added to music and poetry books as Venus selections. For the ideal gift, send your favorite Libra off for a day of beauty treatments or a fashion shopping spree. Make it even more perfect by going along and helping them make choices -- always a challenge for the fair-minded Libra.
SCORPIO
Scorpios like to be mysterious -- and they love
to investigate. Challenge them to find well-hidden gifts as an added spice to
whatever you chose. Or give the gift in secret. Those with Scorpio energy thrive
on secrets.
Passionate and intense, Scorpios are drawn to magic and ancient mysteries. Select chemistry sets for earnest young Scorpios, murder mysteries and horror stories for all ages. They are suspicious so don't hand them anything wrapped that ticks. Scorpios are the sexiest men and women of the zodiac. Exotic perfumes, satin sheets and lingerie will delight their sensual tastes. Be careful with those intimate gifts however, you don't want to show how well you know them. Remember, those with Scorpio energy like to be mysterious.
SAGITTARIUS
Sagittarians are players. There's no better gift
for them than a pack of lottery tickets unless it's a day at the track.
Fun and freedom are important values; sports often a passion. Those with Sagittarian energy love physical activity and can always use new snowboards or rollerblades. College paraphrenalia is a hit even when it's not the Sagittarian's alma mater. All imported goods are attractive; and travel a part of their routine. For that special Sagittarian in your life, send them on an adventure or get the library a new philosophy book in their name.
CAPRICORN
Designer labels and prestige gifts will tickle
the fancy of even the stiffest Capricorn. They are not sentimental and are very
interested in material security. No funny cards for most Capricorns, but formal
stationery would be an ideal choice.
Basically frugal, those with Capricorn energy
appreciate high quality gifts -- as long as it’s not their money being
spent. Getting ahead in their career is a major concern so business-related
gifts are appreciated.
Pocket watches and grandfather clocks serve their
obsession with time and their love of tradition. If clothes are on their gift
list, make certain they are conventional, not bizarre, fashion statements although
suspenders are fine. Onyx, crystals and mosaics are materials that please Capricorns.
AQUARIUS
Aquarian energy is unconventional, original and
ultra-modern. Antiques never make the gift list of Aquarians; computerized mechanisms
do. Unemotional but friendly, they are often involved in group projects. Their
legions of acquaintances make address books and rolodexes ideal gift choices.
Electronics or the equipment needed for their
unusual pasttimes like aviation and astrology are always appreciated. Aquarians
are curious and have the makings of great inventors. The future is their favorite
time.
With their taste for the bizarre, Aquarians of
all ages are delighted with gifts of tie-dyed clothes, socially relevant posters
and neon art. PISCES
Be careful with your gift choice for those with
soft and sensitive Pisces energy; they often let other people define them. They
tend to be indiscriminate and accepting of everything. What the gift is matters
far less than that you thought to give them one.
Pisces are creative and often involved in the
arts -- theater, video, music. Ballet shoes, sheet music or theater tickets
will please an artistic Pisces.
The ultimate water baby, they are enchanted with
aquariums and all the supporting apparatus. Or bring them a puppy ot kitten,
preferably one with a hard-luck story as a pedigree. Mystical and vague, Pisces
views time as a flow. Gifts that organize are useless; try a maid or secretarial
service instead.
SHOPPING WITH THE STARS
by Jeanne Mozier
