2009 Horoscope Pisces

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) – 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius: 

2009: Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2009 Overview. In 2009, dear Pisces, you enjoy an increasing feeling of hope, optimism, and spiritual protection. Your intuition is heightened to possibly even uncanny levels. Struggles in your close personal relationships are likely to continue this year, but should be straightened out towards year end. In recent years, Pisces have become more independent in spirit. Pisces are known for their selflessness and acceptance, so your recent insistence on equality in your relationships has thrown a few people you know for a loop. The important people in your life will adjust and accommodate your new need for self-expression. Just try to avoid making unnecessary sweeping changes, and try to discern between rebellious behavior and fair behavior. For those born March 13-17, this is an all-new energy, although you have likely felt it “in the works” for some time. Partnerships continue to experience freedom versus responsibility issues, and some won’t survive the tension, particularly if they are holding you back from being yourself. For others, the partnership remains but is ideally much improved, accommodating your needs much better than it did before. For those born early in the sign (February 19-23), group work and friendships are very positive, empowering, and transforming for you in 2009. You are likely taking more creative risks this year in an effort to pursue dreams that suit your deepest needs. September 29-October 14 is an excellent period for romance. Love is pleasurable and exciting at once. Another short but exciting period for love occurs from April 18-22, when many of you will be enjoying a new or renewed romance.

2009 Details. Jupiter, the planet of abundance, graces your solar twelfth house this year. During this period, activities that take place “behind the scenes” or otherwise privately are especially beneficial. This is a cycle in which you become more compassionate, empathetic, and sensitive. Jupiter in the twelfth house is said to offer one spiritual protection. A deep faith that everything will work out is with you now. This is a time when you can rid yourself of self-destructive tendencies, deep-seated fears, and deeply-ingrained tendencies towards guilty feelings. Jupiter here does act much like a guardian angel. You are more able to get in touch with your subconscious mind. Charity, giving anonymously, volunteering, and helping others without expectation of reward will be most satisfying during this cycle. Work that involves serving others may begin now and bring you much joy. Your dreaming world is especially rich, lighter, helpful, and more intuitive. Meditation and retreats may be particularly beneficial to you now, acting to regenerate and invigorate you. You may pick up New Age studies, dream interpretation, or research during this cycle. Some people enter into a private romance during this cycle. In general, help seems to be there when you need it. You are building your faith now. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar first, from January 5 through June 14, and then from October 14 through December.

Saturn continues to transit your solar seventh house until the end of October. Saturn motivates us to do “spring cleaning” in the areas of life it touches. In your case, significant one-to-one relationships need to be considered and understood during this transit. This is a time when you need to define, understand, and crystallize your significant relationships with others. If you already have a partner, this is a time when any issues surrounding compromise, flexibility, and the ability to give your heart to your partner will surface. Initial frustration in the early stages of this transit this year may take the form of feeling criticized and “examined” in this area of life. By the end of the transit next year, however, you will have learned much about commitment and compromise. Those of you who are single are likely to feel the initial pressures of Saturn transiting the seventh house as well. A feeling of loneliness is possible in either situation (whether you have/had a significant partnership or not), but instead of an issue of re-committing, the single person will seriously think about commitment in general. If involved in a casual love relationship, when Saturn transits the seventh, a pressure emerges concerning the need for evaluating your commitments. Often this transit corresponds with an urge (or pressure) to make a commitment or a re-commitment. Healthy partnerships can be the outcome of this transit, whether they are new ones or strengthened existing partnerships. Saturn always brings with it a fair measure of reality and objectivity, so that whatever relationships you may have now or want to have will be defined and re-defined. Relationships are seen now as serious matters! Partners are no longer simply for amusement or mirrors of your ego. Responsibilities to partners, the need to compromise, and the realities of the needs of others, become clear. You are forced to begin seeing others as individuals, and to improve the manner in which you relate to and with others. Depending on your age and life circumstances, “significant partnerships” can mean partnerships with loved ones, business partnerships, and even deep friendships. By the end of this transit, quantity in the relationship department will have been replaced with quality, and this process involves time, soul-searching, frustration, and eventual fulfillment. The acute effects of this transit occur from January through August, after which it will be easier to see the positive side to Saturn’s influence.

