Yearly Horoscope: 2013 Predictions for Pisces

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




2013 Overview for all Pisces. The year 2013 is stronger for relationships of all kinds, and especially love and "fun" friendships, dear Pisces. You're also a lot more grounded and confident. Ideally, you use the transit of Jupiter to your solar fourth that began in June of last year and ends in June of this year to the utmost - filling your inner well and strengthening ties with family. This way, by the second half of 2013, you can bring more natural confidence to a new cycle that involves exploring your more playful, dramatic, and creative side. It's a great year for home improvements of all kinds. Again this year, however, finances can be up and down. However, with Saturn no longer leaning up your secondary financial sector, you're in a slightly better position now with a better outlook for money sources beyond your personal income, including bonuses, a partner's contribution, and loans. It's your own income that requires some change. When it comes to money, you are challenged to think outside the box in order to come up with viable plans to improve your finances. Love is easier this year - considerably so. Serious relationships are less strained. Intimacy challenges lift. Romantic, playful, and casual relationships in the second half of 2013 can be easy to find (possibly a little too easy at times!). New avenues for recreation, amusement, creative expression, and hobbies can open up. This is a good year for stabilizing and organizing many areas of your life. The first week of February is an opportunity period that can involve partnership and financial gain. It's also strong for work in teams and for cementing friendships, although there can be rocky times with some friends or groups that you're associated with. Your values are changing, and they sometimes seem in stark contrast to those of friends. You are looking for solid answers and adjusting your belief system in major ways. Events might occur that have you thinking more deeply about your beliefs and morals. You can assume a leadership or teaching role this year quite naturally. You are able to talk about spiritual matters in an accessible way. In fact, throughout 2013, others can be quite intrigued with your unique vision.

2013 Details.


Until June 25th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar fourth house. You are likely to see benefits to home, family, property, and domestic comfort matters. Much joy and pleasure can be found in your family connections and experiences and/or your home life during this cycle. An increased sense of security and safety may be derived from your domestic life. Improvements to your home life, family, and basic psychological foundation are in focus. You might find that inner and personal experiences are more important to you during this cycle than more worldly ones. Opportunities to buy or sell real estate for financial gain may present themselves. Home improvements and renovations are favored, as is moving to a new dwelling (more spacious or larger homes are likely now). Some of you may buy or sell a house, and others may welcome a new addition to the family. You may move to a larger or more comfortable home; or you might enhance your existing home in such a way that makes you feel happier, perhaps by de-cluttering your space. Long-standing family problems may be ironed out. Relationships with parents and other family members go well. You may find special enjoyment through getting in touch with, or researching, your roots or family traditions. There could be a family reunion, vacation, or other event that gives you a stronger sense of connection to your family. Family may help you financially or an inheritance is possible for some of you. You take more pleasure in nurturing others. A stronger sense of psychological well-being may come now, as you take less interest in more worldly ambitions and activities. You might be bringing more friends and acquaintances home for entertaining. 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.

Because Jupiter rules your career sector and is found in your home sector, you could find that home, family, or property are elements that contribute to your professional success from June 2012 to June 2013. Working from home, with family, or in real estate or domestic fields may figure during this cycle.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fourth house, from January 30th to June 25th.

Jupiter entering Cancer on June 25th puts this planet of growth and expansion in your solar fifth house. From June 2013 to July 2014, you are likely to see benefits, and experience growth, in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children. Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store. Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun. For example, you might meet a new friend who spurs you to go out more, or you could be inspired by someone else's creative projects and begin a new and rewarding hobby. Creative projects are likely to fare well during this cycle, and could possibly even bring some type of recognition or reward. Love and romance may come into your life or an existing romance is enhanced with good humor and warmth. You might find that possibilities for casual love relationships open up to you now, and some of you could be overwhelmed with choices! Social engagements abound. For single  Pisceans, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it's more likely to be a casual relationship than a committed partnership. Investments in stocks and other speculative matters could earn profits. Healthy, wise risks are likely to pay off, but be careful of overconfidence in speculative investments.

Relationships with your children may be especially fulfilling now. Pregnancy or childbirth may occur during this period, if applicable. This is a fabulous period in which to take a vacation you've always wanted to take, to try out a new hobby or creative project/approach, to explore new ways of having fun, to enjoy single life, and so forth. Those with artistic or athletic talent can be especially successful and prosperous at this time. Your creativity and social life are stimulated this year, and plenty of opportunities to express yourself uniquely and creatively are likely to present themselves. You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around! 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. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of a good thing, and it's always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so. A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments.

