Man, 2018. What a year, right? I remember it pretty well, mostly ’cause I was kind of in a fog. My job, it was just… dragging. Not exactly what I pictured doing, you know? And personal life? Let’s just say I was more confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles. Every day felt like I was just hitting repeat. I was craving something, anything, to shake things up or just give me a hint about what the heck was coming next. That feeling of being totally directionless? It’s a real bummer.
One evening, I was just scrolling, pretty much zoned out, looking for anything that wasn’t another cat video or a friend’s vacation pics. You know how it is. And then, somehow, I landed on this astrology site. I wasn’t really into horoscopes, not really, but I was desperate enough to give anything a shot. It was Susan Miller’s site, and for whatever reason, the specific title “Read your Pisces Monthly Susan Miller 2018 forecast today” just snagged my attention. I’m a Pisces, so, yeah, felt like it was speaking to me, even if it was just algorithms doing their thing.
I clicked on it. And man, those forecasts are long. Not just a couple of lines, but proper essays. I remember settling in, probably with a lukewarm cup of coffee, and just started reading. It talked about career shifts, unexpected travel, changes in relationships – all pretty generic stuff, right? But she had a way of writing, making it sound so specific and personal. I kinda scoffed at first, like, “Yeah, whatever, lady.” But then a little voice in my head was like, “What if?” And that “what if” was enough for me to keep going.
So, I didn’t become a horoscope evangelist overnight, but something shifted. I started checking it every month. Not religiously, but if I was feeling particularly lost, I’d pull up the new one, or even re-read the old ones just to see if anything resonated. It was like having a secret little roadmap, even if I totally doubted its accuracy. When she talked about a “financial opportunity” in spring, I actually started paying more attention to small gigs that popped up. When she mentioned “deep conversations leading to clarity” in summer, I actually pushed myself to talk to a friend about something that was bothering me, instead of just bottling it up.
Here’s the thing, it wasn’t magic. Nothing happened exactly as written, word for word. But what did happen, looking back, was that it gave me a framework. A way to interpret things. If something good happened, I’d think, “Oh, Susan said something like this might happen for Pisces!” If something bad happened, I’d shrug and think, “Well, maybe this is part of that ‘unexpected challenge’ she warned about.” It was like a psychological crutch, I guess. It made me more aware, more observant of the little shifts in my life. I started taking mental notes.
By the end of 2018, things had changed for me. Not because of a mystical cosmic force, probably, but because I’d unknowingly started shifting my own perspective. I actually took a leap and changed jobs, found something that felt a bit more aligned. My relationships felt clearer, mostly because I’d started initiating those “deep conversations” she talked about. It wasn’t about the predictions being precisely true, but about them prompting me to look for opportunities, to reflect on my feelings, to act. It sounds kinda goofy, but reading that monthly forecast, even just for fun, made me feel less like a leaf blowing in the wind and more like I had a tiny, slightly blurry compass. It made me engaged with my own life in a way I hadn’t been before, and that, for me, was the real takeaway.