Saturn transits your solar eighth house from the end of October. How do you handle power? Your desire nature? Intimate relationships? What kind of obsessions and addictions do you have? What are your deep-rooted compulsions? What are your unhealthy attachments? When Saturn transits our eighth house, you feel pressure to answer these questions. You are likely to be more sensitive to what seem like outer world pressures that force you to examine some of your deepest desires and attachments. These include your sexual relationships, your finances (especially with regards to debts and shared finances), and your need for control. Sometimes, Saturn transiting the eighth brings about sexual dysfunctions, whether we encounter these in ourselves or in our partners. You may face some difficulties satisfying your libido and/or encountering problems with intimacy. These pressures are “designed” to make you more aware of your desire nature, and what exactly it is you want. Dissatisfaction and frustrations getting what you want, especially with regard to relationships with others and with your resources, often characterize the first part of the transit. You may discover that previous methods of controlling your environment and the people in your life simply are not effective any more. You may not even be aware just how you have been employing power and control before this transit. Another realm over which the eighth house reigns is our mortality. With Saturn here, you become much more aware of your mortality. Saturn transiting the eighth house often brings with it a realization that we do not live forever. Of course, we know this as a fact at the back of our minds, but Saturn reminds us in no uncertain terms. Saturn’s presence here also urges you to organize your finances. On a psychological level, you face some of your fears that are of a compulsive nature—those fears that lead you to believe you need certain things in order to survive. Take a small example of a superstition. Perhaps you perform some kind of small ritual that you feel will help protect you or give you good luck. If you do it often enough, it becomes an addiction. You are afraid that if you don’t do this little ritual, you will set yourself up for bad luck. If you get rid of this superstition, you feel strong. It requires courage in order to do it, but it is empowering to do so. Something as simple as a superstition or ritual for good luck can undermine us. Why? Because we are giving away our power over ourselves to this compulsive behavior! We are denying that we have power over our own lives. The same is true of any form of compulsive behavior and addiction. We attempt to control our lives through these behaviors, but what we are really doing is letting the addictions control us. Towards the end of this transit in 2012, you will have eliminated some deep-seated habits and attachments that have been keeping you back from feeling emotionally free. You emerge healthier and stronger. When we give in to compulsive behaviors, we give up self-control, and guilt undermines our lives. We are not ourselves. By attempting to control others, we give away our own power over ourselves. By the end of this transit, you will feel considerably more emotionally healthy. You will have nixed some of your addictions, and mastered your superstitions. You will feel more powerful because you have given up attempting to control things you cannot or should not control, and you will have gained a feeling of self-mastery instead.

Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your twelfth house three times this year–May 27, July 10, and December 21. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. Because Neptune is your ruler, and Jupiter rules your career sector, you are likely to expand your career pursuits and business connections. Opportunities on the career front can come seemingly out of the blue, and sometimes come from past connections. A more hopeful feeling is with you this year. Your dreaming world is active in 2009. Spiritual teachers may come into your life. A feeling of spiritual protection is with you, and your faith in the “unseen” continues to grow.

The influences of Uranus and Neptune this year are similar to last year, and represent long-term trends. Uranus continues its journey through your first house this year. Because Uranus is beyond a conjunction to your Sun, its effects are less startling and more subtle than they are for Pisces born later in the Sun’s cycle. Changes in the image you project to others, and perhaps your personal style and appearance, continue to take place. You have been breaking free from the expectations of others in these areas. Your behavior tends to be more spontaneous, and perhaps a little rebellious. Freedom of personal expression is immensely important to you now, and if you turn a few heads or raise some eyebrows in the pursuit thereof, you don’t particularly worry about it! Neptune moves through your twelfth house this year–a pleasant placement for this mysterious and elusive planet. Because Neptune is your ruler, and because the twelfth house is a privacy sector, you have likely found much joy in a certain amount of solitude. Dreams have been rich and involved. You have been paying attention to synchronicities, signs, symbols, and omens in your life. This year, you continue to build your faith in all that is “unseen”.

Pluto travels through the first 3 degrees of Capricorn this year, affecting only a small portion of you. For those born February 19-22, and those with an Ascendant of 0-3 degree Pisces, Pluto sextiles your Sun in 2009, bringing some wonderful benefits to you. Subtle yet deep changes within you affects your relationships to others, as well as the manner in which you present yourself. Your integrity is strengthened through the course of this long-term transit. It’s a time to pursue the dreams, ideals, and ideas you have put on the back burner. Take creative risks, as well as personal ones, with your newfound confidence.

January’s Solar Eclipse falls in your twelfth house. In the first half of 2009, you are called upon to rid yourself of guilt about under-performing, and to develop faith and trust in a larger more spiritual plan. It’s time to let go of some of your fears that you are not doing enough, to develop more compassion and understanding of others, and to be humble, feeling safe in the knowledge that you (and others) are not perfect. It’s time to let go of some of your obsessions with rules, details, and fears of not doing things perfectly. February’s Lunar Eclipse falls in your sixth house. There could be changes necessary in your job or health routines. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you know you have to do in order to feel more balanced.

July’s Solar and Lunar Eclipses fall in your fifth and eleventh houses respectively. These eclipses  suggest that social activity is the focus. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. You will learn to let go of a fear of taking risks, and to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. You are called upon to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect, which detaches you from your feelings. This series of eclipses is about learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence.

The August Lunar Eclipse falls in your solar twelfth house, and you may recognize an overwhelming need for rest and spiritual renewal. You’ve been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It’s time to balance your life with some down time–otherwise, you simply don’t feel whole.