Your work or career can require more creativity or artistry, or it might become more enjoyable, during this period.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house, from June 25th to November 6th. (This transit lasts until July 2014).

Jupiter transits trine your Sun from June 25-August 10. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It's natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you really enjoy life, appreciating the good things and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.

Saturn continues to transit your solar ninth house. This period in your life is generally dedicated to self-improvement. You are developing your ideals and your commitments. Ideals and spiritual goals that you may have taken for granted or worked with for many years seem superficial or not particularly useful to you now. You come face to face with your self-defeating attitudes during this period of time. Higher learning and travel might be areas of constriction or you might find you're attracted to especially practical studies and that you travel for business more than for pleasure. You are taking a closer look at, and re-assessing, your attitude and confidence. The blind faith or optimism that may have carried you to date comes up for inspection. Are your belief systems sound? What do you stand for? What kind of future are you working towards, and why? These are some of the questions this transit stimulates. The spirit that drives you and motivates you to move out and beyond the everyday grind comes up for inspection. By the end of the transit, you will have a better understanding of what it is that offers you hope and optimism as well as that which fuels your drive. You will be one step closer to knowing where you are headed, and you will have re-built faith in yourself. Ideally, you adopt a more mature attitude towards adventure and facing the unknown. You let go of self-defeating attitudes that have been holding you back, you recognize exactly where you have been overdoing your expectations, and you find new ways to nurture faith, hope, and vision. This is truly a period of self-discovery.

For many of you Saturn trines your Sun until October 2013, an influence that began in October 2012, and this helps you to better focus on your goals. This transit is a stabilizing one--others know they can rely on you, and you on them. Your vision is all the more realistic now, and pleasingly so. You work steadily and determinedly towards your goals. Authority figures and elders tend to look favorably upon you.

The North Node of the Moon is also transiting your solar ninth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your belief systems, religion, or perspective. This is a time for building your faith and understanding where you stand as well as what you believe in.

Neptune, your ruling planet, is in your own sign. This is a strong position for Neptune as it is in the sign that it rules. Your innate creative and imaginative qualities come strongly to the fore.

For those born approximately February 28-March 1, and those with an Ascendant of 9 to 10 degrees Pisces, Pluto sextiles your Sun in year 2013, bringing some wonderful benefits to you. Subtle yet deep changes within you affect 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.

For all of you, Pluto is slowly moving through your solar eleventh house. Attitudes towards friends and group involvements transform this year. Challenges with these matters are more likely in May, August, and November; while opportunities through these changes are likely to present themselves in March-April and September-October. Clashes between friends and lovers or children can occur this year. Some of you will be seeing some real conflict between your own values and the values of friends or groups. You might be feeling undervalued at times. Most of you will be taking your friendships and group connections more seriously this year and in years to come.

Uranus transits your solar second house this year, bringing about changes to your value system. Some of you are moving towards a less materialistic value system, and others may be encountering unexpected circumstances that bring about a fluctuating or uncertain income. There may be a trend towards Uranus-ruled areas as the major source of income in your life, such as through new technologies, science, computers, the Internet, or metaphysics. You are also inclined to take a few more risks with your finances, or unusual ways of making money could be in place during this cycle. The best advice for increasing your earning power now is to nurture your latent inventive or progressive, future-oriented talents.

The influence of Neptune is similar to last year for most of you. Neptune continues to transit your solar twelfth house, as it has been doing for a number of years. It's 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 and reward in some level 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".

However, for those born February 22-25, Neptune conjuncts your Sun this year. This influence sensitizes your mind, body, and soul to a higher energy. It can act to soften your disposition, as you become more attuned to subtleties in your environment and in everyday activities. You absorb the mood of those around you quite easily now, and your temperament is somewhat changeable as a result. This transit can add a mysterious aura to the way you project yourself to others. You tend to be less practical than you are idealistic, dreamy, and sensitive. Some of you may find the mundane concerns of life too boring to grab your attention! Some may feel less confident, as their direction in life is suddenly uncertain; others may attune themselves to a stronger spiritual purpose.

