Man, let me tell you, this whole horoscope thing started because I was bored and broke, and honestly, a little desperate for something, anything, to feel solid. It wasn’t some spiritual awakening or anything deep like that. It was pure necessity and a cheap way to feel productive when my actual job prospects looked like a flat line on a monitor.
The Day I Decided to Stop Guessing and Start Researching
It was a Tuesday, I remember it because the trash hadn’t been picked up and the whole street smelled. I was staring at my phone, trying to figure out which bill to ignore this month. My old college roommate, Sarah—a total Pisces, by the way—called me up practically in tears. She was freaking out about a big client presentation, stressing about money, and generally feeling like the universe was just tripping her up on purpose.
I didn’t have any real advice. I’m not a financial genius or a life coach. But I thought, hell, maybe I can give her some fake advice that sounds official enough to calm her down. I’d always scoffed at those newspaper horoscopes, but now, I needed a tool. Something simple. Something prescriptive.
So, I started digging. Not the fancy, read-a-textbook kind of digging. I went straight for the source materials that the low-cost operations use. I needed a weekly forecast for Sarah, so I focused on the immediate movements. Forget the long-term, vague stuff. What’s happening right now to the planets that everyone actually talks about?
- First, I zeroed in on the Sun’s current position. That’s the easiest part.
- Second, I tracked the Moon. Everyone knows the Moon matters, so I pulled up a simple transit chart just to see if there were any wild full moons or new moons crashing into Pisces’ sign this specific week. (Spoiler: There was, a tricky one.)
- Third, the big two for this particular assignment: Venus for the Love stuff and Mars for the Money or Action stuff.
That initial search took me two hours, and half of that was just trying to translate the terrible, jargon-filled sites. I swear, they try to make it sound complicated so you’ll pay them for the translation. But I’m cheap and stubborn. I just kept hammering away at the keywords until I had some basic planetary locations.
Translating the Cosmic Jibberish into Real Talk
The hard part wasn’t finding Mars’ position. The hard part was figuring out what “Mars square Neptune” actually means for a person trying to keep their laptop from crashing or trying to get a decent date. I hate the mystical language. I needed a process to make it sound like genuine, helpful guidance.
My method became a three-step filter for every major transit I identified:
Step 1: The Raw Energy. I’d write down the transit. Like, “Venus entering Aries.”
Step 2: The Pisces Filter. How does Venus in Aries feel to a naturally more sensitive, water-based Pisces? It’s probably going to feel pushy and fast. They’ll want to chase things, but also get overwhelmed easily.
Step 3: The Actionable Advice (Love). I turned “pushy and fast” into: “You’re feeling brave, maybe too brave. Send that text, but for God’s sake, don’t buy two plane tickets yet. Keep it casual, keep it light. No heavy emotional dumps this week.”
I did the same for the money section.
The money focus was all on Jupiter and Saturn—the ‘expansion’ and ‘restriction’ guys. I saw Jupiter was giving Pisceans a break in a finance-related house, which was good news for Sarah. That meant I could lead with a positive. “Good time to call the client and ask for that rate increase.” But then I saw Saturn coming in with a restricting aspect later in the week. So I immediately added the defense layer.
It had to be balanced. It couldn’t be all sunshine, or nobody would trust it. It’s like a weather forecast—if you only predict sun, the moment it rains, people ditch your app. You have to mention the 30% chance of showers.
The Final Output: Getting the Free Forecast Out
I ended up writing about five hundred words, all broken down into simple sections. I deliberately called it “Free” because, honestly, I was just starting out. I was trading content for credibility. I sent the whole thing to Sarah and then posted it on my super small, simple blog just to see what happened. No ads, no sign-ups, nothing fancy. Just the forecast.
This is what I ended up structuring for the final share—a quick, punchy list so people could read it fast and get back to their lives. I didn’t want people hanging around, I wanted them to get the takeaway and run.
Weekly Forecast for Pisces: Love and Money
-
Love & Relationships:
- That quick energy you’re feeling is Venus stirring things up. Use it to initiate contact, but don’t force a commitment. You’re moving too fast and others can’t keep up.
- Midweek, you need to pull back and recharge. If someone is pushing for too much attention, it’s okay to say no. Your sensitive side is on high alert, so protect your boundaries.
-
Money & Career:
- Great news on the expansion front—Jupiter is giving you a green light on asking for a little extra. Push for that raise or higher rate early in the week. This is your small window of confidence.
- However, Saturn is setting up a roadblock near the weekend. This is not the time for big purchases or signing complicated contracts. Get that stuff done before Thursday. After that, put your wallet away and review all the details.
Sarah called me back. She said she read the love part and deleted a text she was about to send her new date that sounded way too intense. She didn’t get the huge raise, but she asked for a smaller one and got it. She told me, “It just made me slow down.” That was the real win. It wasn’t fortune telling. It was just giving her a simple, weekly framework to manage her expectations. And that, right there, is why I kept doing this nonsense.
