Man, lemme tell ya, getting into this whole astrology thing for real, and then putting out these weekly forecasts, it wasn’t something I ever really planned. Not truly. I kinda just stumbled into it after hitting a proper rough patch, you know? Like, life just threw a major curveball, and I was just scrambling, looking for anything, absolutely anything, to make some kind of sense out of the chaos.
I remember just feeling totally lost, like adrift at sea. Everything seemed to be going sideways, and I was spending countless hours just scrolling online, searching for answers, some kind of sign, any little bit of guidance. That’s when I kept bumping into all these astrology sites. At first, I was super skeptical, I mean, seriously, ‘come on, how can the stars tell me anything at all about my messed-up life?’ But, honestly, something just kept pulling me in, kept nagging at me. I figured, what’s the harm in just looking, right? What’s the worst that could happen?
My Dive Into the Deep End
So, I started digging. And let me tell you, there was a whole lot to dig through. It felt like an endless ocean of information. I went out and bought a couple of those seriously old, super thick astrology books – the kind with absolutely tiny print, hardly any pictures, and a real musty smell, you know the type? Then I was glued to YouTube, watching endless videos, trying desperately to figure out what a ‘square aspect’ even meant, or what Mercury retrograde actually did. My head was spinning most of the time, just trying to keep up. I felt like my brain was going to explode.
I’d just sit there and write notes, literally pages and pages of them, just trying my best to make some kind of sense of all these crazy symbols and planets and houses. It honestly felt like I was trying to learn a whole new language from scratch, and I was just fumbling through it, trying to put together even the most basic sentences. Lots of late nights, trust me, just me and a cup of cold coffee, staring intently at those intricate charts, trying to decipher them.
After a good while, something in my brain finally clicked. I realized I was really, really drawn to the specific energy of Pisces. Maybe it’s because I’ve got a bunch of Pisces stuff in my own birth chart, or maybe it was just their dreamy, sensitive, almost ethereal vibe. Either way, I started focusing all my learning on understanding them specifically. It made things a whole lot less overwhelming when I wasn’t trying to master all twelve signs, all twelve houses, and all the gazillion aspects at once. Just focusing on Pisces felt manageable, like I could actually get my arms around it.
Building My Weekly Forecast Grind
Getting to the point of actually putting out a weekly forecast for Pisces? That, my friend, was a whole other beast altogether. I mean, it’s one thing to understand your own chart, or even a close friend’s, but to craft something general, yet insightful, for an entire sign? It felt like a monumental task. My process, honestly, started out incredibly messy. Like, seriously, super messy and unorganized.
- First things first, checking the sky: I always had to figure out what the heck was even happening in the sky for that particular week. I’d pull up those infamous ephemeris tables – you know, those crazy grids of numbers and symbols that look like alien code – and just stare at them, trying to trace where all the planets were moving, what signs they were entering, what degrees they were at. It felt like being a cosmic detective.
- Spotting the big movers: Then I’d hone in on the really big stuff: where was the Moon going to be throughout the week? Were any of the major planets changing signs? Were they making any big connections or aspects with each other? I’d meticulously mark it all down on a printout of a calendar I kept specifically for this.
- Translating for my Pisces pals: After I had all that astronomical data, the real work began: trying to translate what these cosmic movements might mean for a typical Pisces person. Like, if Mars was suddenly going to be hitting their relationship house, what would that even feel like for someone who’s usually pretty chill and peace-loving about conflict? How would it manifest?
- Drafting the core ideas: I’d start drafting ideas, really rough bullet points at first. Like, something super blunt, “Mars in 7th – fight with partner?” Then I’d immediately soften it, think about the gentle, empathetic Pisces nature, and try to refine it to something more useful and less alarmist, like, “Could feel some tension rising in partnerships, perhaps a gentle push to address underlying issues you’ve been avoiding.”
- Structuring the message: I’d usually break the forecast down into a few common, easily digestible themes – things like love life, career and finances, and just general health and well-being. People always wanna know about those aspects of their lives, right? It makes it easier for them to connect with.
It was never just a quick, five-minute thing, believe me. I’d spend hours sometimes, just poring over my notes, re-reading my interpretations, re-thinking certain planetary placements, trying my absolute best to get the vibe of the forecast just right. Not too scary, definitely not too fluffy or sugar-coated. Just honest, practical guidance that felt genuine. And then, once I had it all down, I’d type it up, give it a final read-through, and push it out there.
