2003 sees the dynamic, brilliant and magnetic Uranus enter your sign. Up to now, there has been a sense of something working in the background, digging and prying, waiting to come bursting to the surface. Now everything comes out into the open. Possibly scary for the reticent Pisces, this transit by Uranus gives you the chance to look for greater freedom in your life, to find a new self-image, and to undertake a major change in your life. Because of the changes that Uranus brings to your own awareness and outlook, this is a time when your life will take a real step forward. Although you may have to give up something that gives you security, the changes that you are making will bring even greater stability later. Remember to take two steps forward, you often have to take a step back first.

When the energetic Mars joins the party in June, you should find the will power to dig deep and make the most of your talents. Many of your goals become clear, although you will have to concentrate and remain focused. Mars turns to retrograde motion in the latter part of the year, which will give you time to take a step back and get your breath.

The benevolent Jupiter enters Virgo and has an immediate effect on relationships. This particular transit brings the chance of a new relationship that will be important to you. This is a good time for all sorts of dealings with the public. You will find that most disputes can be solved without too much trouble. Jupiter's move through your relationship house should bring a welcome time of co-operation and harmony with other people. Certainly existing relationships should see a time of development forwards. There is a danger of taking too much for granted during this period.

Your ruler, Neptune, remains in that private section of your chart where introspection, imagination and deep, deep thought are king. You still need your privacy and it is important with the other events in your chart this year that you find time for yourself.

Neptune's positive contact with Mars brings a time when you should trust your instincts and emotions. You will get few better times to use your imagination. Most of your actions will be going on behind the scenes during this period. Constructive action is very likely during the period of this aspect.

You may be rather dreamy and forgetful, lost in your own little world. This can be unfortunate, as it does tend to distract attention away from your kindness, sympathy and sensitivity to suffering. You are kind and charitable, but you may lack a bit of discretion in who you try to help. Consequently, you may be duped by those who take advantage of your good nature now. Tears are possible.

Your imagination is very active and you lead a rich and fascinating fantasy life. Your energy levels are not that high and you may appear to be a touch world-weary. Without romance, you feel restless and dissatisfied, probably without knowing why. There is an air of mystery about you. You prefer to work in secret. There is always a chance that someone is being treacherous, although you cannot say that you are always being honest either. Caution is required.
