Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Your January Horoscope by Susan Miller

Have you been feeling stuck in a career that demands a great deal of effort but that gives you too little reward? No, longer, dear Pisces! Hold on to your hat! All that will change in a big way this month, thanks to a rare, once-in-two year visit of Mars to your tenth house of honors, promotion, prestige and honors.

Whenever warrior Mars visits your pinnacle tenth house career sector, as it will from January 16 to March 4, you will become more courageous and determined to get your due, and will do whatever is necessary to get ahead. This is the right tact to take, as higher ups will begin to notice you. Better yet, they be more willing to go out of their way to open doors for you. All your hard work in 2001 and 2002 is about to pay off in ways you can't quite imagine. The respect and adulation you receive in this period will lift you into a whole new realm for the next two years.

Think back to January 2001 when you last had Mars' favor. If you did everything right in your career at that time, you were propelled in a new direction. That chapter is now ending and a new one will begin. If you feel you didn't apply yourself well enough back in January 2001 to take advantage of all the career cosmic goodies on tap, or if you were not in the work force back then, no matter  you will get a second chance now. Take full advantage of what's on tap because January and February will offer your best professional opportunity of 2003. Your life will be changed by this period. It is vital that you give most of your energy to professional interests once you reach mid-month.

You don't have to seal all your career victories during this magical period from January 16 to March 4, but you do have to plant as many seeds as possible at this time. Over the next two years those seedlings will flourish. While not every career project will reach fruition, a far greater than usual number of them will, for you will have mighty Mars behind you now, when it counts.

Make a wish list of future career successes and take steps to make them happen. Speak to people who are in-the-know in your industry, and while you are at it, schedule a meeting with your boss. Ask about future opportunities in your present firm, and also look at your options elsewhere. If you need more education, investigate undergraduate and graduate programs, continuing education programs, and find out about scholarships. If you feel you have the credentials to move up, be more assertive about getting your name in front of higher ups.

If you are self-employed, do some focused self-promotion for your business, or launch an advertising/publicity campaign. With your planets, whether you are self-employed or work for others, there is a strong possibility that you will be written up in press this month, or interviewed on TV or radio.

Saturn and Pluto's difficult opposition has hampered your progress over the past eighteen months. This very tense aspect caused stress not only in your career but also in your home/family/residence area as well. This aspect is so rare that we see it only once every twenty-nine years. (We will get a similar one in fourteen years, but that's a long time away! Plenty of time to recover and prepare!)

Saturn and Pluto ended their argument last May 2002, but they have remained within six degrees of one another since then and have been able to shout at one another, which did little to relieve the continual pressure on you. If you were born at the very end of the sign, near March 15 or beyond, you are still feeling the direct rays of these two planets' interaction  and you know it's not a picnic. However, Saturn is the faster moving of the two planets, and will finally clear Pluto's range by mid-May. By then, you'll feel less of a pull between demands of home and career and more relaxed about your place in the world. By early June, Saturn will no longer be a factor, as it will move into Cancer and will finally begin supporting  instead of challenging  your every move.

Returning to our discussion of January, be very careful not to anger a top boss or client on Friday, January 17, when warrior Mars will be in a very tough angle to unpredictable Uranus. This is an explosive combination, so treat any situation that may come up as highly volatile and do what you can to keep it tempered. Someone who wants you to think he's (she's) your friend is not. Be careful of what you tell others this month, particularly near January 17 or 20. The information you share might be used against you.

There is no doubt that you will feel tension in January, but looking at your chart, it appears to be tension that you can handle. Better yet, it appears to be the kind of tension that motivates you.

Your progress will be somewhat hampered by Mercury's retrograde orbit from January 2 to January 22. Mercury is the planet of communication and transportation, so when Mercury settles down for a nap, the rest of us might as well, too. Nothing seems to go according to plan, and cancellations, postponements, misunderstandings and data losses abound. (That's why you must back up your computer tonight, least you forget!) It is no time to launch new endeavors, sign contracts or shake hands on new deals. Instead, it is a perfect time to reassess, review or revamp an existing project to make it more relevant to changing needs (yours or those around you).

There is an upside to Mercury's backward orbit. This month, Mercury will retrograde in your eleventh house of friendship, suggesting that you may see lots of old buddies in the weeks ahead, some of whom you have not seen for years. Reconnecting is always fun, and there could be someone with whom you shared a happy past who has an idea for you that could affect your future.

This eleventh house/friendship sector of your chart will be particularly lit up this month, for it is also emphasized by the new moon on January 2. As a result, you appear to get "out there" with a higher than usual profile. You will be able to extend your circle quite a bit and edge closer to goals by speaking to friends and new acquaintances. Their input appears to be vital, so lend an ear to those you trust. In a way, this month, who you know will turn out to be as important as what you know.

