Man, I’ve always been one of those folks who gets a kick out of figuring things out, you know? Not like, rocket science level, but more like, seeing patterns, trying to connect dots. It’s funny, I never really went deep into all the astrology mumbo jumbo, but every now and then, something sparks my interest. This time, it was my buddy, a Pisces, born right there on February 23rd. He’s a good guy, but he can get a bit lost in his own head sometimes, always wondering what’s around the corner.
So, a few weeks back, he hit me up. “Hey,” he texts, “what’s September looking like for me? Anything I should know?” I chuckled. Usually, I’d just point him to some online horoscope site and call it a day. But this time, something made me think, “Why not try to figure it out myself, even if it’s just a rough sketch?” It felt like a little personal challenge, a chance to actually do something rather than just read someone else’s take.
First thing I did was dig out some old books I had – you know, the ones I picked up years ago, full of dusty charts and symbols I barely understood. I flipped through them, trying to remember what was what. It was a total bust, honestly. Too much jargon, too many technical bits that just flew over my head. I realized pretty quick that trying to decipher ancient texts wasn’t my jam. My “practice” had to start somewhere simpler.
So, I jumped onto the internet, just like everyone else. But instead of just looking up “Pisces September horoscope,” I tried to break it down. I figured, if I wanted to make my own “predictions,” I needed to understand the moving parts. I started by searching for “planet positions September” and then specifically “planets in Pisces September.” I wanted to see where the big players were going to be.
I remembered someone once saying that Jupiter brings expansion and good luck, while Saturn can mean responsibilities or tough lessons. So I tracked those two first. I saw Jupiter was still chilling in a spot that felt pretty good for my friend’s creative side and maybe some personal growth. Saturn, though, was in a different zone, pointing towards practical stuff, like daily routines and health. I kinda jotted this down as “head in the clouds meets feet on the ground.” It was a clunky way of thinking, but it made sense to me.
Then, I moved on to the quicker movers: Mercury, Venus, and Mars. These guys move fast, and they change the vibe constantly. I looked up “Mercury transit September,” “Venus transit September,” and “Mars transit September.” It was a bit of a scattergun approach, but I was just trying to collect ingredients for my “prediction stew,” you know?
The real grind started when I tried to put it all together. I had charts open on my computer, my messy notes scribbled on a pad, and I was trying to cross-reference dates. It felt like solving a weird, cosmic puzzle. I’d see Mercury doing its thing, then Venus coming into play, and I’d ask myself, “Okay, how does that feel for someone born on Feb 23rd, a Pisces?” My focus was always on my friend, keeping his general personality in mind as I went.
One big thing that stuck out was Mercury going retrograde towards the end of September. I mean, everyone talks about Mercury retrograde, right? For a Pisces, who can already be a bit dreamy and vague sometimes, I immediately thought, “Communication’s gonna be a bit wonky.” That was a solid note for my buddy – double-check messages, maybe don’t sign any big contracts without a good look-over. I made sure to mark that down in bold letters on my little “report.”
Venus also caught my eye. It was going to shift into a different house for Pisces, which often means relationship stuff or how you value things. For my friend, I saw it pointing to a time when his connections with people, both personal and professional, would be highlighted. Maybe some good vibes, maybe some hard conversations. It felt like a period of reassessment in that area.
Mars, the planet of energy and action, was also on the move. When I tracked its path, it seemed to be lighting up areas related to finances and personal values for Pisces. I figured this meant a surge of energy towards sorting out money matters or perhaps making some bold moves related to what truly matters to him. It wasn’t about sudden riches, but more about taking charge of his resources and inner sense of worth.
I even started tracking the Moon phases, just for a bit of extra flavor. I saw when the new moon and full moon were going to hit, and how those might amplify certain energies. A new moon in a certain spot could mean new beginnings, while a full moon could bring things to a head. It was a lot of swirling information, but I was determined to distill it into something useful.
So, after all that messy, self-taught observation, here’s what I pieced together for my February 23rd Pisces pal for September:
- Early September looked like a big push for his creative endeavors. That Jupiter vibe felt strong, giving him a burst of confidence to pursue artistic projects or just generally feel more optimistic. It was a good time to dream big and put those dreams into action.
- Mid-month, things seemed to swing a bit more towards the practical. With Saturn’s influence, I figured he’d be focusing on getting his daily routines in order, maybe sorting out some health stuff, or just handling the nitty-gritty of life. It felt like a call to ground himself, to build a stronger foundation.
- Relationships, both close ones and professional networking, also looked like they’d be under a microscope. Venus was bringing that energy, suggesting it was a time for either deepening bonds or having some honest talks that needed to happen. It was a period to understand what he truly valued in his connections.
- And for sure, that Mercury retrograde toward the end of September. I warned him to be extra careful with any important communications. Misunderstandings could pop up easily, and things might not go as planned. It was a time to slow down, review, and not rush into decisions.
- Financially, I saw a period where he might feel more empowered to take control. Not necessarily a huge windfall, but a chance to be proactive about his money and what he invests his time and effort into.
Honestly, it was a pretty cool process. It wasn’t about being an expert, just about rolling up my sleeves and trying to make sense of something that usually feels so out of reach. It was a fun little journey, and I actually got a kick out of putting my own spin on it. My friend got a kick out of it too, I think. He even said some of it resonated. Maybe I’ll do this again sometime.
