Taken from a time-line book, the events listed below relate to the planet's journey through the sign Pisces for approximately seven years.

Uranus can evoke record setting events (firsts) that leave a mark in history. Sudden, out-of-the blue events, electric and humanitarian efforts relate to the planet. The sign Pisces relates to events with water, medicines, horses, pollution and relief (pensions). In the list, notice the many events relating to women. The book contains many more events over the years relating to electric firsts. Considering we are now in the 21st century, what kind of 'firsts' might we see in the next seven to eight years that would relate to Uranus in the sign Pisces?

The predictions I offer would include many firsts in the area of medicines, hospitals, the secret services, the homeless and unfortunates. I think totally new kinds of structures will be designed to accommodate the new, radical ways of treating humans. Experimental drug use would be highly visible both legal and not. A new source of electricity may be found in water or the oceans and peculiar weather events may increase.
