Getting clear about your future direction has been a big issue in recent times, and especially because of the restless planetary battle between the planet of innovation Uranus which is governing your finances and creating unpredictability, the destiny orientated location of karmic powers of Pluto, and the hard headed impact of Saturn on close alliances, property and business affairs. So what will make this year different. Well, you could start of 2013, clearing up quite a few loose ends, and perhaps also this means coming to terms with elements of your past.

However, early in February Mars moves into your sign, and whilst this may sap your strength for a week or so, as it combines with your ruler, soon enough you will be on the front foot. And this year can see you starting to expand, quite a few strands of your situation, but progress will come from and openness to knowledge. Now this may see you formally learning new skills, or deploying experience you have gained in recent years. If you can apply this way of looking at what you eat and drink and how you exercise, you can really make the most of Saturn's transit through your 9th Solar House.

Yet there may be some clashes, particularly in early May, where you may encounter someone more forceful, or more opinionated  Be sure of measuring your words carefully then or else a legal dispute could follow. June however, sees the wonderful powers of Jupiter start to work its magic. This will be a real pep, right through to the end of the year, and see you feeling livelier and more sociable, and more in the mood to pitch into activities with others. This desire for engagement is boosted again with the Solar Eclipse on November 3rd, and you can be really determined to make progress, whatever obstacles you meet but also get fitter in the process.

Pisces Health

Pisces rules the lymphatic system, synovial fluids and functions of the glands in general etc. Swelling, allergic reaction to drugs, injuries to the feet and related problems are common complaints, but the Piscean emotional nature can also make them vulnerable to psychosomatic illness.

The Pisces moon gets the foot problems. Carefully fitted shoes, frequent changes of socks to prevent excess moisture and prompt attention to complaints should be every parent's concern for the child with a Pisces moon. A sliver in a toe can blow up into life-threatening blood poisoning. Athlete's foot as well as gout comes here. Diet helps gout; cleanliness and dryness prevent athlete's foot.

Pisces deals with the endocrine system and diabetes can cause severe foot problems as well as other difficulties. This is another sign of sensitivity to allergens and something like poison ivy can be a constant trouble if the individual is not careful.

Pisces women may be drawn towards excesses that mean they may be eating and drinking in excess, making them ill. They may suffer from varicose veins or guinea worms. Problems connected with lever, ankles and feet are possible. They should take a good care of them.

The susceptibility of the Piscean nature to drugs and alcohol as a way of dealing with the pressures of the world needs to be addressed in a sensitive and realistic way.reful to relieve their stress with proper exercise.

This sign also tends to sleep more than any other sign. Most Pisceans take plenty of retreat time to diffuse their consciousness away from worldly stress and housework and sleeping may be a retreat for these creatures.

According to Judith Hill, "It is completely natural and healthful for natives of this sign to eschew hard labor and sleep late. Pisces need plenty of decompressions time." I concur with this as I grew up with a Pisces-Aries cusp mother and lived with a Pisces woman for four years.


Dietary Considerations

Like Taurus the Bull, Pisces likes to indulge in luxury and enjoys eating.

"On account of their fondness for good food and easy life, Piscean people are subject to gout and the swelling of the feet."

Of all signs, none is more prone to addictions than Pisces. "Pisceans must never drink or take drugs because unnatural substances impact them more profoundly than most signs, and may lead to death." - Judith Hill

"The Piscean is prone to drift into the habit of drink and the use of narcotics, especially if we find an affliction of the moon and Neptune in the Horoscope."
