Man, 2015 was a wild ride, I tell ya. I remember it vividly because that was the year I actually started digging deep into those monthly career forecasts for Pisces. Not because I was a super believer or anything, but I was just feeling kinda stuck, you know? Like, really at a crossroads with my job. My buddy, who’s way into all that astro stuff, kept bugging me, telling me to at least check my sign. And honestly, what did I have to lose?
So, I dove headfirst into it. I wasn’t just casually reading them online either. I found this one particular astrologer’s site that put out pretty detailed monthly breakdowns. I started a little notebook, just a simple spiral-bound one. Every month, I’d print out the forecast for Pisces career, stick it in there, and then, throughout the month, I’d just jot down stuff that happened at work, how I felt, any significant decisions I made, or stuff that came up. The idea was to compare it, see if there was anything to it.
January 2015 hit, and the forecast for Pisces career was all about “introspection and laying low.” It said, “Don’t push too hard, observe, and avoid major confrontations.” And honestly, that month, my boss was just a nightmare. I mean, usually, she’s alright, but that January, it was like she woke up on the wrong side of the bed every single day. I had this big idea I wanted to pitch for a new project, but every time I thought about bringing it up, something just told me to hold back. I saw a couple of colleagues try to go toe-to-toe with her on some minor stuff, and man, it just blew up in their faces. I remember writing in my notebook, “Forecast nailed it. Glad I kept my mouth shut.”
Then February rolled around, and the vibe changed. The forecast was talking about “unexpected opportunities emerging from casual conversations,” and “networking being surprisingly fruitful.” I usually hate networking, absolutely dread it. But that month, my company hosted this sort of informal innovation workshop – basically, a big pizza party with some brainstorming sessions. I almost skipped it. But the forecast was nagging in my head. So I went. And you know what? I ended up chatting with this guy from a completely different department, someone I’d never talked to before. We just connected over some stupid shared hobby, and by the end of it, he mentioned his team was looking for someone with my specific skill set for a side project. Nothing major yet, but it was a hook. I underlined “unexpected opportunities” in my notebook like three times.
March and April felt like a bit of a grind. The forecasts were pretty neutral, talking about “steady efforts” and “clearing backlog.” And that’s exactly what I did. Just head down, powering through tasks. Nothing exciting, but I felt productive. My notebook entries from those months are kinda boring, just lists of completed tasks, but the peace of mind knowing I was just doing what was “expected” by the stars, somehow made it easier to stomach.
But May, man, May was a game-changer. The forecast screamed, “A pivotal month for career decisions. Trust your gut. A bold move might be rewarded.” That casual conversation I had back in February? It turned into a real offer for that side project. It meant working extra hours, but it was a completely different kind of work, something I was genuinely interested in. And it wasn’t just a side gig; it had the potential to spin off into something bigger if it went well. My old job was still the same old grind, and I was just so fed up. It felt like a massive leap to take on more, potentially jeopardize my current standing. My brain was screaming “No, play it safe!” But reading that forecast, it was like a little voice telling me, “Go for it, dummy!” I remember sitting at my kitchen table, staring at the notebook, and just drawing a giant star next to that May forecast. I decided to take the leap.
The rest of the year, things started to really shift.
- June and July were about balancing both jobs. The forecast talked about “managing multiple demands” and “finding your stride.” It was tough, but that side project was exhilarating.
- August and September were about “gaining recognition” in new areas. And what happened? That side project started getting noticed by upper management. My name was being dropped in meetings I wasn’t even in!
- October was “reward for effort.” And bingo! They offered me a full-time position on the new project team, which meant I could finally ditch my old soul-crushing job. It was less money initially, but the potential, man! The potential was huge.
- By November and December, the forecasts were all about “new beginnings” and “creative expression flourishing.” And that’s exactly where I was. Starting fresh, feeling creatively alive for the first time in years.
Looking back, did the forecasts make those things happen? Probably not directly. But you know what? They definitely influenced how I perceived what was happening and how I reacted. When the forecast said “be introspective,” I held back. When it said “take a risk,” I pushed myself. It was almost like having this little nudge, giving me permission to listen to my gut feelings. That little notebook, filled with scribbled notes and underlined sentences, became a record of me actually paying attention to myself, guided by something outside of me. It was weird, it was cool, and it totally helped me navigate a really confusing year. Never thought I’d be someone who kept track of that stuff, but sometimes, a little guidance, even if it’s from the stars, can make all the difference when you’re feeling lost.
