Uranus in Pisces

Every rule of a game you invented as a child is still in your head, and you could teach it tonight.

The ice giant

Uranus is an ice giant, its pale blue-green colour coming from methane in the upper air, and deep inside it is thought to hold a hot, dense ocean of water, ammonia and methane under enormous pressure. Underneath, the planet of sudden change is mostly water, in forms that exist nowhere on Earth. Pisces, closing the circle of signs, with Jupiter as its old ruler and Neptune as its new, gives Uranus that kind of depth. Change here happens through feeling, art and belief.

Two dreaming generations

The 1920s children met the first films with sound, jazz on the radio and a world that went from boom to bust. The children of 2003 onward grew up inside screens and streams, making art, music and worlds of their own before they could drive. Both generations dream in new media.

Imagination first

Films make you cry before the sad part, because you can feel it coming. You feel the mood of the crowd before it has a name. Music, film, games, spiritual practice and any art that lets people escape and find each other speak to you. Healing, causes of compassion and anything that softens the hard edges between groups draw you in. You have a playlist for every mood and a few for moods with no name yet, and you can make a gathering of strangers feel something just by choosing the next song.

You have strong hunches, and they prove right more times than your friends expect.

Drifting

Imagination can become a hiding place. You can lose yourself in a world that is not real, absorb anxiety from the collective without knowing where it came from, and struggle to act on your dreams.

Old dances

They kept their music all their lives, could still do the dances, and told stories that seemed too strange to be true and were true all along.

The worlds the younger wave builds in its head, and shares with the people it loves, are the same gift in a newer form.