Your strongest financial periods in 2009 occur from February 3-17 and April 24-May 14. Watch for overspending especially from April 22-May 5, however. Also, the period from March 6-April 17, while Venus is retrograde, can mean some backtracking and review is necessary when it comes to your personal finances. Avoid making major financial decisions during this period.

For those of you born March 5-11, Saturn opposes your Sun until the first week of August, demanding that you take a good hard look at where you stand in your close personal relationships, and in terms of your life path.  Frustrations in your relationships with a significant other and with authority figures can arise now. You might find that your plans are opposed now–events seem to conspire in such a way that you must slow down. You could also find that people are not as sympathetic towards you than they are normally. It’s time to assess what is most important and worthwhile to you.

Saturn teaches us about the value of moderation and caution. Perhaps the best way to “handle” hard Saturn transits to your Sun is to avoid fighting these lessons. Accept that, at this time in your life, things may move at a slower speed (even a snail’s pace). Saturn wants us to work hard, put our energies into practical, useful, and meaningful projects, and to live in the here and now. This period in your life is a time for building a solid foundation. Understand that moderation at this point in your life is necessary for your spiritual growth and your physical body as well. Avoid blaming others for where you are at now–doing this will only lead to feelings of melancholy and anger. Know that this period in your life, while temporary, is a time for learning about your personal limits as well as your inner strength. Carry these lessons as you move beyond this phase, because how you handle your life now will make all the difference the next time (approximately 7 years from now) Saturn makes a hard aspect to your Sun.

Uranus is now officially past its transiting conjunction to your Sun, and the rebelliousness, surprises, and unstable circumstances that you encountered last year have been put to rest.

January’s Solar Eclipse falls in your eleventh house. In the first half of 2009, you will be learning about letting go of your attachment to the drama of romance and personal relationships, as well as your willfulness. You are called upon to learn about the value of the team. You may need to give freedom to your romantic partner instead of expecting him or her to follow a script of your own making. You learn the value of brotherly love and the benefits of a sense of belonging to a community. Events are such that you move towards a more objective approach to your life and you cultivate true friendships. February’s Lunar Eclipse falls in your sixth house. There could be changes necessary in your job or health routines. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines.

For Pisceans born March 13-17, and those who have a Pisces Ascendant of 22 to 27 degrees, Uranus conjuncts your Sun in 2009, marking a time of monumental changes to your identity. Freedom of expression is deeply important to you now. You are making breaks from elements from your past that have limited your freedom or that have kept you from expressing your individuality. This is a time when you are more willing to take personal risks. Uranus is the Awakener, and often “awakens” your consciousness to areas of your life that it touches in surprising ways. As such, there may be unexpected events that free you from confining situations or past conditioning patterns. You are more inspired this year, and your personality fairly bubbles with bursts of enthusiasm. Impulsiveness is something to watch out for, however. Your need for freedom can be so strong that you leave cherished things (or people!) behind. Alienating those close to you may occur now if you’re not careful. At the very least, people around you are surprised by your more rebellious and risk-taking nature. While you shouldn’t resist change now, you should avoid completely impulsive behavior. Changes in the image you project to others, and perhaps your personal style and appearance, take place this year. You might go through a series of personal makeovers. You are breaking free from the expectations of others in 2009. Your behavior tends to be more spontaneous, and perhaps a little rebellious. Freedom of personal expression is immensely important to you now, and if you turn a few heads or raise some eyebrows in the pursuit thereof, you don’t particularly worry about it!

January’s Solar Eclipse falls in your eleventh house. In the first half of 2009, you will be learning about letting go of your attachment to the drama of romance and personal relationships, as well as your willfulness. You are called upon to learn about the value of the team. You may need to give freedom to your romantic partner instead of expecting him or her to follow a script of your own making. You learn the value of brotherly love and the benefits of a sense of belonging to a community. Events are such that you move towards a more objective approach to your life and you cultivate true friendships. February’s Lunar Eclipse falls in your sixth house. There could be changes necessary in your job or health routines. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you know you have to do in order to feel more balanced.

July’s Solar and Lunar Eclipses fall in your fifth and eleventh houses respectively. These eclipses  suggest that social activity is the focus. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. You will learn to let go of a fear of taking risks, and to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. You are called upon to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect, which detaches you from your feelings. This series of eclipses is about learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence.

The August Lunar Eclipse falls in your solar twelfth house, and you may recognize an overwhelming need for rest and spiritual renewal. You’ve been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It’s time to balance your life with some down time–otherwise, you simply don’t feel whole.

Your strongest financial periods in 2009 occur from April 8-18 and May 26-June 6. Watch for overspending especially from May 18-31, however. Also, the period from March 6-April 17, while Venus is retrograde, can mean some backtracking and review is necessary when it comes to your personal finances. Avoid making major financial decisions during this period.