If you were born on or within five days of March 1, you will feel this new moon more dramatically than most other Pisces. All new moons bring on two weeks of powerful energy in the house in which they fall, so note that this date, January 2, is not just one day but the start of many days you can use to enlarge your social contacts.

If the new moon falls BEFORE your birthday (that is, if you were born on March 3 or later), a new twist will be added to your life by this new moon. Perhaps you will make a close friend, or join a club or other organization that will help you quite a bit in weeks ahead. If the date of the new moon, March 1, falls AFTER your birthday (that is, you have a February birthday) than someone you already know will help to unlock a rather fortunate breakthrough to a key goal, possibly one that is career-related.

Let's not forget that the eleventh house, which is so brilliantly lit this month, rules hopes and wishes in addition to Platonic friendships. It appears that whatever goal you move closer to this month is one that means a great deal to you. Perhaps it is something you have dreamed about for months, or even years. No matter, this month the universe wants to lend you a hand to get within reach of that goal.

If you are offered an exciting new job this month  and you might be  before you give your nod of approval, wait until Mercury turns direct. That means you can give your answer on or after January 23, but not before. You can have interviews and answer questions, but try not to give your final answer (if you can help it) until January 23. In fact, it would be wise not to act on any life-altering changes, legal documents or big purchases while Mercury is out of phase. Doing so or after January 23 will save you lots of trouble later on, so put off what you can.

Just before Mercury gets out of retrograde, you will have a positively glittering three-star day on January 21, when Venus, now in your house of reputation, will send good-fortune Jupiter a very happy hello. It seems like your fine work on the job will be appreciated BIG time then. You may even see more money in your wallet, as both Venus and Jupiter are associated with financial benefits. Save this date for one of your key exploratory meetings. Your phone may ring on its own  keep your antenna up for everything that happens on this day. January 21 will be out of this world!

Your personal life will also get a big boost at the full moon on January 18, plus or minus four days. If the new moon on January 2 is marvelous for fun and friendship (which it should be), the full moon in Cancer on Saturday, January 18 will be just as sensational for full-blown romance. This full moon will contact Mars, a sexy vibration, and bring on a thrillingly passionate and tender episode. Cancer is a highly compatible water sign, like yours, so you could not wish for a better full moon for matters related to love. Whether married or single, you are due for an enchanting night out  no one is left out of this aspect!

If you have been thinking about having a baby, this full moon may finalize that decision, and it would be a good time to move ahead with that plan. Cancer is considered one of the most fertile placements of the moon.

If you were born within four days of March 18, you will feel the effects of this full moon more powerfully than other Pisces. (You may have Pisces rising, or have other planets in Pisces; if you do at or near 27 degrees Pisces, you will also feel this full moon in the most thrilling way.)

If your MOST romantic day is Saturday, January 18, your second-place runner up will be the day prior, Friday, January 17, when Venus sends a wink to you ruler, glamorous Neptune. In third place I like January 21, although you may find this day more beneficial for matters of career rather than matters of the heart! See what happens. It's bound to be a very exciting couple of days, that's for sure!

Two more terrific date nights will line up at month's end: Add Friday, January 24 and Saturday, January 25, when Venus will waltz with macho Pluto; and Thursday, January 30, when the Sun will have a meeting with Neptune on your behalf. The latter will be a soft, sentimental day, just made for flowers, perfume, music and a candle lit dinner.

Pisces, you are so fortunate that you have both the sizzling career aspects AND the romantic ones rolled up into one glorious month. And while you will have more than your share of delays and annoyances due to Mercury retrograde, in the scheme of things, they don't seem all that bad. Too many good things are going on in your life for you to get upset. You know you are ready to leap to another level, and the rest of the world seems to sense it too!

Summary:

You are moving into an exciting period for career acclaim, dear Pisces, and proof of this should arrive soon. Work to advance professional matters from January 15 to March 4, a truly golden period that will permit you to leave your mark upon the world. On January 21, Venus and Jupiter will work overtime to see you get a career break, so see what happens on that magical day.

A new moon on January 2 in your eleventh house of friends, new acquaintances and social activities will usher in two weeks of fun events. You may make a new friend, be introduced to a new business contact who proves to be quite a buddy, or join a new club that you later realize had much more to offer you than you esteemed.

On the weekend of January 18, with the full moon in Cancer, you can expect a deliciously romantic episode to come out of the blue. In all, January will be filled with cosmic goodies for you, Pisces. Enjoy every minute!