Chiron conjunct your Sun (or Ascendant) is active for those born February 26-March 1 and those with an Ascendant of 6-10 degrees Pisces. This influence is a healing one. Others look upon you with more respect, tolerance, and acceptance. You don't feel the need to prove yourself, and that feels good. You have the chance to shine, largely because you are projecting yourself with self-respect and modesty at once. You are especially appealing and charming during this transit just by being yourself. Opportunities—both personal and professional—are likely to present themselves as a result. You are not looking for credit for what you do, which frees you up to get it anyhow! New friendships are likely to emerge this year--supportive ones. As Chiron illuminates the wounds you have accumulated over the years with regards to your self-esteem, this may not be the most comfortable of transits at the outset, but you are given the chance to work on these issues and find ways to heal them. Openness to the process is crucial.

Eclipses in 2013 fall mostly in your third and ninth houses. You are receiving a cosmic push to become more active in your immediate environment (neighborhood, with siblings/relatives, etc.), and/or to learn and communicate facts that fuel your opinions. Transportation and mobility may become an issue. For example, some of you may be learning to depend on others for getting from point A to point B, and others may be learning to take charge of their own mobility. In October, a Lunar Eclipse in Aries gives you a cosmic push to take control of your finances. It may be time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people's needs and comfort levels. Shuffling around your finances is likely.

There may be some tense undercurrents or conflicts over money or values that disrupt a friendship this year.

You are in the position to inspire others through what you create this year. Do your best to create something tangible out of your ideas. You are bound to reach a broader audience if you do, and the feedback will feed the flames of your own inspiration. Happiness and fulfillment through the expansion of your mind, widening your social circle, travel, and connections to people of a different cultural background than you is indicated. Your idealistic nature is stimulated, and you are likely to yearn for a connection to more spiritual or idealistic pursuits. A sense of belonging through connection to something larger than yourself is a need this year. You might find that expressing yourself creatively really helps to define yourself and to understand yourself better. Your creative abilities are reflected in your outlook on life and love and romance are life experiences you strongly identify with. Children may be a stronger focus this year as well. You are more effective, in general, in attempts to express your creativity. You have a stronger ability to hold the attention of an audience. Love, love affairs, and other social activities help to enhance a healthy self image. Networking is strong for you in 2013, and opens you up to many new possibilities and ideas.

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!

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20) - 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:





2013 Overview for all Pisces. The year 2013 is stronger for relationships of all kinds, and especially love and "fun" friendships, dear Pisces. You're also a lot more grounded and confident. Ideally, you use the transit of Jupiter to your solar fourth that began in June of last year and ends in June of this year to the utmost - filling your inner well and strengthening ties with family. This way, by the second half of 2013, you can bring more natural confidence to a new cycle that involves exploring your more playful, dramatic, and creative side. It's a great year for home improvements of all kinds. Again this year, however, finances can be up and down. However, with Saturn no longer leaning up your secondary financial sector, you're in a slightly better position now with a better outlook for money sources beyond your personal income, including bonuses, a partner's contribution, and loans. It's your own income that requires some change. When it comes to money, you are challenged to think outside the box in order to come up with viable plans to improve your finances. Love is easier this year - considerably so. Serious relationships are less strained. Intimacy challenges lift. Romantic, playful, and casual relationships in the second half of 2013 can be easy to find (possibly a little too easy at times!). New avenues for recreation, amusement, creative expression, and hobbies can open up. This is a good year for stabilizing and organizing many areas of your life. The first week of February is an opportunity period that can involve partnership and financial gain. It's also strong for work in teams and for cementing friendships, although there can be rocky times with some friends or groups that you're associated with. Your values are changing, and they sometimes seem in stark contrast to those of friends. You are looking for solid answers and adjusting your belief system in major ways. Events might occur that have you thinking more deeply about your beliefs and morals. You can assume a leadership or teaching role this year quite naturally. You are able to talk about spiritual matters in an accessible way. In fact, throughout 2013, others can be quite intrigued with your unique vision.

