Paradigm shifts - new way of visualizing world

Uranus rules what excites the masses and where their vision is focused. This planet insists on being different, odd, and unusual. It rebels against the qualities of whatever sign it finds itself.

Pisces is a kaleidoscope of the mass subconscious, hanging out with the wealthy (Jupiter sub ruler), fascination, and dreams. Pisces needs solitude to meditate and find itself when the vibrational waves are calmed. Spiritual pursuits, but also ghettos and bohemias are found here. This sign is most comfortable blending in, but has compassion for those on the outskirts of society. It rules the ocean.

Pisces rules music, so much musical theorizing happens with Uranus in Pisces. However, for some reason, theories and discoveries about light and vision also seem to happen with this placement.

Uranus in Pisces has people in a state of constant excitement about the latest fad. Since Pisces also rules spiritual retreats and spirituality in general, Uranus in Pisces can be a need to find spiritual guidance. Unfortunately, this can turn into yet another fad, a guru of the month club.

1919-1927

This was exactly the period of the Roaring 20s. The book "Only Yesterday" gives a wonderful chronology and flavor of the times - it starts its narrative the month Uranus entered Pisces.

When Uranus entered Pisces, people stopped fearing (Saturn sub-ruler of Aquarius) people who were radical (Uranus) and instead had humor (Jupiter sub-ruler of Pisces) of the odd and different. The period started with The Daily News, the first successful tabloid. Since so much happened, we will take it a year at a time:

 
1921 - Film: Dream Street, Robin Hood (anti-rich) with Douglas Fairbanks

Throughout the period, prohibition was rebelled against. People focused on rebelling by using the drug, alcohol. Speakeasies were where the avant-garde congregated. Radio came into prominence - the mass media. So did modern advertising, where images were propagated to sell products.