2013 Details.

Jupiter continues to transit your solar third house until May. Educational and communication opportunities present themselves. You may increase your knowledge and skills set, and find much enjoyment in so doing. During this trend, neighbors or relatives could be especially helpful in your life. You express your ideas with more enthusiasm and positivity, and they are received well. You are able to comprehend more complicated subjects and problems, and you are able to explain them in such a way that others can readily understand; thus, teaching, authoring, or otherwise delivering information may be prosperous now. Higher level studies, courses, and perhaps some travel opportunities might arise during this cycle. Many of you will benefit from taking courses if you aren't already doing so, and those already involved in studies will benefit more than usual during this period. You may decide to buy a new car, or transportation opportunities present themselves, making it much easier for you to get from point A to point B. Gifts, benefits, or other opportunities may come through visits, short trips, messages, emails, or they could come through contacts with siblings, classmates, and neighbors. Some sort of positive news or announcement is likely to be part of the picture. If you're an author, teacher, or other position in communications, you will find more opportunities to advance your trade as your creative juices flow nicely. If you're a student, school is especially favored. If you're in business, you are likely to find sales are especially strong. In general, you find much joy in communicating, learning, and socializing. Career focus can be in the communications industry, or your career may necessitate more traveling, writing, or speaking. 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.

Because Jupiter rules your career sector and is found in your communications and transportation sector, your career might involve more commuting or contact, and professional success might be increased through word of mouth.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar third house, from January 30th to May 12th.

Jupiter transits your solar fourth house from May 12th. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits to home, family, property, and domestic comfort matters. Much joy and pleasure can be found in your family connections and experiences and/or your home life during this cycle. An increased sense of security and safety may be derived from your domestic life. Improvements to your home life, family, and basic psychological foundation are in focus. You might find that inner and personal experiences are more important to you during this cycle than more worldly ones. Opportunities to buy or sell real estate for financial gain may present themselves. Home improvements and renovations are favored, as is moving to a new dwelling (more spacious or larger homes are likely now). Some of you may buy or sell a house, and others may welcome a new addition to the family. You may move to a larger or more comfortable home; or you might enhance your existing home in such a way that makes you feel happier, perhaps by de-cluttering your space. Long-standing family problems may be ironed out. Relationships with parents and other family members go well. You may find special enjoyment through getting in touch with, or researching, your roots or family traditions. There could be a family reunion, vacation, or other event that gives you a stronger sense of connection to your family. Family may help you financially or an inheritance is possible for some of you. You take more pleasure in nurturing others. A stronger sense of psychological well-being may come now, as you take less interest in more worldly ambitions and activities. You might be bringing more friends and acquaintances home for entertaining. 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.

Because Jupiter rules your career sector and is found in your home sector, you could find that home, family, or property are elements that contribute to your professional success now. Working from home, with family, or in real estate or domestic fields may figure during this cycle.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fourth house, from May 12th to November 6th.

Saturn continues to transit your solar eighth house until the last week of December, and 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. 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. Saturn's presence in this sector of your chart 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. Towards the end of this transit, 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.

The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar ninth house until March, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your belief systems, religion, or perspective. This is a time for building your faith and understanding where you stand as well as what you believe in. From March forward, you are pointed in the direction of making inner changes and sharing with others.

Neptune, your ruling planet, is in your own sign. This is a strong position for Neptune as it is in the sign that it rules. Your innate creative and imaginative qualities come strongly to the fore.

Again this year, you may encounter some challenges between your personal goals and the demands of your career. The urge to expand and pursue your worldly goals is great, but you are also intent on a certain level of freedom to explore life. Of course, in order to further your career, you need to cultivate some self-discipline. This naturally comes at the expense of your personal freedom at times.

The influences of  Uranus and Neptune are similar to last year. Uranus continues its journey through your solar first house this year. Because Uranus is well beyond a transiting conjunction to your Sun (or Ascendant), its effects are less startling and more subtle than they were when Uranus first entered your first house. 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 continues to transit your solar twelfth house, as it has been doing for a number of years. It's 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 and reward in some level 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".

Eclipses in 2013 fall mostly in your third and ninth houses and your second and eighth houses. You are receiving a cosmic push to become more active in your immediate environment (neighborhood, with siblings/relatives, etc.), and/or to learn and communicate facts that fuel your opinions. Transportation and mobility may become an issue. For example, some of you may be learning to depend on others for getting from point A to point B, and others may be learning to take charge of their own mobility. As well, some drama with regards to a spouse's income, or your taxes and investments, may occur on a mundane level. It may be time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people's needs and comfort levels. Shuffling around your finances is likely this year. You might find others are supporting you financially, but you need to avoid creating dependencies that will put you back where you started.

You may be able to gain property or support from family this  year. Connecting intimately with another person boosts your sense of security. Business should subtly improve this year, and you are likely to be backed by superiors. Periods when you completely relax and retreat, removing yourself from everyday affairs, will be especially beneficial.
